Friday Ephemera
An impressive stash. || Hardcore pecking. || The endless acid banger. || She’ll be late for work. || Air worm. || You want one and you know it. || “He ran his experiment by putting a non-toxic lipstick on his cats’ anuses.” || Just like normal people. || Shoelace knot innovation. (h/t, Things) || Always respect the media. || Repent at leisure. || A brief guide to black holes. || Glass barn for sale, $1,700,000. (h/t, Things) || Attempted super-casual door-closing of note. || The sound of fun being had. || A vision of things to come. || Incoming, not outgoing. || “Cat trapped in sofa” and other rescue dramas. || “I wanted to be in a car accident.” || I’ll just leave this here. || And finally, tastily, “I just figured the skin is thick.”

More here including some kickyball things you lot over there might understand.
I am unnerved at the idea of a toxic lipstick. Also surprised that the cat did not immediately lick off the applied lipstick.
You know, Antifa might want to try blending in with the locals…
Antifa might want to try blending in with the locals…
They do.

They really captured the 60s/70s album design vibe. Sadly, Mike Collins passed away yesterday.
Hardcore pecking.
Northern Flicker. Several of them visit my backyard everyday. They never seem to peck at anything except the ground. The Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers on the other hand leave their marks all over the deck railing and stairs. Thank god they’re too small to carry acorns or my deck might look like those trees in the other item.
Air worm.
Reminded me of Dune. Really creepy.
Shoelace knot innovation.
I think I’m going to adopt that. I grew up with the two loop method and my kids make fun of me.
Professional pride
I don’t sell crack. I’m a prostitute.
The endless acid banger
Where is the “any key”
“He ran his experiment by putting a non-toxic lipstick on his cats’ anuses.”
Imagine mom’s surprise when she noticed her favourite shade adorning the arm of the sofa.
Clearly, chicken skin isn’t as thick as some things…
Attempted super-casual door-closing of note.
Or ‘how to get shot’.
That woodpecker sounded like an MG-42. Seriously, like 42+ pecks/second.
Morning, all.
Just the one.
Scenes.
Niche appetite detected.
“I just figured the skin is thick.”
Please tell me that isn’t real.
But he was totes in for Earth Day!
Tiresomeness detected.
”I wanted to be in a car accident”
Something stuck in my eye….
“…yep, it’s a thing…”
No, not even in clown world.
Or ‘how to get shot’.
Or…fake?
Found this piece, via Insty, regarding NFTs and our sucker society in general to be spot on…

If I can get a matching 360 model 60 and Selectric terminal to go with that than, yeah, I just might actually want it.
“The goal of the Postmodern era we are living through is an effort to establish histrionic personality disorders as our dominant social order.”
Heh. Pretty much.

I’ll just leave this here.
That.

Teach him to play basketball.
“Big Gretch is the homie. When she finds out about this, she might be a little upset”
Possibly, possibly not in the way he thinks.
Our betters play in traffic.
Just blue skying here, but I am guessing if that one doesn’t jump on the hood of a car, the chances of “being dragged”* asymptotically approach zero.
Some of the replies are gold, “he also pulled into a bus lane,illegal af”, translated: “I can’t believe he didn’t let us just peacefully beat the crap out of him !”
*(We’ll ignore that Maranie “truth, transparency & accountability” is a little confused about the concept of “lying on” not exactly being dragged)
“he also pulled into a bus lane,illegal af”
Additionally, this:
translated: “I can’t believe he didn’t let us just peacefully beat the crap out of him !”
Note the Antifa clown trying to punch the car’s occupants. Because they wouldn’t submit.
Obstructing traffic in this way is an act of aggression, an attempt to dominate, and should be responded to as such. The masked narcissists trying to frustrate and intimidate random drivers – because they can, and because they enjoy it – are not good people. They do not mean well. It isn’t politics or protest. It’s bullying.
It’s not bullying. It’s peaceful protest. Just read through the logic on that thread explaining why it is peaceful and that there was not even a threat of harm to the driver. Pay no attention to the fascists, psychopaths, and literally nazis (no, I won’t capitalize it) who say otherwise.
That any of these idiots are taken even remotely seriously, that we take seriously anyone else who takes them seriously is simply a long play surrender. And the vast majority of people are good with that. Not necessarily when stated in the way I just stated it, but in practice in reality. And so long as we take any of these people, there supporters, or those who pretend that this situation isn’t a real problem seriously, we are in deep, deep shit.
This crap needs to be called out, the supporters of this crap need to be called out by conservative leadership. But it won’t happen. It hasn’t happened. Not with any serious intent. Only in the failure theater sense.
He’ll be getting a visit from the police with an arrest warrant for vehicular assault
He will claim that he was legitimately in fear for his life and acted accordingly.

But does that matter in Portland? Would that matter to a Portland jury? Logic, reason, the law have gone out the window. That anything like this sort of thing happens, happens repeatedly, and happens not just in Portland but all across the country is proof of that.
Our betters play in traffic.
I notice they didn’t peacefully try to obstruct the semi tractor trailer truck, or try to peacefully beat up its driver…
I also like the Abolish the Police crowd howling for the police to drag him from his home and arrest him for assault, then denying they are for abolishing the police when called on it.
That hydrid-driving weenie didn’t get any Virtue points for driving a hybrid vehicle either. The sad part is he probably has (or would profess to have) the same political ideology as the bullies – er – peaceful protestors. But he gets no credit for that when he acts (rightfully so) to save his own sorry ass from the bullying. And yet weenies like him still adopt the please eat me last posturing – even though time and again they have seen the mob always comes for you in the end. Always.
That hydrid-driving weenie didn’t get any Virtue points for driving a hybrid vehicle either.
TBF, it sounded like the weenie has taken advantage of some of the numerous upgrades to the VTEC in that thing that can get it to north of 200HP, so he is probably actually an un-woke Gaia raper.
Curious way to spell “guy who rolled off the hood of the car he jumped on”.
happens not just in Portland but all across the country
Governor DeSantis in FLA just signed legislation that grants qualified immunity to any driver striking a pedestrian deliberately impeding a public highway.
If this wasn’t enough justification for Brexit, nothing was.

Good on him. Didn’t Tennessee also just pass some legislation like that?
Curious way to spell “guy who rolled off the hood of the car he jumped on”.
This. These assholes really do think they can say and do anything, and get away with it, in spite of all evidence showing them as the aggressors. The only reason the outrage over those two antifa/blm idiots who were killed last year didn’t gain much major traction in the media was because the guy who ran them over was one of those B lives who matter more than their lives. Even being BLTQWERTYWTF++ didn’t gain them much – they were inconveniently pale compared to the driver of the vehicle.

Yes. But more to my point. Why exactly do we need such a law? Laws protecting us from prosecution for defending ourselves? While the right to self defense is not exactly enumerated in the constitution, it is an inalienable right that is only missing, IMNSHO, because the Founding Fathers could not imagine even under the tyranny of their times a government/people tolerating such a thing. Thinking about this further, I would submit that probably just about any government, even ones run by tyrants and despots, understand this. Excepting in the case of tyrants and despots where the tyrant or despot himself choses to violate it or in which the tyrant/despot is intentionally using said thugs for its purpose…which of course, of course, of course would not apply here. Seriously. In what world, what civilized country can random people threaten random people and the law be indifferent? But back to America…so-called…what law was passed, who voted to change our laws such that assault has been effectively legalized? And not just legalized but PROTECTED BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM?
Hell, we even respect that animals have a right to self-defense. We may kill the occasional nuisance alligator or bear or such, but only when the animal first attacks a human. If the human goes out into the wilderness, harasses a bear or alligator or such and gets eaten we don’t blame the animal. We get Werner Herzog to make a documentary about what a dumb ass fool the person was. Then as we watch we go to the fridge, crack open another beer, sit back down on the couch and resume our amusement. Where are the conservatives…”conservatives” on this?
A bit OT of the T I raised, but thinking about these “concerns” more broadly, thinking back to a time when “anything goes, man”, where are all our I-dare-you-to-throw-me-in-jail-look-how-brave-I-am-defending-free-speech comedians today? Why aren’t they out there front-and-center making fun of not just crap like this but this civilization shitstorm in general? Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits my ass.
WTP – keep in mind that the Bill of Rights is not intended to confer rights to us plebs, let alone represent all of such rights. On the contrary, it just identifies a number of (our God-given) rights that the gubmint is not permitted to infringe on. One of those is the right to bear arms – which some might argue would be pretty much a nullity if the gubmint can stop you from using them to defend yourself.
On the contrary, it just identifies a number of (our God-given) rights that the gubmint is not permitted to infringe on.
In a godless world people have a hard time understanding that the government is not a higher power. They readily concede that governments can confer and take away rights. It’s why we’re so screwed.
Yes. But more to my point. Why exactly do we need such a law? Laws protecting us from prosecution for defending ourselves? While the right to self defense is not exactly enumerated in the constitution, it is an inalienable right that is only missing, IMNSHO, because the Founding Fathers could not imagine even under the tyranny of their times a government/people tolerating such a thing….”
First, I emphatically agree that the Founders did not enumerate the right to self defense because they could not imagine it needed to be spelled out. Furthermore, it is enshrined in English Common Law which the Founders used as a starting basis for our system.
Second, the obvious answer to “Why?” is that mainstream liberalism is now hostile to the right of self defense–at least if the attacked person belongs to a politically disfavored group. Some would contend that I exaggerate when I attribute this madness to mainstream liberalism and that the problem may only be laid at the feet of a small minority of radical leftists. But if that were so then why do such political monsters get elected? Why are there so many of them who are judges and lawyers? Why do “moderate” liberals enthusiastically fund the extreme left NGO’s?
Is it time to make a leftists version of the “Attorney Hunting Season Bag Limits” joke?
1. Any person with a valid Washington State hunting license may harvest attorneys.
2. Taking of attorneys with traps or deadfalls is permitted. The use of currency as bait is prohibited.
3. Killing of attorneys with a vehicle is prohibited. If accidentally struck, remove dead attorney to roadside and proceed to nearest car wash.
4. It is unlawful to chase, herd, or harvest attorneys from a snow machine, helicopter, or aircraft.
5. It shall be unlawful to shout “whiplash”, “ambulance”, or “free Perrier” for the purpose of trapping attorneys.
6. It shall be unlawful to hunt attorneys within 100 yards of BMW dealerships.
7. It shall be unlawful to use cocaine, young boys, $100 bills, prostitutes, or vehicle accidents to attract attorneys.
8. It shall be unlawful to hunt attorneys within 200 yards of courtrooms, law libraries, whorehouses, health spas, gay bars, ambulances, or hospitals.
9. If an attorney is elected to government office, it shall be a felony to hunt, trap, or possess it.
10. Stuffed or mounted attorneys must have a state health department inspection for AIDS, rabies, and vermin.
11. It shall be illegal for a hunter to disguise himself as a reporter, drug dealer, pimp, female legal clerk, sheep, accident victim, bookie, or tax accountant for the purpose of hunting attorneys.
For instance:
2. Taking of leftists with traps or deadfalls is permitted. The use of marijuana as bait is prohibited.
5. It shall be unlawful to shout “microaggression”, “misgendering”, or “white supremacy” for the purpose of trapping leftists.
7. It shall be unlawful to use meth, young boys, $100 bills, or dead carjackers to attract leftists.
10. Stuffed or mounted leftists must have a state health department inspection for AIDS, rabies, lice, and fleas.
“6. It shall be unlawful to hunt attorneys within 100 yards of BMW dealerships.”
Now I know why I never liked BMWs – they are associated in my mind with cheap, nasty spivs.
The recent post on using the workplace as a venue for woke posturing has been updated.
The “Shoelace knot innovation” link points to the page for one particular knot. If you click the Tying button at the top of the page and select Shoelace Knots, you’ll see that the site has pages for twenty ways to tie your shoes.
This can be quite useful. I used to have a chronic problem with my shoes coming untied. It was especially annoying when I went walking with friends, and we would always have to stop for me to retie my shoes. I finally got fed up and did some Internet searching for shoelace knots, which led me right to Ian’s site.
After browsing the site, I decided to give Ian’s Secure Shoelace Knot a try. That solved the problem. I’ve been using it for three or four years, and it has never come loose on its own. It stays tied until I untie it. I’m so pleased with this that I sent Ian a donation last week to express my gratitude.
I have a simple solution to the “cat’s anus” and “cat trapped in sofa” problems: don’t have a cat. It works for me.
Coming soon to a Democrat controlled city near you.
“I wanted to be in a car accident”.
