QOTD: What car do you want most, but know it would be an absolutely miserable experience to own? When we bought our last car, we narrowed it down to a Mazda 3 and CX-30. The former was cheaper, but getting out of it was... a challenge. I can imagine how much swearing would be directed at this. 🤣

Tragic but some sweet irony that it’s a Volvo (Volvo Group’s 2nd largest shareholder being China’s Geely) doing the ‘disassembly’.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

This might explain One News’ softly softly regurgitate what they’re fed approach to reporting events in the US.

President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

Hear ng a New Zealand news reporter call the National Guard an ‘armed civil defence unit’ is beyond ignorance. In New Zealand terms, these are Army Territorials. Sidebar - what video did he look at to describe the Australian Channel 9 reporter as being ‘caught in the crossfire’?

Good people of Bluesky please don’t ‘make’ Ghibli renditions of your pictures and photos etc unless you have Hayao Miyazaki’s consent. It’s just a small courtesy to his life’s work. Ok?

Time to raise heads above looking at internal political turmoil and extend a helping hand across a border. Red Cross, Medicins sans Frontiers etc as suits your choice. Just not USAid I guess. #Myanmar #earthquake #earthquakerelief

I’ll have a lot more to say on this, but eliminating USAID while a dozen officers were responding to the earthquake in Myanmar is so on brand for this nightmare of an administration.
