Friday Ephemera
Even if you feel a very strong urge, don’t try this at home. // Age of Tin Man. // User preference. (h/t, Kristian) // Throwable panoramic ball camera. // Unfortunate technical gaffe of note. // How to detect a nuclear weapon test. // Chicago below. // Sweet Dreams banjo-style. // More joys of public transport. // The puzzle of baldness. // She’s a big girl. // Battle of wits. (h/t, Dr W) // Ice cream in Cuba. “I thought this was a bus stop.” // Crash helmets of note. // Tiny hand-thrown pottery. // Parts of speech. // Restoration. // “An erratic structure brought to life by mechanical agitations.” // Mechanical calculator. // Victorian data visualisation. // At last, your very own bioluminescent desktop dinoflagellates. // And finally, for the adventurous, hold on to your lunch.

Another great moment in local council efficiency.
More joys of public transport.
Number 23… words fail me.

Yes, the term human being covers a wide range of material.

More trigger warning commentary . . .

Actually I’m taking a stand against the patriarchal notion of competence
That would explain the journalism.
Protests involving the dumping of tea? Meh, it’s been done. She’s not even original.
You know, I think that might be the first recorded sighting of a sense of humour in Laurie Penny. Reads like self-deprecation and an undercutting of her usual THE WORLD IS ON FIRE routine to me.
It’s the end of days 😮
That she feels the need to broadcast such a pointless, inconsequential thing as knocking a cup of tea over, however – and that said pointless utterance is framed in such a way as to assume that the reader cares enough to have an opinion on the event – suggests her self-obsession and self-importance remain as monumental as ever.
Actually, given her history, I doubt she spilled a cup of tea at all.
Complacent snake schooled by badass bunny. Impressive backflip at 1′ 15″.
