Friday Ephemera (703)
Spider in car, some agitation. || The periodic table of tools. || Which party is the aggressor? || “Goes in a lady’s handbag… ideal for picnics.” || “Stay proud,” he said. || “Children with liberal parents more likely to suffer from mental health problems.” || A possible explanation for why cyclists are unloved. || Local colour. || Lively scenes. || At last, a solution to truancy. || Model citizen. || Short quiz. || Remembrance, you say. || The progressive retail experience, parts 524, and 525. || The pipe-smoking woman. || Pleasing habitats, a thread. || Transportation issues. || Well, frankly, you’d never tire of this. || The times, they are a-changin’. || Sir, your mental health problems are not her responsibility. || The freshness can’t be faulted. || And finally, with the holidays looming, some festive scenes.

And once you start playing The Pronoun Game, a game of pretend, it’s by no means clear how you might stop pretending before things veer into farce. Which, as we’ve seen, they very often do.
Hanania: “Guy avoids using pronouns by calling a transgender co-worker “my esteemed colleague,” thereby hacking civil rights law and HR tyranny.”
Funny, but it’s a working hack only until the blacklist gets updated next Monday: “my esteemed colleague” as a transphobic dogwhistle; or the use of an unusual form of words when other colleagues are addressed by their name.
Is there some way I can be above it all, my cold formal politeness conveying my patrician contempt but presenting no radar profile for the DIE commissars to lock into? No, you’re not the first person to think of it – they’ve seen your type before in thousands of hours of diversity training sessions.
This. Thisity this this this. Let go of the desire to “be above it all”. It’s an avoidance technique. Ultimately you will not be excused because they will not stop trying to control you until they are stopped. Someone needs to stand up to them. You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem.
You know you want one.

I’m going to have to re-evaluate everything. *Everything*, do you understand?
Did you read that text?
David, where are the damn henchlesbians when they are desperately needed? And don’t try to fob me off with lame excuses about holiday leave…
Oh well
They grade FAFO 101 on a pass/fail and she passed.
My name is Norman Bates/I’m just a normal guy
Autogynephile and/or dysmorphic men “skin-walking” or “skin-suiting” their mothers and wives – trying to emulate their appearance – does seem to be a recurring theme. Quite how the mothers and wives in question feel about this, I leave to the reader.

An offspring has a resemblance to a parent. Whoa, wait till the geneticists hear about this new mindblowing phenomenon.
Saw this over at Ace. Rather long and I only quote half of it because it’s contained within a much longer post with no link to this specific comment but I would suggest his link and reading the rest.

Sounds like you may be suffering the effects of a severe cadmium deficiency.
You’re a bad person. Possibly evil, too.
Possibly evil, too.
Me evil? Look at what was going on in this Zoom meeting.
Signs of cultural decline, #241.
Re the above, I’m just going to leave this here.
I’m gonna just sit right here, nursing my double, until.the henchlesbians restore some semblance of decorum.
By the way, what’s in this “double”? Looks kinda…gray.
Don’t think that’s a pickled walnut.

Just drink it, it is cadmium enriched.
A “professor” speaks. Not especially coherently, but speaks nonetheless, and informs us of the libraries and inventions and other “brilliant” things that various African and apparently other POCs (not just the natives) were doing in North America before “raggedy” wypipo showed up.
Is our children learning?
Not entirely unrelated:
Just in case anyone had assumed such sentiments were uncommon.
Racist librarian: if feelings and ideology rule, you can say anything. The highest civilization in the Americans in 1500 lacked a written language (well, some hieroglyphs in middle america), the wheel, bronze or iron, etc etc. They did have weaving and cotton. Pretty primitive. In North America, it was strictly the Neolithic (agriculture but flint tools).
Eliminationist rhetoric is so in fashion. Just ask 3 uni presidents.
Time for that nifty photo contrasting Oxford vs. Aztec.
Farnsworth, you gonna keep teasing us with those ads, onsie twosie, or are you gonna drop a link to the motherlode?
We tried that. We got teachers sleeping with their students.
Saw that video just before stopping here to see if someone here had seen it. I unfortunately wasn’t able to view more than the first 30 seconds or so before it broke up. Not sure what’s with that but that first 30 seconds or so, where she implies/infers/whatever that wypipo believes dat dere ways of being human is da only ways of being human…etc. etc. etc…and then refers to the defensiveness of wypipo on this…THAT part she understands and gets traction on. The usual leftist actors have brainwashed the vast majority of white people, and others who are of similar, otherwise rational mindsets to believe that western civilization (speaking more generally and properly) has something to atone for. The very defensiveness of the west becomes proof of their culpability. Western society needs to stop falling into this trap, stop defending itself and go on the offensive. Answer/respond to all such accusations with by raising and emphasizing the failures of the left and especially by refuting the Noble Savage crap. Do not defend and definitely do not apologize. Acknowledge where necessary, when cornered, but only in the context of broader history. Do not apologize. The west did, and currently does more to correct those problems than any other civilization of its time. Opportunities to reverse the decline are running out.
Fair point.
Well, they’re learning something.
Another sale on bar snacks.
I’m guessing the ox groin will come out after the inverted pork rectums are gone.
