The thing is, China has so much economic might at the moment. I don't know how willing they are to jeopardize that, especially as they're beginning a second wave of expansions.

How much more money will it cost to get out of it?

Straight people have the weirdest problems

Maybe, maybe not.

The wild card is whether Russia launches its full-scale invasion of Western Europe before or after 2028.

Nicht Houston!

One of the only times I'll ever post porn on my main

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

A Saturn electronics store in München

Saturn, you say?

Yup, they're old. And probably all have been crushed.

You know, the worst part is knowing these are built to US crash standards.

It has windows! Big, beautiful sheets of glass!

A Hyundai Staria taxi in Munich

We could have had nice things

Imagine telling your 10-year-old self that one day, Porsche will seriously consider abandoning its position as the ultimate sports car to Hyundai.

There is 100% a sucker who would pay more than $600 in scrap. This seller sounds like a tool.

Or it'll be airlifted into a penthouse living room. Which is worse, I don't know.

It was "fun" reading the comments from the Neanderthals at Car & Driver wondering about why on earth Toyota was making the Highlander an EV.

There is a heavy element of cosplay to this, of course, considering that the entire brand campaign consists of the idea that the Defender has gotten "soft" and this is the only "real" SUV left.

The INEOS Grenadier is basically a Tesla, but even shittier, which I suppose qualifies as an achievement in its own right.

Here's to James van der Beek, my favorite trophy on Kesha's wall:

J Street head says he’s now convinced Israel committing genocide in Gaza Jeremy Ben-Ami explains he has been 'persuaded rationally' by legal and scholarly arguments, stresses that though he won't use term himself, he won't argue against it either

When we talk about anti-Semitism online, it's exactly things like conflating J Street with AIPAC because "they're all Jews."

A tweet from Reuters reporter Idrees Ali that says: Airline sources told Reuters the grounding of flights in El Paso was believed to be tied to the Pentagon's use of counterdrone technology to address Mexican drug cartels' use of drones of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Reuters is reporting the El Paso NOTAM is because DOD is apparently targeting Mexican drug cartel drones, which feels just dumb enough to be true

I don't know, I think frunks are pretty useless, especially if it's got the kind of concealed deep storage in the cargo bay that our Lyriq has. We almost never used the frunk in the Mach-e.

This vehicle is also going to be sold in Europe and Australia, so.

You mean, perfect, because it allows for charging in parallel parking spots.

Not sure. I was connecting so was only just going from one gate to another

Just think: somewhere is an alternate timeline where the Obama Administration agreed to sell Jeep and Ram to Hyundai.

Not sure, but it's definitely the most French.

A black Mido x Hodinkee Ocean Star GMT watch on my wrist

A couple months ago, I switched up my main travel watch to this limited edition Mido x Hodinkee Ocean Star GMT that I probably overpaid for on eBay, and you know what? I don't regret it in the slightest. Mido is the best value in GMTs going.

Outdoor furniture indoors. Viva la France!

They also have installed the same outdoor chairs found in the Jardin des Tuileries, which might be the most comfortable seating here
