I would be happy to boycott GM more than I do. Unfortunately I grew up in the 70's and 80's when they were producing ugly and unreliable gas-guzzlers with terrible build quality. As a consequence: in my mind "GM" is forever synonymous with "POS".

The image is AI generated: there is no way that front suspension works. Which make one wonder: is the MUL.E a real thing? The feature bullet points are technically possible so it probably is. One wonders at which point the AI slop was introduced.

I would pay extra to avoid being routed through a Trump branded airport.

Every Billionaire is a policy failure.

Is it really the "only way"? Perhaps we could shock Russia's economy into collapse and then offer each region an incentive: separate from Russia and hand over all nuclear weapons to receive transformative aid for building a new independent democratic nation. Oh wait... is that what you meant?

Your points don't actually say "Russia should be allowed to fall apart" but one of them makes a vague reference to a transition to federalism which, in Russia's case, might the same thing. One wonders if the West will be too busy "working" with China after they absorb Siberia and Outer Manchuria.

I will settle for making it my window manager's desktop.

Here's an idea: get a motorcycle. Some of them will go 70 miles per gallon.

Mink oil is the proper solution to dried leather. Apply it and then let the leather sit at warm (100 F) temperatures for an hour or two.

This statement is not as true today as it would have been before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Many Westerners have shifted toward: Russian culture is shit and Russian people are barbarians. "Murderous criminals at worst and lying assholes at best" is considered a safe and accurate stereotype.

I'm curious to know: Was it more or less profitable (considering work input and reward output) than traditional publishing experiences? Would you do it again? If you were to do it again what would you do differently?

My copy of "Our Long National Nightmare" by @tomtomorrow.bsky.social has arrived! It looks fantastic.
