Friday Ephemera (682)
She does this better than you do. || Birds and sheep. || Today’s words are bee cartridges. || Larger forces were at work. || Incongruous Dalek. || Daylight. || Those load-bearing arguments. || Compression test. || The robbery attempt did not go entirely to plan. || Plot twist. || Plot twist 2. || Today’s other word is stealth. || It’s not a sex toy, it’s a prayer robot. || “Am I gonna be in, like, a jail with, like, a lot of, like, ghetto people?” || In this case, far away is probably a good thing. || “I’m just gonna see what happens,” he said. || For those of you wondering what an Antifa admin-moderator looks like. || Cake and a shower. || Incoming. || When you hear a bothersome rattling noise. || Safe and reliable. || Some serious toe. || And finally, furtively, there’s quite a lot going on between the ladies’ legs.
Should you be inclined, there are buttons below the fold.
What, Friday again already?
What’s worse, Friday the Thirteenth was only two days ago. Two days!
It’s chicken whacking time.

We will expect a lengthy review, David.
A restaurant where every kitchen worker has HIV.
CaesarDavid, beware the Ides of June.We will expect a lengthy review, David.
This what you were looking for?
Tell us you’re retired without telling us you’re retired.
Akshully…
For two seconds I wasn’t sure…
Actually impressed. 😀
Morning, all.
Yes, I shouldn’t think the watermelon was an easy challenge.

Attention, insecure cis people:
The ladies will doubtless be thrilled to invite him into their bathrooms.
Just a small one.
Don’t worry, everyone was fine.

Album title.
LOL. Real-life AbFab.
I believe this is called gusto.
Your link goes to the same place as mine. I just double-checked.
It was the Ides of June when I posted that comment.
I’m not sure exactly how unusual that UK heatwave is, but my gut impression from thousands of miles away is that it’s pretty rare.

Projecting much?
It is, shall we say, a recurring theme of the demographic in question. And if chappie needs validating with a T-shirt, and can’t look at his own physical reality without flinching or getting depressed, or having some kind of meltdown, or indeed threatening to stab people, then I’m not entirely convinced that he’s free from insecurity.
According to this learned legislator making a troon feel uncomfortable or unsafe should get you a trip to the hoosegow, so I am sure she would feel the same about something like the guy with the stabby shirt making a normal person feel unsafe.
I felt inclined. Keep up the good work, barkeep.
Via Iowahawk, an AI commercial that doesn’t quite go to plan.
Pretending that the seriously, sometimes dangerously, mentally ill are somehow not – and threatening to punish anyone who notices – isn’t, it seems to me, a recipe for safety.
Bless you, sir. Should you be obliged to watch an old episode of Star Trek, may it be The Doomsday Machine, and not Spock’s Brain.
And note how they repeatedly conflate disagreement and disapproval with violence and threats of violence. Even a mere reluctance to join in public celebrations is labeled a “threat”.
*Glances over at Strat & Vox*
Nooooooo!
Well, that was one Akshully, my OCD compels me to point out the other. A common misunderstanding that is interesting in itself,
As entertaining as that is, back in the 70’s when I was a kid, this was the gusto I was promised. Pity about the beer.
Kitchen where they have HIV: we know for a fact that Hep A is widely transmitted via restaurants. It is known that HIV is harder to transmit casually–but not at all? Is it just one sneeze away into your food? We don’t know because it is forbidden to research it. I would say the health censorship tyranny began with HIV.
By the way, gain of function research still going on at Wuhan lab.
Heat warning in GB: yes, 101 F is hot but we had temps over 100 for 20 days (10 in a row) one summer in South Carolina when I lived there. I still went running. Helped someone move and then had to move myself. Yes, I understand that brit housing may not be ideal for it. But come on. Media love to be scary.
I did not see that coming.
That was satisfying.
As with this example from a few weeks ago (and which also features the use of a chair), it’s the kind of thing that ought to happen every damn time.
True. But notice as one of the Twitter responses points out, the criminal is now likely to sue and the proprietor/customer/whomeverfightsback is likely to go to jail. And even if not, significant legal expenses are in their future. I see Daniel Penney’s GiveSendGo fund is up to $2.9 million. George Zimmerman’s legal fees were around $2.5 million and that was back in 2013. But hey, at least he got justice, right?
Yes, although I was hoping to hear shrill screaming.
I knew a lot of liberals who wanted George Zimmerman to be convicted.
May those liberals experience what they wished upon good people.
But if your body is not acclimatized to such temperatures, and your home and car and workplace do not have air conditioning, you could be in a world of hurt.
Hell. I know a lot of conservatives who felt the same way. Even supposedly pro-2A ones. Damn near everyone I know gets real quiet when I point out that he did nothing wrong. I have been over and over the evidence presented in that case and reviewed many times the media’s distortions and outright fabrications of evidence. Conservatives don’t care. They blame him. Especially the cops do. This for doing exactly what for decades cops, since they for the most part became weak kneed little p****s (just like the bullies the naturally are), asked citizens to do. The neighborhood “watch” thing. Oh, oh…we cops can’t be everywhere! We need the help of Joe Citizen. F****g pathetic. WLM. WHLM. FTP.
100 deg F pst314: yes and I do sympathise but note that the brit press do this even for 80F. Heat warning at 80
Attention, insecure cis people:
Yeah, good luck with that, bro.
celebrating Pride by encouraging employees to read about “glory holes”
Heh. Do they also issue “not cloudy and rainy all day” warnings? 😀
celebrating Pride by encouraging employees to read about “glory holes”
Not the worst of it … down further in the thread is that FoxCorp has an AI-generated “social score” for its employees.
As I said regarding this pernicious, controlling claptrap:
The needy, unviable mental states of random strangers are not my burden to carry. And to impose one’s own psychodrama on others, to demand their complicity, is, at best, rude.
Somewhat related, this.
…based in part on how often employees practice “micro-affirmations.”
WTF?
OK, so how are they going to quantify this? Active listening devices? CCTV everywhere? How many times you respond “Yassss kween, slay!” in an e-mail to a BIPOC/BAME/LGBTLSTKV1 collegue?
