Is it Monday? It Must Be Time For Memes!

Back at it...

Automotif DCXXIV...

Here's a 1965 Electra 225 convertible in the color that Buick called "Bamboo Cream". It's in really nice shape; obviously not a garage-dwelling creampuff but a regularly driven car with which the owner's happily battling entropy.

Snapped with a Sony 𝑎77.

Automotif DCXXIII...

Spotting MG TD kit cars built on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis is pretty easy from behind, as the exhaust system of the little rear-mounted air-cooled VW flat four is a dead giveaway.

Hump Day Meme Dump!

The Panopticon...

This sounds horrible and dystopian...

BusPatrol plans to scan the license plates of all vehicles the buses drive past, and then let law enforcement search that data. The plan would essentially turn school buses into roaming surveillance vehicles.

Basically turning your local Anytown School District's bus fleet into mobile Flock cameras.

They've already drawn scrutiny from Florida to Pennsylvania.

Tab Clearing...

• Plop, plop, fizz, fizz...


• The sheer dystopian-ness of the "AI girlfriend"


• Any time you find a crowbar wedged into a societal fault line in a Western democracy, it's a safe bet that the person leaning on the other end is standing in Russia.
