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. Google map of cars location

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

It’s almost like the whole panic over migration that seems to grip some political parties is entirely manufactured…

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

This is wonderful

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Wife was happy when our 36yo son moved out. When we visited him, he had turned his dining room into a war hammer battle room, & the spare bedroom a retro gaming room. Wife was furious saying his house is like a nerdy teen's bedroom. Secretly I'm jealous, he is living my fantasy

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

What a waste.

I can think of other ways to describe it.

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? Did they all have a basic humanity bypass at birth?

Not only a perfect denouement, it was the end of an era. Thirty years ago today, this strip was published.

That sounds a lot more fun than my recent toils with Unreal! Most interesting graphical stuff we got to do at uni was Phong and Gouraud shading, in Pascal!

I wish my computer graphics lectures had been that informative! Still have my copy of Hearn & Baker kicking around somewhere…

My son (who’s been dabbling with three.js recently) sent me that video a few days ago. Such a good introduction.

how all youtube ads sound to me

Macready in the Thing but instead of we're all very tired the text reads "it's somewhere between christmas and new year and i'm roughly 4/5ths Stollen."

My son bought me what I thought was a drill. Turned out to be a toblerone gaffer-taped to a bottle of Bailey’s.

Happy Christmas Nick, hope you’ve had a good day 🙂

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”

Been listening to them since catching that episode that night. There are great Tiny Desk and KEXP sessions on YouTube.

Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film…
25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE!

Can’t wait for you to see it.
So, so proud of our team.
We’ve made something a bit special.

Absolute piece of shit.
