The progressive retail experience, parts 429, 430, 431, 432, and 433.
[ Ponders the need to severely punish not just the criminals but their leftist protectors. ]
Unskilled economic immigrants are allowed in by the million (as well as Muslims whose religion and politics makes them irreconcilably hostile to America), while real political refugees are repatriated to their oppressors. We should not be surprised: That is what the Left does.

A couple of years ago, I was trying to upload to the Internet Archive a 1968 satirical student movie, “Campus Christi (1968)”. Finally it can be played there.
It was made as a graduate student project in the Department of Communications at Stanford. It won awards at Foothill, Monterey, and Ann Arbor film festivals. Filmed mostly on and around the Stanford U. campus.
Vicki Drake, the topless dancer, was a Stanford student at the time and financed her education with her dancing. Playboy magazine also ran a pictorial feature on her.
Warning: some partial nudity, and a racist epithet or two.

Fret not, UK citizens! This too will be coming yo your local streets if our woke coppers have anything to do with it…
Taking the bike lane.
That’s basically ‘The Enigma of Amigara Fault’ in car form.
Ooh, that cushion made of wood springs is WRONG.
I use very similar wood springs as guides when ripsawing, but the woodgrain is 90 degrees rotated from the video.
So what prize do I win for finding the guy who’s wrong on the internet today? Huh?
Duet.
Lol. I can wiggle my ears a bit.
Duet
I learned something today…
Morning, all.
Lol. I can wiggle my ears a bit.
Yes, but can you, er… you know…?
I see the process has been simplified.
And yes, it’s real. I tried it.

It’s something I’m unlikely to forget.

I needed Pool time after the previous links.

Calamari for the masses. At one point in the film I thought that pulsing inverted pork rectums had strayed into the story.

In case any newcomers are confused.
Cultural appropriation.
I’m literally shaking.

What can I say? Sometimes everything just lines up perfectly, and when it does, you have to seize the chance. *sips fancy cocktail* Ooh, fresh lime juice. You’re spoiling me.

Interesting theory.
Watch the mental illness being transmitted.
FB link to a TicTok video. As stated…This woman is not the problem. It’s the people who support and encourage her efforts. It’s every doctor and shrink who is aware of this situation. It is every teacher and administrator who goes along with it. This woman by herself is not the problem. The lack of will to address her mental illness by all those to whom I refer, THAT is the problem.
Where is the outrage from the broader mental health profession (yeah, I know) and more importantly, as applies to the end result, the medical profession? These lunatics are not the problem. The problem is with those who encourage and endorse it but also with those professionals, so called, who make little to no noise in opposition. Out of respect for one’s profession there should be demands for licenses to be revoked. Instead…crickets. Because smart people. Smaaaaaart.
You can’t say that in here 2.
While digging into that one further I ran across this Newsweek “fact check” about that story that is quite precious in its verbal contortions. Especially cute how they rate the fact that they choose to check as mostly false.
It’s the people who support and encourage her efforts.
Spot on, as this lady explains what happened to her.
this Newsweek “fact check” about that story that is quite precious in its verbal contortions.
So, having failed to refute the actual substance of the parent’s complaint, i.e., the inaptness of the material her child is expected to read, Newsweek’s “fact-checker” resorts to saying that the parent in question was allowed to keep complaining, which is, in context, almost beside the point, as if this proved something, and albeit on the condition that she didn’t share with those present what it is she was complaining about. Thereby making informed comment rather difficult. Apparently, being prevented from quoting the particulars, even briefly, i.e., the very reason one might object in the first place, is not considered important.
In a saner world, the Newsweek offices would be on fire. Pretty much daily.

In a saner world it wouldn’t be just the Newsweek offices. In a saner world a few teachers, administrators, doctors, and shrinks would be dancing on air…so to speak.
Also, thank you NateWhilk. That was a rather amusing little film.

Yep, Part 679.
Interesting theory.
Well, it’s certainly fresher lime juice than I had in my last fancy cocktail.
The Newsweek article is presumably an attempt to mislead – specifically, to discredit Libs of TikTok, and to derail growing concerns about in-school ideology – and hence the slyness of “fact-checking” what is, in context, effectively an irrelevance, as if this somehow undermined the actual complaint. As if there were no ironies worthy of note, no basis for concern.
And there are people working in the mainstream media, and indeed at Newsweek, who seem astonished by the fact that public trust in their peers continues to plummet.
Ooh, fresh lime juice.
Interesting theory.
GM hamster juice?

Oh well, as long as David’s not blending puppies…

Or is it the dysgeusia kicking in?
Mental health professionals: since it is now imperative to accept whatever people do and feel and just try to make them feel better about their life–ie not actually change anything–there is no basis for saying you are sick for teaching your son to wear a dress. You cannot say there is no such thing as all those pronouns or that demanding other people go along with you on said pronouns is being a bully. No no no, you must affirm everyone. Even being a shoplifter is just a lifestyle choice. Not allowed to say that being morbidly obese is dangerous. This is what happens when all standards are thrown out.

As Biden said, children belong to teachers.
At the intersection of furniture, thoroughness, and low-budget science fiction, two blasts from the past:
I know. I spoil you. I really do.
It occurs to me that over the years I’ve posted close to 15,000 items in the Ephemera series.
Should anyone be about to ask.
Thoroughness? I think you meant obsessiveness.

Ever since Twitter requires login to read full Tweet comments: Fuck Off Twitter.
It does? I’m not logged in to Twitter and I can see both tweets and replies. Or do you mean something else?

I hate that as well. With a passion. But as advised here by someone, if you take your browser down to the minimums, delete and refuse to accept cookies, etc. you can continue to browse Twitter. So I keep a separate browser, my Safari specifically, clean and only use it for Twitter. I still get the annoying popup login but I can eventually scroll past it. What is most annoying is when I click a link on my usual browser (Brave or Chrome right now) that takes me to twitter, upon scrolling down that login message locks up my browser for about a minute. I had hoped it was due to having an older, memory challenged iPad but even with this new one I’m having that, and other, problems.

Yes, that was my experience. And if you start getting pop-ups asking you to log in, try pressing Escape to make them go away and allow you to continue scrolling.
