Friday Ephemera
So how was your day at work, darling? (h/t, Damian) || Upgrade. || Her dessert is much fancier than yours. || Nun armed with chainsaw does her bit to help. || Trek nerdology. || A taste of New York. || BBC Pidgin. || Pro tip. || Perverse objects. || Genes and Marmite. || Robotic gams. || Aliens the size of guinea pigs. || A pile of Python. || She chose poorly. || Cat vacuuming. Do try it at home and let us know how it goes. || “Yes, but technically, I’m inside it.” || Street art. || They do this better than you do. || “A person can control it like a car.” || Zero to four hundred, and back, in forty-two seconds. || 30 days at sea. || Drawing on water. || This. || That. || A bit of the other. (h/t, Obnoxio) || Cassini’s farewell photos. || And finally, the man who survived not one but two atomic bombings.
Marble Beauty is a bit scary.
Feline vitiligo, same as human except most of us aren’t fur covered…
Didn’t know there was such a thing as feline vitiligo!
I may be a bit scarce for a while because boring old real life has more demands than usual, but I will make sure to drop in every so often and whine about same.
: HIC :
Why thnaks to ever’one. Much ‘preciated.
Are them pickl’d eggs in dat jar some kinda dare?
Well, once you fix the italics, you’ll prolly stop seeing everything at an angle.
Lessee.
That should do it.
Oh dear, did the background support go wonky?
Oh, indeed . . . apparently a pair of iterating italicisers, there.
—All right, Spiny, for your penance, say that five times fast, or figure out the ameliorating alternate . . .
Very strange. It looked fine in the preview…
Mr Yamaguchi.
The luckiest or unluckiest man in the world?. One of those half-empty/half-full conundrums.
[Looks at barkeep].
Waits…
[ Picked egg rolls along bar, accumulating fluff and debris as it approaches… ]
Today’s words are “anti-fascist.” Also, adjunct professor.
See the educator airing his brains here.
“Also, adjunct professor”
I notice the esteemed adjunct complains about living in “this ahistorical world” (0.53s).
I guess he’s opposed to removing statues and other artefacts then?
I guess he’s opposed to removing statues and other artefacts then?
There do seem to be some common, recurring features among such people. The self-flattery and sense of entitlement; the grandiose unrealism; and the emotional instability.
I guess he’s opposed to removing statues and other artefacts then?
And then there’s the striking mental dissonance and double standards. As when professing his entitlement to physically intimidate and assault people with whom he disagrees – to shut them down and silence them, violently – and publicly wishing murder on the “future cops” that he’s employed to teach – and then, when suspended for this, complaining, “So much for free speech, I guess.”
It’s an imperviousness to contradiction more typically found in children.
If anyone wants to poke around in the adjunct professor’s Twitter feed, by all means knock yourselves out.
Oh, and by the way, Dr Isaacson thinks the TV interview linked above “went great.”
Self-knowledge, it ain’t for everyone.
Oh go on then…..I was tempted to poke around adjunct’s twitter and noticed this vid of Robert Lee’ statue being removed.

Ahistorical indeed.
Great fisticuffs on all the threads too.
https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/media-40969682 I would like to hear John Humphrys delivery the 1-minute pidgin news review, or Jim Davidson.
sneeze,
“I would like to hear John Humphrys delivery the 1-minute pidgin news review, or Jim Davidson.”
John Humphrys doing it would be praised as paying homage to the noble savage.
Jim Davidson would be character assassinated as a Nazi, bigot racist.
Have you noticed as well how (former Laureate?) Aung San Suu Kyi is being transformed into a deemed bigot now she is in conflict with the highest ranked victim group?
The self-flattery and sense of entitlement; the grandiose unrealism; and the emotional instability.
And then there’s the striking mental dissonance and double standards.
My lies are not lies, they are the truth. My truth.
Oh, and by the way, Dr Isaacson thinks the TV interview linked above “went great.”
Not everyone is down with the prof. (NSFW for language)
Not everyone is down with the prof.
Heh. The, um, elongation does lend itself to his favourite expression.
Which I’d describe as self-satisfied.
Today’s words are “anti-fascist.” Also, adjunct professor.
Meh. Hire a hipster, get a hipster . . .

He’s literally looking down his nose at us.
The, um, elongation…
All this time I had always thought “pencil necked” was just a euphemism. Who knew ?
Today’s words are “anti-fascist.”
Among his more delusional rantings is that anti-communist (because he is an anarcho-communist because of course he is) = fascist. This will,of course, come as a great surprise to all those who fled the USSR, East Germany, Cuba, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, North Korea, and communist China.
Oh,, wait, those weren’t really real communist-communist. Sorry.
See the educator airing his brains here.
The puzzled look on Tucker Carleson’s face when he, rhetorically I presume, asks, “Do you teach students?” It’s like he just woke from a Rip Van Winkle.
He’s literally looking down his nose at us.
And being amused by the thought of future police officers, his own students, being murdered, is “critiquing policing.”
And speaking of adults who probably shouldn’t be left unsupervised near impressionable youngsters.
“I’m defending myself!”
Obligatory:

I wonder if he takes advantage of his physical attribute at Halloween.

Science!
Similar to pencil neck, but more human.

I recommend watching the 30 days at sea at full-screen resolution. It’s magnificent.
The Last Southern Gentlemen, and a tune as you have never heard before.
So, that old guy was defending himself, or what? He sounds like his brain got stuck.
He’s literally looking down his nose at us.
Finally an answer to the question, “What if Jafar from Disney’s Aladdin had a gay nephew?”
. . . and a tune as you have never heard before.
A bit reminiscent of Tommy and the song Pinball Wizard.
