'Not pleasant at all' - what an F1 driver sees trackside in testing Even years of experience watching F1 cars trackside pales drastically in comparison to the expertise a driver can offer. So we enlisted the help of Jack Doohan

Doohan is really articulate at this type of analysis, which all current F1 drivers probably are but they don’t really get an outlet for. I loved this piece from Bahrain testing, you get to see how the mind works www.the-race.com/formula-1/f1...

if more people were watching Drops of God rn we could have an international cultural moment savoring how cool this show is and how cool Daï is

get a girl who looks at you the way Noa looks at Alphonse

and if it is, that’s like, The way that particular person interacts with the world. They’re an ‘everything is politics’ person for maps

Most Americans would probably get Minnesota and Missouri wrong on a map. Who cares

This is just a factor of being a huge country. It would be like expecting someone in Guangzhou tell Belgium and Denmark apart on a map. When does it even come up they have other things going on

Drop something red ✨❤️

They didn’t warn all US embassies in the area about the war and didn’t have a plan for defending Strait of Hormuz traffic so not having a plan for Shaheds is not a surprise

I like that if you scroll down a bit google is like “uh, but like, just in case”

BMW has a clear opportunity to return the Cooper name to the F1 grid

Is this largely a scale thing? Like listening to players, of course, absolutely good until a critical mass gradient or something where ersatz community consensus forms and it ceases to be helpful

Or is it just ‘listen to their problems, not their solutions’

I’m sure there are other contributing factors but discoverability seems not just bad, but weird and weirdly volatile these days. Every Internet problem is a volume knob problem

now everyone (gamers that like to pay attention) has a frequent experience of discovering an anticipated game of theirs had already come out without fanfare, or “HOW haven’t I heard about this [thing that appeals to me & my friends hyperspecifically]” moments

This accrues into the impression

how games are released has a role

For a long time games had release schedules in magazines or listed at a GameStop etc. you could have a casual mental map of March Releases or whatever. Now there’s a constant new game monsoon, less tentpoles to mark time, and less diminished coverage

Of course. It’s a great song

I saw Hamnet. Michelle Obama is on him

I’ve had a lot of people ask me what pen is best for learning lettering or calligraphy or whatever. The answer is always something akin to 7, preferably stolen. The strokes of a cheap ballpoint always contains more information

Nightcrawler is a fizzy, inspiring ode to American entrepreneurship! It’s basically Tucker: A Man and His Dream for The Local TV Age

painted a GQ Zaku. Never painted a model before. It was nice. I’m probably gonna do it again.

there are just so many types of guys on there that are completely inscrutable and people think it is normal. people should not act like it is normal

We used to have rockstar recovery. Now we have no rock, no stars, and no recovery

god can you imagine the absolute fucking euphoria that guy felt when the third Fox 2 slid off the rail

wiped $100M out of the great blue yonder in what is simultaneously the greatest triumph and greatest shame of your entire life

you may never feel any sequence of moments so pure
