from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz

Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

Air travel has been enshittified by late stage capitalism. Elect me as President and I will nationalize the travel industries, support high-speed rail, and let furries run the airports the way they do IT.

This is horrific. Horrific for its barbarism, but also utterly unsurprising that a political party that can't win wars, can't control gas prices, can't bring down grocery prices and can't stop basic preventable diseases also can't kill prisoners correctly.

As Eisen explains, an insolvent company can go to bankruptcy, but an insolvent non-profit foundation goes to receivership, meaning the court appoints a new fiduciary. The exact opposite of what they wanted!

My parents are Irish Catholic boomers who have fallen into a lazy media diet in their dotage. The example that hit home for them about the current state of Palestine was me telling them “Ireland was the first country to recognize Palestine because they know an apartheid state when they see one”

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Carol St. Clair Johnson
born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

I spent a couple of hours walking the lakefront trail during Bike The Drive today. My few thoughts: I heard the lake before I could see it for the first time. I heard a lot of laughter and conversations. I smelled food and lake, not exhaust. I saw more Monarchs than I've ever seen before.
