Insert Coin For Dancing Monkey
With domain renewal looming, along with other behind-the-scenes overheads, now seems a good time to remind patrons that this rickety barge is kept afloat by the kindness of strangers. If you’d like to help it remain buoyant a while longer, and remain ad-free, there are three buttons below the fold with which to monetise any love. Debit and credit cards are accepted.
If one-click haste is called for, there’s a QR code in the sidebar, at which you point your phone, and my PayPal.Me page can be found here. As requested, I’ve added SubscribeStar and Ko-Fi accounts, via which love may also be monetised, whether as one-off donations or monthly subscriptions.
Additionally, any Amazon UK shopping done via this link, or for Amazon US via this link, or via the buttons in the sidebar, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you. Feel free to buy things wildly and in bulk.
For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last sixteen years, in over 3,000 posts and 200,000 comments, the reheated series is a pretty good place to start – in particular, the end-of-year summaries, which convey the fullest flavour of what it is we do. A sort of blog concentrate. If you like what you find there… well, there’s lots more of that.
Do take a moment to poke through the discussion threads too. The posts are intended as starting points, not full stops, and the comments are where much of the good stuff is waiting to be found. And do please join in.
As always, thanks for the support, the comments, and the company.
Oh yes. The buttons:
Coin inserted. Thanks, barkeep.
Ping!
Bless you, sir, and bless you, madam. May you never spend two minutes looking for your phone, bewildered, only to find it sitting on the charger, on your desk, where you put it, four minutes earlier.

Also, ping!
As Instapundit often quips, “Maybe letting the enemies of our civilisation teach our children was a mistake.”
Bless you, sir. May dust never settle on the up-facing surfaces of your hob extractor hood.
PING!
Thanks for the laughs and woke madness.
Tip jar hit.
Bless you, sirs. May your lunchtime hot roast pork sandwich never be adorned with unwanted, sickly apple sauce. Or those shards of nickel-iron meteorite known as “crackle.”
I feel your pain.
P.S. Ping!
Excellent blogging, David. Tip jar has been hit.
Bless you, madam, and bless you, sir. May you know the pleasure of new towels.
The Béres sandwich-shop chain seems to use some kind of overly sweet wallpaper paste.
Previously in our gracious host’s blessings:
May your towels never be darkened by unwanted houseguests.
May your towels remain orderly even in times of crisis.
May your towels never lose their fluffiness, even after many washes.
May your towels remain fragrant after even the lengthiest spell in storage.
May your towels stay fragrant when houseguests descend.
May you never know the trauma of malodorous towels.
May your towels be fluffsome and coordinated.
May your towels dry with pleasing rapidity.
When dried, may your towels be soft and fluffy, not akin to cardboard.
May your detergent liquitabs always dissolve properly, even on a cool wash, and not leave your towels tainted with a kind of blue, rubbery snot.
No Farty Towels yet, though.

They also claim anti-antifa symbolism is yte supremacist, and likewise ACAB, a favorite slogan of antifa, so I guess that makes antifa hwite supremacists.
Some smart cookies there at the ADL. 7 6 25.

Lest we forget:
The Scientific American article – essentially, a pile of basic logical errors and monomaniacal question-begging – was hailed by the publication’s editor-in-chief, Ms Laura Helmuth, as an “important analysis.”
…a pile of basic logical errors and monomaniacal question-begging…
An obvious white supremacist has thoughts about Kendi.
Imagine the family reunions.
Everyone remember where we parked.
Thanks to all who’ve chipped in so far, or subscribed, or done shopping via the Amazon links, including all those much too shy to say hello. It’s much appreciated and is what keeps this place here.
Interesting way to get out of doing math homework.
One of the many reasons Scientific American is now less authoritative than the Weekly World News.
A recent article in The Wall Street Journal by David Decosimo (likely paywalled) also takes Henry Rogers to task.
*ping*
That particular Scientific American article – and Ms Helmuth’s reaction to readers pointing out its errors – is a pretty good illustration of how wokeness is, quite literally, stupefying.
Bless you, sir. May your bathroom floor mat not look like it’s been on fire.

You can get to it by clicking the link here, and why is it all these loons always have screwball eyeglasses?
And yet there’s no tag for “Towels”.
There are actually two. For instance.
Porn star priorities.
“Ping!”
Ah, Canuckistan.
What’s their police motto again? Is it “They always get their man re-instated“?
Pushback.
Consider your tip jar pinged, barkeep.
Bless you, sirs. Should an emergency arise, may your toolboxes be orderly and free of dust.

Ping!

I hear that Presidential candidate and bombastic race-blatherer Cornel West has changed political affiliations. Again.
Still at least he makes such wonderful campaign promises. Just for starters:
If only someone else had thought of those. What a certified philosophical genius!
Coffee.
Java.
If only someone else had thought of those. What a certified philosophical genius!
I’m guessing he doesn’t read the newspapers about how those are going.
Bless you, madam. May your kettle boil briskly and yet quietly.
Abolish habitually bad decision-making.
Abolish mental health problems.
Abolish addictive tendencies.
Abolish low IQs.
And so on, and so forth.
One might be tempted to think calling our time The Age of Stupid is hyperbole.
It really isn’t.
For $20 you can get his yard sign which also doubles as a Jerry Garcia sign.
West is much too elevated to let facts disturb his view.
Step aside ladies, we got this.

It’s vacuous enough to persuade me to vote for a candidate honestly campaigning under the slogan “Lies, Corruption, Hate“.
Unless that was Clinton’s motto already?
The one from Portugal does look more . . . realistic . . . than the one from the Netherlands.
