The Jimny is a kei car. The SX4 is the larger vehicle.

Though it is indeed, not egg shaped, being gloriously boxy(Or as boxy as modern safety laws allow) instead.

"suzuki sx4 awd with a lift kit" - at that point, get a Jimny, surely?

I recall, in an admittedly ill advised move by myself, once upon a time, throwing a short-handled pick-axe (no idea what it actually was) at a big CRT TV, and the TV just threw it back at me and didn't have even a mark on the screen.

So.. for #OldArtMonday let's go back to Feb of 1994 and find out what happened to Bobcat's Impala.

Anyone got details on the story?

Just finished my third read through of @giants-club.net's The Turning. It's still very good. If urban fantasy with furs and macro elements and perhaps a touch of contemporary commentary are up your alley, give it a shot.

A decade after it was written, I find myself pulling out the @cingraham.bsky.social's gerrymandering explanation to help people understand why California’s Prop. 50 is so important to pass.

wapo.st/3WfcjeB

This is the best explanation of gerrymandering you will ever see

By simplifying gerrymandering we see how problematic it really is.

I expect there's a lot of 'orientation' required when a big dracat starts somewhere; mostly for the other people.

Hope the new job is good, @ciraeon.bsky.social

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

So I may have just been out of the loop on this, but Nintendo released a wheelchair basketball game for Switch 2 using dual-mice controls and, I dunno, it just seems like a cool thing that more people should be aware of. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiUj...

terrible things are happening outside. poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. families are torn apart. men, women, and children are separated. children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.
