'Ente (2CV)' #FotoVorschlag FASTER THAN A FERRARI. AS MANY WHEELS AS A ROLLS ROYCE. MORE ROOM THAN A PORSCHE. THE £2,584 CITROËN 2CV. All you'll ever need in a car

FASTER THAN A FERRARI.
Travelling flat out at 71.5mph the Citroën 2CV will
easily overtake the Ferrari Mondial travelling at 65mph.

AS MANY WHEELS AS A ROLLS ROYCE.
The £255,240 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit. How many wheels? Four, The £2,581 Citroën 2CV. How many wheels? Exactly the same.

MORE ROOM THAN A PORSCHE.
With a possible 30cu ft, boot space there's no need for one of those plastic luggage racks on our little run-about.

THE £2,584 CITROËN 2CV.
All you'll ever need in a car

It appears that this #NeXT Cube I'm working on (at @foulab ) was last set up to connect to `IPBROADCAST=132.206.3.255`, which is a #McGill IP block. Anyone in #Montreal got a greybeard IT connection at McGill that could tell me more about the cube? I'm afraid at least some of the lore has been […]

i was going to put this in a reply to someone's post, but by the time i found it and got it adjusted and stuff, my browser decided to refresh the page and i have no idea where i was going to post it anymore. so here, here's @mathew and i wearing goofy bird masks.

black and white photo of two people facing each other. at left is someone in a pale grey t-shirt wearing a big crow mask that goes completely over their head. at right, the person is wearing a slightly darker grey t-shirt printed with the words "whiskey whiskey whiskey" on it. they have a black plague doctor mask on that covers the whole face and straps to the back of the head. the mask is embellished with steampunk-style elements and has goggles where the eyes would go.

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia

A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.

so THIS GUY keeps flying around looking for places to build a nest (okay he's really a female bird but his name is Angus). he's getting into everything everywhere that looks even remotely like a hole he could start a nest in. the recess on the fridge with the ice […] [Original post on beige.party]

Angus Budgie, the shit-starter. A yellow and green budgerigar shot from above looking right into the camera, close-up. He is standing on a computer keyboard. Astute viewers will notice that the bird's cere is brown, not blue, and that this is actually a female bird. We gave him the name before he was mature enough to reveal his true gender, but as he was named for Angus Young from AC/DC, we couldn't bear to rename him. He's cool with it, we asked him.
