Every summer open-air festival or art show I go to now has a bunch of these in attendance.
20,000 leagues *under* the sea?!? In *this* economy?

::sigh:: I didn’t think it would come to this, but now we need coachbuilders & tuners like Carlsson, Lorinser, Carat Duchatelet, Binz, Trasco-Bremen, & Brabus to produce drastically toned-down grilles for factory models that won’t blind dozens of other drivers when the sun is out.
Saw some Very Wholesome cars over the weekend. The fact that someone keeps a white Pontiac Parisienne in this condition is... I am struggling to name the millennial version of this phenomenon. It wouldn't be a Neon b/c that's slightly more of a Gen-X normcore mobile. Elder Xennial at most.
From now on my eyes can only process “Al Pacino” as like Artificial Intelligence Pacino.
Amazing how much good publicity Ford bought itself with that $1.95 cookie snafu. One has to, like, step back in awe of the dedication & time that they (apparently) have for such things. Somehow also very on-brand in a 1920-30s kind of way.
Summer of 2026 is officially Garbage Truck Water summer.
Whichever politician promises to end Grainger ads on Youtube has my vote in the midterms.

Had a dream last night that there was a sequel to The Matrix like two decades later & Doogie Howser, MD was in it.
Thinking back to the day the MittBot3000 campaign produced this & many people just sighed & went “Welp, he’s not wrong I guess.”
::lifts phone:: Hello, Chevy? Do you build or sell here any new seda… ::extremely loud incorrect buzzer::
So, like, BMW execs that signed off on this have never seen the Twitter “X” logo, is that why this happened? “Ja, das ist in Ordnung…”
Discovered the Forbidden Camera aisle at Staples. They keep these bad boys locked up.
Have now seen two different 1990s RHD Land Cruisers on successive days just around town. It feels like the 25-year rule is starting to go mainstream a bit. (Jinxes it).
