I'm sort of done with social media.

This is not another push to promote my newsletter.

After Twitter I honestly don't have the energy to start over.

When this place goes down, I'll go down with it.

I didn't! Just used Rob as an example.

I am 🤘😝

How epic of a beard can you grow, bud?

And if the answer is none, we always need a baby face in the band for contrast, so don't feel that bad just yet.

He can Metal God the hell out of it 🤘

You can always say "in a track" 😝

I'd say Rory's the full package. Epic hair + epic beard.

I have only epic hair.

You can have only epic beard.

We'd be a kick-ass trio.

Break a leg, a Matt! 🔥

My disaster avoiding advice: Use indirect links where you can!

After the year you call me and we start a band.

No idea how good the music will be, but definitely some lookers in the hair department 😂

You misspelled SICK.

SICK HAIR.

Makes me think of the Bee Gees.

Staying alive? 😂

Not a bad take at all!

I probably love 3rd because I'm a chronic low revver (?) but I see your point 🔥

2nd to 3rd upshift be like

QOTD for stick drivers: what's your favourite gear and why?

It's a difficult question.

Feel free to ignore my opinion since I'm not "a successful artist" in the sense I don't do it for a living.

The way I "battle" against AI as an artist is by raising awareness, not using it and thinking "if you think AI is good enough I'm happy not doing artwork for you".

So true.

I can't even speak as nice as (I think) I write.

Also much less mentally exhausting personally.

Speaking is ok.

Writing is better.

And thinking is the best.

Which AI people seem not to like.

When I ask someone something and they answer "I asked chat gpt and..." I ASKED YOU, DAMNIT! 😂

So true though. I like 3rd because I have 225 hp but when I had 90, 3rd was just "smaller 4th which was smaller 5th" 😂

So, waffle girl is transitioning (lol) out of the CEO role here at Bluesky, and a white venture capitalist dude from Silicon Valley will replace her temporarily until they find a new CEO.

She was not great. But at least she was not another rich white dude.

I'll stay until shit hits the fan.

more from EASY cars n coffee that morning - this Elan was perfect

And the only way to get better at all this, is to know what can be improved.

I would LOVE to read what you think. Really. Even if you think it's crap and tell me WHY you think that, it helps and I can make it better so you like it more next time.

And if you think it's amazing, tell me so I 😎

Your soundtrack: BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Closer? 😂

You of course, do you, but I think these people are just assholes fishing for that reaction.

Not doing anything is probably the best.

Or bending a pipe via his skull, but the first option at least leaves you out of jail, where I hope you can stay 😝

Many say Dutch is not a real language, and I disagree, since I'm learning it and it exists, but come on 😂

Your soundtrack: WeeEEeEEeEEeeeEEEeEeeeeEEEEeEEEeee

100%!

In my car it helps that the very 90s turbo lag is present, so it's an absolute hoot to floor it in 3rd gear, not knowing when you'll get a response, and when you do, it's "oh boy" smile time.

I'm this 🤏 close to doing a 3rd gear love t-shirt for our little 3rd gear loving club.

Go 3rd! 🔥

Ugh, I'm sorry you had to go through that, Renée.

Too bad I wanted to go to Idiotville and that idiot was gatekeeping it with his entire idiot being.

3rd is so good! It starts chill and can get so spicy 🌶️

YES!

Literally what you describe is my experience with the TT.

And the turbo lag just adds to the excitement 🐌

You never know when your back is going way more back 😂
