Subaru, and then everyone else, decided to enable those safety features on all their cars (since the hardware was already there on all of them), and the whole industry is better now.

Consumer Reports didn't worry about whether a previous "golden child" would get dinged for a good rule.

This reminds me of how Consumer Reports added a rule that was something like, "All models from a manufacturer should have the same base safety features", & wound up dropping all Subarus (historically the leaders) from their "most reliable" list because the lowest end cars didn't have those features.

Thanks for the recommendation! I used read more dystopian novels, but <waves his hands around> with all this going on, I'm having trouble getting through "the future is fucked" stories...

Maybe after the next Presidential election I can get back to them...

How much is Alderton, or her publisher, paying for this spam? Clearly, they are not getting their money's worth.

I wonder what stage of enshittification this is...

I'm sure Dolly Alderton is a perfectly good and nice author, but "A heartbroken man tries to solve the puzzle of his failed relationship while navigating adulthood and friendship," is the description of a book I, personally, would never, ever, ever read.

Hell yeah.

Mark, normally I like your takes, but this gives huge “I’m a billionaire & can’t even conceive of the possibility of needing lifesaving care I can’t afford.”

Talk to just 1 or 2 ppl who make 5 digit salaries. They need a system that makes health care affordable, and we can’t get there from here.

Like passwords, I keep different fake birthdays on different sites, and track them in the same password manager.

No thanks.

Geez…. 🙄

Was there a single time that Pelosi went on TV and slipped in a “gotta hand it to him” about a GOP leader?

Jeffries needs lessons, out he needs to step down.

If Trump gathered up all of the children of Senate Republicans to be gang raped, the GOP Senators wouldn’t speak up, much less push back.

Any expectation to find a backbone in invertebrates is foolish.

“I mean, not on THIS Earth,” he continued, “but it’s definitely higher in the Blue States in my imagination!”

Hey, what’s the climate like on your planet?

Alonso's hitting would be very hard to replace, and maybe he's the 2nd defensive liability the Mets can afford (since Soto is anchored in). But that means Baty and Vientos should be fighting for a DH spot, and Nimmo and McNeil need to find a way to get better.

Or this team is going nowhere. Again.
