Due to (mostly) planned maintenance on the Cayenne, been driving the M2 and Celica a bit more the last few days and enjoying the weather.
The manual transmission is lovely. Hydraulic steering is wonderful. Engines that need to rev a bit are so much more engaging.

Had to stop by the BMW dealer for some fluids I thought I had but didn’t, guy behind me in the parts line was surprised to come across someone who worked on their own M2 comp. Chatted a bit about beater JCWs and all. Good day.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Turns out the goal is not to have the lowest mileage Porsche but rather the highest.
I remember stumbling across a for sale listing for a 997 with 250k, one owner. That’s it, that’s how it’s done.

@ericmbudd.com something I feel you might have a lead on, like 10 year ago some Pearl design studio had some national park style global warming art hanging in Ozo for a bit, like, “come learn the history of snow!”
I’d love to track this down again if it exists?

Just a few more years left of skiing.
Swiss glaciers have faced significant melting this year, with a 3% drop in total volume, marking the fourth-largest annual decline on record.
Swiss glaciers shrank 3% this year, the fourth-biggest retreat on record, experts say

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
