Friday Ephemera (706)
I always start my day this way. || I laughed and I’m not sorry. || The legend of Bum Farto. || “These holes are inhabited.” || He wants to teach you a lesson, repeatedly, with an airhorn. || 1940s IT. || Taking sides. || “Too much cheese” finally achieved. || Tourist attraction of note. || The Women of the Pussy Cat Club, 1970. || Liveliness in Wakefield. || Warfare, 1963. || Neighbours and renovations, 1981. || She paid for an affirming penis and is not entirely satisfied. (NSFW) || The progressive retail experience, parts 528, 529, 530, 531 and 532. || Pouring. || The thrill of salad. || He’s doing it for the little kiddies, you understand. || Mail theft. || The thrill of fluff. || Somewhat fluff-related. || Further to this from last week, question asked. || Feel your age. || And finally, it fits in his hand.

From this morning’s NYT news (and fluff) digest:
Aside from certain sectors of academia, that last sentence might very well be in the running for greatest atrocity against English ever.
Children are our future.
God help us.
Someone’s getting something under the table.
[ Steps more fully into self. ]
[Hillary Clinton enters the chat to accuse aelfheld and pst314 of collusion]
Man thinks his purse makes him a woman.
Well excellent then. I still use a couple of aging iPods for music in our vehicles. They need to be replaced as the batteries are now shit and thus everything starts from the beginning if the car sits for more than a couple days. I have used Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora but they all come with distractions and complications and other burdens. I paid for music, I still have many of the CD’s and some other stuff scraped from early file sharing and Apple Store purchases. I just want my own music and only my music (no one sneaking Journey into my country and blues station), independent of the unreliable and frequently where I live unavailable mobile or wi-fi sources. My recent inquiries as to MP3 players or whatever have been met by a combination of ok-boomer eye-rolling and hipster enthusiasm.
I would like to state at this time that I have no incriminating information about the Clintons.
Man thinks his purse makes him a woman.
Just blue skying here, but maybe because your efforts to look like a female are utter rubbish?
Meanwhile, Our Future™ having been mentioned…
♫♪My object all sublime
I shall achieve in time —
To let the punishment fit the crime —
The punishment fit the crime;♫♪
…or maybe not.
My recent inquiries as to MP3 players or whatever…
Something like this? Is the only one with a brand I have ever heard of…
Buggered-up link.
[ Frowns in disapproval.]
Please forget all the links that I have buggered up. That’s different somehow.
Buggered up link…
So much better than HTML…
I work on the assumption that some of you have been drinking heavily and are typing while in charge of a moving vehicle. Which is on fire. During an earthquake.
“Oh, no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was
BeautyClimate Change killed the Beast”Man thinks his purse makes him a woman.
He is sporting a certain bag-lady chic–an ensemble to be worn in only the worst parts of town, which, I believe, includes Walmart.
Still sweating, thanks for asking.
It being the weekend I breakfasted on Bloody Marys (Maryes, Maries?). With a hint of Stilton. (My entire fridge reeks of cheese)
Hic!
And so, the competitively progressive view – as mouthed by our bandana-wearing chappie – is that purses and pink are the very essence and definition of womanhood. The stuff of which women are made.
Can recommend.
And here I thought they died off because no one made an SUV big enough for them to fit more than two Giant Ape child seats. Well, that and the fruit thing, sure.
Well, phew. No-one wants those extracts of unnatural seaweed. I’ve seen Godzilla!
Oh, I can bugger up a link while perfectly sober…in a comfy chair…in a quiet house.
[ Smug smile of misplaced sense of superiority ]
From the article:
So firstly – RACIST!
And secondly – er what? “Forested plains”?
Collins dictionary (and everybody else): “A plain is a large, flat area of land with very few trees on it.”
I suppose we should be grateful that the obsession-du-jour those incompetent illiterate arse-wipes at NBC chose on which to blame the extinction of some semi-mythical pre-historic creature wasn’t transphobia.
Climate change has been a hypothesis for the extinction of various species long before the current Global Warming cult. So, it’s possible that this study was done entirely in good faith. But in today’s era of rampant academic corruption, how can an amateur know?
But, don’t you know, when us ladies object to being reduced to an object by such male affirmation, we aren’t just insincere, we’re mercenary. There are no other reasons for not accepting males as women.
So, it’s possible that this study was done entirely in good faith. But in today’s era of rampant academic corruption, how can an amateur know?
You’re too kind. The extinctionists would have us believe that the majority of modern day extinctions are occurring among species that have yet to be discovered. It’s worse than we thought, obviously.
Further to last week’s rumblings about the latest Star Wars director, here’s more.
I’m sure your anticipation is now at feverish levels.
A very British trolley problem, so to speak.
The interviewer’s “… and the women who are enabling and facilitating The Patriarchy”
So, I guess all the females deemed too chummy with culture-making men are to be “broken” too. No wonder these “We are finally going to present A Strong Woman lead” *itches readily dismiss characters from Ripley in Alien to Princess Leia in the original Star Wars. Men wrote them and actresses of insufficient wokeness played them.
So they never existed. I hope this finally breaks Disney.
The sensitivity only goes one way.
Likely story.
A good host knows his guests.
Hoping for a reprise of the bar scene (First Film)and the establishment seething with henchlesbians in all shapes and firms.
Diversity doesn’t have to include everyone.
Meh. All that I can handle. While chewing gum as well. I don’t think I’ve buggered a link yet since the switch to the new platform. Though I sense that won’t last long as these nights without sleep are accumulating again.
For which, my gratitude is inexpressible.
I’ve lived in Chicago for 69 years and never heard of the Rat Hole.
There is always the Great Chicago Rat Hole: That thing politicians pour taxpayer money down.
Diana Moon Glampers will be paying you a visit.
There was a news story a few years ago praising a California school for being “100% diverse”. In other words, all the children were black.
They left out dim-witted tax and regulatory policies. Maybe that’s supposed to go under “human-made disasters”
