Because I have no concept of a diet other than "eat very little but try not to be perpetually hungry," I've fallen back to a partial version of the hilariously awful Abarth apple diet I tried a year ago. Fruit, cheese, minimal otherwise.

Lol, cause by 1924 Mefistofele was throwing down double that, and you're goddamned right any proper Italian will lose their shit over a fire spitting, airplane-engined car that sounds like a demon pulling 146 mph, as the good Senatore Giovanni Agnelli kinda didn't actually intend.
The Italian Futurists were going wild over the world-changing power of cars that topped out at 70mph. If they saw a 2018 Prius speeding down the freeway they'd be freaking out and asking if it ran on cum

It's 12:45 and I've already made muffins, swept and mopped the floors. Frankly, I'm proud of myself.

On today's episode of Things You Can't Learn On The Internet: apparently you could spec a bulletproof Lancia Gamma from the factory back in the day

Listening to a coworker openly MARVELING at the memory of taking a car ferry like it's the most incredible thing ever is causing me mental anguish. Yes, you drove on a big boat then off, nobody caaaares. Go do something actually interesting with your life.

One of the fun things about being a Fiat nerd is the truly excellent history. Case in point, March of 1943. Oh, no reason...

Oh, and again as a Fiat nerd, the US gov sure likes to keep handy historical notes, so mind your exhaust leaks

Driving home for lunch, I noticed something strange. In the year of our lord 2026, there are three Saturns on my block. Two Vues and an Aura.

Damn it, I just remembered I make absolutely dank Swedish pancakes and now it's almost midnight and I'm starving.
And my next meal is just a stupid banana.

I swear to god, I hate Lego so much. It was frustrating as a kid, now as a parent who is *supposed to* know how to do it, it's a hundred times worse. I can not fathom how people find hours of anger "fun."

My ability to be terrified of doing something literally months in advance is truly second to none. When it comes to worrying about how to do something the rest of the world does effortlessly, there is none more skilled than I. (Yes, I'm trying to work out the Turin metro 10 months in advance)

I basically want a villa that surrounds a courtyard on at least three sides with a small pool in it. Either brutalist or streamline moderne style
if you could have one absolutely ridiculous thing in your house, money is no issue, what would you add?

Y'know, cause Skeleton wasn't cool enough already...
Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti.

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you:
Hi, I'm anesthesia! Andrea is allergic to Ketamine (discovered during wisdom teeth removal) and she doesn't like to breathe when given other drugs too. (C-section, passed out seconds after child removal)

Considering you can stack 'em, I'm getting sworn in on the Scorpion manuals and my family's most beloved cookbook.
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

So I heard a HUGE explosion a little after midnight and thought "that's not fireworks." As it turns out, the potato drop downtown went a bit awry and there's some windows missing now...
