Commenter "Martini Farmer" has a bunch of really nice photos up on his Flickr page. [CBD]

I feel so sad to be isolated from the Target Shopper demographic

This comedian on Carolla does a sick Jordan Peterson impression
Part of the trick is that he's memorized Jordan Peterson-esque soundbites, so if you mention a car, he can just say "Well a car is where it's at, isn't it? It's driving in the dead center of the road between order and chaos and that's a bloody crucial thing, you know! We need to get that straight and fast or else what're we even doing here, man!"
Whatever you say, he's got an "order versus law" or "lobster hierarchies" torpedo in the tube ready to fire
Later on he does a good Trump, too.
Here he and Carolla discuss the word salad speaking styles of Barack Obama and Gavin Newsom

Elon Musk claims his new cybertruck EV can beat a Porsche in the quarter mile, while the cybertruck is towing another Porsche

Someone on a plane looked over at what Paul Ryan was texting. Apparently he was trying to convince another politico to endorse Nikki Haley.

Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has died at age 93.

Ace? Is this something? [TJM]

DeSantis v. Newsom debate on Sean Hannity at 9pm Thursday
I don't have Fox and can't figure out a way to watch it. This guy might be stealing the signal for his YouTube show.

'Greatest lyricist': Irish president leads Ireland's tributes to Shane MacGowan here's a great one by The Pogues and Shane...Dirty Old Town
RIP [CBD]

Garth Merenghi -- author, dream-weaver, visionary, plus actor -- reads from his newest tome of terror, Incarcerat
He's on a book tour but apparently will not come to the US. Boo. I don't mean like a ghost, I mean Booooo. Booooo.

The Story of "Christmas Wrapping." The song he incorrectly thought was suddenly a hit was "I Know What Boys Like." Despite that being kind of iconic, it never went anywhere sales-wise. It was the "toss-off" nothing of a song "Christmas Wrapping" that became their big (surprise) hit.

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: One-Hit Wonders Edition
Kissing like a bandit, stealing time Underneath a sycamore tree/Cupid by the hour sends valentines/To my sweet lover and me.
I was never sure if this song was okay, or just a goofy piece of crap.

Hat Quest Update: While Amazon auto-completes the search "fedora with safari flaps" (try it!), no haberdasher is smart enough to actually make a fedora with safari flaps, despite the obvious interest in such stylish, attention-getting headwear.
Let's hope some enterprising, uh, enterprise meets the market's demand.

The bobsled chase in For Your Eyes Only
Real stunts, what an innovation!
Longer clip here, from the beginning of the chase

Pity Justin Trudeau, whose failed premiership is coming to a crashing end [CBD]

I'm thinking about buying this rad hat. Do you think I can pull it off?

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: Vienna Ice Edition
Sie war jung, das Herz so rein und weiss
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis
Sie sagt, "Sugar sweet, ya got me rapping to the heat!"
Ich verstehe, sie ist heiss
Sie sagt, "Babe, you know, I miss my funky friends."
Sie meint Jack und Joe und Jill

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: They'll Never Stop Trying to Make Ska a Thing Edition
Father wears his Sunday best/Mother's tired, she needs a rest, the kids are playing up downstairs/Sister's sighing in her sleep/Brother's got a date to keep, he can't hang around

Video of the car that slammed into the toll booths literally flying through the air. It's in the background, at the top of the frame.

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin': Darryl Hall seeks restraining order against John Oates in acrimonious legal fight
I think the restraining order is business-oriented, not like John Oates is stalking him or something.
