I know that some people are going to see a Cybertruck and be mad that someone actually bought one of these monstrous things from the babyman fascist who runs Tesla.

Be mad if you want, but don’t act mad. Not at them, not visibly.

If you really need to react then… laugh. Laugh unexpectedly, like you can’t believe what you’re seeing.

Laugh at the fugly truck, in that “oh my gods, you actually bought one of those stupid things?” way. In that “trying not to be seen laughing at you but I can’t stop oh my gods it’s so stupid looking I can’t believe it’s real” kind of way.

If you’re with a friend, and they’re in on it, suppress a laugh, poke your friend and get them to look and have them try not to laugh in that “oh my gods I’m so embarrassed for you” way.

Because let’s face it: it is hilarious, in so many ways. It’s worse than a Nissan Cube and far worse than a Ford Edsel, and so many other vehicles. It’s a 20% rendered bunker vehicle and if you think stainless steel is a good idea for a car body, ask any DeLorian collector how that plays out.

Particularly once you get a dent in it. Which you will.

And besides, a lot of Muskovites, they’re fine with angry strangers. They know how to sneer and feel superior in the face of that.

But being laughed at, though?

Not as much. xD

I honestly don't get the hate for the newly revised White House Rose Garden. Perhaps because I expected worse, but still. It seems perfectly reasonable, and there are parts I rather like.

I do think exposing the wall behind the colonnade was a misstep, and that the trees were doing the space a real service by hiding the terrible fenestration. But at the same time, I think the pathwork makes the space feel larger, and I like the way the space opened up a bit more, particularly opposite the colonnade wall. I think the lawn beyond the rose garden needs some work to better integrate into it, but that can be work done later.

I want a remake of The Abominable Dr. Phibes starring this guy, playing this thing, stat.

...I've just figured out the other half of the Google/YouTube streaming service contract.

I am impressed. This is a well-engineered trap. Nicely evilled, Google. Well done.

Bigger post tomorrow.

I don’t know who “she” is, but I like her.

Studio washroom:

no, really – the sewer rats are radioactive

Also, the Rainmaker 68000 is working great. Of course, the Lair is in a mountain in a rain forest, so it’s easier here. Still: very promising! I’m looking forward to the field testing – have you ever seen Vegas in a rainstorm? Hilarious.
