Friday Ephemera (684)
I thought it was a sandwich. || Choose your weapon. || Thief deterred with wetness and warmth. || And the winner is. || Today’s word is irony. || “Euphoria overload, gotta spinny.” || The good, the bad and the gayageum. || Good to know, I guess. || Houseguest of note. || Hold space to fly straight, a one-button game. || Strange gull detected. || The thrill of fungus. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || The rise and fall of the movie poster. || Perhaps a tad excessive. || Place your bets. || Big plane scenes. || Car park scenes. || Sporting scenes. || Today’s other word is parenting. || School-board meeting pushback. || Upscale catfight. || He thought it was a caravan. || Elvis, the unreleased recordings. || And finally, “I do have this huge aura of feminine energy.” And very busy hands.

“I don’t care what people think”
Good to know.
If you want the police to respond quickly–or to respond at all–you need to say the thieves or thugs said racist or “transphobic” things.
And the first page of images googling just the word ‘shoplifter’, every single picture was obviously posed/staged. Of course that just shows how bigoted I am because why would I think that, riiiiiight?
All are for some movie titled “Shoplifters”.
Breaking: Chicago Mayor Warns That If Local Walmart Locations Close People Will Have Fewer Places To Shoplift
A new crisis: shoplifting deserts!
In an entertaining fashion one hopes.
Compare and contrast.

The term “white supremacy” is thrown around accusatorially whenever convenient but I don’t see any places even remotely similar to South Africa of 30 years ago.
“White majority”, on the other hand is a good description of many countries.
21st century dictionaries: White supremacist: noun. Someone who favors equal rights and privileges and obligations for all regardless of race.
I’ve seen it happen in other talks. When he was a guest on a Femsplainers video, he did most of the talking.
More recently, he interviewed Amala Ekpunobi of PragerU, and the same thing occurred (on the Youtube portion; I didn’t see the Daily Wire subscription portion). I was disappointed because she has the rare perspective of an intelligent gung-ho progressive who at one point just realized the internal contradictions, and I was hoping to hear more from her and his commentary.
Well, he’s not perfect. And since he’s a psychologist, I’m sure he knows that’s good for all of us to remember.
I believe the word they’re searching for is “sail”.
During his interview of Theodore Dalrymple I recall wishing he (Peterson) would just shut up for a bit.
Mark Twain first made a name for himself with his reporting on the fate of the Hornet. Perhaps the dunderheads at CNN should read that before uncritically publishing press releases from some French outfit on the make.
So on the off-ish topic of Google (and presumably other search?) failures, I was thinking about an old quote by H.L. Mencken, I search and I get this crap full of Chelsea Handler. Artificial intelligence my ass…
When they’re falling down drunk or just in general?
Heh. And the irony that searching for an H.L. Mencken (“On one issue, at least, men and women agree: they both distrust women.”…many others) quote lands me there. I know how Google got so bloody awful but how did Google get so bloody awful?

Mostly peaceful protests from the religion of mostly peace.
Ah, but…
See? Cutting-edge technology. It’s not just a big sheet of silk on a string, you know. Well, okay, it is that, but it’s… you know…
Software! In a box! Meters! Cables! Data! This is the future, you troglodytes!
Crazy power. Hear that? Oh yes.
Oh, shut up. Crazy power.
Marketing hucksterism.
Fat people are bodybuilders, too, you bigots!
Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish parody from lunacy.
Schizophrenia or drugs?
