Cat is wise.
Maybe, with time, the cat can train her human to be less of an ass.
No pushing, form an orderly line.
Wouldn’t matter, out of everyone’s league.
Mixed message.
Can’t say he is wrong.
Gibsmedat
She wants to live in a place where the normal laws of civilization do not apply? Maybe we could accomdate her by building walled communities for people like her: They can live according to whatever rules they wish, and the police will never go in. But her kind will not be allowed out except during daylight hours and while wearing prominent identifying marks under threat of maximum punishment. There must be a name for that sort of setup…ghetto?

Unfortunately residential institutions, except for the extremely and sometimes dangerously insane, were shut down around the world beginning in the late 1960s. The theory was that by allowing such people to live in open society amongst the functional and sensible majority they would learn to adapt and function better, i.e. more normally.
“Loveliness detected.”
See what happens when kids aren’t taught grammar?
“Transparent lifeform.”
Yeech. Mind you, it’d make medical examinations a lot simpler.
“Feel the love.”
Wouldn’t it be fun if some Lenape Indians showed up?
More suited to an open thread than ephemera, but I’m definitely going to steal “That reeks of strange politicaleyness” (4:12).
When you’re all fired up and righteous…
Did BLM’s useful idiots just assume that a carjacker would be black?

Is ‘bitch’ a pronoun? Asking for a friend.

How are these f*ckwits taken seriously?
Morning, all.
How are these f*ckwits taken seriously?
Ah but, you see, menacing a woman at gunpoint and stealing her car, and endangering other road users, and trying to shoot passing drivers, and then shooting at police officers… it’s a basis for sainthood, according to the moral gurus of Black Lives Matter. At least, it is provided the person doing all this isn’t white.
Sometimes people really do tell you who they are.
“Accessories plus case, circa 1900.”
Imagine picking it up in a flea market, wondering ‘Oh, what’s in here?’
[ Slurps coffee, considers toast. ]
Ooh. Muffins.
Ancient ritual enacted.

Brilliant. 🙂

Ah, the wooing game. After a hesitant start, his confidence blossoms. I do hope it worked.

LOL
the surprise loss of the floor.
Don’t you hate it when that happens.
Loveliness detected
Imagine working in an office with that. Oops, that’s one pronoun violation already!
Seriously, who raises children like this? And who would ever hire her?
Ancient ritual enacted.
The reactions to it downstream were pretty sweet, too. Mad props for trying.

That has had rather mixed results, sigh. In fact, none of the leftist “solutions” have actually solved anything–quite the opposite.

Nonsense, what could possibly go wrong ?

Oh, adaptation has definitely taken place, but unfortunately it’s the formerly functional and sensible types who have been taking on the behavioural patterns, especially those blessed with a university “education”.

Fuming. 🙂

I did not know that tea towels were controversial.

I haven’t seen Shoe On Head videos recently. Has something possibly gone terribly, terribly wrong?

Heh. Reminded me of the omnipresent foul language monitor in Demolition Man.

This is where I usually type ‘Mission Accomplished’.
This is where I usually type ‘Mission Accomplished’.
For the hardcore left it is indeed “mission accomplished”. For their dumbshit liberal tools it is “why are things worse???”

“She has a knife !”
“Quick, officer, throw a Nerf football at her !” RTWT…
Unrelated, music video of note (NPI).
Today in remembering the downsides of good weather… flies.
Get away from my goddamn juice.
I only know Lozza Fox as a tier 2 level Home Counties Detective Sergeant.
His campaign for Mayor of Londonstan seems to be of middling success so far. I mean, obviously he would have an uphill battle against Sadistiq Khan and the Beeb anyway.
His latest campaign video seems… okay.
Wondering what the take is from current inmates of the capital ?
“I’ve been trying to educate you.”
‘Twould take a heart of stone not to laugh…
Tea towel rage is real, people.
Is there some weird practice with tea towels I’m unaware of? I always have a stack of simple flour sack towels for all manner of hygienic tasks.
‘Twould take a heart of stone not to laugh…
…while giving her the boot.
Oh, and about that black girl who was shot by police as she tried to stab another black girl to death? A morbidly obese black communist female explains to us that the girl was killed not only by “whiteness” but also by “fat phobia“. (rolls eyes)
Is there some weird practice with tea towels I’m unaware of?
I can’t speak for the wider nation, but hereabouts our tea towel habits are entirely decent and respectable.
[ Straightens tea towel, checks for dampness. ]

I’ll speculate that some people launder their towels very infrequently.

What – once a week isn’t enough? Although I rarely use mine to dry dishes, unless the air drying hasn’t done the job. Mostly I use them (tea towels) like hand towels to dry my hands after washing them, or the dishes.
We are still talking about tea/kitchen towels, I think. Because doesn’t towel have a different meaning over yonder side of the Atlantic – like napkin over here?
Via Ace, intellegence is a white man’s myth.
“I’m right because I said so, AND in writing”.
Good enough for me because I am not intelligent enough to make sense of the academicese salamagundi.

That is, I believe, the customary function, albeit unofficial. I don’t think ours have ever approached a piece of crockery.

1930’s Nazi professors: “Watch me use race to destroy every area of academic scholarship.”
2020’s woke Americans: “Hold my beer.”
like napkin over here?
When I was a boy we called a napkin a serviette. Sadly it’s not used any more–the word not the object.
As for tea towels, We have about a dozen. Mostly used to dry hands and dishes that come out of the dishwasher wet. Which brings me to the miracle of Jet Dry. Our dishes suddenly started coming out of the dishwasher dripping wet. Couldn’t figure out why. Then realized we stopped using dishwasher tabs that contained Jet Dry and the machine’s Jet Dry holder was empty. I loaded up the container and the dishes came out dry again. It’s a miracle.

You are fined 100 credits for violations of the Verbal Morality Statute.
Demolition Man has proven horrifyingly, terribly prescient, right down to the use of violent black thugs to intimidate the state’s ideological opponents into submission.
