Trump: “War is pretty much over”

Iran: “lol no”

It’s a lovely script. A theatre company I was on the board for produced it a few years ago (yes, during COVID with VERY small, masked audiences). I’d love to see Radcliffe in it.

It looks like EV resale prices are already climbing in response to the current oil prices

He looks much better with his eyes closed. Would that they'd stay that way forever.

Trump: "I'd say we just about done here."

Iran: "Lol no"

We already have numerous countries who understand this and have made it their national priority to migrate to renewables and electrification as quickly as possible.

Trump is definitely pushing them there, so why not?

Absolutely. As a Canadian I'm appalled that this happened, regardless of my feelings about the current administration.

Adore it, and I've probably re-watched it more than any other movie. First saw it as a teen and even then I enjoyed it WAY more than I expected to. People who haven't seen it have no idea how ENTERTAINING it is.

It's going to be big, and it's going to get a lot of attention. If OpenAI is smart they'll find a way to settle before it gets to a courtroom. This is an incident that could turn a LOT of people off of AI in general.

It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.

A++++++ question there

My weird #EV take with skyrocketing gas prices: PHEV drivers are going to get used to plugging in now. And they won’t stop.

Toyota is great and they build the best hybrids.

It felt like the Coen Bros adapting a good Stephen King short story

We are nowhere NEAR autonomy for road vehicles. We will have autonomous passenger drones before we have autonomous cars.

Isn't this why we have presidential elections? So, someone so clearly ignorant and unqualified could never be President.

WTF America?!! Was Kamala's laugh really THAT awful?

EVs don’t have £1500 gearboxes

This is gonna be the first big AI lawsuit. As soon as I heard the CEO was going to personally apologize I could smell this coming.

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

Great quotes in military history.

I’d take any of them but the Jag. I’ve got a weird, perverse thing for the Allante

Trump: “Okay, I think Iran has learned their lesson…”

Iran: “Lol you think we’re done here?”

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them.

Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does.

We’ve become accepting of pure lies

Average Ukrainian reaction to panic about WW3 in the west

Parents aren’t supposed to be friends with their kids

@covie93.bsky.social

These people are fucking EXHAUSTING

Another rec: The Thin Man (1934) has some of the wittiest dialogue and some brilliant comic timing.

The one caveat being that there is a LOT of alcohol, if one is sensitive to that.
