RIP Mr Chekov.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

💯 ABnBs are hotels that aren’t hotels. If you don’t like doing hotel things, then get the fuck out of the hotel business and sell your fucking house to someone who will us it as a fucking home.

You are and interesting species. An interesting mix. You are capable of such beautiful dreams. And such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost. So cut off. So alone.

Did I read this right… 10 year agreement with Indycar and Barcelona?? I have a hard time buying that long of a deal. Also, Fred… STFU.

I don’t know what Dumarey plans to do but their previous motorsports involvement has been minimal. It sounds like they might be acquiring the IP along with the facilities.

Alpine Racing SAS, the company that operates the long-running Renault engine facility at Viry-Chatillon, is set to be acquired by Belgian powertrain specialist Dumarey.

The first of several OEM switches in the IMSA paddock. Inception previously operated the McLaren 720 before switching to the Ferrari 296 in the middle of the 2024 season.

Socialism has a very big marketing problem. Especially with folks who immigrated from Latin America and South America. Democrats have never known how to communicate it well and the republicans just sew fear into everyone about it.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Socialism, once deeply unpopular in the U.S., is becoming more favorable among voters, even as there’s disagreement on what it means, public opinion polls and recent primary results have shown. nyti.ms/485FOoN

CGR has a deep bench but Simmons is a foundational piece of their efforts. Don’t expect an immediate boost to McLaren, but do expect an erosion in performance at Ganassi.

Too bad it was wasted with driver sketchiness at the start of the race.

Genesis getting a pole in the first year in hypercar is nothing short of staggering.

Haven’t seen it posted here. Penske Corp is buying out the shares of Penske Automotive, taking the public company private. Should have no impact on IndyCar other than RP won’t have as much free cash floating around. www.motorbiscuit.com/penske-autom...
