Why they gotta look so damn weird.
They want to show how they are "thinking different" and are making "futuristic" cars. Probably so they don't compete with themselves. I can see the logic from a marketing standpoint. But it's why the ID4 and I-pace are tops on my list. They don't look too different than "normal" cars.

Something like this is my ideal...

I feel like car designs are all still pretty similar, and I do like seeing something different, I just think this one kinda looks like a modern Ford Flex (which definitely had its share of fans).

haha! True. So random because I was just talking with someone 2 days ago about the Flex. The vehicle that was born an SUV, but identifies as a car. ;)

And yeah, there is always some trend chasing in cars (spaced letters for luxury, or boxy/rounded yo yos back and forth), but you gotta hand it to Polaris. They said to themselves.... "what if we just sold drivers part of the front half of a car!"

A friend has one and I drove it. Fun to drive but essentially, just like a motorcycle, if you get in an accident on the freeway, you are done.

The new Florida bill that prohibits trainings that cause someone to feel guilty or ashamed about the past collective actions of their race or sex.

Regardless of how you feel about it, this is going to be a nightmare regarding enforcement and judicial review. How do you have teachings that simply ignore history if they may cause those feelings? How in the hell do you actually gauge whether someone does or should feel guilt or shame? Calling it the Stop WOKE Act is just the crust on this snowflake pie.

So to review...
  • My life may be in danger due to how the police conduct themselves. Can I use my freedom of speech to go down on one knee for approximately 20 minutes in the entire year? HELL NO!!! NOT THE TIME AND PLACE!!!
  • My feelings are sometimes hurt by the facts of history. Can a law be passed so I don't have to feel that way? Absolutely, we are on it.

Yeah, I could see how driving at 65 mph in a soaking tub could be dangerous.

Always has great coverage and can get these fools to open up to him.


I shared from the point he interviews that lawyer and how he adds the real data as she spews her nonsense.

And let me add all these idiots who are pro Putin in this convoy, go ahead and move to Russia. Good luck driving a truck there.

So I guess the Press Secretary was asked yesterday "why doesn't Biden own an EV?"
Few items here:
1. Presidents are not allowed to drive.
2. He commuted via train for 50 years.
3. He is old. Do you really want an old man with a hat on driving in the left lane going 55mph with his left turn signal on?

Just curious, how many trips did Trump make to Mar-A-Lago when he was president? Was Peter Doocy and Fox News concerned about that carbon footprint?

I think Fox and the right media would be a lot better served if they actually learned how to ask questions to actually elicit usable responses rather than teeing up Psaki to fuckin bludgeon them repeatedly.

For example, there’s definitely a story in the administration basically telling people complaining about gas prices to “get an electric” while ignoring all the trickle-down inflationary issues high fuel costs have, and there is DEFINITELY a fucking play here when they’ve just decided to full-on blame Putin for a year’s worth of rampant inflation based on a three week old war, but when you have a guy starting his question with “a lot of people are saying…” you’re done before the question even gets answered.
