Friday Ephemera
I’m not sure there’s a name for this kind of thing. (h/t, Noah Carl) || Odd doggo. || Get you. || Good to know. || Access denied. || Hi, Toilet is an (almost) contactless public convenience. || The thrill of public transport, part 2,044. || Athletic ladies, 1940. || Squirrel feeder of note. || The thrill of pencil sharpening. || Possible pet. (h/t, Darleen) || Tiny monsters. || “Get with the times.” || A brief guide to medieval tennis. || “The root of all discrimination that we see in the world.” || The thrill of hair drying. || The thrill of Thames Television. || Today’s words are learning environment. || Scenes. || Bio-absorbable screws. || Hot bee sex. || This does this. || And finally, he’s taking it rather well, all things considered.

In Craven Street, Strand, ten attorneys find place,
And ten dark coal barges are moored at its base.
Fly, Honesty, fly! Seek a safer retreat —
For there’s craft in the river, and craft in the street!
Farnsworth: Amen brother… (Ah-men?) with a similar dispensation for Los Angeles.
Chewbacca fought the Six Million Dollar Man, like, six years earlier on television
What makes Burr’s “I hate Star Wars fans” routine work so well is that he’s clearly a fan himself or he wouldn’t be able to construct the jokes with that level of detail. It’s a kind of Rorschach test for nerds: if you have an emotional reaction to his routine, you’re exactly the type of fans he’s talking about.
I have seen nothing from him regarding this obvious f**ked up situation
