The Car of Tomorrow, The Formula 1 of Today? - PH Takahashi Redefining how Formula 1 races to where drivers and fans are comparing it to Mario Kart in the interim is going to work itself out, right?

cassie is literally one of the best posters on here and more importantly a ray of light in a dogshit world, to victims and trans people. personally, she's made me feel way less alone during a very isolating and scary time in my life and country.

I recently sat down with the creator of the SNES port of Doom, and the Playstation emulator bleem! & bleemcast! This Friday the 13th at 7:00PM, rip and tear... into a 2+ hour interview with Randy Linden. Set your alarms! πŸ‘‡

Mark Carney could be doing anything right now. Canadians want so badly to trust him and to have someone reasonable in charge.
What is he doing with all that power and trust? Cutting taxes, cutting services, and putting out statements supporting a war that started with bombing a school.
Empty suit.

Port McNeil gets a pass, this time. They have a Fields there. Lake Cowichan was not so lucky.

when I was a kid I thought executives at these big companies didn't seem smart then I got to college and saw the challenges of coordinating technical teams I thought maybe I'd underestimated them then worked at EA off and on a few years met some executives and quit because I was right the first time

Injury Report

RealRacingRoots listed as day-to-day (the sniffles, I did do a covid-19 rat earlier and it was negative)

This is the story btw (this report is fine, but is being decontextualized and amplified on X). It's reserve land, the 50 year lease is expiring, the Nation has previously warned they may not renew, they are now giving 2 years notice and waiving pad fees until then

Happy international working women’s day. Women’s lives are dramatically improved when they don’t have to economically rely on men in romantic partnership.

I need the tires to turn into cottage cheese after 30 laps again, that was incredible

What would happen if we put Chuck and Quinn Hughes in the same room

oh uh that's a good question.

We got uhhh Super GT and Supercars that's pretty good. I knew Montreal clashed with Indy and assumed there was another race on similarly big

O yea we are locked into the better racing on those days for sure

It's tricky because like the nature of Formula 1 means it sometimes just won't produce a race as a story that's succinct and satisfying the whole way through. Sometimes they just fizzle like this one did (a lot of them do)

idk, Bahrain and Montreal are usually pretty good

It was a great moment when the first year they rebanned driver aids in 2008 that the first wet race was Monaco. The racing gods do have a sense of humor, but they love to play the long game.

We will be eating good with the Ι›Μƒfini RX-7 that's coming in the next Gran Turismo 7 update.

That Trans-Am Camaro is pretty cool too.

"Over 30,000 blocked!" Is something that would confuse a Victorian child.

The brainrot "it's a distraction" takes have GOT to go away. Nobody needs to distract from them because nobody is going to do anything about them. Some chud tried to kill Trump over them, which means he understands more about the current US government than the shitlibs do.

On a long enough timeline everyone does a Metal Gear bit, I guess I can't be surprised Ted landed on Otacon.
