It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

No, That Old Chrysler's Rear Bumper Didn't Demolish That New Kia - The Autopian Viral photos are going around showing a Michigan crash involving a modern Kia Rio and a 1973 Chrysler New Yorker. The Rio is completely smashed up, while the New Yorker looks almost perfectly fine. “T...

2025 Volvo EX30 Review: Not What We Wanted When the Volvo EX30 was supposed to start around $35,000, I was going to buy one. Now, here's why I'm glad I didn't.

The Toyota Corolla GR And The Power Of Ignorance - The Autopian Many years ago, I found myself at a Cars & Coffee, or Caffeine and Cars, or perhaps an Espresso and Eagle Talons. I have many adventures, so the details sometimes blur together at the edges. What’s im...

Tesla to Integrate xAI's Grok Into Optimus, Helping Bring the Robot to Life Elon Musk confirms that the Optimus robot will be powered by Grok's conversational AI for natural language processing and commands.

This seems bad, given the Mechahitler of it all www.notateslaapp.com/news/2874/te...

I don’t really care what this place is or isn’t. Alls I know is it’s been great for the business of The Onion and that both Zuck and Musk have experience cooking and/or hiding the books on their own traffic. Doesn’t really matter if there are more page views if they’re not real people.

UPDATE: a source inside X just sent me this photo from the inside of their server room as they try to disable MechaHitler. harrowing.

Why A Prediction About Freddy Mercury's Death Might Make Your Next Subaru More Expensive - The Autopian The promise of populism is that the world is secretly simple, but the reality of governing is that the world is actually unbelievably complex. Today, I’m going to talk about that complexity. Specifica...

Me on why the prophecy of a comic book, the War in Ukraine, rural Japanese voters, and the price of wheat versus the price of rice, could make your Crosstrek more expensive.

My Flaming Moe’s post yesterday made me wonder how many Simpsons episodes are part of the canon for Xennials — my list is the monorail, Mr. Plow, MLB all-stars, Michael Jackson/Lisa Simpson sax, probably a few others.

Lisa needs braces is how I understand and explain the relationship between labor and management.

Three Cars That Feel British But Aren't - The Autopian I’m going to the UK today, for the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and I’m pretty excited about it. I’m also a bit of an idiot, because I’m not asleep yet and haven’t really packed or anything like that. ...

It's so funny to watch the D establishment respond to Zohran. The idea of a D populist who can do retail politics is just breaking their brains.

Jim Spanfeller Somehow Worse At Writing Than Running A Media Company | Defector With last week’s sale of Kotaku, the project that was G/O Media is effectively dead. Its media portfolio is now something of a media one-pager: The only website it still owns is The Root, another publ...

I've been waiting for this. Here's @remas.bsky.social with a perfect response.

ICE detains Marine Corps veteran's wife who was still breastfeeding their 3-month-old Adrian Clouatre, eyes welling with tears, said that he and his wife had tried to "do the right thing" and that he felt ICE officers should have more discretion over arrests.

Now you know why they cover their faces.

This piece has more context on why getting Mystic campers out of these particular cabins was nearly impossible. Staff desperately
tried to save these girls.
