…in which the delectable Nicole Johnson achieves more than one Moment Of Ecstasy when driving (actually, being driven in) a muscular Austin Healey Sprite.
The engineering is brilliant, and the car is as cute as she is. Watch it and enjoy (20 minutes).
440 horsepower, baby. Sheeeeesh….
And this is Nicole after her Big Moment:
Sometimes, the news is just priceless.
Why are people across China refusing to pay housing loans?
A wave of disgruntled homebuyers are refusing to pay mortgages for unfinished or stalled housing projects, as debt-strapped property developers run out of cash. Payments have stopped on at least 100 projects in more than 50 cities, according to researcher China Real Estate Information Corp. Analysts believe that a drop in home values may be another driver for the refusal to meet payments. Until recently, China’s mortgages have been considered among the safest banking assets because of high down payments and collateral value.
So let me see: you take on debt to purchase a product, and when the product fails to be delivered, you refuse to pay for it. Only in a world of banker-thought can you be the bad guy.
As to why all this is happening, see here. (Executive summary: it was all built on debt.)
And it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Commie assholes.
Last Sunday, weasel-faced Oz golfer Cameron “Cam” Smith won the coveted award for “Worst Hairstyle Ever To Win A Major Golf Tournament” by a country mile:
His nearest competitor for the title, Miguel Angel Jimenez…
…did not make the cut.
Perennial challenger for the Worst Hairstyle award, Phil “Greedy” Mickelson…
…was not allowed to play because reasons.
Most of the time, Righteous Shootings take place inside a house, as a homeowner protects life and home against the predations of goblins intent on unauthorized property redistribution and / or unwanted sexual advances, etc.
But this is America, where a mall can also feature such an event:
Breitbart News reported that a suspect opened fire in the Greenwood Park Mall food court around 6 p.m.
The attacker was able to kill three people before a 22-year-old armed citizen intervened, shooting the attacker dead.
Bravo, kid. We’re all proud of you. As are the police:
Greenwood, Indiana, police chief Jim Ison described the 22-year-old who shot and killed a mall attacker as the “hero of the day.”
You betcha, Chief. Only in some disgusting country (e.g. New York) could someone be arrested for doing something like this.
However:
The Simon Property Group, which owns the mall, states in its code of conduct that no weapons are allowed at their shopping centers. The policy was last updated in April 2020.
Bet they’re glad someone broke their pissy little rule now. And they are:
“We grieve for the victims of yesterday’s horrific tragedy in Greenwood. Violence has no place in this or any other community. We are grateful for the strong response of the first responders, including the heroic actions of the Good Samaritan who stopped the suspect.”
Uh huh. I’ve seldom obeyed the “no weapons” signs anyway, unless there are metal detectors inside.

…and the pendulum swings, oh yes it does. By the way, a couple of their policy proposals would be sure vote-getters in Europe as whole, not just in Italy.

…but before clicking on the link, you may want to take a look at this Eva Vlaardingerbroek creature:
And by the way, I think that “Vlaardingerbroek” means “Flan-ingredient-pants” in English, but I’ll let Reader Jwenting correct me. (And indeed he has: “Vlaardingerbroek refers to a polder near the town of Vlaardingen. A “broek” is directly what in English is called a “brook” or creek.”)
Many thanks.
From Hugo Gurdon:
“We’re now able, with our dazzling technology, to look billions of light years from the surface of our planet all the way to the rim of outer space and to peer back as far as the beginning of the universe. But here on Earth, we blind ourselves with ideology and cannot see what’s staring us in the face.”
