a Restomod of a Ferrari 355 by evolutoautomobili.com
Ian Callum and evolutoautomobili.com managing to pull off one of the most audacious bits in the car universe. Make a restomod that charges rich people fortunes for a 355 that looks like one of those hooky MR2 bodykit 355 'replicas'. Chapeau!
There should be strictly enforced term limits on Op Ed columns - the demand for takes rots the mind.
Good title, up there with the all time winner

I'm never fed up
Because I'm made up
just bought tickets to see @cud.bsky.social just down the road...
A Dualit toaster element with a burnt out trace.
*sucks breath over teeth* that'll be your problem right there...
A delivery from Dualit
The patient, pre-med applied gently lay upon the operating table. If you zoom in you can see this toaster was made in Great Britain by Michael. Cheers Mike, we've had some top toast 🍞
Clear easy instructions to, ahem, pass over to your qualified electrician and a shiny new element
The patient, opened up on the table
Did I mention that Dualit are great? They really are. BTW you will need to request the spanner, even if you have a lot of tools... 6.5mm is an unusual size.
A screenshot from Björk's video, directed by Chris Cunningham - Björk is rendered as a very cool, clean cyberpunk robot
I know it is probably not the original source, but I blame Chris Cunningham's gorgeous video for Björk's All is Full Of Love for cementing the visual idea.
Obv needs a bald robot-lady in white plastic body, but showing exciting tech pipes and whatnot in the gaps... ;)
The enduring idea that 'What the Front Pages Say' drives news is insane. We will build a narrative around what a collection of right wing billionaires have decided to spray onto a dwindling number of people. The profit of the paper is meaningless, the ability to drive news is all. See Spectator sale

Spring. It's coming! Soon it'll be too late to commute in under these delicious skies... #MotoSky
A gorgeous four slot Dualit toaster - don't worry my sweet. you'll soon be toasting back at full capacity
A replacement element you can buy direct from Dualit to maintain your toaster - just to be clear, their policy to support owners repairing their own products fucking rocks!
Dualit will even supply the element spanner for free with an element. Did I mention they rock?
just ordered a replacement element from Dualit who really live by the promise to support your appliance, good value too. It's already had a timer dial a few years ago.
I absolutely love them for being this way.
Theseus' toaster.
Jewellery box with a spinning ballerina... oof!
Feeling seen
Just saying, all these tedious tiktoks of tables with rivers of resin in the middle and electric guitars made of tat and litres of resin only appeared when Duttons and Rickmans went from our streets, oh and TVR shuttered. I think 'Big Resin' is behind it all. @carpervert.bsky.social
Nick Ross. Coincidentally, Nick hosted the Crimewatch episode when the headmaster was murdered. True story. The school photo they showed on the telly had me and my mate Ben sat in front of him (murdered headmaster, not Nick Ross). Ben's dad was senior in the Met and was on the case.
Incredible ride on the Aylesbury to Buckingham road, which is a belter, but typically busy, you take the good bits where you can...
...That F.A. Cup final day was glorious :)
Reminded of putting ad artwork onto an Iomega ZIP disk and driving over to the bureau who had an ISDN line - they'd send it in to the various newspapers.
In my experience it would be a Backronym
at The Open University Science Faculty in the pre-iPhone days we moved ALL interactive content into Flash. HUGE project, incredible work by the devs doing amazing stuff with ActionScript.
Then iPhone... iPad and the death of Flash. Argghh!

Every time I catch a glimpse of this picture on the Guardian today I think they're rebooting the A-Team

Advertising and design agencies were like this for a while - you'd have a 'creative' standing behind the 'Mac operator' telling them stuff... compress the kerning, drag out the leading, make the pic bigger, full bleed, nah back to the first size. They didn't know how to operate the computers 😀

Setting up the photoshoot for a Euro-trance vinyl limited edition cover art or mandatory first aid training refresh? You decide.
Written by Troy Kennedy Martin, he of The Sweeney, The Italian Job and Kelly's Heroes fame. The man had range!
Oh and the soundtrack seems eerily familiar... that's because it's Michael Kamen, with slow bluesy single notes by Eric Clapton... It's Lethal Weapon, two years early!
Widowed policeman Ronald Craven (played by Bob Peck) in the series Edge of Darkness (1985) An utterly bereft looking Ron is lying on the bed of his daughter who was just murdered and died in his arms. He is holding her Teddy Bear and an automatic pistol. Bad day. I suspect this isn't a happy go lucky story...
Started on Edge of Darkness. Always heard its quality, just that not sure of my appetite for dark conspiracy and brooding right now? (Maybe TV Burp on YouTube?) Reminds me of the Guinness Tinker, Tailor, fascinating if only for the cars out on British roads in 1985, look, there's a Matra Rancho!
An interesting example, thanks! Obviously the whole zombie thing removes any sense of terror, and it just becomes splatter... Which presumably was exactly what they intended.
An industrial shredder - very thick cylindrical toothed blades that rotate intermeshed, dragging whatever they are shredding into themselves.
Has any action film used the threat of one of these things? They are absolutely terrifying, yet utterly compelling to watch.
More to the point who needs another Avatar movie? Or even a second one.
