This time around there is no room for that playing the "Both Sides" game. That's how we wound up with a dictator in the first place.

Had to share this one. Yes, I've been on jobs where management had hired just a bunch of warm bodies and then told me to "Fix it."

This one is just such a tragic waste.

There is a greater than zero chance that COVID caused vast numbers of undiagnosed cases of the mild microvascular angiopathy that can lead to less than perfect brain function. 2019 may have been humanity's high water mark.

This has always been their method. Always.
It has always been "The Other" who are the threat that justifies oppression. The "Illegals", "Welfare Moms", the Communists, the Bootleggers, the Trade Unionists ... Ever since the Civil War the federal government has found a domestic enimy to attack.

Just now finished watching Andor S2 for 2nd time.

I keep waiting for someone to tell me "I have friends everywhere".

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Those I have met and known were sharp and focused, not people to be trifled with.

Even just as a concept that just doesn't work as an EV where CdA matters. Aside from that the lines are simply childish.

Anybody remember "Welfare Queens"?
We all have to be careful about the "It was better back then" frame of mind. Those rose-tinted memories of a time that never was are at the root of MAGA.

That's the whole point of the constant noise. Overwhelm the public sphere with so many constant and contradictory inputs and history disappears.

And you do realize that's not a Jaguar in the OP, right?

Well, maybe, but this is what they have been offering for sale. Hardly inspiring. Bonus points to anyone that can name this model w/o looking it up. I couldn't. Let's just see what happens.

I do expect to see something completely different on 12/2, something playing off the outrage they have intentionally stirred in the automotive world. Suddenly everyone is watching. Now we see if they can deliver.

I am starting to think the whole thing is a spoof just to get people tuned in to their product reveal on December 2. The only thing I have heard about Jaguar this year is that the I-Pace was cancelled. Nobody was paying attention to them, but now the whole automotive world is.

Times Radio posted a clip of an interview I did about β€œRussian escalation”. Unsurprisingly the trolls have been busy in the comments and replies. My favourite thing about this contribution is that this is the EDITED version.

It's easy to be snarky but manufacturing new vehicles is costly and time consuming. Ford was in early w/ the Lightning pickup and Mach-E, started spending billions on new factories for new models when the market totally shifted. Ford's 'skunk works' now designing smaller/cheaper EV products.

Made myself go look it up. It's a VW ID5 platform w/ altered length. Ford has been working on their own design for a similar size skateboard and various vehicles based on that. I'd rather see them working with Lucid's new efficient mid-size Atlas platform under development now and available to OEMs.
