Replacing the XJ was an impossible ask and this was doomed from the start. KJ [2002-2007] Jeep Liberty [it retained the name "Cherokee" in many markets], green over plastic, seen earlier today. I've driven a few. They were mediocre. The 3.7L V6 was if ennui was an engine. The turbodiesel [drove one!] should have been interesting. It was not. The 2.4L 4 was... who cares? These were very plasticky and felt down market. Daimler was already pilfering Chrysler's cash and it showed.

Posted earlier today, but it drew no interest with the yellow mascot attached. So that's gone. Comments off because why should they be on? I'm just posting something papped here. It's not that interesting, but nothing really was today.

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.

If you’ve read about TN this week, please take a moment with this piece if you didn’t read it when we published it: It’s an investigation into the execution team Alabama has put together. It’s officers with a history of violence who choose each other. Eye-opening to what happens in executions.

In Alabama, Prison Guards Accused of Violence and Misconduct Carry Out Secretive Executions - Bolts
As Alabama keeps details around the death penalty hidden, an investigation into its execution team raises questions about how incarcerated people are treated in their final moments.

As all the mechanics in my life I know hit their thirties they have either figured out how to get their way to running a shop/management, or their bodies are breaking. To make a living with manual labor in this country is to destroy your body and receive a societal shrug when you’re disabled.

A lot of canadian journalists think Carney will get into trouble when a scandal or something happens, but i think he'll dispatch that shit with ease. The problem will be when the dems get in and start doing interesting stuff and this oil stuff looks like the past

who is ready for the Red Deer People's Republic post-referendum
A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.

The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.

Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.

Every time I casually browse for Lexus LS 460s, I'm always delighted to see the FACTORY IN-DASH MINIDISC PLAYER that, apparently, was still a thing in 2008... (cars so equipped are Japanese imports. Australian-delivered cars had tape decks)
This is the centre stack of a Japanese-market Lexus LS, from the XF40 generation.

The upper screen is currently on the air-conditioning control page (エアコン = “air conditioner”). It gives touchscreen control over airflow direction and fan speed, alongside the physical climate controls immediately below.

The Japanese-labelled buttons down the sides also indicate this car retains its original Japanese-market infotainment/navigation system rather than having been converted to an export-market unit.

At the bottom of the centre console is a slot for a minidisc with a button labeled "MD" above it, alongside TV, DISC, and AM/FM

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

I’ve been off Bluesky all week due to the proceedings of Road & Track Performance Car of the Year, which is four very long, very fun days. To mark my return to staring at my phone for hours per day, guess which of these three cars I get to drive away from the test?
A silver Mitsubishi Outlander Sport that alleges to be a 2026 but is indistinguishable from a car built in 2012 next to a green Aston Martin Valhalla and a red Corvette Grand Sport.

The Fiat Talento was a version of the company's first-generation Ducato van, marketed separately and featuring an ultra-short 2315mm wheelbase. This gave it a rather comical appearance but provided added agility for tight spaces. It is shown in this German brochure from 1990. #carbluesky
