Friday Ephemera
Do try this at home and let us know how it goes. || Giants among us. || Made of chocolate. || Kitchen contentment. || Cosplay of note. || I can’t be entirely sure, but I think he’s looking at you. || An interview with Heather Mac Donald. || Somewhat unimpressed. || A Muhammadan holy man speaks. (h/t, Damian) || “Khomeini was not Iranian. He was a Hindu living in Britain.” || Today’s word is burn. (h/t, Darleen) || On complicated bin collection. || Metamorphosing beetle of note. || He folds paper better than you do. || A cappella Deep Note. || “It sounds like your ass cheeks are too close together.” || The timing’s a little out, but still. || Intersection. || This happened. || The doomsday bunkers of your dreams. (h/t, Things) || And finally, fashionably, raincoats for your trainers.
Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, died from an infection that a simple antibiotic could have cured.
Sociology Professor Suzanna Danuta Walters has a message for 49% of the population:
So men, if you really are #WithUs and would like us to not hate you for all the millennia of woe you have produced and benefited from, start with this: Lean out so we can actually just stand up without being beaten down. Pledge to vote for feminist women only. Don’t run for office. Don’t be in charge of anything. Step away from the power. We got this. And please know that your crocodile tears won’t be wiped away by us anymore. We have every right to hate you. You have done us wrong. #BecausePatriarchy.
You will no doubt be shocked to discover that the author of this well-balanced and reasonable plea is also the Director of a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program.

If you wanted to find people who are psychologically dysfunctional and/or have borderline personalities, or people who are simply obnoxious by default, the nearest Gender Studies department would seem to be a pretty good place to start. The concentration among devotees does seem to be remarkably high. It would, I think, make for an interesting paper.
“people who are psychologically dysfunctional and/or have borderline personalities”
But is it a prerequisite for or result of Clown Quarter studies?
But is it a prerequisite for or result of Clown Quarter studies?
I could only guess, but I suspect the Clown Quarter attracts a high concentration of unhappy, resentful people and then gives them a rationalisation to act out their urges. Like a fig leaf for malice.
Right, it’s warm, the birds are singing, and I’m off to a family barbecue. Try not to accidentally oppress anyone while I’m away.

Ya know…it’s thanks to women such as her and the latest wave of feminism that has caused me to pledge to myself to not vote for women. Not unless I get a real strong feeling from them that they are very much opposed to this idiocy…and even then I’m suspicious. Actually, I blame women in general for the acceleration of the nanny state. No sooner did they get the vote here in the US and they shoved Prohibition at us. Sometimes I think the Volstead act wasn’t the only thing that needed to be repealed.
Try not to accidentally oppress anyone while I’m away.
No worries, patriarchal oppression is never accidental.
has caused me to pledge to myself to not vote for women.
This. Barring a Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama situation, I’ll vote Patriarchy (rule by fathers) every time.
I’d really like to see all these penis-envying wymyn go found a colony of their own, wherein they start naked in the wilderness and show us how they’ve never needed any men. It’d be like Wakanda, only all female!
Ran across this cuteness:
PS … when someone parodied her cartoon – she got all offended (scroll down a bit).
Damn it, David, the minute you left sonebody started oppressing me. I want a refund.
Darleen, I couldn’t even figure out what the Forum Rules were trying to say.
Don’t know about France, but in the U.S. parody is protected as fair use.
Darleen,
HA! The “plot twist” and the wave of
offensehilarity are well, hilarious.(4Chan managed to get involved in this and I missed it.)
Step away from the power. We got this.
“We’ll be totally in control if you go out of your way in indulging us.”
I’m reminded of how Muhammad’s womanizing and more misogynistic practices remained leashed until after the death of his first wife, a very wealthy, older widow who had supported him financially while also encouraging him to believe he was the Most Special and Perfect Boy of All Time.
But is it a prerequisite for or result of Clown Quarter studies?
Yes.
Also, since nearly ALL “sub-reddits” could legitimately be labeled “r/Cringe” (not as ridiculous as Tumblr, but still…), this one calling itself “r/CringeAnarchy”, apparently mocking the Reddit culture itself, is actually very funny. Ironically enough, a sub-reddit 4Chan people might welcome to their adolescent club.

For someone who makes a major thing about how she doesn’t give a f**k, she sure says f**k a lot. And about a lot of things.
I wonder if the people complaining about the appropation of bologna have ever paused a moment to consider the name Bologna and the origin of the delicacy…
Re the recent Happy Meal post on Professor Livingston and his anti-white posturing, an update may amuse.

Short answer, no, nor the origin of plain white bread upon which it is traditionally served when fried.

The economics of malignant narcissism.
On behalf of poodles, generally the most intelligent dogs there are, I take issue with comparing Zinnia to a poodle.
He (Zinnia) appears to be running out of ways to yell “LOOK AT ME!” That, as Roseanne Barr discovered, is the problem when your act is based on shock value: you have to keep upping the ante, a particularly tough thing to do in a society where you have to compete with 10- year-old drag queens.
Zinnia versus the robots of Mars. And the “white working class.”

Who knew that I actually wrote a a story about her.
Farnsworth,
Meanwhile, an old favorite has difficulty with the meaning of “essential”.
Oh my, that has to be the most impressive Twitter “ratio” I’ve ever seen. It’s astonishing, and “she” probably thinks it proves “her” assertion.
(Unless she still thinks they’re all Russian bots.)
Not entirely unrelated.
“Step away from the power. We got this.”
I’m looking at Angela Merkel, Theresa May, Nicola Bloody* Sturgeon, and Hillary Clinton, and humbly beg to differ.
(Hey, I’m not saying the chaps have been doing a bang-up job either lately. But I’m a libertarian. I don’t think anyone “got this”, if “this” is micromanaging multi-million-strong populations. How about you all try stepping away from the power for a bit?)
*Real name. Honest. At least, it is round my way.

So the professor reported to latrine duty. Since there was no more Internet, when she finished her shift she took a can of black spray paint and wrote on every flat surface she could find, “Keeping the latrine clean is the most important thing ever! Without clean latrines, we’d all die of some contagious disease!”
Within a week she had groups of similarly useless people sitting around discussing cleaning the latrines, rather than doing it. Within two weeks she was teaching the “Latrines 101” class. Within three weeks she presented Stevens with a list of their demands, including more latrine cleaners of color, more female cleaners, and more LGBTQWERTY cleaners. They occupied the latrines, forcing people to poop in the field.
Within four weeks they’d all died of a contagious disease.
The End.

After a natural disaster knocks out electrical service in one region, electric companies in other regions will dispatch convoys of trucks to help get the grid back up ASAP. Reciprocal assistance arrangements. Nobody ever makes such plans for the emergency deployment of SJW jackasses in the event that the local one all fly up their own butts. Nobody.
However, David has made arrangements for the deployment of henchlesbians to hand out credit notes in lieu of refunds.
I checked out Zinnia’s act on Youtube. I don’t think it’ll last.
You want a shock-act where genuine talent was also involved, discover Alice Cooper. “Alice Cooper Goes To Hell” is as much fun today as it ever was.
Alice, whose real name is Vincent Fournier, is now a happily retired grandfather.
Change of topic, though it’s been circulating for a few days: Because, baseball.
Also, a moment of silence for Red Schoendienst, if you please.
Opposition Leader in Australia Bill Shorten is becoming woke. The ‘white fellas’ comments he made on Aboriginal children hasn’t been lost on Jacinta Price, who has taken him to the cleaners. Worth the listen.

This has been tried, in fact.
As our host would say, our betters.

…our betters.
Right, amazing how much press a high school dropout who hasn’t made a serious movie since 1995 gets just for swearing at the president.
As our host would say, our betters.
I think that one deserves a post, and thread, of its own. Thanks very much.
