First time I saw one of these I thought it might’ve been a Cadillac

I’ve been starting to get recordings of pilot and air traffic controllers in my Instagram feed, and it’s some seriously funny shit

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Very excited to see MCM is going to do another sex-spec car.

Automakers setting up reveal and drive events: everything, every where, all on the same week (but NEVER during an auto show when everyone might be in the same area at the same time).

I was gonna say something about price, but I forgot that a base Mustang convertible starts at $40k now…

It was the facelift ones that had the neon tail lights? I thought that was an early model thing.

Very good wheels on it. Weird that it's missing the rear wing though.

At least the T-Roc Cabrio is a thing in Europe. The only affordable-ish options for Americans now are the Miata and Mustang.

And then every convertible suddenly was a retractable hardtop for a few years?

I was thinking a few years ago that I haven't seen deer whistles in *decades*. Amazing to see them here.

And like, the system is DEFINITELY over-promised, but having seen the video, surely the driver should've been looking out the window and been like, "Oh I'm going way too fast I need to intervene"

Panel 1: Shen is standing in a complicated machine, having seemingly just appeared inside it with sparks of green electricity. His clothes billow as he yells "AAA!! WHERE AM I??"

Panel 2: A serious looking, realistically drawn scientist begins to, with furrowed brow and intense shading, seriously explain: "It is the year 2155. We brought someone from the past who has an attention span of more than 6 seconds to"

Panel 3: The scientist is suddenly very simply/cutely drawn, now having raised his phone to his face and happily looking at it.

Panel 4: Shen raises his hands in a confused gesture and frustratedly says "YOU GUYS BUILT A TIME MACHINE IN 6 SECOND INTERVALS??"

Is this the secret reason we’ll never get a Half-Life 3 or Portal 3?

The text shown on the actual demo screen NPC dialog is bad, too. It reads: β€œRight now I am simply enjoying the quiet of the day and conversing with you. My daily routine often involves a stroll through the village, perhaps a visit to the market”
