Alfa Romeo is done with screens.
The brand's head of design said in an interview that it was time to "get rid of the screens" in new cars, and that oversized displays will eventually become obsolete.

Libs love to play the media literacy card and then get absolutely oneshotted by the jingliest possible keys
HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.
I’m trying my best to be okay with the roving gangs of domestic terrorists that are e-bike kids because we do need kids being kids again but are the sheisties really necessary lol

Passing out at 8pm after putting my precious children to bed. I wake up in the middle of the night with guilt for all my blessings, self hatred for all my sins, and obsessive thought which has plagued me since childhood, but finally I find forgiveness for myself and the world. All will be saved. Now wide awake, I roll over and check x, the everything app, it opens on my fyp, and the first video is an insanely fat woman eating ribs and slapping her belly. The next video is a guy washing poop out of his own ass with his pee. The third is of a live streamer laying on his couch soaked in gasoline playing with a lighter until he self immolates and the whole chat goes “bro hell no!! 😭 why bro doing that!!” Finally, I feel myself drifting back to sleep… I am relaxed… I do not fear what waits for me in dreams…. For all hell’s creatures have been captured in the device in my pocket… God be with you
A lot of workplace culture died after Covid and never recovered. Yes, working from home is probably bad for you as a whole - but I’ve noticed in my own workplace that nobody uses the environment as a social launchpad anymore - which should be its biggest utility.
I remember in pre Covid times there were at least moments of serendipitous fun. In this post Covid era rife with economic pessimism, I get the sense that people are generally afraid to take any sort of liberties in the workplace, even if it’s something as benign as taking a long lunch.
Fridays used to have a good energy to them. Now I dread them. You can hear a pin drop in my office most Fridays. Small talk has been killed in the name of productivity. I know this isn’t all workplaces but I have a feeling I’m not alone here.
If you’re lucky enough to work somewhere that hasn’t been managed-to-death, count your blessings. Otherwise I am forced conclude that working from home is the lesser evil, even if not by much.

Remember when there was Pawn Stars, then Hardcore Pawn, then Pawnography? They should have kept going. Maybe a show about toys called Child Pawn.

The best way I've been able to explain it - Electric cars are kind of the quartz watches of cars. They did number-maxxing so well that stats don't actually impress anyone anymore when they come from an electric car.
It's like coming into an Omega dealer and saying "my Casio keeps better time than your coaxial crap". No shit, Sherlock, we all know. Not really why people are here.
I stopped caring about outright speed and acceleration once 0-60 under 5 seconds became relatively accessible. By 2003 the evo 8 could do it in like 4.5. I just need a balanced chassis and a good interior that’s really it
Electric cars are so inherently boring that you need to attach actual rockets to them so they can do a backflip just so people can find them interesting for a few seconds
sorry bud gotta get at it
Am I the only one who thinks it’s insane that we allow two stroke engine leaf blowers to operate in residential areas? Why do so many otherwise sensible people not recognize the extreme externality of that noise? On some of the most beautiful days of the year it’s practically impossible to be outside without exposure to 75-80db of droning noise.
