Here for cars, BattleTech, Star Trek memes, SFF books, Lego, hot legal takes, and, let's be honest, some good old-fashioned doomscrolling.
First up, the Shadow Cat. In 1995, I got TRO: 3058 for my birthday, and this was my favorite ‘Mech in the book. I loved the Gauss rifle arm, protruding cockpit, and Timber Wolf-style reverse legs with offset knees. This one is in Diamond Shark Alpha Galaxy colors. #BattleTech #Lego #MechWarrior

In 2021, I started playing around with small (3-5”) #Lego #BattleTech designs in BrickLink Studio. After 4 years and a number of hours I don’t really want to think about, I have a decent digital stable. Now that I’m starting to order pieces and build them, I'll start sharing them here, too.

Ruth Buscombe Divey casually throwing a "ladies and gentlemen, a short view back to the past" into the FP1 broadcast may be the best thing to come out of the #F1 Miami GP.

Looking up articles about the 4th-gen Legacy and I found this Subaru press site: www.subaru.co.jp/en/news/arch...
My favorite line: "The sharp, bold design of the headlamps reveals the image of the sharp eyes of a falcon, which ultimately represents individuality."
Also bonus Engrish.

The only article that any newspaper should be writing about the potential annexation of Canada is "Annexing Canada would be a war crime on the scale of Hitler invading Poland, which would be the duty of every American to resist"

I can always count on SE Portland for great car spotting, and this morning's coffee and pastry run absolutely delivered with these cars all parked on the same block. Apparently they sold a few hundred Think Cities in the US. #weirdcarbs #carspotting

Nice.
Also, these are some of my favorite breakfast tacos, always worth visiting when in Portland.

Once again, the absolutely stupidest possible way to run the most important economy on the planet.
Republicans are preparing to scrap House Speaker Mike Johnson’s bipartisan plan to avert a government shutdown, as Elon Musk joined conservative rebels to raise concerns about excess spending after Johnson cut a deal with Democrats in a bid to keep the government open.
Under pressure from Elon Musk, House GOP prepares to scrap spending bill
Unless Congress acts, a shutdown deadline looms just past midnight Saturday.

Blackwings are cool, but seeing this ETC reminded me that today's Cadillac is missing out on the massive demand for FWD transverse V8 coupes with four speed slushboxes.

I've got to have a first post sometime, might as well be in #weirdcarbs. I saw this M100 Elan three years ago in Portland, parked in front of what seems to be an EV specialist shop.
