The duality of the Forza online experience is so funny. I legitimately wanted to commit Kurt Cobain over The Trail. But then I had the time of my life in the Touge Showdown, bonding with a total stranger over how awful classic Mustangs are at it. 💀😅

My coffee shop collapsed, which sucks. But my new work occasionally has me schmoozing in bougie lounges in Ferndale, sipping espresso martinis. Which is totally the same thing, right??? (No, this post isn't excessive levels of cope. Why do you ask?)

A fucking cricket got in the house and ITS SO LOUD. Unfortunately, it's in the plants; so I can't see it to get it and it has a basically endless food supply. I might actually napalm the place.

Dani Brown @aspectreofsorts.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Bottas and Checo isn't a sexy driver line-up – far from, in fact. There's a very credible argument that there are better drivers floating around. However, this is an experienced pairing that I think is perfect for a fledging works team with grander ambitions. I think this was a good signing.

Just gave this a go with a strong cold brew versus espresso -- thinking about ease and speed of preparation going forward. Unfortunately it doesn't it doesn't quite hit the same. Need to figure out why, but I suspect it's the store-brand cola actually being sweeter than actual Coke.

First thing I see upon arriving in Grand Rapids is a half-wrapped 86 in the shittest pink imaginable and a clapped E90 335i. 😭 I wanna go back to Detroit. 💀

Bubba's win at IMS hits so fucking hard today. "He only won 'Dega because of rain, he only won Kansas because he was in Kurt's car." 🙄 He won today on pure pace and beat Larson in a straight fight. And the fact that he did this at a Crown Jewel race is just the cherry on top. 🤘🏾

Jesus Christ, that Grateful Dead scheme is just color vomit. It reminds me a lot of the Money Team Daytona 500 livery from a few years back...except somehow worse. 🤢

Watching Batman: Beyond for the first time since I was a kid. I forgot how rad this series was. But, tbh, all of the DC animated stuff from this era were bangers.

I still can't help but feel that Alex not running the Pride DHL scheme this year, but getting an OpenAI scheme is an extremely fitting allegory for 2025 as a whole so far.

Not massively surprised by the 10s penalty. That was...a lot.

So that's how you faze the fuck out of Verstappen, but Piastri is almost certainly in trouble for that.

Genuinely a bummer that Forza is as close as we'll get to the DHL Pride scheme on the Palou's car in 2025 – and probably for the foreseeable future.

Saw a reel from NASCAR about Connor winning with Jr. as his crew chief. It occurred to me that through my *many* outs with NASCAR, Jr. has always kept me anchored to it, to some degree. And I cry a bit upon the realization that despite feeling like NASCAR hates me right now, I do still love it. 💔

It was too hard to just pick one here; I have a thing for spicy hatches. It was a three-way tie between the 7.5 GTI, FD2 Civic Type R and Mk2 Focus RS.

Dani Brown @aspectreofsorts.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Another Pride gala in the books! Honestly, the "Opulence in Orange" theme was a miss for me IMO, but still a great time and the 'fit came out alright.

In light of Kyle Larson and Max Verstappen both being ginormous assholes: my "best driver in the world" is Alex Palou.

Super bummed out seeing Lewis take an AI sponsor. He's advocated for the arts, the environment (to the point of him and his dog being vegan!), as well as just basic privacy. And then he takes money from an industry that's the literal antithesis of all these things.

Dani Brown @aspectreofsorts.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Watching the 2014 RoboCop reboot for the first time. I know the movie got absolutely shit on in-period. That said: given that in the last decade, Duggan has all but turned Detroit into a corpo surveillance state, the movie has aged scarily well.
