Friday Ephemeraren’t

Our betters at work.
Could any regular person get away with double parking?

“Going to the bathroom on Apollo missions was one of the least pleasant things you could possibly imagine”.
And on the subject of space, this has to be the coolest school science project ever.

Yep Sam, sort your shit out.

Sam, both your links go to the same video.
I think we can all agree that Sam’s duplicated link has ruined the internet for everyone, forever.

“What universities have done is beyond forgiveness.”

Bari Weiss interviews Jordan Peterson.

Meanwhile, a theft of note.

“Infinite genders”

“Infinite genders”
Heh. As one of the Quillette commenters says, “Many of the protesters appear to be living in an orthogonal reality to ours, and to have no interest in having their misunderstandings corrected.” I think that’s pretty much the nuts of it. Their self-flattering psychodrama demands monsters, and so they see monsters.

Sam is worse than Hitler.
Not to worry, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is literally Hitler, and not “diverse” enough.

We have the 19th-century ideal of strength in unity — expressed in the “Ode to Joy” — scraping up uneasily against a 21st-century ideal of strength in diversity.

Someone in The Great White North has his toque on too tight.

The sea pictures are great in and of themselves but isn’t the photographer rather undermining his message that “We are brutally overfishing in our oceans”, by showing them absolutely teeming with fish?

Leprechauns! Leprechauns in Alabama!
Though could be a crack head. Don’t be afraid though, bro. Check out the artist’s sketch.

Sigh… karma; comment on someone else’s link, and yours goes bad…

I take it Sam is now too embarrassed to come back and fix his second link. Either that or he’s off at some white supremacist rally goose stepping around to Beethoven’s Ninth. Probably the latter.

“Sam” spelled backwards is MAS. MAS is an Italian torpedo boat. Italy was where modern Fascism started under Mussolini. Hitler admired Mussolini. More proof that Sam is literally Hitler. Or maybe just an Italian torpedo boat, but still. Also,I heard he likes vanilla ice cream.

In an email to Northeastern University, [economics professor, Mark] Perry argues that [sociology professor, Suzanna] Walters violated the school’s own “Policy on Equal Opportunity” which “prohibits discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, religious creed, genetic information, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, national origin, ancestry, veteran or disability status.”
“She has not only publicly demonized and belittled all males at Northeastern University, she called out publicly for the universal hatred of all men, including all men at your university,” he wrote. “That makes Ms. Walters a confirmed sexist and bigot in violation of Title IX and your university’s own stated policies that prohibit such discrimination.”
Perry suggested that Northeastern should prevent Walters from teaching male students, or have sway on decisions relating to male colleagues in her department, and be forced to partake in diversity training/anger management courses to address her sexism.

Heh.

It’s amazing what you can find in a Dutch canal:

The Association for Library Science for Children doesn’t literally burn books … they don’t have to.

Reason #411
Come to Texas! If we’re going to get Californians anyway, it would be nice if they were the (ever diminishing) sane ones.

The Association for Library Science for Children doesn’t literally burn books…
I’m a librarian at a junior college, and I had an amusing moment just this past week. One of the Humanities faculty (a Sociology instructor) accosted me and asked why we had a particular book available as it was, in his words “garbage”. The book was The Big Lie by Dinesh D’Souza.
Now I think I need to put together a display that includes TBL along with _Liberal Fascism_, _The True Believer_, _America Alone_, _The Bell Curve_, and any other non-PC books I can find in the collection. Maybe during National Brotherhood Week.

It’s strange how often “diversity” translates as “purity.”
A number of years ago, I had reason to do some business with a brewery in New Ulm, Minnesota. At the time, the town had been featured on a silly list of “least diverse towns in America,” and so I gave them a bit of ribbing over the honor.
To his credit, the brewery rep didn’t miss a beat. He replied, “Actually, we prefer the terminology ‘most pure.’ ”
Prolly goes without saying that he shot to the top of my list of favorite sales reps, and I was happy to buy a lot of his beer. Drank a fair bit of it, too.

David, I’m paying for WTP’s drinks tonight.

Leprechauns! Leprechauns in Alabama!
“This flute was passed down from my great-great-grandfather who was Irish” (must have been black Irish…)

Only open borders, anti-law enforcement people should be allowed to eat at Mexican restaurants.

Speaking of Sam’s Hugo Boss wardrobe, some are now deep into full retard territory.

The New Yorker used to be a highbrow magazine.
Used to be? When did the promotion ever occur?
It’s not in the Google view, but a bit later Fussell comments on. . .

A young woman lawyer in a large New York firm who likes to watch Shakespeare on Educational Television and to frequent restaurants said to serve gourmet food. “The New Yorker is practically my Bible,” she says.
She is hopelessly middle-class, and probably consumed with secret bitterness that she’s not made upper-middle.
