Prepare My Bathosub
Right, I’m off for a few days, a holiday of sorts. Chiefly, it’s to attend a niece’s wedding at a fancy country house in the middle of nowhere, but it’s also an opportunity to not think about whatever pretentious agonising is in fashion this week among our self-imagined betters. By all means use the comments to share links and bicker while I’m away. And for God’s sake, use coasters.
Oh, and while I remember, via Dicentra, this. And via Damian, this.
Racism quiz.

…the only possible explanation is that they hate me and want to kill me.
“People who don’t accept jabrwok as Lord and Master are insecure about their own divinity and divine identity so they take it out on other divine beings rather than being adults and getting over it.”
Come to think of it, this sounds scarily believable, given the personalities we’re looking at.

“A rider came amongst them and divided them in two,
Saying “Permitted!” and “Forbidden!” of all manner of things…”
A Massachusetts Republican (who knew there was such a thing) goes full Alinsky.
The bill was pulled because he ran out the clock on the deadline for passing the thing because of the 73 separate debate/votes.
Right, I am not at all sure waht a “non-human person” is,
The professor seems inhuman.
I’m pretty sure did prof hasn’t undergone terrigenisis…
In today’s edition of “Academics Gone Wild”…
Men should say “menopause” three times a day.
Maybe it is like the shahada, say it three times and you turn into a “male feminist”.
Let me guess, this will involve government mandates.
Desk fans, it seems like only yesterday they were complaining that office air conditioning was too cold.
That is on the third Tuesday of every month, the fourth Friday is the Enlarged Prostate Bar and Grill.

Man, this remake of Beetlejuice looks even worse than I feared!
Is it even worth looking up Dr. Davies’ bio to see if she’s a woman of a certain age, or can we just take that for granted? Not that I’d ever suggest that this sort of initiative is usually a variation of “look at me!” dressed up in sympathetic trappings, mind you. Perish the thought!
…the fourth Friday is the Enlarged Prostate Bar and Grill.
I thought that was every night around three.
This is interesting and likely to be mildly controversial:

I read elsewhere that the cafe will be open monthly at first, then further and further apart, before stopping altogether.
…likely to be mildly controversial…
Yes, in much the same was as the battle of Stalingrad as mildly controversial.
The paper is from 2012, and of course author Jean-Phillipe Rustion has been declared by the Southern Poverty Law Center (AKA, The Shame of Alabama) to be an extremist because, whether his conclusions are right or wrong, he has had wrongthought about race.
Some people are racists and transracialphobes, who knows what these allegedly wypipo identify as ?
There is virtue signalling, and totally pointless virtue signalling.
You just know that these halfwits roll their eyes and say “I know, right?” any time somebody mentions the ‘conspicuous consumption’ of the Eighties.
There’s none so blind as who refuse to see.
Dudes, racism in America is still a very serious problem. This guy I work with was riding in a car with some black friends when they got stopped by the cops. Totally heard all about it. True story.
First menopausal equality, now, menstrual equality
Actually, with the exception of a very, very, few anatomic abnormalities, yes they are. Someday this insanity is going to blow up like Krakatoa.
I’ve noticed orange tabby cats and orange-and-white cats tend to be the friendliest, followed by black cats. Siamese-colored alley cats seem the most frightened of people; maybe the Siamese-ing gene affects alley cats differently than it affects honest-to-God Siamese, by which I mean the pointed cat called wichien maat in Thailand, and fairly pure breeding lines thereof. the Siamese-ing gene is spreading rapidly through the U. S. cat population, and, cat behavior being what it is, this is likely to continue.
Haven’t personally noticed any color difference in aggression in dogs, but it’s common knowledge that red cocker spaniels are fairly likely to flip out and attack their owners; see also “Springer spaniel rage syndrome.”
Don’t have enough experience with farm animals to offer an opinion.
“I have to navigate the challenges of getting my period every month in a world that refuses to acknowledge that not everyone who gets their period is a woman…”
Yes. Yes you do. And if you could ‘navigate’ without quite so much tantrum-throwing, the rest of us would be much obliged.
I, for one, have to navigate the challenges of wearing a hat every time I go outside in a world that refuses to acknowledge that not everybody’s scalp is protected by hair, and yet you don’t see me filming myself on the toilet singing plaintive tunes about it, now do you?
There is virtue signalling, and totally pointless virtue signalling.

Cultural enrichment or hardcore libertarianism you decide.

Interesting video on almond milk production.
Meanwhile in Ontario
That’s next door to me. And it’s deliberate. Those crosswalks have been getting a lot of damage since they went up.
We only had one tortie, who was very sweet, but didn’t like to stay in the house. The barn was hers and she wanted to stay there no matter how cold it got. When it hit 20 below you’d bring her in and she’d pace impatiently in front of the door in between bouts of patrolling the windows.
We’ve had two torties now. The first I loved dearly and had to bathe once; I lost. The second I also love dearly, but occasionally call her our “psycho bitch” because of how she treats our other cat. Torties are special.

Unpossible, that would suggest people don’t like pandering politicians forcing upon them various virtue signals, positions, and ideologies.
As it is Friday, in the spirit of Ephemera, the latest in probiotic drinks; redneck art, featuring deer butt alien heads; a tourist bus; for the USAsians, how free is your state ? To no one’s surprise, NY, Hawaii, and California are the bottom three, though to be fair, there are some silly metrics.
Enrichment.

No, that’s the desired behaviour. You see, all the grocery stores sell reusable woven grocery bags made of recycled plastic manufactured in China.
Bring a handful of plastic bags from another store. Maybe charge them a .05 bag fee.
how free is your state
Heh. Florida, freest state in the land of the free. Georgia #12. Tennessee #7….and Texas #21. My wife lived in Texas for a few years back in the late 70’s/early 80’s. Back then their Blue Laws prohibited the sale of kitchen ware on Sundays. Absurd.
As I’m missing the Friday Ephemera, here’s a map showing all the countries where the Queen can be charged with a crime:

Only because of the parts attached to Alabama and Georgia, south of Crystal River is Northeast-Lite.
Hmmm. They misspelled “so hot Tarzan couldn’t stand it”, and after, “…well off retirees…” left off, “…stacked like cordwood south of Jupiter and around Tampa Bay and crazy mad to vote for democrats just like they did in New York.”
Meanwhile, employment opportunities before universities invented Angry & Useless Studies departments, and ♫ We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when…♫.
Dateline Hollywood, where original ideas died long ago, Bewitched get a reboot.
It never ends, it wouldn’t surprise me to find Samantha’s kid is a “trans” something or other too.
Tell me I’m wrong.
Only because of the parts attached to Alabama and Georgia, south of Crystal River is Northeast-Lite.
Yes….Georgia at #12 and Allahbama at #28 gots us to #1. It’s that addition by subtraction thing. I’d say our Northeast-lite ones are only here because we are freer. Though I would agree with you that they, or more likely their remoras, will likely be what ultimately drags us down. Much like Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, etc. What I find interesting every Christmas, as we take our annual drive up from FtL through coastal Broward and Palm Beach before crossing the Intracoastal and heading up I-95, is the incredible wealth on the coast and the miserable poverty in West Palm Beach. A tribute to those Kennedys and Posts and other patrician types.

You’re not wrong.
And how are they going to square making Darren a “slacker” (and object of derision, I’m assuming) with Samantha not just marrying him but staying with him and having him as dad to her child?
In the original Darren was a good provider, husband & dad and the couple was loving.
Revolting Maolings

Well yeah, a big positive up north offsets the negatives down south where the people are packed like sardines.
Besides, it is a CATO thing which means Alabama got down dinged for not having a lottery, county by county liquor laws, and no “let’s all smoke dope” legislation, and being a bunch of beltway bubbleheads, they will all want to move to God’s Waiting Room when they retire so of course they are going to skew the score.
Also, I am sure the good people of Alabama like the bubbleheads to give a low score so it keeps the riff raff from north of the Line of Mason and Dixon away.
RE Bewitched reboot: It’s incredibly insulting to even suggest that a strong black single mom “needs” a man in her life, especially a white man. Oh, and the magic thing is superfluous – did I mention she’s a black single mom already?

If I understand this correctly, they’re encouraging the formation of armed citizen* groups to defend their way of life and personal sovereignty against an unaccountable and overbearing government. Now where have I heard that before?
It’s going to be fascinating to compare and contrast the treatment and coverage of this group with that of their counterparts to the north. If those groups are smart, they’ll invest in some flags and bandanas, and perhaps some bilingual spokespeople.
* Or non-citizen, as the case may be.
Pogonip, great link, thanks.
If I understand this correctly, they’re encouraging the formation of armed citizen* groups to defend their way of life and personal sovereignty against an unaccountable and overbearing government.
Not really, they are encouraging the formation of armed trustifarian revolutionary cosplayer groups to try to overthrow the government and force their brand of communism (masquerading as “social justice”, “socialist democracy”, or whatever the current buzz word is) on normal people.
A fool and his $895 are soon parted at “…this summer’s “Women Teach Men” wellness retreat in the scenically mountainous town of Ojai, California.” (Where else ?)
Gosh, that sounds fun.

You beat me to it, Darleen.
“Surfaced”, right. The big question is who the hell is pawing through the archives to see whose relatives said what as a condition of sponsorship. If they go that route, NASCAR will have no sponsors given its Southern heritage – not that that would be an entirely bad thing since NASCAR decided to become a spec car race series anyway. “Today Megalo Corp has pulled its sponsorship when it was learned that the grandfather of Jimmy Bob Johnson, the backup tire man of the #02 Bubba Brothers Chevrolet, shook hands with Bull Connor and voted for George Wallace.”
FUBAR indeed, nothing says “raising awareness” by removing all the on-car ads that raises awareness. Sooperjeniouses, they are.
