New idea: an AI bot that only interacts with other AI bots for all eternity, burning them out until their operators are forced to pull the plug or just stop bothering us with them.
First they took away owning movies and TV shows, then homes, cars, now the clothes from your closets. You will own NOTHING and be happy.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 4mo agoClothing rental services are often marketed as a more sustainable alternative to fast fashion. But fashion and logistics experts say the reality of rental subscriptions is more complicated.
Everyone is so concerned with how it looks. I'm more interested with the performance being meh. Why couldn't Ferrari make it quicker? Luce: 1,035 hp, 0-62 in 2.5, 330 miles (WLTP), $640,000 SU7 Ultra: 1,526 hp, 0-62 in 1.98, 385 miles, $73,000
Random thought: a credit towards buying an electric vehicle (even a used one) would really help Americans right about now. Shame we don’t have something like that.
I supposed Superman could carry such a thing, so long as it's not red sun radiation
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 6mo agoVance suggests Iran could have used nuclear suicide vests: “People who walk into a crowded supermarket and…blow up the vest and a couple of people get killed, that's a terrible tragedy. What happens when what's on the vest…can kill many, many tens of thousands of people?”
This sets a precedent. It's now acceptable to say this about anyone when they die, right?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoTrump: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
The one on the left looks hard to get into. The one on the right looks easy to fall out of. Sorry, Lucid, but this is all we get to see? Just show the whole car years in advance, like everyone else. That's the playbook.
I haven’t been a big PHEV guy lately, but this BMW 550e is amazing! 30 MPG average 🍃 33 EV miles 🔌 483 hp 🐎 0-60 in 3.88 🏎️ $82k as-tested 💰 But I’d buy the X5 PHEV instead
Genuinely curious. What would gas prices need to hit (and sustain) for the Ford Series to no longer be the best-selling vehicle in the United States? $6.00? Higher?
Average price for a gallon of gas rises 11 cents overnight to about $3.11 in US, AAA says
The average price for a gallon of gasoline jumped 11 cents overnight to about $3.11 in the U.S., according to motor club AAA.

For anyone wondering, cars appear to fall under Section 232, for "national emergency." SCOTUS only blocked IEEPA tariffs. So cars are still going to be expensive.
Why does the optional color palette for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe GO SO HARD?
We no longer have the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, or 22nd amendment in this country.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 8mo agoNEWS: The Trump regime has arrested Don Lemon in its latest crackdown on journalism after he reported from inside a church protest in Minnesota—despite a magistrate judge previously rejecting the case against him as unsupported by evidence.
Hey Ford, remind me where the Maverick, Bronco Sport, and Mustang Mach-E are built? Oh, and the SECOND-fastest American car in the world, the Mustang GTD, you meant "NORTH" American, right? Because that is built in Canada. Trump says we don't need it. Get rid of it!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo agoQ: When you renegotiate USMCA, how is that going to help autoworkers? TRUMP: I don't even think about USMCA. I want to see Canada and Mexico do well, but the problem is we don't need their product
EV sales for 2025 were down just 2% with the tax credit expiring, but I've calculated that sales dropped by 50% from Q3 to Q4 when the tax credit expired. China is about to put us into the second malaise era as Ford, GM, and Stellantis sit back and let them crush us. (Source: KBB)
I don't think the convicted rapist should throw boulders from his glass White House.

Her following you doesn’t prevent you from doing your job. Her car horn doesn’t prevent you from doing your job. If they do, you are soft, and bad at your job. If those things make you want to murder her, you are just a Nazi.
Luca Migo@victinibcn.bsky.social · 9mo agoMinneapolis ICE goon is getting mad after two women followed them and honked at them. He even tries to intimidate them, telling them to “not make any bad decision nor to interfere with them.” This comes after Renee Good’s horrific murder. Appalling
Non-Tesla EVs dropped by nearly 50% after the tax credit went away. That’s pretty bad, folks. carbuzz.com/ev-sales-202...
The Numbers Are In. EVs Are Dead In Under One Year
With no $7,500 incentive, EV sales plummeted.

This is better lookin than any Audi EV sold in the US, maybe besides the e-tron GT.
I'm putting together some numbers now, but it's not looking good. Republicans killed EVs.
Things that kill more birds than windmills: cars, buildings, electrical lines, house cats, the fossil fuel industry. I think we should try banning the number one killer of birds first, if we care so much. Windmills kill about 234,000 per year. Cats kill 2.4 BILLION. I guess we should BAN ALL CATS!
2022 Subaru WRX Premium: $31,605 2025 Subaru WRX Premium: $37,750 2021 Subaru WRX STI: $37,245 2021 WRX STI (Adjusted For Inflation): $46,149 2025 Subaru WRX tS: $47,705 Inflation is real, folks. Also, if you think a new STI will be under $60k, you are crazy.
Hey, so..... is there any mechanism that would stop say, mail from a predominately black ZIP code from being "processed" a few days late? Asking for my friend in 2028.
Bob Greenberger @bobgreenberger.bsky.social · 9mo agoFor those of us who pay quarterly taxes or any other payment by December 31, this unheralded change in postal policy can bite you in the butt. This could have other unforeseen consequences (e.g., mail-in balloting), but for now, this is more timely.
I know there is no “silver bullet” and even a video won’t do it anymore, but we basically got THE biggest drop on this guy and I don’t see anyone talking about it. What is happening?
Every Bite Counts@sandybeach805.bsky.social · 9mo agoThey’re scrambling. Written for a party of one.
