did you know the Google AI overview for Mean Street labels one of its genres as "children's music"

I'm so glad you got to learn the whole story! It's so wild to think about what a wild west the world of safety used to be and how just a few individuals managed to push for a totally different furure

(tw for descriptions of medical trauma & car crashes)

Is Davis a "honk shoo" or a "snork mimimimi" kinda guy?

Bart won't stop removing his wound dressing so we have been forced to turn him into a flower (which matches the color of his nose)

Happy feasting!

These tasty lil hand pies use a shortcrust base and a puff pastry top; tucked in between is a saucy, savory ground beef filling that I 100% snacked on all on its own. I know it looks a little intimidating, but I promise: this dish is a banger, even if you fumble your way through it.

Welcome back to #GrandPrixGastronomy, the series where I cook my way through the #Formula1 calendar! And in honor of the #AustralianGrandPrix, we're making a local classic: Aussie meat pies.

F2 requiring a different app than the primarily advertised app for F1 (trying hard to not get well actually-ed here) is actually good because Colton Herta deserves privacy. He cannot be unfairly made a referendum on an entire racing series if none of us chronic posters can find his races.

In an era of accurate GPS tracking and driver-to-team comms, the mirror situation is a bit of a "yikes" but not the end of the world. At the very least I know ol Checo is going to be able to get out of the car and have functional use of his limbs ๐Ÿ˜ญ

It's still pretty early, but I'd say that a slow car that has a propensity to lose a mirror every now and then is a very big success for a brand-new team

Wild how the argument for denying Andretti was that the team would clearly only be able to engineer an embarrassment of an F1 car as opposed to the High Quality And Proper Engineering Prowess of the existing teams, only for us to end up with........ Aston Martin In 2026

The state of my knees is fucking insane though because we have to crawl on concrete to get to the young man and I'm doing it far too many times a day. Gotta get kneepads, not bc I do a cool sport, but bc I have cat

He's got an owie (does not look to be a terrible one) on the foot of the leg with the injury. He's really relaxing with us, though. This morning, the bandage was A Whole Situation. This evening he wasn't thrilled, but he let us take care of him without fuss bc he knew snacks and snuggles were coming

I applied Bart's bandage this morn a lil too tight so I had to loosen it but managed to do so in such a way that it allowed a very delicious wisp of gauze to peek out from the wrap, which Bart promptly yoinked off again SO we have replaced the bandage again. Much easier this time. Still sweaty work

It feels strange not kicking off the F1 season with a madcap midnight work dash for @planetf1com.bsky.social, but it feels pretty good to have my work there recognized by the National Motorsports Press Association just before the Australian GP truly kicks off.
