When I watched the skit, I sang and clapped along. I left feeling inspired and motivated to defeat fascism as though a giant weight had been lifted from my body. I’ve been looking at tankie responses and they don’t understand what Skibidi Biden means, or more importantly what it means for democracy. They don’t care that it...

We were in the first group to drive the Cybertruck off the Service Center lot out of Jacksonville, FL early this year. Upon our drive home, we noticed some minor issues. Notably, the tires...
Interestingly the invoice said that they both replaced the ideal AND installed a rivet. Unfortunately they forgot to realign the wheels or connect the tie rod or something else that caused the truck to pull to the right A LOT when I picked it up. So, it’s back in the shop....
spoilerRenegade gardeners across the world are embracing a new philosophy: gardening that prioritises insects, not plants. The marauders appeared out of nowhere.

On my first road trip in the Cybertruck, it’s no longer charging! I paid $100K for this truck, and I can’t enjoy it. I’ve had it for over a month and only drove it for 2 weeks; the rest of the time, it’s been stuck in service. On top of that, the wall connector charger that came with the truck doesn’t work, and service...
