Friday Ephemeraren’t
Because it takes practice, a chance to throw together your own pile of links and oddities in the comments. I’ll kick things off with an answer to the age-old question of whether eyeballs bounce; an obliging doggo; a job that’s perhaps not for everyone; an inn of note; scenes of wartime London; and why a non-lethal knockout is harder than you might think.
Entertain me, I dare you.

Grenfell Tower inferno: Milan Italy edition: Just how many buildings in Europe have flammable cladding?
Good reference Darleen.
A great if hugely pessimistic and prescient story.
Just how many buildings in Europe have flammable cladding?
I think I see the problem here:
What any of this means in Italian, I have no idea.

Further evidence, WTP, that you and I are both kinda old? I remember when the official switch was made from “danger: inflammable” to “danger: flammable” after much talk about how too many people thought “inflammable” meant “will not burn” and then did stupid things.
Is this funny? Or do I need a rest in a quiet place?

Bit early for Oktoberfest.
“Always respect the media” as our host likes to remind us.

“Always respect the media” as our host likes to remind us.

“Always respect the media” as our host likes to remind us.
They keep getting caught at their lies, and yet they never stop.
They don’t stop because enough people believe it or at least publicly defend them in those lies. They’ve got an army of smug Twit assholes typing “It’s physics” and other inanities into the thread going after anyone thinking the fear porn peddlers are a joke.
