I love talking with our legal team about contracts and risk and stuff. I get to learn all sorts of interesting jargon and concepts, and they are great allies for almost anything Cybersecurity needs to do. Seriously "brother from another mother" territory.

You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further.
The 1999 Toyota Corolla.
Let's talk about features.
Bluetooth: nope
Sunroof: nope
Fancy wheels: nope
Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn.
Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End.
You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up.
This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children.
Things this car is old enough to do:
Vote: yes

Consent to sex: yes
Rent a car: it IS a car
This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would.
Interesting facts:
This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey.
In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional."
When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla
You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey.
Favorite food: spaghetti
Favorite tv show: Alf
Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms
This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-

When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine."
Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla.

NEW: Clemency for Tina Peters would be unprecedented, based on my analysis of Gov Polis' 25 commutations. Peters hasn't shown remorse, taken accountability, or sought to restore harm. No Polis commutation was for a harsh sentence alone and Peters' would be the shortest by 30+ yrs

The conservationists do their best to document, but it's worth thinking for a minute how FEW people in the country intersect with history, materials, and techniques like this.

One thing to add: Democrats really shouldn’t fear to be anti-ICE. It’s specific, unlike β€œdefund the police.”

If asked, say β€œOf course I support enforcing the law. ICE isn’t doing that. They’re breaking lawsβ€”really important laws, like the Bill of Rightsβ€”not enforcing them, which why I oppose ICE.”

The Supreme Court has finally announced that Donald Trump’s stupid, illegal tariffs were, in fact, stupid and illegal. Now every company in America is lining up to get a big fat tariff refund from the federal government.

But who actually paid those tariffs? YOU did, because America’s big retailers marked everything up. So shouldn’t YOU get the refund? Not a bunch of corporate dipshits and douchebags?

Cards Against Humanity thinks so. That’s why we are giving 100% of our tariff refund back to all of you, our customers. Sign up now at GetYourFuckingMoneyBack.com.
