Friday Ephemera (749)
Bathroom visitor. || His bouncy shoes. || Nail-biting scenes from a Japanese bed-making competition. || Chompy-chompy. || Saying more than I think they realise. || The Ashmolean advent calendar. || You have not died of dysentery, a game for all the family. || Tidiness at all times. || Tiger Sweat, Torso, and other male cosmetics, 1966. || One or two? || Today’s word is briskly. || Non-binary stand-up. || Peekaboo. || Sofa compression of note. || Positioning of note. || Pornographers in Soho, 1979. || “Wrong gas station,” they said, nonchalantly. || Winter wheels. || Caviar. || Sea cow. || Cheeeldren of the night. || He knows if you’ve been naughty. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || Are you here for the flattery or for the scolding? || Cliffhanger. Fear not. || And finally, in fashion news, an unforeseen sock crisis.

As noted here before, to assume that a burglar is anything other than an existential threat seems foolish in the extreme.

Nonsense, you just have to follow the fairness rules.
When the chaff separates itself.
And skill.
Let us visit The World Of Science…
Poliovirus keeps popping up in European wastewater, perplexing and worrying scientists
I think I solved the mysterious mystery.
Sanity from the Antipodes:
Cue the ululations…
“My rice bowl has been broken”, he added. (OK, I was reading between the lines a bit)
Oh no, how will we know Indigenous Ways of Knowings™?
What kinds of replacement jobs do we propose for them?
The grandfather should be charged along with the others.
I am convinced troons do not know any actual women, because I have never known, or even seen one, who acts like this.
Garbage sorting. How else will they get their pagpag?
Obama gets in a final blow: Biden admin releases $10billion funds to Iran. Why do they love Iran? It is hardly a prog mecca. These funds have been funding missiles aimed at Israel. Sick sick behavior.
Why do they love Iran?…These funds have been funding missiles aimed at Israel.
Only a conspiracy theorist would even entertain the slightest suspicion of an inkling of an iota of a connection.
Which in turn raises the question of whether the ladies’ behaviour is driven by a conviction that they’re right, or by a concern for how they would be seen, and judged, by their female peers.
Thank you! Now the talk of patient zero and spreading infection make sense – and why I think the latter in the above is the correct reason.
“It’s annoying when Chomsky is right.”
The ice makes it classy.
Heh.
Regarding the subway psychotic, a non-trivial footnote.
Is Heinz now a sponsor of this blog?
Scaring people. This has become standard procedure among activists. Air pollution/smoking etc was not merely annoying or bad for you but would kill you instantly. Climate change would not merely be a problem but would be the end of humanity. Trump does not merely have policies we (dems) don’t like but is literally hitler. It is all made much worse when the media blindly report this crap. For example, the forecasts for rising sea levels are for hundreds of years from now, but media just says the coastal areas will drown.
sofa: they do this with foam mattresses (rolled up tight). You can find vids where someone cuts the plastic and the mattress springs to life and throws them across the room.
Equity!
I should not have turned up the volume for that “Cliffhanger” story.
Edmonton, Ontario, Canada. Really?
Attention, British taxpayers:
£318,510, since you ask.
The Left has (perhaps deliberate) reading/viewing/listening comprehension problems. In “Baby its cold outside” both the male and female singers take turns urging the guy to stay. Not rape.
They objected to Sound of Music because there are Nazis….who are the bad guys.
In To Kill a Mockingbird they misconstrue the plot completely.
In Huckleberry Finn they had fits because Finn uses the N word….at a time when that was the norm. In Finn also, the black character has a role to play in pointing out the racism of whites. Could not do that unless he was/had been (can’t remember) a slave.
In Dunkirk they complained there were no POC….at a time when England was very very white.
It must be hard work being this dumb.
Burglary and the death penalty: if you watch cop shows (the reality ones) it is clear that many robberies/burglaries end in the victim dead. You cannot assume someone entering your home is just going to take your TV and leave peacefully. Rape might also be on the menu. or death
Don’t think you quite got your money’s worth there.
A bit late, all things considered.
And it won’t change the minds of any of the liberal cunts I argued with as the Duke Lacrosse hoax scandal unfolded. But then, nothing ever does.
Re: David’s browser history. (From Sarah Hoyt)
It’s alright, David. We love you anyway.
A man-bites-dog story.
Killing monsters is illegal but not immoral.
A thought: If the police do not yet know the identity of the passenger who shot the young boy, it must be because the driver said “I don’t do police” to which they could reply “Do you do ‘getting beaten by ten of the boy’s relatives?’ “
Duke lacrosse players: one player was on a bank ATM video across town at the time of the alleged event–Mike Nifong would not remove his name from the accused list. All of them lost their scholarships and could not play (IIRC) in spite of not guilty verdict (too late). The faculty at Duke all jumped on “guilty” from day one. Shameful. I believe several years later Nifong was disbarred, but again too late.
Attention, British taxpayers:
So the non-Sacred Indigenous People of Great Britain have to give up their heating dole payments so that British academics can go overseas and study the Sacred Indigenous Peoples of the former colonies? Or how water interacts with the Sacred Indigenous Peoples, or ..? I am confused as to why the British taxpayer has anything to do with Alaskan natives.
That’s correct. And a prosecutor has to fuck up very badly and very publicly to get disbarred.
When pensioners hope that Santa will bring them coal for Christmas.
While I hope that Santa will bring “liberals” muggings and burglaries.
Castles.
We shouldn’t have to share a country with these people.
Suitable for some of the items posted on this blog:
Isn’t it the woman who’s leaving?
I guess the roles get reversed in some versions, tho.
It’s annoying when Chomsky complains about a phenomenon that he was a key part of creating.
“Tim Walz and his wife are like the super nice, quirky couple that you meet in the middle of a post-apocalyptic film…
“And about 15 minutes into your conversation, you realize that they eat people.”
Looks like they want to divide people by race.
I would guess that what’s being said in one room may not be entirely consonant with what’s being said in the other. Two sets of lies.

Because black students must be “empowered,” made even more glorious. While white devils must be made to “unlearn” their wicked ways.
I hadn’t heard of this psychopath before.
If that shows up in a James Bond movie, assuming proper James Bond movies will ever be made again, you know how some henchman is going to die. Most likely while trying to kill Bond, James Bond with it.
And in problematic casting news.
I was in a meeting in a conference room on something like the 35th floor of an office building in Cincinnati. Across the street, at about that same altitude, was a building with some architectural 45 degree sloped roof. I think it was all glass but, whatever. At some point during the meeting a worker had ventured out and was descending down that slope. There was nothing that I could see that would stop him if he slipped. Pretty sure he had a safety harness but from that distance it wasn’t really clear. Extremely distracting.
Exactly. Unnecessary complications are the bane of serious engineering. Fun tho. What used to amuse my car buddies back in the 70’s was that designers go to great effort to hide the headlights, designing the car for superior streamlining yet all that effort is meaningless, made worse even, once you need to drive it in the dark.
