Look, I'm going to make Weird Car Bluesky a thing if it kills me and takes all y'all's with it.
Anyway, here's not just a Subaru Vivio, but the retro-themed Bistro version. I suspect this is the same person who also owns a Vivio T-top in my neighborhood.

Equivalent of saying, "The Watergate are just nice apartments"
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

I know plenty of great writers and journalists who are struggling who DIDN'T have affairs with people they were reporting on, were better and more qualified journos to begin with, and who didn't break ANY rules, let alone debase themselves. Where are their book deals and write-ups in Vanity Fair?

Far be it from me to slut shame anyone, but there are some basic ethics to being a ho: get consent, be open and honest with your partners, don't fuck around with people you're writing New York Times profiles of.
These are basic, well-established norms!

Really glad I canceled my Washington Post subscription when I did, and really wondering why others haven't done the same.
You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

I think everyone is missing the most important thing here, which is that it's actually worse than the Mitsubishi, being as the Rogue uses the pre-refresh Outlander's older infotainment system with a smaller screen.
This caught me off-guard: We assumed the 2026 Nissan Rogue Plug-In Hybrid would be a Mitsubishi PHEV powertrain in the Rogue body.
NOPE! It's Nissan badging on what's otherwise an Outlander ... like the very worst of British badge engineering in the 1960s. Bizarre. My article for Charged #EV.

I've now lost enough weight that even my watchbands don't fit, which means that I can't use the color-matched pink strap on this lovely Halios Seaforth IV I wore today. Luckily, this Veblenist canvas and leather strap matches nicely.

The Seattle Times is absolutely losing its shit over the election of Katie Wilson to Mayor instead of their candidate, Bruce "Cuomo Jr" Harrell, and it would be funny if the idea of the city's biggest independent paper of record defending the broken status quo wasn't so depressing.

You mean the guy whose name is on the door of the company that has been working harder than any other to fight EVs and spent years singlehandedly bankrolling Joe Manchin is MAGA? Shocked, I tell you, just shocked.
Well, not that shocked.

Ahhh...... Yeah. Not great.

There is nothing more stupid than OEMs embargoing driving impressions of a vehicle that is already on sale. If your PR teams can't coordinate with the rest of the company, that shouldn't be a journalist's problem.
I attended the 2026 Subaru Outback first-drive event in Sedona, AZ! The all-new 7th gen Outback has been redesigned from the ground up with customer and enthusiast feedback in the automaker's forefront. Tech and driving impressions embargoed still, article via OVR Magazine soon!
