Friday Ephemera (683)
And how was your day at work, dear? || Swamp thing. || Stairwell situation. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || Nommy-nommy-nom 2. || Grim poll, scroll down. || Lumpy mud. || Flapping detected. || Attractive and practical. || A problem arose, a solution occurred. || A reminder to be careful who you hire. || The progressive retail experience, parts 480, 481, and 482. || “Still lots of work to be done.” || Oh come on, we’ve all had mornings like this. || Fat woman who doesn’t like walking bemoans the shortness of life. || Laser facial. || Finger check. || On recidivism. || Vibrancy and enrichment. || Modern romance. || His is bigger than yours. || His is bigger 2. || Good to know, I guess. || Odd dog. || Bad dogs. || It’s a lot to take in in fifteen seconds. || And finally, hours of fun, and inexpensive, too.
Should you be inclined, there are buttons below the fold.

First!
The bird screeched Banzai! just before impact.
Perspective.
Mud, mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
So follow me, follow
Down to the hollow
And there let us wallow
In glorious Mud!

Can you explain this, David?
“Aspiring rapper.”
Torturing animals is a red flag. Aspiring rapper is another.
Another rapper. Why it’s never a symphony musician cannot be explained (by liberals.)
And how was your day at work, dear?
The plane is fine.
Back in the good ole days they only ate your homework. True story.
Thread winner was:
“Odd dog.“
Just as well they didn’t let him in. He’s a cat, he’d only want to go out again 5 mins later…
“I care about the way I look.” Like a Batman villain?
Mystery solved.
Just wonderful
I laughed. Still not sorry.
Morning, all.
Hey, I’m bringing you the full richness of the human experience.
[ Slurps coffee. ]
I’m just going to leave this here, I think. As a reassurance to patrons.
So glad I’ve been married for 20 years…
I’m not sure I’d be any good at dating via app. I don’t even know which way you’re supposed to swipe.
You know, I think she may, just may, be a tiny bit racist.
And in I-just-want-to-use-the-ladies-bathroom news.
“Hold my beer”.
Some people are unfit for the task of living. Still, it’s interesting how our “indigenous” and “non-binary” drunk driver has learned to mouth all of the most fashionable excuses for her utterly selfish behaviour and obnoxious personality.
Stunning and brave!
Apparently, we’ve arrived at a stage of civilisation in which chunky middle-aged men dress as women and then deliberately piss themselves in public, on camera, as an erotic high, before sharing the recording on social media and awaiting likes.
Everyone remember where we parked.
A new month demands a new banner and even more “pride”.
Today In Art™, the bow and applause at the end are well deserved.
Indeed. Nazi-level racism is not uncommon in the “melanated” population.
and:
Most efforts to “reform” criminals and anti-socials through therapy and education and “outreach” are doomed, because personality is largely fixed by adolescence. Certain policy-related conclusions follow inevitably from this unpleasant fact.
So, how are the henchlesbians, David?
Busy choosing bubble bath.
Those wacky “educators” are at it again.
In Washington state, students are excluded for not being inclusive. “Biologically, that’s not true! Scientifically, that’s not true.”
Not be outdone, a bit to the northeast, in Saskatchewan, a new alphabet lesson for 9th graders drops.(Link at link NSFW, but OK for school)
Can they use some help?
They really love their pet piranhas.
Schools have always struck me as fairly pathological environments, not least because of the people so often employed there; but never, I think, more so than now. I barely trust the average state-school teacher to impart the basics of arithmetic or chemistry. Trusting them with enormous license for overreach – say, as above, to share the alleged joys of shitting and pissing fetishes – seems, shall we say, a little unwise.
Meanwhile, in the world of parenting.
Just Stop Oil.
Meanwhile, in the world of parenting.
Not unrelated, the lyrics, rhythm, and melody put Gershwin and Ellington to shame, but what this has to do with the UK version of Dollar General is a bit baffling. (NSFW and/or use earphones)
Is she… disabled? I honestly can’t tell.
In happier news.
Heh.
David needs new wheels to go with his freshly styled hair. Something happening.
Socialist professor explains how to get a PlayStation under socialism.
I’ll stick with this ultra-cool ride until somebody builds a fish-and-chips car.
It’s now 20 years since Rob Grant’s Incompetence (“A novel of the far too near future”) was published. It’s set in a Europe in which, according to Article 13,199 of its Constitution, “No person shall be prejudiced from employment in any capacity, at any level, by reason of age, race, creed, or competence”. Its opening sentence:
“The flight was uneventful enough, except the pilot touched down at a slightly wrong airport and forgot to lower the landing gear, so we left the plane by way of the emergency chute, and I lost my shoes.”
Of course, they won’t explicitly ban “prejudice” against incompetence (although the book was inspired by a French law banning it as the sole grounds for dismissal), but that’s the effect of all this.
Obligatory. [Scrolls down] Nah, lyrics don’t cut it, pst314. 🙂
Says, “Yes, absolutely,” then unwittingly explains why his own assertion isn’t remotely plausible.
A professor, you say?
For those who missed it, a guide to the Chinese Revolution and its lunacies.
Shame isn’t the word that comes to mind.
“Aspiring rapper.”
Funny how you never see such suspects with the tagline “Aspiring concert pianist”.
Via Ace, those
dickweedwacky vegans are at it again.One characteristic of a left/liberal/progressive organisation is the name is certain to be at odds with what they do.
The part about the mascot being named Kevin made me literally LOL. And by ‘literally’ I literally mean ‘literally’. No, honest. Honest injun in fact. Why don’t you believe me, damn you? Sheesh.
School handout: I got as far as “A: auto-fellatio” and that was too much. Kids do not need this.
I think this is supposed to be a boast.
A visiting Martian might see instead a kind of glorified self-harm.
Source? I was under the impression that incompetence was legal grounds.
A visiting Martian might see the benefit of staying home.
The question is whether an HOA would have prevented this, or mandated it.
Kids do not need this.
Of course, they don’t. Those aren’t educational lessons on the biology of human reproduction, they are there to expose, and normalize, some of the most outrageous (and dangerous) fetishes usually confined to bad p0rn videos.
But don’t dare call it grooming.
The progressive retail experience, random public encounters division.
Raise your hand if you have ever had to deal with a hood rat who became angry when you declined to buy whatever garbage he was peddling.
Wacky Vegans
An extract from the letter sent by these joyless individuals to the baseball team:-
“To help fight cancer and cardiovascular disease in your community you should encourage fans to consume delicious, healthful plant-based foods instead of menu items like 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Bacon Wrapped Bacon, Steak Cut Bacon, Bacon Cheeseburger, Bacon Dog, Bacon Loaded Cheese Fries, Bacon Loaded Mac N Cheese and Bacon Chips”.
The club President respectfully declined the suggestion:-
“The Macon Bacon will be sizzling forever and will not consider a name change. Ever”.
That’s… quite the mugshot. It conveys a heart-warming story.

Damn I want to be there.
Socialist prof: the pilgrims tried socialism. Turns out people are lazy and would rather other people work and give them stuff. Lots starved (as in “died” not just missed a meal) before they let people have their own plots of land to farm, after which prosperity. In college I visited some communes–lots of bickering about who would do dishes. No one cleaned the place. Flies everywhere. Random dogs without their shots. yeah, heaven. Yet this same prof would not agree that a random group of other people should be able to approve his writings or lectures. hahaha of course not.
And in I-just-want-to-use-the-ladies-bathroom news.
Even the dog had the good sense to look away in shame.
I miss the concept of shame. As social correctives go, it was underrated.

Harsh, yes, but unjustified?
I think not.

One of the more interesting experiments in cooperative living was Rochdale College which turned into a drug infested hellscape.
I miss the concept of shame. As social correctives go, it was underrated.
I strongly believe that the stocks should be returned to the public square. It would likely lower the rate of recidivism. Although, the, ahem, “gentleman” who was, quite literally, taking-the-piss seems to live for public shaming.
I got as far as “A: auto-fellatio” and that was too much.
It’s a good thing you stopped. “F” made me throw-up into my mouth.

Science fiction author and editor Judith Merril is mentioned several times in Rochdale’s Wikipedia entry. I knew she was a member of the Futurians like Fred Pohl, so now I wonder if there were any limits to her leftist fantasies.
Now I have a headache. Thanks.
To each their own.
so now I wonder if there were any limits to her leftist fantasies.
It’s interesting, there’s a panel discussion with three people who lived at Rochdale College. At one point during the discussion they talk about how the original “educational” efforts of the college devolved from actual academic pursuits to more “practical” efforts like candle making and dance.
Leftist ideologues lack the intellectual rigour and physical discipline to prevent things from becoming more and more disordered (entropy?). It’s why left wing ideologies are ALWAYS taken over by miscreants, malcontents and psychopaths.
Oof. As I say, it was over 20 years ago – it obviously took Grant some time to write his book and get it published – so it might take a bit of digging to find the precise statute, but I recall it making a minor splash at the time in the papers (not much internet back then).
The key word, I think, is “sole” (also, let’s be honest, “France”): it could still be cited in a dismissal, but you couldn’t sack someone purely because you considered them incompetent. I’m sure there were caveats; I seem to recall it not kicking in until after a certain period of employment, for example. (I’m reminded here of the recently-passed tenancy “reforms” here in Scotland. You can’t evict a tenant simply for rent delinquency; there either have to be extenuating circumstances such as property damage or it goes to a hearing. Barking mad, but not quite as barking mad as it first appears.) It may even have been repealed since. I don’t know.
In happier news.

It would also have the advantages of being prompt and inexpensive. As I said regarding the practised malevolence seen here:
Which is what has to be done. There being no evidence of a better nature to which one could appeal.
She certainly paints a picture.
[ Passes squeaky cereal box. ]
My sympathies. I have the same problem with trying to recall details of long-ago events and readings. And I appreciate how I can ask for sources on this blog and get civil replies (in contrast to some other blogs.)
Perhaps French law required the employer to demonstrate that the employee was severely incompetent, not merely inferior? And only after a long grace period? I do recall reading that employees terminated for incompetence were legally entitled to many months of unemployment compensation (paid for by the employer, of course.)
The poet McTeagle would approve.
It’s as if Scotland is turning into a nation of moochers and grifters.
It seems calculated to encourage landlords to get out of the rental market, which will lead to housing shortages. Maybe we will soon read about Scottish progressives decrying “housing deserts” and “food deserts” and so on.
The kind of pathological behaviour we’re seeing is unlikely to be corrected, or at least somewhat suppressed, by anything other than public, physical humiliation.
A thought shared by many, apparently, and yet at the same time, not enough.
I recall reading that many of these anti-social personalities only respond to punishment which is prompt. Delayed punishment, after waiting months for a trial, has little effect. What’s more, corporal punishment has an effect which mere confinement does not.
Perhaps confinement should be modeled on the Chamber of Little Ease.
I gotta admit, this tranny video gave me feelings…down there….
Or to open the door to government getting more involved in the rental market. Baby steps, Comrade, baby steps…
Step 1: Government creates a housing shortage.
Step 2: The public complains. Activists agitate.
Step 3: Government “solves” the housing shortage with government-owned and subsidized housing.
Step 4: All the disasters that follow from government-administered housing.
Step 5: More government is needed. Obviously, comrade.
Easier for the government to ‘oversee’ the landlords – plus it gives them a scapegoat when everything goes wahoonie-shaped
“Behaviour Change Officer.“
Step 0: There actually is no housing shortage. There’s a surplus of crazy people who do not know how to care for themselves, nor keep themselves clean, let alone any significant space that surrounds them. The government is creating this surplus of crazy. But addressing that doesn’t put money in conservative’s…”conservative’s” pockets as well as those of the activists. Construction companies gotta grift too, you know.
