I will be that guy: most of these old designs are death traps by modern crash standards and making EV versions that are both safe and efficient would likely dissolve the retro character you’re after.
Jim Farley's BaT bid history is an amusing trove of information about the Ford CEO, including that he loves '80s Ford Sierras as much of the rest of us. Also, The Pope apparently misses his six-speed manual Fusion! The Pope can drive stick, y'all! www.theautopian.com/heres-what-f...
Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!
I prefer the rear treatment. With LEDs there are so many ways to make lighting distinctive. At their peak hidden lights anonymized styling, and that happens here a bit.
Sorry to hear it Jacob and couldn’t agree more on Cobra.
It’s fun—a macabre sort of fun—this parlor game of “Who Goes AI?” And it simplifies things—asking the question in regard to specific journalists.

As the owner of two EVs they are not wrong.
Are you supposed to bob for them?
The LC500 was the best use of this design language
An Afeela sedan by Sony/Honda, customized by Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama, that went on display in Tokyo this month.
I hope the bechromed Afeela finds a good home:
Facebook post from Darryl Moen: George Kennedy, a beloved professor, managing editor and assistant dean and my compatriot at the Missouri school of journalism for 40 years, dies today of complications of Parkinson’s disease. I will miss him.
For those who hadn’t seen: George Kennedy, a mentor and friend to generations of Mizzou journalism students, died yesterday. He was my boss at the Columbia Missourian for just a little more than a year and remains one of the most influential people in my life.
As a former journalist who once worked at a search engine and now does PR: Undermining the social contracts of information sharing benefits no one: www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...
this is completely insane: since when is it acceptable for a tech company to rewrite news outlets' headlines without their consent? especially at a time when audiences are sensitive to how stories are framed in headlines? (ie Israel/Palestine, the Trump admin, ICE)

It’s too complicated for my Sunday morning brain.
I know Scott from my prior DC career - he’s a top-rate journalist who’s done essential work over the past few years. Whatever he does next will be worth paying attention to:
Start with the facts, then add the personality. What would you tell a stranger about him if you had two minutes? If you’re going to give a eulogy, the obit can help organize your thoughts.
This F1 race is already better than the last five Monaco GPs combined.
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
All of the above are great answers, but here’s one must-watch that captures the sport perfectly (and for some reason is only available this way in the U.S.): youtu.be/-aPLOQeSHrM?...
Automatic transcription is a lifesaver because there’s too much video as it is. Using AI to turn long text into podcasts and videos sounds exhausting, similar to how the early phone companies thought people would use them to listen to sports.
Gravity Falls
Lost in Space (as noted)
Percy Jackson
Scavengers Reign (little dark/adult but amazing)
Doctor Who is a particular taste - if you start with Christoper Eccleston and look past the effects until Matt Smith shows up, the storytelling can be amazing.

The proper theme song for rebooting The Rockford Files is a banging remix from at least 10 years ago: youtu.be/9Z66G9QPOeU?...
It’s actually just using a minor fourth chord (or I-iv progression) in any slow pop song:
If you had "Charles Leclerc for Pokemon" on your Super Bowl ad bingo card, you are at a bingo hall in hell and need to find a way back to the surface.
Sure, be appalled that Phil Collins licensed "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" for an ad with singing toilets, but just think about how much Alamo memorabilia he's going to be able to buy with that money.
There are men of a certain age who will see that Guy Fieri ad and think “maybe I could pull off bleached tips.”
