Friday Ephemera (670)
As old as time, the awkward threesome. || You want one and you know it. || Broad daylight heist. || Happy ending. || Today her name is Horus. || “Emily is a woman,” says Dr Fielding. || Fatty Fatgirl and other fashion brands. || Because you demanded it, the thrill of women’s basketball. || On concept cars. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || A compendium of CT scans. || Cocaine cat and other tales. || Shuttlecock calibration. || Today’s word is predation. || She’s not driving, she’s travelling. || Temple of note. || Fresh milk with bits. || Bit much, really. || Nommy nommy nom. || That’s not what I was expecting. || Trampoline 2.0 || And finally, because you deserve it, a project for the weekend.

They’ll end up laboring in the fields, bringing in the increasingly meagre beet harvest. Or else they will be up against the wall. Effing fools.
I spend almost as much time on my non-remunerative career as I do on my paid one. And I’m one of the people at work that puts in the longest hours too.
Modern life is so soft that I can earn above the median and still have four hours a night and two days a weekend to do all the other stuff I want to do.
“No shoot zones” activist holds woman at knifepoint, gets shot dead by police.
The usual suspects raise the usual protests.

Don’t forget a few leaves of cabbage for the Sunday sauerkraut
That does bear repeating.
For her, yes, but not for thee.
For people on the left, no amount of repetition is likely to get through. In my experience, any presentation of evidence is met with recitation of slogans about counseling when it is not “refuted” with outright denials of that evidence.
For her but not for thee.
This is the same lady:-

A black barrister mistaken for a defendant three times in one day has received an apology from court officials.
The fact that a disproportionate number of criminal defendants come from a minority demographic is presumably not something she has given much rational thought to.
Nose ring: check.
Public loo selfies: check
I take a backseat to no one in my dislike of the TSA, but punching this fetching lass in the nuts is a bridge too far.
…that rhyme or at least are alliterative. That way you know they are true.
ccscientist,
One day after school my daughter said “Guess what Molly brought to school today? (Teacher Molly, a.k.a. Mother Nature) A deer!”
” Really? ”
“A dead deer!”
” ? ”
“She found a roadkill deer on her way in to school and brought it so we could take it apart. It was SO COOL!”
Note 1: Not a public school
Note 2: Molly was this little, wiry, middle aged lady with a perpetual smile and a … subdued …respect for rules.I
Note 3: everybody loved Molly, even the admin staff who sometimes literally, had to hide the body.
“We also reject that there was any further physical threat from our community…”
True enough, it was more like a promise.
luxury communism: for most of history, it was obvious that you had to work and most work involved very clear cause and effect. Farm work for example. If you don’t milk the cows they moo and moo because they are uncomfortable. If you don’t get the hay in and it rots in the field your cows all starve in the winter. (hence “make hay while the sun shines”). Now, we have young white people supported by parents/easy jobs and young blacks on welfare who never experience cause and effect, not even after committing a crime. We have millions of “adults” who have a job divorced from the physical world, with no idea where their electricity and food come from. They also see so much wealth around them that they imagine the wealth to be infinite. So they think we can just stop using fossil fuels or stop using fertilizers or give every black in san fran $5mil like waving a wand. Hence our current inflation here in the US.
Bad link.
Amazingly, I know plenty of white liberals who, judging by their personal and professional lives, do understand cause-and-effect–and yet that understanding flies out the window when thinking about welfare policy, crime policy, etc.
Yes, but J K Rowling should not describe those thugs as “men’s rights activists”. They are deranged trans and commie thugs.

Ah, the craptastic Link-O-Matic 9000™ strikes again. Good link.

Let me guess … this man-in-a-dress “identified” as female and looked forward to a pat-down by a female TSA agent … who probably took exception at discovering she was handling this guy’s junk unawares.
If only those estheticians who Jessica Yaniv demanded to wax his balls had acted according.
Yes, but J K Rowling should not describe those thugs as “men’s rights activists”.
The “trans”women are men who want more rights than women, hence, men’s rights activists.
Later that same day…“Oopsie, our bad…”
Let me guess … this man-in-a-dress “identified” as female and looked forward to a pat-down by a female TSA agent…
That, or the Nude-O-Scan correctly identified his junk and he had a hissy fit because the machine “misgendered” him. As far as the nutpunch goes, I’m betting that goes into the “didn’t happen” file.
And not just liberals. Putting aside colloquial use of the term.
But that conflates the trans loonies with the men’s rights activists who have legitimate grievances. I strongly suspect that the conflation is reflexive, as public feminists tend to be very anti-male and willing to smear all men with the wrongs committed by even the tiniest minority.
I disagree: The linking tool works pretty well, and every error I have made has been my own. In fact, I have found other link tools on other sites to be just as easy to make mistakes with.
Damned white people and their [checks list] digital blackface.
I wouldn’t be surprised. The complainer deleted his selfies and took his twitter account private.
It’s amazing, the sort of racist excrement you can get away with if you are black or a leftist.
Damn the white peoples. This black woman is correct. White people are significantly to blame for these problems.
Demonic possession?
There will be sufficient cctv coverage in all areas of a US airport to capture important events including whether or not the alleged punch in the ladynuts took place.
Rude words would have been a safer bet and far more likely to result in $$$$$$$$.

The previous comment was intended to be a reply to David’s “bears repeating”.
