It’s not often that one sees something of such beauty, such an exquisite heritage and all the things that givee petrol-heads / piston-heads a headache, and an overwhelming desire to possess.
Well then, how about this 1951 Maserati A6G/2000 AC Frua Spyder:
Here’s the whole story of the car; and yes, forget the price, as you would for an original Monet painting. Rather, just marvel at the artistry.
One of Thomas Hardy’s most popular novels now comes with a trigger warning after students were told it contains ‘upsetting scenes’ about the ‘cruelty of nature’ and ‘rural life’.
‘Far from the Madding Crowd’, which depicts the brutal reality of Victorian rural life, has been slapped with a content warning by the University of Warwick.
Erm, I hate to break it to you, but pretty much Hardy’s entire opus was dedicated to exposing the above cruelty of nature and rural life. His main target, however, was the stifling effect of Victorian Britain’s rigid class structure on the human spirit, made all the worse by rural life — there was no escape for the “low-born”, and they were condemned to a hopeless and brutal existence (e.g. The Woodlanders).
And Madding and Woodlanders are far from the worst; wait till these snowflakes get to The Mayor of Casterbridge, where they’ll see the horrifying consequences of a single immoral action.
I think I’ll go and re-read the above three, just for fun.
…or, How the Cops Become Robbers (15-minute video by Steve Lehto, sent to me by several Readers, thankee).
I remember this raid, and I was enraged back then. Don’t ask me how I feel now.
So much for the “uphold the Constitution” nonsense.
The hits, they just keep on coming…

…and boy, the news is extra shitty today.
…and:
…yeah, so remind me why I should get vaccinated again? Hint: never, and fuck off.
…I think we should extend that policy to the un-imprisoned pedophiles as well. Try to convince me I’m wrong.
…
…oooh, the Fibbies must be getting fwightened…
…probably a good idea, come to think of it. Not that I’m wishing any kind of physical violence against our beloved federal police force, oh no, not me.
…and the next time some terrified homeowner shoots a fed agent by mistake, of course he’ll be the bad guy.
…but hanging and the firing squad are too Krool & Hartless. Whatever:
…when Captain Slow has a wreck, there’s not much hope for the rest of us. On the other hand, most of us don’t play silly-bugger games in tunnels.
…am I the only one who had a sudden 1941 flashback?
And in (link-free) INSIGNIFICA:
…and if her parents aren’t very proud of her, Child Welfare should be called in.
Finally: I’m sick of the news. So instead, here are some Ferraris, suitably accessorized:
So much for the news.
From The Divine Sarah:
“We know the climate changes. We just don’t believe that socialism stops it.”
I’ll start worrying about the effects of mankind on the climate when Bill Gates sells his fucking jet.
Brief explanation of the above: I will not let another breakfast gin touch my lips until the fundraising goal is achieved. You have no idea of the sacrifice involved.
