The EPA errs on the side of caution when it comes to EVs. Not every driver uses regenerative braking the same. Not every driver drives without AC. But here is my range estimate now, in the parking lot of my grocery store with the AC at 68 and fan blowing at 3 (of 8).

I've had my 2020 Kia Niro EV for five and a half years now, and this is my current range on a full charge. EPA-estimated range at the time of its release was 239mi.

Don't worry. It's gets worse. But then, I'm older than you AND I'm chasing my toddler around all day. Maybe you won't have it as bad until you're a grandpa. 🤣😂

I'm on a short Disney Cruise from San Diego to Ensenada. So, naturally, we woke this morning outside Oxnard.

The first 40,000 fans in the gate also got a Dodgers Godzilla bobblehead, AND there was a GMZ-themed drone show after the game. I couldn't go because it was a school night for my daughter, but I hear it was an incredible night from my friends who were there.

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨 How did a failed teen sex comedy featuring Tom Cruise and Shelley Long end up changing Hollywood for the next four plus decades? Listen to our episode on the 1982 Curtis Hanson movie Tequila... I mean the 1983 film Losin' It, today. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

If you're talking about the lady in the green top, she's wearing light blue pants at the start and black pants when she "returns." Absolutely AI bullshit.

There will be a new episode of the podcast coming this week, hopefully late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. And while the film itself might not be very memorable, the story behind the film will feel more than vaguely familiar to anyone paying attention today.
The original 1980 theatrical one-sheet for Rude Boy, a British movie best known for its footage of The Clash live just as they were about to break out onto the world stage.

I saw Apocalypse Now: The Truly, No Really, Honestly, Very Final Cut at the IMAX HQ in 2019. Also, the last time I saw Jeffrey Wells shunned by his fellow critics, ending up sitting by himself at the end on one of the aisles.

I don't know if you've seen this old chart but this explains part of why the Dodgers succeed. They don't just earn a lot of revenue. They put it back into the team. 21 of the 30 teams in MLB put less than half back into the team. Every team could have had Ohtani after 2023. Including the Angels.

Why, yes, I have roamed the streets of Vienna looking for shooting locations for The Third Man. Fun fact: the grate the hands that come out of at the end of the movie was filmed (at a different angle, of course) right in front of the doorway Harry Lime is first seen. 🎥
Me in front of the same doorway where Orson Welles is first revealed in The Third Man, October 2024.Cousin Orson (well, like, third cousin a couple times removed) making his famous entrance in one of the greatest movies of all time.

I don't know if you are aware, but there's a dam in Corona CA that had a bicentennial mural painted onto it that lasted for nearly 40 years before needing retouching. I still look for it whenever I have to head that way.

I love when a random stranger blocks me, usually over my public declarations against AI. By the way... do you know where I stand on AI? It's a simple stance. FUCK AI AND FUCK EVERY FUCKING SIMP FOR IT WHO TELLS US WE NEED TO BEND OVER AND TAKE IT BECAUSE ITS INEVITABLE!!!

I discovered on Tuesday Apple podcast had 2 simultaneous feeds of my show going at the same time. I was able to get it sorted out fairly quickly, and despite only having a small handful of listeners yesterday, my chart position shot way up because there weren't feeds fighting for the same audience.

I read the first book a month or so before Lynch's movie came out, and I was given the two page terminology guide to the movie at the theatre seeing it, and I was still lost most of the time.

Disney has sent out flat AND scope, 2D AND 3D, versions of Mando and Grogu and the Temple of Doom, telling projectionists to just play whichever version works best for the screen it'll be playing on.

This is the kind of AI bullshit that podcasts are being pushed towards. Most podcast that I am aware of and speak to are small operations. One, two, maybe three people, doing all the work for themselves, putting in the work that AI cannot do because these are our voices.
Text of an email this small, independent podcaster received only yesterday, telling podcasts to not let the haters bring you down.

If I gave a flying fuck about what was being said on X, I still fucking be on X. And yes, I recognize the irony of posting a screenshot from X to make my point. Stop bringing this garbage here.
Yet another ragebait bad take from someone who pays for perceived clout on X.
