In a few years the US car dealerships lobby will be pressuring state govts and the national govt for bailouts.

They made a short sighted move to be anti-EV because there is no long term money in parts, maintenance, and unnecessary environmentally disastrous service.

It was so unexpected to see a Bride of Frankenstein riding a tricycle (Glows in the Dark!) model kit I stared stunned for several minutes, confused then wondering if I needed it.

Look all I can think about when I hear the notion that the President got an MRI for poorly defined reasons is how incredibly hard it is for your average normie to get one for a clear, unambiguously important reason

If you could jump a Doctor Who into a story from the season before or after their tenure, what do you think would be a good fit? I reckon Tom Baker would've been in his element in Kinda - flirting with Nerys then getting called an idiot by Mary Morris would've left him in ecstatic.

Troughton in "Inferno". Imagine him scampering frantically about, trying to get people to listen to him. Fixing the computer at gunpoint. Aggravating Stahlman just by existing. "Listen to that! It's the sound of this planet screaming out its rage!" is a total Troughton moment.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Love the movie. Saw it in the cinema.

Wanted a Landmaster model. Built it in Lego. Yes, the wheel assembly rolls like it should.

Just asked my wife a mostly rhetorical question and immediately sensed her mind overthinking it so I quickly added “It’s ok to say I don’t know.”

The Munsters poses the chilling question, what if your parents were a vampire and a Frankenstein? The Addams Family poses the chilling question, what if your parents were openly sexual?
