Fan of cars from EVs to racing, cats, UK, UNC, & the Reds.
I have to say this TNT broadcast crew—save the only actual road course racer Parker Kligerman—criticizing SVG and not embracing his dominance on road courses is quite disappointing for a group of NASCAR folks I’ve respected for so long.

Got a loaner @fordmotorsofficial.bsky.social Maverick, and I am shocked by how much I like it. If I were looking for a new reasonably-priced vehicle, it would be in my top 5.

I used to love the build up and spectacle of the Indy 500, but it seems it’s always a rain-impacted race with silly incidents and never lives up to the hype. But I love the Monaco GP, so what do I know?

Two seasons ago, I knew McLaren was the team to ascend back to their past heights. The last couple of weeks have me thinking Williams is on the same trajectory. Maybe a red double-5 for the Smooth Operator next year? Albon in career best form, Sainz doing what Sainz does, and JV leading expertly.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Seems the refs huddled at halftime determined to get Houston this win. Absolutely bogus what is called on one end vs. the other. #ncaa #holdofficiatingaccountable

It’s appalling how many ways there are to gamble on sports, how advertisements proliferate online and throughout arenas, TV, sports apps, & entertainment, but it must be fine since at the end/bottom they always mention “if you have a problem, call…”

This country needs @petebuttigieg.bsky.social to lead it from its current incompetence and evil back to humanity, intelligence, and prosperity for all. Let’s go Blue!

Government abductions are unconstitutional.

Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional.

If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute…

They’ll get to you soon enough.

I know it bothers you as much as it does me that journalism as an institution can’t process that what it’s seeing on a daily basis is evil people doing evil sh*t

Not incompetence, not naivete, not negligence, not mispeaking, not mixups, not miscommunications: straight-up evil people doing evil sh*t

25% tariffs on “all cars not produced in the US.” Manufactured for final assembly, certain percentage of US-sourced parts, certain corporations, or what of the extremely complex global supply chain will be considered for this latest ignorant plan by this corrupt administration?

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

How many signs of democratic collapse do we need?

A push to impeach judges not for misconduct but defying Trump? Refusal to honor a court order to turn around planes? Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act outside wartime? A budget clearing him to ignore Congress? Jailing students?

The list goes on.

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released
International travelers concerned about President Donald Trump’s trade policies and bellicose rhetoric have been canceling trips to the United States, depriving the U.S. tourism industry of billions of dollars at a time when the economy has started to appear wobbly.

DHS said she was a terrorist sympathizer and “involved in activities supporting Hamas, a terrorist organization." Revoked visa, but offered no evidence.

Social media was pro-Gaza, but she said she did not attend any protest. Offered no due process.

Last night’s poor quality officiating at @secsports.bsky.social OU vs UK game—worst complete game I’ve ever seen. Missed/no calls, bad reviews, repeated attempts to manipulate the outcome of the game from the tip to end. Hoping for better going forward and some official comments on what happened.

While it never felt limiting in where to go, the opening of the Supercharger network to Ford has made travel so much easier. No more diligent trip planning, reading reviews of each EVSE along a route. Now if there’s a compatible Supercharger, it’s going to work, charge quickly, and then continue.

FP1 in the books. The Las Vegas GP is going to be a blast, should be landing just before FP2 comes to an end. Hoping Sainz can find a bit more pace & McLaren can get both cars sorted.
