Had to make an unexpected visit to the car dealership to get a wiper replaced today, but got to meet two very good boys behind the counter. No pictures because I was too busy giving them skritches.

@craiggrannell@mastodon.social @retrododo@mastodon.social The trade off between access to review product and honesty has always been there, of course, but short form social media influencers have so little accountability (and often rigour) that this has become a huge problem.
