Friday Ephemera (718)
Burly chap. || Rumble in the urban jungle. || “Somebody is probably in there.” (h/t, Tim) || Suboptimal scenario. || Galvanic baths. || A decolonising dance with bonus string. || Our betters ponder their ancestors. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || Not everyone felt affirmed. || Trout restocking. || He’s a teacher, you know. || It’s a look, I guess. || I laughed and I’m not sorry. || Hot pants interloper. || Perhaps he’d heard it was all the rage. || Parenting the progressive way. || Mugshots of paint huffers. || It’s an excerpt from a longer piece. || “Natalie Perry’s job is to teach med students to ‘do what’s right.'” (h/t, pst314) || Heh. || Something in the ceiling. || The sound of shedding. || Seeks attention, gets it, then complains about the attention in an attention-seeking way. || And finally, unforeseen circumstances.

As sk60 added,
Should any readers be intrigued and wish to book a coaching day to develop those essential ladyperson skills – with shoes, shopping, and wigs – details can be found here. You can, for instance, master the Duchess Slant.

That was a bad time for him to drop his bee smoker.
Well, there is a point there. Just not the way they would like it. Whatever is wrong with this kid, he shouldn’t have been able to do what he did. He should have been in a psychiatric facility and/or been more properly disciplined long before this outburst. But he’s not the one who should be suing the school. The other students and maybe more recent teachers have a case. Also, the lawyers filing this case themselves should be sued. And tarred. And feathered. Along with his parents.
Palestinian and Arab hatred for Jews is every bit as Judenhass as the Nazi hatred. If it weren’t for Judenhass, the universities wouldn’t give a rip about the conflict, any more than they care about Syrians being butchered by their own government or any more than they care about the dozens of other simmering conflicts around the globe.
No other country is held to the same impossibly high, no-win standards. It’s Judenhass all right. Otherwise, explain why the protesters harass random Jewish people just walking around.
According to some reports, she only told him to put the device away. She didn’t attempt to take it away.
DEI offical and “Instagram model” fired because nothing says DIE quite like a swastika.
Niche taste
In a variation on the 1950s deodorant jingle “Let Your Armpits Be Your Charmpits” – Let Your Armpits Be Your Riceball Maker.
Oh dear Link-O-Matic failure
[ Fixes. ]
I think we can chalk that one up to human error.
[Fixes the 404 “Fix”] (assuming the Spam-No-Mor (Ausf. G) doesn’t gag on the Tiny URL link from the Archive link it would gag on)
A moment of sanity at the NHS.
Of course that might explain why this NHS
guygal“worker” seems upset.Likewise the home invader who sued the victim who shot him.
And the home invader’s lawyer.
Easier to blame the machine. It hasn’t any feelings to get hurt. Yet.
Issues with Archive links seem to have to do with DNS queries, not the Link-O-Matic.

Analysis: True. 😀
No, don’t bother, David. I’ll let myself out.
But seriously, I have known many people who took 30 minutes to choose from a menu after spending 15 minutes choosing a restaurant. And never had reservations because they couldn’t plan that far ahead. Few were gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Geeky nerd was the most common trait.
Necrosis does have a rather distinct, pungent, odour
The particular chemical’s common name is cadaverine, for fairly obvious reasons. I don’t know enough org chem to know whether it’s uniquely aromatic or if human beings are just hyper-sensitive to it, again for fairly obvious reasons.
Something bad happened to her or she has witnessed/”learned” from seeing something bad happen to someone close to her
It is always, always, always…you know how this goes.
Geeky nerd was the most common trait
Underdeveloped amygdala. Results in analysis paralysis due to fear of conflict.
One might, then, have a glimmer of hope that they slowly outgrow it. (See the joke that Mensa is for people who are not yet mature enough for the sci-fi fan world, which implies that they might grow more mature in time.)
