Recently I keep seeing suggested/ads for things making fun of electric vehicles.

My favorite car I ever owned was a nissan leaf, and right now I have an electric scooter, so not sure what I did to get on list of "people who hate electric vehicles" and why that's even a list.

I have a running joke with a friend about "what Jeff wants to sell me today".

(Jeff being Jeff Bezos, i.e. Amazon recommendations.)

Strange things Jeff has wanted to sell me recently:

falconry equipment
a gallon of molasses
a quern-stone
veterinary surgical adhesives

After playing a bit of Baldur's Gate 3, I now imagine Jeff Bezos as a deep gnome merchant with an astonishingly random assortment of products ....

I'm imagining you going into wal mart, arriving at checkout with all those items in a row. Queue very skeptical look from the cashier.

This is my falcon, Awk Sed Fred ...

Queue is a line of something. Cue is a hint or signal.

Uhh, nah I totally meant that they're queueing up their skeptical looks. Yeah, totally on purpose.
