Because It Can Be Done

If you’re interested in chemistry, the chap’s videos are fairly entertaining. Though I can’t help wondering if he’s one lab mishap away from becoming a super-villain.

I think we have found the source of many of the alcoholic and spirituous liquors served in David’s rather outre establishment. Pork rectums and toilet paper hooch – what more could anyone ask for? I am sure the Michelin people will come knocking any day soon

As I said of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull…
Now there was a regrettable experience. Even the title is needlessly clunky. Too many words.

They’re having themselves quite the party over there.
Ms Occasional Cortex is a revolting human being. Manipulative and habitually dishonest. She is therefore, inevitably, a leftist hero.
[ Added: ]
She’s a dogmatic, self-flattering pinhead who’s impervious to factual correction and whose grasp of world events and basic economics, even simple numeracy, is so inadequate as to be comical. Shortcomings that have neither inhibited her career nor her eagerness to pronounce on said subjects with the expectation that others should defer or simply remain silent. Because magic brown woman.
As with Laurie Penny, she is in many respects a distillation of leftist vanity.

Not just magic brown woman but magic brown Congresswoman

Not just magic brown woman but magic brown Congresswoman
And one apparently impervious to repeated self-humiliation. No learning or course correction ever seems to occur. Instead, almost any public embarrassment, however self-inflicted, tends to result in insinuations of racism, or sexism, or claims that the mockery is only to hide fear of her enormous throbbing radicalism.
Again, much like Ms Penny.

Not saying one way or the other but if you seriously doubt that she’s a psychological councilor of some sort, you haven’t been paying attention the last 30-40 years.
Indeed. There are lots of “therapists” who are into horoscopes, healing crystals, aura reading, aromatherapy, and so on.

What could go wrong?

from a therapist no less
In what I am sure will come as a shocking and ironic revelation, the therapist is herself a survivor or sexual assault trauma.
It always, always, always comes down to Complex PTSD. As a society, we have deliberately pursued social policies that increase the likelihood of our daughters being raped as children by orders of magnitude, and then we allow those broken children to be used as props and levers to push even more destructive social agendas.
If AOC is lying, I hope she’s exposed, humiliated and hounded out of public life forever for trivializing this issue for her own fleeting advantage.
Didn’t happen to Christine Blatant-Fraud, so I’m not optimistic.

What could go wrong?
Perhaps something similar happened at the Tower of Babel? Could Elon Musk be our Nimrod?

Today I learned that shovelling snow, chiefly for the benefit of my neighbours, is not my first, best destiny.
Oog.

Shoveling snow, you say?

I’m now less likely to get my new boots wet. So there’s that.
Is it weird that I’m deliberately careless with my boots because I enjoy cleaning them? I think I may have a budding addiction to Saphir Renovateur…

Plains Township Police Department Chief confirms a double murder suicide on Bergh Street. Chief tells us this all started as a neighbor dispute over shoveling snow.
The Chief obviously hasn’t spent a lot of time as a detective, or he’d know that a double-murder/suicide never starts with a dispute over snow.

“I’m going to be turning toilet paper into drinkable alcohol.”
So no pipe bomb from playing cards? Ah well.
*goes back to ancient copies of Ripley’s*

More importantly, how do you turn moonshine into toilet paper?
Last May, here in the US, we really needed to know that!

David – though I share your disdain for everything above AOC’s neck we should more fairly and accurately judge her as an actress, considering she “won” that representative seat via a casting call from the Justice Democrats. Compared to your average hollywood bimbo she’s a downright genius.

we should more fairly and accurately judge her as an actress,
Yes, her only discernible skills seem to involve playing the role, which is to say, pretending.
Or lying.

yellow snow
If I see my elderly neighbour crouching suspiciously in the snow, drawers half-mast, I shoo her away with a broom.
“Only trying to melt it,” indeed.

Yes, we let the enemy take over our schools but I would argue it was a comparable mistake to give them our institutions of sanity as well.
From a conversation with a close friend not so long ago:
“I have not met a leftist of late that was not on psychiatric medication. Not one. Their style, tastes, and general interests are all exactly the same as well.
[…] I talked to a girl who said her therapist was amazing because she had the same mental problems and cuts her crazy prescriptions for Adderall.”

Two unusually metrical graffiti messages (here and here) on a dreary wall in Belfast amplified by the media into international hate crime incidents because they “target” Irish deputy PM Leo Varadkar who’s both gay and half-Indian – racist undertones and shades of the Ku Klux Klan.
To the scholars and humanitarians in the media there are only two possible historical parallels into which everything has to be shoehorned. Everything is either like a reenactment of Nuremburg in 1933 or a reenactment of Selma Alabama in 1965. Varadkar’s being half-brown gives them an excuse to pretend it’s Selma Alabama. But it’s not, it’s the dreary steeples of Fermanagh and Tyrone. The graffiti is part of the long Norn Iron tradition of sectarian provocations and threats and attacks.
If there’s any really interesting historical parallel to be drawn about the place, it’s that demographic interventions to stick it to the backward natives can cause centuries of suffering. But that historical parallel isn’t going to get in the way of the infusions of diversity.

her enormous throbbing radicalism
Thank heavens she’s not a biological male…
Implied tumescence or turgidity? These radicals today are rather stiff.

Thank heavens she’s not a biological male…
Yet.
Who these days would bet against it changing?

Thank heavens she’s not a biological male…
The phallic connotations do sound apt, though. These clowns are forever bragging about their own imagined radicalism. Their radical prowess, as it were. All while mouthing the same idiocies, studiously regurgitated, and while pretending the same things.

and mittens
What is about wokeish WOCs that they all seem to have double-barreled family names? In England a doubled-barreled name is generally a sign of, or pretence to, class superiority.
However, what puzzled me (amongst many oddities) in Ms Seyer-Ochi’s diatribe was ” the colors of their educational degrees”. Were they all wearing academic dress or is this some new wokeish classification?

So no pipe bomb from playing cards? Ah well.
Can’t be done anymore. The nitrocellulose based inks have pretty much disappeared. Just an FYI for the curious.

and everyone gives you the stinkeye
Speaking of which…
