People need to understand that at the end of the Indy race David Malukas accepted some brisket from the sponsor, Good Ranchers. He popped it in his mouth and for the next 3m30 he chewed on it, attempting to wash it down with champagne. The broadcast ended before he could make himself swallow it.

the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches

Begging more folks to read Dorohedoro, one of the absolute greatest manga of this century. It filled a corner of my soul I didn't even know was empty.

Enforcing the 107% rule would be farcical given how bad these cars are. How did these engine regs get approved? This is terrible to watch.

F1 this year is garbage. The cars are *downshifting* on straights. They have lost the plot.

Today was the first day in as long as I can remember (except for the day where iOS had some kind of date / ISO format bug with the date, many many years ago) where I straight up slept through my alarm. The thing that makes a loud noise and gets louder the longer you ignore it. Weird.

Simultaneously providing every other nation an incentive to develop nuclear weapons and an incentive to ensure nobody is aware that you are doing so until they are functional does not feel like an overall enhancement of stability

I think Lawrence Stroll might be stupid, actually.

My mind has not stopped boggling since Aston split with Mercedes for the power unit. It will probably not stop boggling for the rest of this year.

Newey confirms Aston Martin is likely to limit race laps due to severity of vibrations in the car impacting the drivers.

Alonso says he can do no more than 25 consecutive laps before risking nerve damage, Stroll says 15 laps #F1 #AustralianGP

Are you F1-curious? You're in luck!

I've been doing an F1 podcast geared toward beginners since 2014 with @dannyodwyer.bsky.social and @robzacny.bsky.social, and we just posted our annual introductory episode that explains everything!

The first race of the season is THIS WEEKEND. Buckle up!

Called the dealer, β€œthe heck did you do, car is saying it’s unlicensed?”
Took it back, they plugged it in, and set it back to how it was.
Still no idea how they screwed this up during a service but sad to see how much functionality was locked behind software enablement.

Slightly tangential but I remember the time I took a VW Golf to the dealer for its service. They managed to do something screwy with the computer, and as i was driving it home, realised several onboard functions were disabled (music, cruise control). 1/2

I think a big positive for today was seeing Physics Girl making a new video after 3 (?) years. So happy to see she's looking a lot better after her horrible time with long covid.

only the greens can stop reform, a vote for labour is utterly wasted right now, they are collapsing everywhere

It's a shame that @DarioAmodei is a liar and has a God-complex. He wants nothing more than to try to personally control the US Military and is ok putting our nation's safety at risk.
The @DeptofWar will ALWAYS adhere to the law but not bend to whims of any one for-profit tech company.

UK politics are insane because what do you mean a party called β€œmonster raving loony party” is real and got 159 votes total

Dear Lucy
On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a
Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour
by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist.
This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party
in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public?
In your last letter to me you mentioned your β€˜very extensive data’ and β€˜having spoken to over a third of
eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election β€˜was a contest between labour and
Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of
political deception (or in Urdu β€œDhoka” ) to win.
You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the
Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real
prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want.
As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to
apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.”
Kind regards,
Zack Polanski
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...
