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.

Here’s an intriguing combination of statements:
The last one, dare I say it, is somewhat unconvincing.
Well, then it’s all 100% on him then. There’s only him to blame, Mama tried. Hopefully this will be remembered come sentencing time.
True “restorative justice” would include their heads on pikes, outside their parents’ homes.
McDonald’s patrons tackled and beat an armed robber until cops arrived
Kept beating and kicking him until the cops arrived? Sweet.
Heh. Based. McDonalds is becoming Waffle-House-With-A-Purpose.
Kept beating and kicking him until the cops arrived? Sweet.
Utopian Trantifa “Tenacious Unicorn Ranch” has predictable outcome.
More on morons in the video at the end.
In terms of utterly damning symbolism, the radically utopian approach to farming has yet to be topped, I think.
Unicorn ranch: actual farming enforces at least lifestyle conservatism. You must be organized, plan ahead, work long hours, pinch pennies. Dancing on the garden plot with a cape does not…grow anything. As to “right wing threats” most conservatives would do little more than roll their eyes at this crap. No one cares.
The communes I visited back in the day were 1) a way station for drug dealers or 2) supported by an insurance settlement or 3) supported by a rock band.
–Which partially explains why leftists tend to hate actual farmers while talking about their theoretical love of farmers.
One way to stop it.
That’s one way to get “food deserts”.
(The other way is to just lie and “forget” to document actual grocery stores.)
It really is a shame that these people only rarely encounter Paul Kersey.
Resurrecting the “what fraction of therapists are insane?” question.
Heh.
What’s really funny (not) is that none of these b@st@rds will ever pay a price for their ever-so-confident BS. They’re the “smart” people after all. Smaaaaaart. Meanwhile the outraged are cheering on the shooting of insurance company CEO’s. Fauci, Brix, etc. not so much. They get to just fade away.
The story of Christmas.
Resurrecting the “what fraction of therapists are insane?”
Well you can’t spell therapist without the rapist.
The people over at Bluesky – the kinder, gentler platform – can’t seem to decide whether Jesse Singal should merely be banned or beaten to death with hammers.
But either way, it seems that barrages of death threats are perfectly normal over there. And so far as I can see, not subject to moderation or censure.
From what I can make out, Mr Singal has been “provoking” and “tormenting” trans activists and their allies by politely stating unremarkable facts and suggesting that maybe, just maybe, children shouldn’t be drugged and mutilated.
Oh, and some of the people issuing public death threats are now complaining that by taking screen shots of those threats, Mr Singal is “harassing” and “doxing” trans people, and “trying to have them killed.”
Now these more caring, more gentle people are posting Mr Singal’s home address, photos of his front door, and, helpfully, the nearest subway station.
A notable number of the liberals I know who are on social media can’t decide either. Amusingly and ironically their posts alternate between “be kind to everyone” and “punish (or kill) those guilty of WrongThink”.
Heathens.
