No kidding.

Screenshot of LinkedIn post from Yellowknife Mayor describing the costs and consequences of trucks having gotten so much bigger. In the link, he explains the backlash he received for his post.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.

Narm-sain?

Our children and their friends used this frequently.

1) The term "begs the question" is universally misused. The correct usage is a bit unusual, so most people are better-off avoiding it entirely.

2) The verb to be "sat" is now commonplace, even amongst professional speakers like sporting commentators. As in "The Maclaren is sat behind the Ferrari."

People are often proud of their children, but I've yet to meet someone say they're perfect. I'd back carefully away from anyone seriously making this assertion.

The surface of the ocean on fire due to an oil or gas leak.

Wind turbines can sometimes get a bit fiery. It's a very minor issue in the scheme of things. Unlike these, for example...

More useless landfill...

"caddy"?

I'm old enough to remember a time when the FBI was there to PREVENT crime, not to undertake it.

Drivers don't follow any rules at all. This is readily observable. The only thing that works to control their behaviour is engineering. Concreate and steel. That's it. That's all that will stop them putting their fucking cars where ever they want at any speed they want. Everything else fails.

Ass seasoning? That's something that I can get behind!

It still feels way too cheap.

I think she's trying to say that a set that has no english-language songs shouldn't be allowed.

She'd hand Alberta to Trump in a heartbeat for a seat at the table.

Kind of tuned it out and actually got to the end. I'll not be listening to it again any time soon!

OK, I'm into part 2 but not sure I'll outlast this.

OK, nearly at the end of Pt1. Not hating it at all. The Pitchfork review is worth a read. Not a record I'll be revisiting often, nevertheless.

"perhaps bringing to mind a grainy video image of seagulls circling over an open sea filled with radioactive garbage"

This is from the MMM Pitchfork review! The reviewer and I have some synergy.

OK, 6 minutes into Part 1. I feel like I'm at a modern arts museum, sitting on a padded bench in a dark room watching one of those AV shows that's displaying at grainy, weird photos.

I'll give it another try. My buddy played it for me nearly 50 years ago when it was new. We shook our heads, simply not understanding. That's the last time I've heard it.

Drivers everywhere: "I only text and watch videos (and break every other road rule) while driving when it's safe to do so. I'm an excellent driver, so I can easily manage this. It's only the other drivers who are dangerous."

But what if the video is really, really funny?

That simply isn't true. Not listening to it at all is the perfect amount of listening with respect to MMM.

Hell yeah. There's no fucking way I'm ever going to Shetland.

Sometimes I wonder if technical/downhill mountain biking is the dumbest sport of all. Whilst I do ride forest trails and gravel roads, I avoid (or walk) technical challenges for all the reasons you have exemplified.

The US trajectory towards true slavery continues unabated.

She'd sell Alberta to Trump in a heartbeat.

No you don't. The distracted pedestrian is a myth.

The queues are 10 blocks long for the 100% Spelt Sourdough.
