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.
Will this do?

Come on man, people are hurting…
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.
The plop thickens.
Band name.
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.

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.

Am I late to the ephemera? Very well, I am late to the ephemera.

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.
