Cell phone incoming signals: dit dit dit…dit dit dit…dit dit dit…buzzzzzzzzzz…dit dit dit…buzzzzzz…ringtone.

I don’t know why, but “mechanical turk” keeps cropping up when I think about this sort of stuff.

Has anybody seen the movie WALL-E?

It’s probably a bit of a stretch, but I feel like this is somehow the genesis/precursor of the hoverchairs that all the adults use for everything.

(God, I hope not.)

This seems more appropriate.

Putin will probably just pull some more strings or use whatever leverage he supposedly has against Trump, so it ends up with Russia getting Alaska back with some form of a federal government payout too, that will be doled out to the working class in the form of a tax increase.

My first thought is all the maga people are going to run up to Alaska to “defend freedom” from Russia.

I then realized that probably won’t happen because they’ll only listen to what Trump tells them to do, so they’ll sit back and watch as the USA is reduced to 49 states.

In their eyes, you can’t spell RUSsiA without U.S.A…

A 2024 Kia Telluride is right around $50,000 USD (fully loaded specs), but I get what you’re saying with regards to vehicles in general.

Like BMW and Tesla having “creature comforts” behind subscriptions.
