Friday Ephemeraren’t
Due to events beyond my influence, you’ll have to throw together your own pile of links and oddities in the comments. I’ll set the ball rolling with some niche entertainment; a pet shop promotion of note; an excess of ears; a lady who wants some fries; and a lady who wants a kebab.
Oh, and a plot twist.
Be careful of who you try to destroy
That is wonderful news! I look forward to the punitive damages phase.
Yes, especially the shoplifters themselves insisted there was nothing racial about it!
I guess the fiber community is also ephemeral:

When it comes to novel methods of spycraft, you Brits always seem to have things well in hand. (File under Things You Won’t Believe, and possibly NSFW)
Oh yes. The story of Captain Cumming, Officer Stagg, and Major Dick Holme. I almost forgot about that one. Richard Cranium, call your office.
I’m at the office at the moment; no need to call.
The story of Captain Cumming…
That is Captain Sir Mansfield Smith-Cumming KCMG, CB, to you, thank you very many.
The incredible humorlessness of the left –
Guy who runs The Federalist, given the flap about the idiots at Vox trying to start a union, makes a joke tweet:
Managing editor of The Federalist replies (clearly knowing that the joke is a joke):
This clot files a complaint against him with the NLRB as the rest of left wing twitter dogpiles on him.
Incredible.
Once is a tragedy, twice is creepy.
”I guess the fiber community is also ephemeral”
I’ll never eat celery again.
Hi TimT,
It was actually about women who knit, who are now “the fiber community.”
Women who knit…
Yeah, I followed that story on Quillette. Amusing in a completely horrifying way.
As it happens, the woman who used to be one of a few Lead Engineers on the SR-71 Blackbird program at Edwards AFB, and who is know to me for saying “Perfect safety is for those who don’t have the balls to live in the real world”, retired. And started a knitting business. Might be fun to hear her NSFW comments on all this.

To be fair, if The Federalist lived up to its name instead of tabloiding every little low-level leftist tic, maybe it wouldn’t attract the crowd it does.
who are now “the fiber community.”
I’m having trouble generating sympathy for any group of people who unironically call themselves “the fiber community”.
As Kate over at SDA is fond of saying, we need a famine.
Hi Fred the 4th,
Yes, I’d like to hear her comments.
The incredible humorlessness of the left
In this case, humourlessness or simply ill will.
Women who knit
Previously in the world of intersectional knitting. Again, humourless, or spiteful?
“It was actually about women who knit, who are now “the fiber community.””
Ta Pogo, I’ve been following the Woke Knitting story with morbid interest, but when the opportunity for a silly pun presents itself, I’m afraid I can’t help myself…
In this case, humourlessness or simply ill will.
Embrace the power of “and”.

What’s more ephemeral than bubbles?

(When I think of “ performative rubber products,” though, this is not what first comes to mind.)
===========
What an insanely over-wealthy society the West is such that people can make a
living from this kind of idiocy
In this case, humourlessness or simply ill will.
Embrace the power of “and”.
About halfway through that, it seemed to me clear that there were some personal scores being settled, plus a chance to knock out someone else’s business model.
Deplorable.
