King of the Hill is finally back on the air after a 15-year hiatus. I’ve been binge-watching it, and I can’t put my finger on it, but I love it. Maybe it’s that feeling of nostalgia of kicking back behind the screen and watching The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Robot Chicken, and other shows of my childhood. Maybe it’s because the reboot feels like a real continuation of the original, which reboots oh so often fail at.
Anyway, Matt wrote about how Lordstown Assembly in Ohio, formerly the site of a General Motors production facility, then the home of Lordstown Motors, then a facility for Foxconn, and now it’s going to be an AI data center. A. Barth:
An AI Data Center And Data Center Equipment
Hank: I sell data centers and data center accessories. That’s what you want, I tell ya hwat.
Bobby: What if someone asks about the cloud?
Hank: Then we ask them politely yet firmly to leave.
NC Miata NA:
The Lordstown plant site will exist forever, constantly shuffled between companies promising to build the latest buzzword product and create local jobs to extract maximum government subsidies before “market conditions” causes the project to be abandoned. Rinse and repeat every handful of years.
Matt also wrote about the tired clichés that automotive journalists use, including your favorite Autopians. Mrbrown89:
“Holy Grail” meaning a specific package or equipment combination that ran in low volumes. Oh wait…
Hello, police? I’d like to report a murder.
Alexk98:
“Whopping” : Followed by a number about 20% above average, be it power, weight, price, etc.
I’m definitely guilty of this one!
Finally, Thomas wrote about how there’s a new Dodge Durango Hellcat out there, and it’s just Dodge playing the hits, really. MikeInTheWoods:
Selling about 14 of these will really keep Dodge afloat.
They should offer new colors like Ashes Grey, Dodgey Brown Stripe, Firesale Red, CEO Blues, Clutched Pearls White Metallic.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

The King of the Hill continuation works on so many levels. Honestly, Bobby’s weird brand of self-confidence in the original series paying off as he develops into a (somewhat) successful chef and entrepreneur (and ladies’ man, rowrrr) is my favorite aspect of the new season. The rest of it feels like old times, which isn’t a bad thing at all.
Yup, Bobby’s growth is a big draw of the new series. Everyone else seems to be stuck in their old habits. And I can finally understand Boomhauer with CC enabled.
How Bill lost all that weight between the first and second episodes is a mystery.

I dunno. Hank was pretty quick to figure out that renaming Samoas was a good thing to do. I don’t think OG Hank would have been so fast to give up his tradition.
And, hell, he was also relatively quick to accept that Bobby cooks with charcoal, and not just for an “affair” on Lady Propane. 😉
Hank being exposed to a different culture in Saudi Arabia and causing him to open his mind in some ways is also a running theme this season.
Yep. Literally watching it as I read this.
