Why can't BMW just do this? They must know everyone thinks their old designs are iconic. What is stopping them?

The Shining is on a completely different level to the book.
Unpopular opinion but the movie is never better than BOOK.

All the best music is a bit sleazy, but is there any sleazy classical music?

This tweet has got people all upset, but wouldn't a true punk admire the irreverence?
it's so corny to me when people talk about how punk changed their life. it's always "i had the profound epiphany that u could suck, all you need is 3 chords, anyone can do it" and i'm like (sleep in big bed with wife voice) "i was learning television and radiohead songs as a kid"

Ok, I'll draw some arrows on the floor in Asda.
A friend of mine who works in Russia has just sent me a voicemail: St Petersburg is going to go into lockdown tomorrow because of the plague outbreak. Not joking.

I'm going to suggest that hiding the fire extinguishers might not be an optimal safety plan.

The Apple Store on 5th Ave is filled with incredible details. This perfect little door keeps the fire extinguisher hidden.

I wonder if Burnham is up to his nuts in corruption here.
“I would be really concerned to lose them.” Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the possibility of Manchester City’s owners selling up. What?! These are owners found guilty of serial breaches of the Premier League rule-book by three judges on an independent commission after a lengthy investigation. Owners who outraged other clubs and countless fans by flouting the rules and inflating sponsorship income with the Disguised Funding Scheme. Owners who misled auditors and regulators, who threaten to bring this Premier League season – and, potentially, future seasons - to a standstill by their appeal, deny, delay tactics. Owners who are patently not proper custodians of a famous, historic club. Owners who many hope will sell up and ship out after bringing such shame and sham contracts to the game. So these are astonishing, alarming comments from the PM. “I do actually thank the City Football Group and the wider ownership for the money that they didn't just put into the Etihad and the campus around it but also into the city," Burnham told the BBC’s Chris Mason. Come on, PM. Read the room. Read the commission’s report. Read the belligerent statements from the Abu Dhabi owners and their chief executive like Ferran Soriano. Rather than thank CFG, perhaps thank the diligence of the Premier League in seeking to enforce its rules and protect the national sport. Perhaps thank the three judges for their pain-staking work in sifting through reams of evidence and coming to their considered conclusion. Burnham spoke as a politician seemingly with one eye on diplomatic and trade links. He spoke as a former mayor whose city benefited from investment in east Manchester by Abu Dhabi. “They've been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester and obviously the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is.” And how was that building financed? Burnham spoke as a politician and not the football fan that he truly is. The lifelong Evertonian is usually pretty sound on football matters. He misread the mood of many fans not wanting the possible return of drinking in Premier League stands but that was a rare misstep. This is far worse. This makes him look out of touch with the prevailing mood. He was speaking at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Maybe he should head to Anfield on Sunday week and witness the anger felt towards City. Burnham did add that he wasn’t getting involved in the process and that City had a right to appeal if they felt harshly treated. But how does the PM’s sympathetic words for controversial owners help the independent football regulator charged by Government with leading the fight against those who risk the credibility of their club, who play fast and loose with the rules and who damage the integrity of the national sport? How frustrating if Burnham’s words embolden City's owners and Soriano further. Bit of an own goal by No 10.

The Terminator (1984) A deleted scene from the ending where it turns out the final confrontation between Sarah and the T-800 was actually at Cyberdyne, handing them the technology that leads to their creation and starts the future war. A great, bleak time loop paradox

I wrote such a program in the 1980s on the BBC Micro, with additional frills like disabling Escape and having it beg for its life. I was trying to demonstrate the philosophical absurdity of doing what is depicted in the cartoon and what is happening in real life now.
