Friday Ephemera
The concept of sideways. || The scene of the crime. || At last, high-speed hover cars. (h/t, STG) || “Social justice publishing.” || Related. || Perverse and insatiable, there is no cure. || Rolling with it. || Beer vortex. || If the Moon were a disco ball. A giant, somewhat terrifying disco ball. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || Ladies at large. || Felt lemonade. || “A deadly presence.” (Or, when you’re being bullied and you don’t even realise it.) || When hypocrisy is a default. || Seeing-eye shoes. || I laughed and I’m not sorry. || Simpler times. || “Black people can’t be racist,” says big black racist. || Balloon versus orange peel. || A boy and his dog. || Suboptimal translation. || And finally, relaxingly, a foot massage of note.
“Black people can’t be racist,” says big black racist.
One of my regrets is not publicly ripping a famous black (who espoused just that racist lie) a new one, back in the day when we knew each other and ran into each other on occasion.
“A deadly presence.”
Sarah, The Only White Person in the Room. Blacks and browns warily approaching her with their petitions of mercy, knowing that at any moment, merely by lifting a finger and claiming to feel threatened, Sarah can summon lightning bolts down on their heads…
Storm is a carb feeder…
“Simpler times.”
What are they meant to be? Anteaters? Is that a Hallowe’en thing?
“A deadly presence.” (Or, when you’re being bullied and you don’t even realise it.)
Wokeness is a mental health issue.
Morning, all.
Wokeness is a mental health issue.
Well, if what she says is true, she sounds like a neurotic person being bullied by opportunists. If what she tells us didn’t happen and is being aired for effect, to impress her peers and gain woke status points, then that doesn’t exactly suggest a balanced individual either.
“A deadly presence.”

Tom McDonald – “Snowflakes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCMwlorNEZk
Some of the reaction videos are priceless…

That can f*ck off.

Heh. Well, quite.
If you’re presenting yourself to the world as a supposedly fascinating misfit, a radical aberration, and you then insist that potential friends aren’t allowed to ponder, even privately, any aspect of your supposedly fascinating anomalous status, this does sound a tad egomaniacal. As noted recently, the terms and preconditions, so eagerly listed, suggest that “being an ally” simply isn’t worth the effort and contortion demanded by these tiresome, clownish, narcissistic assholes.
Forget about the moon. What would happen if the Death Star were a disco ball? Actually, we already know the answer to that: the Powerpuff Girls would destroy it.
How dare you not want to hump my scarred and mutilated body.
By the wonders of the internets, a token of appreciation is winging its way to you across the Atlantic. Enjoy some wine on me.
Deformed Man Toilet? Didn’t they tour with Pearl Jam in 2004?
Enjoy some wine on me.
Bless you, madam. May your crafty afternoon nap never be interrupted by a territorial dispute between crows and magpies.
[ Fondles tip jar suggestively. ]
Balloon versus orange peel.
I learned something today.
How dare you not want to hump my scarred and mutilated body
Nothing is sexier than a surgically attached artificial penis built out of balloons and spare body parts.
Fly tipping.
Why are their faces blurred? They aren’t rape victims, they’re simply total and absolute pigs.
Publicly shame them. Show their neighbours the kind of people they live next door to.
Who knows, with enough shame and condemnation they may, just may, still be redeemable.

It does have the air of a David Cronenberg film.
In other cartoons, we’re told that if you’d rather not wind up in the sack with the biological sex you weren’t expecting and don’t actually find arousing, then you should “disclose that shit” and admit your bigotry. (“Bigotry” being implicitly defined as having any kind of sexual preferences and/or standards, such that there are some things you’d rather not have sex with.) But a trans person pretending to be something that they aren’t and deceiving others in the hope of getting laid is totally fine, apparently.
“Seeing-Eye Shoes”
I believe those are illegal on the Tokyo subways during the school year – they’ve certainly been tried often enough!
Publicly shame them. Show their neighbours the kind of people they live next door to.
The idea of town-square stocks is not without some retro appeal. And possibly some practical advantages.
Orange peel of note.
Seen over at Orwell’s She can swing like Spider-Man from her armpit hair,” Clarke said.
Orange peel of note.
Heh. I didn’t see that coming.
Balloon versus orange peel.
“As it turns out, limonene is also very flammable”
Do the children of Florida orange growers stay up late lighting their peels?
“Simpler times.”
What are they meant to be? Anteaters? Is that a Hallowe’en thing?
Ferrets?
They look a bit familiar, too, as if I’ve seen similar cartoon characters somewhere.
At last, high-speed hover cars.
That’s a good illusion. Can’t stop seeing it.
Emilia Clarke’s New Comic Book Centers On A Single Mom Whose Powers Are Derived From Her Period
Her period? Or something shortly before, perhaps?
Can’t stop seeing it.
You know it’s just a shadow, but your brain keeps on saying, “Nope, flying car.”
Sorry if this was already posted here, but:

I seem to recall that many years ago an American university (U of California Berkeley? MIT?) intentionally delayed building sidewalks. They waited until pedestrians had worn visible paths between the buildings and then built the sidewalks where people clearly wanted them.
people who have had bottom surgery
The Pile Free?
Perverse and insatiable, there is no cure.
In fact there is a cure, but defenestration is illegal.

Today’s words are revealed preference.

Just watched part of Toobin’s apology/welcome-me-back interview and still not clear. WTF was there about that Zoom call with his colleagues that got a man in his 50’s (60’s ?) so aroused that he simply must run a batch during the break? One would expect greater self control from a hormone enraged teenager. The interviewer mentions Clinton and Weiner and Cuomo and (of corse) Trump, but all of those situations, either real or imagined, were in the course of some normal…”normal”…context/flow of sexual behavior. The whole thing is a farce of a farce. Toobin, and likely Cuomo as well, must have the goods on somebody powerful at cnn. Shouldn’t that be raising even more serious questions?
run a batch
Now I’ll never be able to run any batch processes without thinking of Toobin choking the chicken. Thanks.
choking the chicken
Now I’ll never be able to choke any chickens withough thinking of Toobin spanking the monkey. Thanks.
spanking the monkey
Now I’ll never be able to spank any monkeys without thinking of Toobin strangling the cyclops. Thanks
strangling the cyclops
Now I’ll never be able to gouge any eyes without thinking of Toobin waxing the salami. Thanks
Now I’ll never be able to wax a salami without thinking of Toobin beating a bishop…wait a minute…
waxing the salami
Now I’ll never be able to wax my salami without thinking of Toobin polishing the bishop.
[ Peers over spectacles. ]
Polish? You polish your bishop? With what? A cloth? Sick bastards.
beating a bishop
Now I’ll never be able to beat any bishops without thinking of Toobin burping the worm.
That can f*ck off.
The tragedy here is that she appears young and quite physically attractive behind all the technicolor deformations. She could have had a good life more easily than most.
Instead she swallowed the poison offered her by the poisonous, and became poison herself.
Such is the way of warfare by savages waged: seize the young females of the enemy.
Seems accurate:
