My job is car. Former editor at Autoblog and Edmunds, current writer for many car sites. I also like Star Trek and the Toronto Blue Jays, so that’ll get sprinkled in here, too. Proudly πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

So that was you who pulled up next to me in my Optiq on Agoura Rd!

We are trending in that direction certainly … and SNW very explicitly backed that theory too

First time seeing by byline in print in over 20 years. It’s a treat. Very much enjoying the rest of this issue of @auto-express.bsky.social

Torque steer: the influence of engine torque on the steering, especially in high power front-wheel-drive vehicles.

Hard disagree.

We've got double Shulman action in the #BlueJays radio booth right now. Delightful.

Hazel’s saying it right.

Mad respect for Alysa Liu. Girl wins a gold medal and seems more intent on celebrating the Bronze medalist.

When can we be done with stupid, punchable YouTube face thumbnails?

I’m at a hotel bar in Texas and curling is on. The world, or perhaps just the continent, has been turned upside down.

And how about the real embroidered Jays logo coming back!

Driven: Toyota’s new electric estate is fun and practical | Auto Express The new Toyota bZ4X stands out thanks to its estate-like styling and impressive practicality

It was a delightful challenge to write this bZ β€œTouring” first drive for @auto-express.bsky.social in the UK. Had to immerse myself in a whole different EV world where the Skoda Enyaq vRS and VW ID7 Tourer are things. Had to switch my car vocab to Britain, too www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/bz4x/...

Not to give Juan Guzman some love?

Great Britain’s bobsled needs to be British Racing Green. Just saying.

I see.

Good to know what at least one editor at the Cleveland Plain Dealer considers to be "journalism".

This is great. Love BTS stuff. Thanks for putting it together and making a point to post it here

Ambassador Bridge Podcast Episode Β· 99% Invisible Β· 08/26/2025 Β· 40m

This proved to be a prescient episode from last summer. Want to know what the deal is with the Ambassador Bridge (and its a doozy), listen to this. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/9...

@sportslogos.net Looking at the Dylan Cease pics from Florida today, it seems the Jays uniforms once again have the proper embroidered logo on the front instead of the lame, replica-spec flat version.

It seems like a safe bet that that’s a much better view than anyone covering the Cactus League gets.

I was enjoying watching women’s downhill skiing more than the Super Bowl. By a considerable margin.

Brandi Carlisle kicks Charlie Puth’s ass, and as a result, America the Beautiful is now the national anthem. Congratulations Brandi. Suck it Francis Scott Key.

Oh man, the faux vest. What a travesty that was. The real vests, however, money. I remember watching Boomer Wells warm up in the bullpen with only the vest, no undershirt, which was the most David Wells look possible.

Kudos to the sculptor who figures out how to levitate Bautista's bat and Joe Carter's, well, all of Joe Carter.

Let me know if you want any tips. I’ve done a couple trips up there and have family in Edinburgh.

Rent a car! And one with a manual. Explore the Highlands. It’s the best.

I’m not sure anyone has ever loved Cleveland as much as Jose Ramirez.
