Probably easiest to start with: Centrist Dad, then head to Car Nerd (or Bore, if he's left to it) and finally Posts about my industry (although I'd rather keep my specific profession out of things) Mainly skeets/ bleets about politics and cars though.

Ah-ha! You fool!

That's Trump's 5D chess!

The longer the delivery time, the later the tariffs will need to be paid, perfectly lining him up for the midterms!

Goods can't be expensive if you can't buy them!

[Just to be clear, so I get no mansplaining in the replies, this is sarcasm]

Does the official statement contain the words β€œI never expected the leopards to eat my face, when I voted…”?

One of the best features of my MGZTT260.

Also available on the lesser models I think...

I knew they were there already. I recall one episode of @motoringpodcast.com which was just Andrew screaming.

Imagine this, but in London, on smaller and more winding and congested roads.

The world is finally seeing what Ukraine deals with every single night.

The chaos caused by a few hundred drones across the entire Middle East last weekend is what a single Tuesday in Kyiv looks like.

Russia has launched tens of thousands of shaheds since this started

They’re not sending us their best people.

I didn't ask Antony this question as I wasn't too sure if this was even a paid thing Cammisa did.

To that end, I actually see it worse than a journo doing a paid feature. Jonny seemed to say "look an car" whereas Cammisa, well, as you say...

Pete Hegseth won't see your very funny jokes, but your friends who launched decapitation strikes at the leadership of a heavily armed country of 90 million in a hugely volatile region with no congressional approval, clear objective, or plan beyond dropping bombs and hoping for the best, will.

In my defence, I stole it from @parodypm.bsky.social , so the minimum possible damage was done by me sharing that.

In the movie Signs it is revealed that the aliens who invaded earth, a planet that is 70% water, where water rains from the sky and lingers in the very air itself, are allergic to water.

Something they apparently didn't consider before landing.

Anyway, Iran sure does have a lot of drones, huh?

An AI image of Richard Thingummy and Isabel Whatsit as refugees from Dubai with the text: I know this is AI slop, but wouldn’t these two argue they should stop at the first safe country they come to?

Because as of late I’ve had people mansplain posts to me because they don’t get nuance, even though I’ve stated in that post I’ve used sarcasm:
- This is a commentary that we’ve been here countless times before
- All we (luckily) tend to see in the UK is the fuel price increase, rather than death

Ah. Fair enough. My social media experience these days is limited to BlueSky, because it seems the least mad, but all I saw was frothing over the Late Brake Show vid.

β€œMoved to Dubai for tax shelter and now I’m in a bomb shelter,” says someone quoted in the FT.

Yeah, if it helps stop the world burning, I can cope with an EV running off sunshine.

Actually far easier to drive the EV, because of the lack of NVH.

Baffled me at the time.
For contrast, do you remember when Jonny Smith did the β€œcontains paid content” (or words to that effect) vid about the Jaecoo 7, with JayEmm(?) doing the vid about how he’d not done the vid?
The Jaecoo is as offensive as β€œcan I have 5m of SUV, please”.
People went mad.

Toss it in with his incredibly poorly judged Incel Camino vid then?
