Friday Ephemera
“This Fall, lightning strikes three times!” || This. (h/t, Julia) || That. || A bit of the other. || At last, a miracle breakthrough in atomised butter consumption. || Always respect the media. || Merging, self-healing ‘bots. || Man’s best friend. || The tasty parts of pigs. || Japanese slot machines of yore. || ESL students learn new gender pronouns. || Sweet dreams. (h/t, dicentra) || On nickel weeklies and dime novels. || Today’s word is mindset. || Meanwhile, in Sweden, love is in the air. || Sport is too competitive and must be reformed, says feminist academic. || A brief history of gated reverb. || Shredding golden slime. || And finally, a little-known episode of space travel history: “Pieces of faecal matter free-floated around the command module for several minutes.” A whodunnit ensues.
On nickel weeklies and dime novels.
Dime novelist and his tea, tea, I tell you, it’s in a teacup!!!
“This Fall, lightning strikes three times!”
Lightnin’ is striking me again and again and again and again
A whodunnit ensues.
[ Uncharacteristically resists temptation to make obvious Close Encounters pun. Checks temperature. ]
The “mindset” girl, Dawn Lifsey, waving the Antifa flag at the victims of communism statue is such a sweet girl. She even offered to pay the bail of anyone who “put a bullet” into Milo’s head.
I’m really looking forward to 2019, when she leaves Clemson with her sports communication degree and goes looking for work.
“Always respect the media.”
They’re just inventing their own reality now.
“Man’s best friend.”
Dogs are pack animals, you know.
“Today’s word is mindset.”
Wait… did I miss something? You’d think that kind of thing would make the news.
Kind of ironic that a group calling itself “Students for a Democratic Society” should be so hostile to a replica of the Goddess of Democracy, though. They really need to sit down and take a damned good look at themselves.
I can’t help thinking of Mitchell & Webb’s Nazi sketch. “Hans… are we the baddies?”
“A brief history of gated reverb.”
Or, as I recall one reviewer perfectly describe it, “steelworks drums”.
Sorry for the source but I did happen upon this item which may be of interest to budding lawyers around the world. He was just clumsy people!

Oh, come on Trevor, get your Pieces of faecal matter together!
Sure it’s been linked here before but – for more quasi-retro fun, behold: KUNG FURY.
(And its trailer.)
We don’t need you to stand by and hold hands and sing Kumbaya as armed white supremacists destroy entire cities.
Wait… did I miss something? You’d think that kind of thing would make the news.
Oh, that did make the news, but that was also 1939 through 1945. Now, what the AntiFreeAmendment lot haven’t explained is what they have to do with any sort of understanding of history.
They really need to sit down and take a damned good look at themselves.
In Ms Lifsey’s case, I doubt that self-knowledge will make a voluntary appearance.
Robot conductor.
High-rise rafting.
Or, as I recall one reviewer perfectly describe it, “steelworks drums”.
I’m now tempted to dig out Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love album.
“Pieces of faecal matter free-floated around the command module for several minutes.” A whodunnit ensues.
That never happened in Star Trek.
Today’s word is mindset.
That’s not the word I was thinking of….
The tasty parts of pigs.
I highly recommend Scott Rea’s butchery channel for meat fans: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_t4Om5siqqFtVGd639Z0Q
That never happened in Star Trek.
I’m sure it was a deleted scene from Voyager’s Year of Hell.
“Watch out, Neelix!”
“I’ve got it on my shirt!”
“love is in the air”
Looks like rape, because he did not get the forest’s consent.
“I’ve got it on my shirt!”
😀
Students for a Democratic Society was a Soviet-funded front group in the 1960’s. That they’re behaving like this isn’t terribly surprising. It’s in their DNA.
The Thor trailer was fascinating. Along with Kung Fury, it shows how much direction has changed over the years (one subtle thing it missed, though: average shot length has been getting shorter dramatically over time. There are too many quick cuts in that trailer).

Still, it has a certain… something.

I’m faintly surprised that record stores still exist.

Not too long ago, the left’s darling race hustler Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote a Black Panther comic series, sales of which immediately fell through the floor, catastrophically, resulting in the series being cancelled after just two issues. Despite being heaped with praise by the “social justice” contingent, it turns out there’s not much of an actual paying market for ludicrously dogmatic anti-white racism in comic book form.
I’ve only seen a couple of Meyers’ videos, which were actually quite boring, but from what I can make out, his supposedly “hateful rhetoric” amounts to frank but legitimate criticism – of identitarian tokenism and two-dimensional characters. As when noting the aforementioned racism, and how Coates twisted well-liked characters to suit his own, rather depraved politics, such that they behaved erratically, even by the standards of superheroes, and sourly, and suddenly started spouting grating racial diatribes.

re M-F-S:
Life is kinda funny that way, ain’t it? I’m sure Marxism can fix that too, you just gotta reaaaaly belieeeeeve.
“The Case of the Trotskyite Trollop,” as Rod Dreher dubbed it. She certainly gets points for honesty–she summed it all up in her signature, “Marxist-Feminist Slut.”
re MFSlut
This is a perpetual child who wants to be taken care of and have ALL the toys.
Too bad the advice columnist didn’t tell her to grow up prior to pursuing an adult relationship.

Well, that is the appeal of Marxoid posturing, a kind of political neoteny. That, and spite.
Zuckerberg is apparently one of those humans which were built to last.
More like if humans were built to be eaten by something larger and fiercer…
The MFS also seem to have a case of the smugs.

She’s 32 and the clock is ticking. I wonder if the smug, or the pretence of smug, will stretch to forty.

Looks like the guy with the handgun stuck down the front of his pants is courting a future career as a castrato.
Oh yeah, he went there.

I can’t top Leprechaun Hezbolla Man, but then we have Mexican Carry Spike Lee, ready to blow his nads off and the stunning red shoes that sort of defeat the purpose of his surplus store USAF camo pants.
I am sorry to see Godfrey Elfwick was gone over to the dark side, but bare feet are the height of tactical readiness. I am not sure why he is so angry, though, the bow and arrow are stunning. Even money says the dude on the end has no clue how to field strip that thing.
Oh well, I guess it will be the most colorful conflict since the French gave up Zouaves.

Related, this, by Stephanie S:
That pretentious, incongruous victimhood is a caricature, a grievance-studies blackface, doesn’t seem to occur to such people.
“Laughing at Blazing Saddles will be illegal.”
Even the campfire scene?

Well, when you see minority students from comfortable backgrounds – students who enjoy racial favouritism in university admissions, and who are cossetted to a degree that few of us will experience – claiming to be oppressed by basic grammar, or by an allegedly “insensitive” buffet, or who claim that their “black and brown bodies” will be “erased” and “marginalised” by having to share an entrance lobby with other students, then the air of caricature is hard to miss.

Not entirely unrelated:
As The Other Half noted a few minutes ago, the smug leftists whose disdain for half the country gave rise to Trump continue to frame half the country as the villains in their own culture.
Meanwhile, at yet another “elite” university, the campus newspaper Independent Editorial Board gets shut down for not being sufficiently Woke™.
Once, just once, I wish these asshats would come up with something original. Regarding Sarah’s claim that leftist boilerplate (interesting that zer called it “programming”) is not actually “liberal”, you will be surprised to note that:
Unpossible ! RTWT, Sarah gets her Orwell on later.
Spiny Norm:
It got better still; in response to the quite reasonable “Simple solution: Don’t look down”, he gave us:
Because naturally, in the world of competitive victimhood-by-proxy, all flooring decisions should be constrained by the needs of the demented/vision-impaired, spinal-damage community. Whether the same principle applies to women’s-wear isn’t stated.
noting that the series’ primary villains — an extremist Klingon sect — scream “Remain Klingon,” something deliberately reminiscent of “Make America Great Again.”
. . . . Make
We don’t care what you say you believe in or what you say your identity is and instead we care about what you do, anyone working with anyone else can play, complete separation of our government view and practice from the limited whims of some faith based church, absolutely you get to have your own beliefs instead of being told what to believe, you have the ability and opportunity to get stuff done where you can certainly do what others are doing and they can do what you are doing . . .

—hang on, which Klingons? Given that, As I Recall, this takes place before the original series and after Enterprise do you mean the rather more standard than not variety that has the forehead ridges, do you mean the ones with the Klingon Augmentation virus, do you mean the ones in a monastery or so, do you mean . . . .
Given that, especially with the US, country does not equate with DNA/food preference/propensity to inflict Morris Dancing/some other variable, perhaps a bit more clarity could occur???
From the Stephanie S link above:
And in case Roddenberry couldn’t subtlety get the point across …
Which, now 50 years later, would have him condemned as a white supremacist for trying to ‘erase black bodies’.
