New mind-boggling car bloat pic just dropped

C/o UNC prof Alanna Coombes

It's not just that this car would crush another human being easily, it's also an issue that when parked this behemoth will obscure visibility for pedestrians and other drivers. It's dangerous even when parked!

Day 28 – a cover you like better then the original

Posted this the other day for #musiclingo but have no qualms about posting again

Jeff Bezos appears to be wearing the wrong waistcoat for his wedding. This is a dinner suit (aka a tuxedo) and thus requires a dress waistcoat, which is cut lower on the body. He's wearing a business vest, which is designed for business suits. Needs a formal waistcoat like the one on the right.

Let’s not forget the investigation into this fiasco during the felon’s first term. Schedule II drugs for anybody that wanted them, no doctor visit or prescription needed. Garland let that slide too.

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country.

He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

Two of my favorite topics — climate change and traffic calming devices — colliding, so to speak.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

The team members from Komoot (upwards of 85% of which were laid off, after the acquisition by Italian investment company Bending Spoons) got together one last time for one last adventure. A quick recap video from them: www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/05/komo...

Person drives a car to go hiking and is complaining about how difficult it is to maneuver around minor obstacles, probably only had to wait 15 seconds max for the cyclists to move, and he decides they are the worst group of people?

Cars suck, don’t blame people not in cars for that.
