This is horrific. But not surprising. The only thing that's surprising to me is that it's not pay-per-view.

Seriously, I can't stop laughing "George Russell 40 place grid penalty" 😆 🤣

I mean... look at it? That's two lanes each direction, plus center/yellow/divider, plus turning lanes. How are we surprised that if you make it quack like a highway, people assume it's a highway, rather than a road? Especially when you, and here's the kicker, CALL IT A HIGHWAY.

I was never able to settle down. Columbia House was always out there, hunting me, hunting what I owed.

As someone who has recently gone from gas (a v8 truck, no less) to an EV, beverage is great, but utilization, ie, charging infrastructure, is beyond lacking. I have more thoughts on this, but they need organizing first.

In seven weeks, I will run a team for ExtraLife (Benefiting the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario) for the fifteenth year. If you can spare a couple bucks in donations if you are in the Ottawa/Eastern Ontario region, it helps a lot! dd.extra-life.org/participants...

It appears my new tattoo order is: - godzilla (either reflected in the lens of a 35mm camera, or in prints in front of a 35mm camera) - the black rabbit of Inle - Robotech/ mospeada bike Dammit. I gotta make some appointments.

I'm also not mad that HP is getting its reboot-lunch-eaten by Dungeon Crawler Carl finally absolutely exploding into pop culture (although it's by no means YA coming of age UNLESS you consider Princess Donut). Fuck JKR, btw. Just in case we weren't sure.

Is there (or will there be) any way to buy directly from you, especially in ebook? I read on a kobo and the hoops i have to jump through to get from kindle to kobo is insane. And I'd prefer to give you the money instead of Amazon taking some, anyway.

I've never had a DVD or CD "go bad". I know it's technically possible, but the 1000 discs i have, have Vientiane survived 30+ years. And in that time, no one had broken in to tell me i was renting them

I think George and Charles are at the same level. But the media loves one of them and is indifferent to the other.

Honestly, no beef. He sends like a nice guy, and he's a decent driver. Soon as there's pressure, he chokes. And i don't think there's any other way to put it when he gets that many poles with almost no wins. bsky.app/profile/booz...

boozysmurf @boozysmurf.antipathy.ca · 06/09/2026
They set unfair expectations for George, absolutely. But George is at best a 5th-6th place driver on any given day. I'll still cheer for him over LeClerc though 😆

boozysmurf @boozysmurf.antipathy.ca · 06/09/2026
And for the life of me, i don't understand why the commentary box continues to jerk this guy off. He's a great time trial driver (qualifying) but he has zero ability to drive well under pressure.

boozysmurf @boozysmurf.antipathy.ca · 06/09/2026
LeClerc is so good at fucking up Ferrari 's chances of doing well - knocking Hamilton down to 8th, and then crashing out 10 corners later is classic Charles "Choke under pressure" LeClerc.

I mean, if it wasn't clear before, it is today. Kimi is the next generational talent, and George isn't getting his shot. Ever.

(Same story but pic) once hit a suddenly thrown-open BMW coupe door doing nearly 40kmh downhill (on a bicycle) - got sideways enough to put my shoulder into it, and bent it so far back it broke the front headlight off the car it was on. THIS door would have decapitated me, in the same situation.

Same with the anniversary re-release of the first movie. Local Theatre had it with around 20 daily showings, last Friday. Today? Two. Both after 930pm. No one is taking their kids to it.

Weird. I don't normally react to celebrity deaths, but once in a while, a thought strikes me. markramsden.wordpress.com/2026/08/25/d... Dolly was a good one.

I’m a huge Dolly Parton fan, and not a real fan at all. As a person, she always dominated the ideal of what I want to be. Kind, curious, strong, tenacious. That’s what I saw of the pers…
