I often wonder if we'll be nicer towards cars that were once quite unashamedly synonymous with their creators.

Especially once Musk and other RW-ers are gone.

I genuinely quite like the older Teslas (Model S?), the Grenadier, and even some local ones...

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

Contemplating moving to Singapore.

Superb country I'm told, plus solid Tamil presence (culture, food, language -- that'll ensure I don't miss home), and Tony Hatter's finest work:

The all-new Range Rover. Nought to 62 mph quicker than you sweat*.

*doesn't apply to people who don't sweat. They get pinned. Sometimes to the seat, sometimes by the walls of the tiny little prison castle they ought to have been put inside ages ago.

No, no, it's not racist if I say it.

Love this. A bit ironic that it comes from a country that's trying its level best (mediocre) to make its mark the AI race...

After witnessing Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, the least we can do is speak plainly: Zionism is racism and it has been since its foundation.

We must be proudly anti-Zionist. That means fighting for a single democratic Palestinian state from the river to the sea, with equal rights for all.

In my experience, Local Send has been nearly perfect, especially for sending files from Android to i(Pad)OS.

A Nikon Df DSLR with a 35-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens

The Nikon Df has really made me confront my knob-and-dial fetish.

My 🧠 knows that modern dual control wheel setups are superior and my ❀️ doesn’t care.

(And I know that I can use the Df that way but the ergos are so shite. So I pretend it’s an F3 with a digital back.)

Just realised that those illuminated VW badges on the ID.7 are a cost option. People are actually choosing to make their car look like that.

😐 And so was the backlit three-pointed star on the W212 facelift's grille, if I remember correctly.

I mean it's okay if you want to look like a dick, but that you have to pay for it is a bit desperate...

Factoid: A year on from its launch & the Scimitar GTE got a useful automatic option (the well-known Borg-Warner 35 transmission), a safety steering wheel plus the β€˜novelty’ a rear wash wipe (two-speed at that)…
