Was behind one of these earlier this week on Isleta Blvd.

and recalled a day not that long ago in which I’d guess at least 96% of the non-Hummer driving population felt anyone owning/driving such a behemoth just had to be a giant, self-centered, thoughtless dick.

And now in 2024 there are so many drivers with big-ass pickup trucks and other monstrosities that the Hummer I saw on Isleta Blvd. literally just blended in with its oversized brethren. We’ve gone from public debate on whether they should be outlawed to many/most folks driving highly similar behemoths.

And “we” seem okay with this. “We” as a driving society have embraced our inner giant, self-centered, thoughtless dick. That a giant, self-centered thoughtless dick is popular enough to almost win back the Presidency in 2024 further illustrates the Hummerization. That pedestrian fatalities continue a nationwide remarkable spike/epidemic given so many giant, self-centered thoughtless dicks on the road is to be expected.

Stay safe out there, everybody.
