Gotta shake it out sometimes!

-they’re overemphasizing the battery charge thing on the F1 broadcast. Thankfully it just looks like they’re lifting & coasting a little, it doesn’t look like something weird or alarming you have to explain

-Everyone with a shot at the podium tomorrow is remarkably likeable
-oooh we get to see if The Ferrari Start is a spoiler 🤞

-Prince George ending up top wasn’t surprising because of the car, he basically maximized his result at every weekend last year
-I like the slow outlap/gun it at the last corner Quali thing because the initial acceleration on these cars is so dramatic, you really get a sense the lap has Started

That chunk of leafblower that Lando hit exploded like a clay pigeon in space. What a suck abstract physics display #f1 #ausgp

Quite ironic that Max was undone by an unstable rear axle while his teammate thrives. Qualifying has been a treat so far #AusGP

When the season started and Ted still didn’t know jack shit about soccer I was really worried he was like, mentally deficient? Why isnt he at least curious? Then it became a bizarre, totally different show entirely

gotta admit I never expected it to be as huge and appealing as this. What a nice surprise

the Michael Phelps of the Not Having A Single Fucking Plan Olympics

'Not pleasant at all' - what an F1 driver sees trackside in testing Even years of experience watching F1 cars trackside pales drastically in comparison to the expertise a driver can offer. So we enlisted the help of Jack Doohan

Doohan is really articulate at this type of analysis, which all current F1 drivers probably are but they don’t really get an outlet for. I loved this piece from Bahrain testing, you get to see how the mind works www.the-race.com/formula-1/f1...

if more people were watching Drops of God rn we could have an international cultural moment savoring how cool this show is and how cool Daï is

get a girl who looks at you the way Noa looks at Alphonse

and if it is, that’s like, The way that particular person interacts with the world. They’re an ‘everything is politics’ person for maps

Most Americans would probably get Minnesota and Missouri wrong on a map. Who cares

This is just a factor of being a huge country. It would be like expecting someone in Guangzhou tell Belgium and Denmark apart on a map. When does it even come up they have other things going on

Drop something red ✨❤️

They didn’t warn all US embassies in the area about the war and didn’t have a plan for defending Strait of Hormuz traffic so not having a plan for Shaheds is not a surprise

I like that if you scroll down a bit google is like “uh, but like, just in case”

BMW has a clear opportunity to return the Cooper name to the F1 grid

Is this largely a scale thing? Like listening to players, of course, absolutely good until a critical mass gradient or something where ersatz community consensus forms and it ceases to be helpful

Or is it just ‘listen to their problems, not their solutions’

I’m sure there are other contributing factors but discoverability seems not just bad, but weird and weirdly volatile these days. Every Internet problem is a volume knob problem

now everyone (gamers that like to pay attention) has a frequent experience of discovering an anticipated game of theirs had already come out without fanfare, or “HOW haven’t I heard about this [thing that appeals to me & my friends hyperspecifically]” moments

This accrues into the impression

how games are released has a role

For a long time games had release schedules in magazines or listed at a GameStop etc. you could have a casual mental map of March Releases or whatever. Now there’s a constant new game monsoon, less tentpoles to mark time, and less diminished coverage

Of course. It’s a great song

I saw Hamnet. Michelle Obama is on him

I’ve had a lot of people ask me what pen is best for learning lettering or calligraphy or whatever. The answer is always something akin to 7, preferably stolen. The strokes of a cheap ballpoint always contains more information
