Monster Raving Loony Party must be having a good day today, then

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

Congratulations to Fiat Canada for a 4,767 per cent increase in sales year over year for Q2. That's up from SIX cars to 292, thanks almost entirely to the 500e. First time for more than one sale per dealer in a VERY long time

All right, Bluesky — who here has purchased a vehicle from a defunct (or currently going defunct/at-risk) company? Got (or had) a Fisker, Lordstown or a different car from a company that's gone kaput? I want to talk to you: [email protected]

At 2pm EDT, @evanwritescars.bsky.social will be joining the @evpulse.com staff and Miss Go Electric (who is NOT on BlueSky) to discuss that new Canadian EV survey and talk with a bad Canadian accent. You're bored at work, so join us, will you? youtube.com/live/O6LV2JB...

But I can't drive anywhere with an EV! Meanwhile actual driver data (long distance = 500 km/300mi):

Love that YouTube keeps showing me an ad I've reported as inappropriate like six times

UHF in 4K is out TODAY from our good friends at Shout! Factory

Wasn't worried about the water boil advisory, but I'm out of beer and cola, and.....

Saw an ad for a laptop that automatically blurs the screen if someone is lurking behind you. For privacy. Which sounds cool except that it means the camera is always on

So many automaker media sites are turning to shit, and that's not a concern for me at all. Want specs or a basic release for the Bronco Raptor, or basically anything from GM? Fuck you, apparently

Sometimes I’m tempted to tell my students, when they ask about career security in this teetering industry, that there’s probably no better move than going all in on being “cancelled by the woke mob”

there it is!

Demptser Brothers Inc. would like to remind you that the Tesla Cybertruck does not look like a Dumpster (TM). It resembles a rectangular garbage storage bin

shooting a car with graffiti in the background is great until you have to spend half an hour making sure that there's nothing obscene in the graffiti (especially symbols and slang you don't recognize)

Anyone else still take notes on paper during meetings or calls?

got a cybertruck question for the ladies

You still mad about paper straws, guys? The Government is trying to keep the plastics out of your dicks

Seven different kinds of microplastics were found in four out of five samples of penis tissue taken from five different men as part of a study published on Wednesday.

Microplastics discovered in human penises for the first time | CNNcnn.it Scientists have found microplastics in human penises for the first time, as concerns over their proliferation and its potential health effects continue to mount.

W00t. Home Depot ran out of the battery I ordered, so they're sending me a two-pack for the same price

Replacement bbq parts arrive today! Better get out my New Balances and crew socks!

Halifax traffic hot take: The Windsor Exchange is just fine, and spending $100m to redesign it is a waste of resources. Unless that redesign is exclusively to improve active transit (which it doesn't address at all)

The new Civic hybrid is more expensive than a GLI or WRX. Even a few grand more than an AWD Corolla hybrid. GTFO, Honda, no wonder you're not the best-selling car in Canada anymore

My lithium-ion power tool battery, which I've had since 2013 and left uncharged in the garage over winter most years, has finally died. Ergo, EVs are crap that will be useless and need $40k batteries every 5 years. Am I doing that right?

How about instead of AI that just ruins everything, they make a tool that can center a car in my photo? You know, something useful

No pics 'cause it's gross, but I sliced my ring finger on the cooling fins when I put in the new window AC. It looks like I have gills on that finger, so I guess I'm gonna go try a swim?

Normally head to a coffee shop to get some work done when I'm just doom-scrolling at home. Today I'm doom-scrolling at the coffee place instead. This is great.

Took apart our window AC for a summer cleaning, but the amount of gross in there has me thinking it's time to bin it. Still works fine, but I wouldn't feel comfortable giving it away. Unless somebody has instructions on how to really clean one of these things

Taking Porter instead of Air Canada to an AJAC event because it saved the association $100. Does that make me a fiscal conservative President?

Obviously DOFO can GTFO, but the look on Trudeau's face is priceless. Too bad he didn't, you know, say anything... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ford suggests immigrants to blame for shooting at Toronto Jewish school | CBC Newswww.cbc.ca Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested Thursday immigrants to the province were responsible for shooting at a Jewish girls' elementary school in North York last weekend.

I have to sign in to CBC to tell them that one of their news photos is horrendously mislabeled? What the fuck is this shit?

Someone asked me, as a writer, if I’ve ever been brave... And I mean, I put commas in my sentences even though, I’m not really sure, where they go.
