Friday Ephemera
That was not what I was expecting. || Speck at speed. || Pattern detected. || Peekaboo. || Because you like a project: How to make a brass and steel 8-ball. || Old bill. || Jellybean corn. || Boyfriend material. || Meatbird. || Because style points matter. || Frankly, I’m concerned by the lack of legroom. || When you may have joined a cult. || He likes coffee and lives in an abandoned elementary school. || Doll’s house of note. || She’s a lady. || On the evolution of the human arse. || Tiny treehouse kit. || Skeletons in the closet. || A compendium of cheap Irish houses. (h/t, Things) || Highway kaleidoscope. || Mystery solved. || More anarchist genius. || And finally, in prosthetics news, the thrill of receiving your artificial toes.
Mystery solved.

She’s a lady.
So is that a male human? Or a female human taking steroids and pretending to be a male human?
Will this be on the test?

“Peekaboo.”

Frankly, I’m concerned by the lack of legroom.

Morning, all.
Maybe you have to straddle and face the other way? 🙂
For some reason, it reminded me of when you’re trying to get to your seat in a busy cinema: “Excuse me, sorry, excuse me…”
Do they have a race fetish?
The subject does seem to preoccupy them in a rather deranged way.

She’s a “writer, activist, teacher” who declares her pronouns.
Somewhat relevant.
Even the parents of a lot of the BLM shouters are not old enough to remember 1969 and this anti-racist debut song by Blue Mink (fashion and hairstyles excused) and the concept of coffee-coloured people woulld be anathema to them.
What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough to take the world and all its got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

the thrill of receiving your artificial toes.
Cool. Didn’t know they existed.
“She’s a lady whoa whoa whoa…” wait, she’s a lady? WTH
Didn’t know they existed.
No, it wasn’t something I’d given much thought either. I’m now trying to decide whether or not the podophiles among us* will find it pleasing.

Civilisation has its ups and downs. We are currently in one of the downs, and it may last a long time. I have just been been watching episode 6 of Kenneth Clark’s “Civilisation” (1969), broadcast before most of you were even thought of. This episode deals with the post-Reformation wars of religion, I think better thought of as outbreaks of madness reminiscent of today.
I was out of the UK when the programmes were broadcast, and decades later settled for the BBC book. The programmes are available on the Tube, but I was able to easily download the complete series from:

A long-delayed treat. In parting, I have two words for our US readers for when the time comes: volley fire.

Darleen, what is most depressing is that this harpy is in a Science department. Perhaps it is time to point youngsters away from University, even Tech, and towards what I believe you call in the US trade schools. Even when the God-Emperor crushes the election (fraud permitting) this stuff is not going away.

The first response in that thread was fitting and cutting. With his two apparently white parents, very obviously white brother, and a skin tone shades lighter than that of many Italians I’ve known, the only blackness race hustler Sean King has claim to is the formless void of his soul.

“She’s a lady.”
There are four lights!
…and one penis, and two testicles.
. . .and RBG has is no longer with us in this realm. Requiescat in Pace
Another data point
Must be her given name that confused her.
If there is an afterlife, RBG can eat a bag of dicks for eternity. (Sadly, I don’t believe there is an afterlife. Hmm, given my past, I shouldn’t be sad that I don’t believe there is one.)
Assuming that there are people who loved her, they get what little sympathy that can be squeezed out of my non-existent soul.
She, on the other hand, underlined Chief Asshole Justice Robert’s proclamation that US Supreme Court Justices aren’t political to be the steaming pile of dogshit that it was.
If she gets the send-off that that verminous swine McCain got, I will have to reconsider my desire to not disrupt the sorrow of those who might have actually known her. (McCain got a send-off roughly equivalent to that of President Abraham Lincoln. That’s a spherical disgusting travesty; it’s a disgusting travesty no matter how you look at it.)
Frankly, I’m concerned by the lack of legroom.

Real men drink coffee without cream, milk, or sugar. I’m not certain “coffee-colored” is correct in that context. :-p

So three things about this bug me.
1). What is it about being in a car that inspires people to give their political opinions? This is both a left and right phenomenon.
2) While I understand why phone cameras present a mirror image when using the reverse camera, why doesn’t the default save mode simply reverse the image? Maybe for video I understand but still…
3). If she’s so damned distressed, why doesn’t she pull over? Are we supposed to believe this is spontaneous? Unless maybe it’s a GoPro camera? But I doubt that since it’s a reverse image…unless she’s in Jamaica or some other Commonwealth island country. Seems unlikely but FBM if she stays there.

I’m seeing a bunch of American doofuses (doofoi?) threatening that if Trump nominates a replacement, they’ll riot. Are they not aware of their comrades already having played that card, perhaps?

Well, rioting in certain areas HAS got them some of the things they wanted – “defunding police”, $$$ to BLM, submission by CEOs and public genuflecting by the likes of professional sports.
I’m hoping these Copperheads keep writing/recording their threats. I seeing gold in political ads.
Darleen,
Exactly. Even I was surprised to see in stories about favorability of BLM dropping that they were still well above 50%. Granted I think polls are mostly BS but given the attitude that I see, the virtue signaling and such among many friends, ex-coworkers, and other associates it doesn’t seem like it’s that far off the mark. The vast majority of people in our society are worthless cowards IMNSHO. I’m thoroughly disgusted with most of the people I know. Especially the ‘nice’ ones. Even the moderately conservative reluctant likely Trump voter ‘nice’ ones. Regarding what Richard Cranium says above regarding hell, I myself am not especially convinced there is one (my theological beliefs are rather ‘complicated’ such that I don’t even believe them myself) but if there is, and odds are likely I’ll be in a room on the same floor as RC, I hope I at least get a window so I can watch the virtue signalers burn. Which is probably why that would be my destiny. But at least I’m (mostly) honest about it.

….public genuflecting by the likes of professional sports”,
Thank heavens nothing like that happened over here.
We’re 4,000 miles away after all.
How dumb would that look?
Dear fellow ephemerists: A few minutes ago, Jack Horner-wise, I stuck my thumb into our local library’s catalog (online) and pulled up this plum — being the 4th edition, 1808, of a booklet by W.L. Weems, published by Hobby & Bunce at Augusta, Georgia; the long title:
Relevance, if any, to recent observations concerning an afterlife, is purely coincidental.

Trump’s latest executive order should be a joy to all classical liberals. It’s short enough that you may want to consider reading it in full. It’s been out for one day and the progressives are already wailing in ashes and sackcloth. Not only does it forbid them using government resources for critical racebait, it forbids federal contractors from engaging in critical racebait. If the order stands, it’s going to do massive damage to the prog machinery.
