You’ll Get Your Shoes Back When You’ve Watched The Whole Thing
Swollen with anticipation, we turn our attention to the self-refuting world of Ms Sandrine Schaefer. This time, our inexplicably underfunded performance artist has taken her talents to the streets of Belfast, where her attempts to disconcert the natives with mind-shattering concepts can be witnessed below. The featured work, Pace Investigations No. 9, reveals “tensions between mechanical, cyclical, and felt time, shared in a site of historic trauma.” Tensions that are, we’re assured, “palpable.”
Sadly, with one brief exception – and despite the palpable tensions of Ms Schaefer’s “guerrilla street performance” – passers-by still pass on by. Somehow, incredibly, getting on with their lives.
Holy Mary, Mother of God … This isn’t The Onion.
The Onion.
OOPS!
The page you’re looking for isn’t here.
Either someone gave you a bad link or there’s something funky going on. Either way, we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience.
Darleen,
Link not working. =^(
Lemme guess: coal miners just got off their shift (and needed a beer before heading home)?
Hey! Whoa! What’s this mess??? Somebody’s getting the Correction Booth.
Closing the html.

I’ll just quietly let myself into the correction booth now.
I take it these “men in blackface” were so privileged they got to work hundreds of feet underground, contract black lung and die in their 40s or 50s. Caught at a meeting of the white cisgendered heteropatriarchy.
Better link here … my cut-n-paste took off the end

Okay, I navigated the azcentral site (part of the USA Today Network – which explains a great deal), and found this – and pst314 is correct, the author is a fact-hating piece of garbage.
More self-inflicted blinkered nonsense:
Oversensitive attention whores like Mr Rashaad Thomas, apparently.
Oh yes it is, you self-important dick.

I breathlessly await his next hand-wringing exercise after he sees the Chimney sweep scene in Mary Poppins
Ummm…
The shark has been jumped, by America’s “paper of record”, no less.
Meanwhile, back in the UK, have a friend going to the hardware or Swiss Army store ?
Rat (grass) them out.
If it saves one life, nobody needs an assault knife.
“That photo tells me I am not welcome.”
You must have at least a 2-digit IQ to be served here, because we don’t want you to hurt yourself trying to eat the laminated menu. Sorry.
Try the whine-and-cheese establishment 3 doors down.
Please help a poor benighted soul into the light.
Well, very simply, what’s going on is slobbering all over a perfectly harmless book that, so far as I can discern, has offended no one and deserves, at the least, better slobber, while someone else is presumably standing there recording the occurrence.
Chim-chiminy-chim-chiminy-chim-chim-cheree
The sweep’s problematic as he could well be
Chim-chiminy-chim-chiminy-chim-chim-cheroo
Racism rubs off when he shakes hands with you.
Or blow him a kiss—and Antifa attacks you!
Fact: The photograph shows coal miners’ faces covered in soot. The context of the photograph is not the issue.
More journalistic laziness. If you’re going to say something is a fact, well, it should be a fact. A coal miner’s face would be covered with coal and crystalline silica dusts not soot.
The man’s logic seems very Pythonesque. If the photograph weighs the same as a duck then it must be a witch in black face. Or something like that.
A business’ photograph of men with blackened faces culturally says to me, “Whites Only.” It says people like me are not welcome.
I think we’ll give that one a post, and thread, of its own.
Thanks, Darleen.

Perhaps if she took her clothes off.

The best I could do on short notice.
No, don’t thank me.
No, don’t thank me
No danger of that I think…
I think, just like “literally” and “ironic” and “nonplussed” (though I still contend in the case of “nonplussed” it gets the savaging it deserves) we will soon need to add “fact” to the list of Janus words. Well that and the rest of the whole damn dictionary.
However, if she was so imprudent as to include – and you’re paying for it – on the sign, she likely wouldn’t survive the performance.
And this suggests an idea. Suppose another artist decided to stand next to her with a sign reading “Performance art supported by the Northern Ireland Arts Council”?
Poor lass must be terribly short-sighted. Bless.
Best argument I’ve seen for a hard border.

Only if you’re posting from the Republic of Ireland . . . .
“Performance art supported by the Northern Ireland Arts Council” . . . .
She would have had a more memorable performance if she had eaten a banana and made monkey noises
In today’s world, ordinary people cling to it with sugar. Nobody cares about people with small bubbles. If you really want to shock you or make you a noticeable tension, you should wear a MAGA hat or T-shirt Brexit all over the world. Maybe a little smile maybe.
Nothing is more pathetic than watching a lack of talent express its frustrations.
You have to admit, that’s a great haircut though.
So profound…profoundly moronic and stupid. But I repeat myself.
