I'm thinking along the same lines. RV

These articles are appearing more and more, so breathless, so unhinged.

You mean chopped like a hot rod, right?

Sounds like a question for Joe Young at IIHS, at least to start.

That's one ugly cat in the background, nothing personal (or nothing feline).

Daylighting an intersection before and after.

Mobility as if people mattered.

They kept referencing the Model T, but failed to mention that the Model T was quickly surpassed and Ford was left behind.

I watched the entirety of the Ford "Universal EV" presentation in Kentucky. I wish them the best of luck, but I can't help be reminded of GM's Saturn launch and eventual demise. If I were a betting man, I'd sadly bent against them.

I want you to drill down to find the one niggling problem in design -- the charge port choice, the menu level of the ACC distance settings, Bluetooth pairing -- that's going to drive me nuts.

If Epstein can't sink trump, nothing will sink Elon

I'd love to see this broken out more. I assume we're talking about the NHS as defined during Clinton, which is sort of a post-hoc category, no?

Gloucester, Mass. HS graduate just killed in a head-on crash on 128 - a limited access highway. Police put his hockey jersey number on their cruisers, #18. These deaths do cultural work.

More evidence of the free press carrying billionaire water. Bezos has the WaPo so NYT needs it's own

The most damning indictment of the California DMV in this article is the refusal to make the man in charge available to answer questions.

Am I the only one who thinks this whole Slate truck launch is a scam?

With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us' Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

The gutting of safety programs at the CDC & USDOT is beyond disheartening. As shared by @npr.org: "This is critical work that's been done at such a low cost with such a high return and a lot of it's unseen." And "There's nothing partisan about injuries."

Nothing better than the "Cybertruck is the new Edsel" headlines.

Seems like William H Macey doing a new season of Shameless

Sitting on a plane to Vegas and the flight attendants just had to walk down the aisle shilling for a JetBlue Visa card. Had me thinking about bifurcated jobs, e.g. life saving professional and fast casual dining waiter all in one.
