Driving while managing all those flashing lights and beeps would be annoying AF.
#F1 was a lot more fun when 90% of the commentary wasnβt about charging the battery
This season will be madness

"So, we have a negative number for February non-farm payroll. A loss. We're also seeing the unemployment rate tick up" -- DUN DUN DUN: Maria Bartiromo and company cope with a dire jobs report

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead
MYTH: These strikes could lead to a long war. FACT: It depends how many decades you consider βlong.β

Albaneseβs utter delight in this war is nauseating. Itβs like heβs hoping he might get a membership at Mar-a-Lago

Australian media isnβt covering this but whatβs happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cubaβs last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, itβs getting worse.
Mullin's (controversial) positions:
β’ Opposes abortion in ALL cases - rape, incest, mother's life at risk
