Mine was originally thrust on me as the only option at the dealership where my previous Kia was diagnosed as terminal- and I've grown to adore it. A just zippy enough lovable doofus of an automobile.

Story doesn't say, but I'm assuming this is a tariff casualty. Maybe once we get out of this hell world in a few years they can bring it back as an EV www.jalopnik.com/1988501/rip-...

I know Pete's not really the poster child for good decision making, but he really should have Fuck You money so that he can specifically not do shit like this?

Fuckin yikes, man

Some comics were transparent about their willingness to ignore their moral convictions in order to play at the festival. “So what, they have slaves?” asked Tim Dillon in a podcast segment that led to his firing from the festival. “They’re paying me enough money to look the other way.” Pete Davidson offered a similar take, acknowledging in a chat with Von that people have asked him why, given his father’s death on 9/11, he would take a paycheck from the Saudi government. He did not address the criticism directly, but he did suggest he was happy to forget 9/11 for the right price: “I just know I get the routing, and then I see the number, and I go, ‘I’ll go.’”

Not that it excuses this at all, but unless things have changed since I left (and given the overall situation, if it has it likely didn't get better) WSU's public records office is like 1.5 FTE. (and NextRequest is awful)

WSU’s receivers just utterly betrayed their QB on back to back plays.

Does Eckhaus practice left handed handed or something? How did this guy not win the job in camp?

B. David @b-david.bsky.social · 19d

Holy shit. Had no idea. I grew up here and moved back about 5 years ago.

Play the only competent QB was a decent adjustment

Like I'm middle class white guy who will probably be fine whatever happens. I just don't think it's our place to be in the "don't overreact" business- especially when the audience for that message isn't going to listen because their initial opinion already sorted them into the idiot list.

I get pushing back on the most nonsense doomers, but this seems awfully pedantic given that people are dying now and will keep drying over the next several years. This post feels like it's coming from somebody too comfortable and safe relative to the folks that aren't.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

can't speak as a parent, but as an adult who wasn't diagnosed until his late 40s and has had his life significantly improved by medication (and now can see so many ways ADHD negatively impacted me from early teens forward, and all those qualities would have applied to me), I vote early and often.

There's many things that are frustrating about NCAA 26, and most can likely be attributed to having to make hard choices with limited resources and time- but none of that explains why the generated player pictures all look like dudes in their mid 30s.
