🇺🇲 The last Edsel, a station wagon, rolled off the Louisville assembly line on November 19, 1959. The story of the 1960 Edsel is brief but poignant. Production began on September 14, 1959, at the Ford Louisville plant, the only remaining Edsel manufacturing facility, and just over a month later, on October 15, the cars were introduced to the public. However, by November 19, production had ceased, with only 2,846 vehicles assembled.

📅 The final Edsel to be built, known as Job Number 344, was a tan station wagon. For the assembly crew, it was just another day at work. The engine gave a slight cough as it started, and in two minutes, the last Edsel rolled off the line and into history.

🔚 It's clear that by the time the 1960 models were introduced, the Edsel was already a lost cause for the Ford Motor Company. Despite its short production run, the Edsel has left a lasting legacy as one of the most memorable names in automotive history.

Even though she's an excellent presenter with loads of experience, a former player and super passionate about the sport.

But none of that matters obviously...

Fuck em' Alex make them suffer!

My favorite moment from the podcast is, in The Dancing Men pt 1, me shouting "FOLSOM PRISON BLUES" after hearing the first 5 words of that clip and then having to wait a whole 2 minutes for everyone else to catch up to that conclusion

Well this was a fantastic start, wasn't it?

First day at a new office suite and the bloody lift had broken down! The box with a the scant amount of personal belongings she toted around with her and her briefcase come laptop bag were placed at her feet and she looked at the control panel, searching for the 'call operator' button. Except that, there was none. Neither was there anything resembling a phone-type device. So exactly how one was supposed to let building management know that you were stuck in here, was beyond her.

But at least there was someone else to ask.

She turned to the man who, up to now, had remained quiet and still in the back and corner and asked "Sorry, I'm new to the building......how do we let them know the lift.....sorry, elevator has broken down?"

New Scotland Yard: A Case of Prejudice (2.2, LWT, 1972)

"Now, what about this audience - do you know any of them?"

"A lot of them, some of them are friends of mine, they live in the street."

"Black and white or... all black?"

"Both, black and white. That's what this is all about, right?"

"That's what what's all about?"

"This place, this street, this district, this killing."

"Tell me what you mean by that, please."

"This was a community venture; I spent ten years in this district trying to get people together: black and white, together. That's what my play's all about, right? Simple people power. Look, my play says that white power is finished, but there is always a chance that -"

"I don't think we want to go into politics, Mr. Buckingham."

"No, go on, please."

"You don't want to go into it? But that is why Charlie was killed!"

I feel like Lockwood and Lucy's dramatically opposing moral and philosophical perspectives on the major issue affecting their lives would continue to be a point of contention in their working and personal relationship but also if they had computers Lockwood would post 'AITA for hating my gf's friends (they are evil ghosts)' and get shredded by reddit for being another guy who can't appreciate the weird queen he somehow pulled.

🇺🇸 September 23, 1991: on this day, the production of the Ford Falcon came to an end at the General Pacheco plant in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

🏭 The Ford Motor Argentina company began assembling Ford Falcon units on January 10, 1962, at their La Boca plant in Buenos Aires. National manufacturing of the Ford Falcon began on July 15, 1963, with the first Argentine body built on April 30 of the same year.

🎉 The final unit produced was a platinum gray Ford Falcon GL, which was raffled among the 6,000 workers of Autolatina Argentina. The lucky winner was Emilio Félix Pogliotto, an employee at the Transax Puente Box Plant in Córdoba. This last unit marked the end of an era, with a total of 494,209 units manufactured.

🔧 By 1982, only 46 of the 3,500 parts that made up the Ford Falcon were common to the original 1962 model, showcasing the extensive nationalization and transformation the car underwent over 29 years of production.

[falderaletcetera]

gotta say, pretty much everyone who left a poor review on the tsuranga conundrum on imdb (the episode has an alien dude who's heavily pregnant, treated serously by the story) would not survive hanging out with aliens at an outer space bar, and would not survive diplomacy with any alien race. they can stay home while we go out and dance greet the universe, okay? okay.
