Friday Ephemera
Earthbound telescopes taking pictures of space, as seen by telescopes in space taking pictures of Earth. // John Carpenter’s The Thing – storyboard-to-film comparisons. // Mishap with pet. // Enforcing manners. // Designer dog coats. // Retro keyboard. (h/t, Rafi) // This is one of these. // Why Marvel’s films are generally better than DC’s. // Why it’s unwise to take Salon seriously. // Thomas Sowell on personal responsibility. And on thug culture. // Upscale falcon transportation. // His first attempt. (h/t, Damian) // Ten metre tower. // Eye candy. // Eye candy 2. // All done with dandelions. // Lava stream. // Assorted gifs. // Reaction gif generator. // And finally, fragrantly, “I used a long Q-tip to extract some residue from my vagina in order to use it for my perfume.”
That lofree keyboard appears to be designed for the worst kind of dull hipster prat, the kind with a hipster exclusivity desire for a mechanical keyboard and none other, with none of the actual functional utility and classic qualities of the type.
Model M or “Das Keyboard” not being good enough, it must be an Apple-centric fashion accessory? “Boring and clicky”? Pistols at dawn, sirrah.

For an actual viable keyboard design from the history of keyboards, there will be a thumb driven trackball attached on one side, and to quote Jerry Pournelle, Left hand–or right hand—function keys, the way god intended.
Enforcing manners.
Can we call that social justice?
“The snake saw the hole and went fo it.”
Patriarchy in action.
Pleased to note that the dog coats will not be inflicted on dogs, only on bitches: “Breast size”

“I used a long Q-tip to extract some residue from my vagina in order to use it for my perfume.”
Residue from my gentleman’s wand hasn’t worked yet.
I wonder what I’m doing wrong?.
Lava stream.
Cliffs collapse at Hawaii volcano, stopping ‘firehose’ flow.
I read “designer dog coats” and thought “Cruella deVille has started a clothing line?”
