This is still my favorite factory paint scheme on any truck ever:

I think a surprising number of “Tesla-haters” actually hate that narcissistic, embarrassing pedo-guy up there. I make it a point not to hate (pointing out obvious truths about our hypocritical & stupid society isn’t hate, exactly), but that dink & Trump...yeah, I wouldn’t mind if they both just died. I mean, quit

A fun comparison would be Fail Safe the book and Red Alert the book Strangelove is based on.  I know the book is also serious.

The film ended and all I could say was, “He did it. He actually nuked NYC.””

I saw it performed live in small theatre, pared down to just the President, translator and the war hawk advisor, with the rest of performances just disembodied voices over radio. It still worked powerfully.

Imagine watching it in 64, only 2 years after Cuba, and still in the aftershock of Kennedy's assassination. I still find it depressing, even though I (perhaps naively) think we've taken a step back from the brink.

I’ll be honest, I don’t understand why you’re calling me names. Nobody knocked on my door to ask me to fix my cars. So, why would I assume that I was upsetting anyone? I can’t read minds. As far as I was concerned, there wasn’t an issue. (Though, obviously, I was acutely aware of how silly the whole situation was—one

Yeah, I’ll never understand the “Your property doesn’t look pretty to me, therefore you have to change how you live” mentality, but then, I realize I’m probably more laissez-faire than most.

Perry Mason was always an attorney — though in the early books by Gardner (and the 1930s B-movie series largely starring Warren William as Mason), he was more of a charming shyster than the later legally-precise advocate he became.

I went to school with the guy who was doing the production. (Krasinski contracted most of it out to his small operation.) He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it.

Current Hertz employee here. Contrary to popular belief these are probably the best taken care of used rentals you can buy. Unless something went really wrong at some point, these aren’t getting into the hands of the weekend traveler who reserved a Yaris, they’re being rented by people who actually are willing to fork

Marketing/Branding probably has some responsibility too. Back in the day most car design efforts seem to have started out to make a new model in isolation from other models. Now, there is a corporate grille, headlights, and other cues that must be grafted onto every model a manufacturer makes, for consistency. So

Oh no, all the Bunkie Beaks!

It’s amazing how at this time everyone suddenly decided to rip off the recently revived and then killed again Stutz and their neo-classical design sensibilities. And for good measure, everyone threw in some “euro” styling on top of it. “Euro” in this case meaning headlights high up and

The only reason this is biting her is because how this dealership operates. As noted in the source article, one of the male employees was on that very same site. All he got was teased. Another male employee also groped another female employee, no mention of a reprimand for him.

Amazing that nobody was reprimanded for viewing porn at work.

She was thinking she’s an adult and should be able to do what she likes in her personal time.
She was also thinking she had bills to pay.

Yeah man, got to make sure technicians aren’t *checks notes* making a side income in a completely unrelated field.

A terrible, terrible idea. May as well have FUCK tattooed on one set of knuckles and Y’ALL on the other.

The movie that inspired thousands of stupid tattoos.

If the Coronavirus delays this indefinitely, then it will all have been worth it.
