Adding wings to my car so I pay less tax
YouTube video by Oli Frost Adding wings to my car so I pay less tax

Put wings on your car to qualify for tax-reduced aviation fuel. Sounds like a good idea, but a spoiler is a wing, an airfoil, so cars with spoilers on the back already qualify, right? www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr9M...

If you like sugar, then true.
If you like chocolate, then heretical.

I have recently started getting 5-6 messages daily about "failed delivery" of email. It looks like someone sold my email address to scammers, but got it wrong. They use @google.com instead of @gmail.com and Google bounces it. I do not know why the broken email headers, but I laugh at the scammers.

If he is bored, is this a good time to request a pardon for Sam Bankman-Fried? It would probably help pump up the value of the Trumpcoin, so he should like that.

Trump health official ousted after allegedly giving himself a fake title Steven Hatfill had a notable history before his abrupt ouster.

With all the chicanery going on under and including Kennedy, they fire this guy beause he inflated his title on his business cards? Talk about missing the point..... arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow Relive the trauma of the last five years through the cartoons of Herblock Award winner and Pulitzer nominee Tom Tomorrow.

It's all hands on deck. I am shamelessly asking, one more time, for reposts and signal boost as this bird glides toward a landing in a few hours. It's gonna be a beautiful book, and there aren't going to be very many available afterwards!

A pole with a pedestrian walk button is surrounded by potted plants that keep you 2-3 feet away from the button.

It looks like they do not want pedestrians to push the button.

I thought money was speech. Since Epstein advocated molestation of minors, that means his money does, too. Or maybe we should review that "money is speech" assertion?

Until one crosses this threshold of self-awareness, I am not sure one can be called an "adult". I used to tell my kids (at that age) that "The Internet never forgets." I hope they took that to heart.
