Friday Ephemera (759)
Hot gasses. || Algae and turtles. || Ah, that would explain the cones and tape. || “It had three tentacles and started tapping on my window.” || Not in fact a dog. || Ditto. || Definitely pregnant. || The progressive retail experience, parts 618, 619, 620, and 621. || She advises on mental health and her pronouns are turtle. || Packaging of note. || The future of shopping, 1982. || Leg man. || That can’t be good. || Gummi innards. || Excessive jiggling. || Ice integrity test. || Loving the monster in modern academia. || And speaking of academia, from The Journal of Lesbian Studies. || Hey, baby. Wanna reproduce? || “Heads for all occasions.” || Green Party’s Carla Denyer ponders womanhood. || A Guardian retrospective. || Unforeseen difficulties. || And finally, I’m sure it seemed a good idea at the time.

Aquatic troll dolls.
Chili con carne, the aftermath.
Is ‘trans-dog’ the same as ‘furry’? The score-card’s a mess.
Can’t have Musk thinking he’s a good guy.
In some cases the problem lies in it being halted.
Could have been worse. Instead of an American accent they could have imitated received pronunciation.
Every now & then the right thing happens to those who deserve it.
Silly me, thinking Brexit was about heaving all the Euro-nonsense over the gunwales.
Burge’s 1st Law.
I suspect the green color is due to copper wires in the flames.
“What is a woman”: I would point out that older men whose T goes to zero do not stop being and acting like men, albeit with less energy and sex drive.
Also, feminists have demanded that so many feminine things be no longer done (dresses, having children, makeup, girl hobbies, cooking, etc) that it is not surprising that they cannot answer the question. They also deny that actual women differ from men in feelings and attitudes (toward risk, goals, safety, colors, foods, everything).
Physics professor discloses in 1 minute the full insight of Quantum Mechanics.
Current political/cultural insanities, summed up in a 26 second video.
This. Every word of this.
And not related to St Paddy’s Day?
Imagine spending years in an environment where assumptions of the kind seen here are the statusful norm, endlessly reinforced, and all but mandatory.
Underground leprechaun incinerators?
FE Lee Muldoon:
I did not link the Canadian item below since the story is paywalled (Blacklocks) but it seemed relevant in terms of your link on preening,
The Treasury Board is hiring private tutors to coach Black federal employees on how to learn French, records show. Too few Black staff are passing bilingual proficiency tests required for promotion as executives, it said: “Language training has been identified as a barrier for Black employees’ advancement.”
Justice delayed is justice denied. The amount of criminal mischief that Mann alone has done in the interim is incalculable. But it’s nothing compared to the amount of civilization-destroying evil that has been committed in the name of this junk science.
MBH98, Mann’s famous tree-ring paper. MM2003, McIntyre and McKitrick’s deft take-down of that paper. Having read MM2003, I came away embarrassed for Mann, because his errors were so egregious. I reckoned he’d be laughed out of the profession.
When instead he continued to be feted and praised, I knew something was horribly wrong in the scientific community. If scientists had taken MM2003 seriously, two decades of emotional and economic terrorism could have been snuffed out in its cradle.
Mann’s case against Steyn would have been summarily dismissed with prejudice.
Humanity really is a hot mess. Where’s the reset button?
“Us normal people”
The weather tomorrow is expected to be between 5 and 8° Celsius. Which is low forties in that heathen Fahrenheit system used in the colonies. We are therefore, obviously, venturing to the coast.
In March. In Britain.
[ Digs out goggles, big coat. ]
“The Vagina Museum shutting down over trans controversy is a bit too on the nose for the writers room of reality, don’t you think?”
Obviously the problem lies with the thermometer. Over here we have been getting warnings for about a week now about some terrible, horrible, real bad, no good weather that is supposed to arrive tomorrow into Sunday. It’s supposed to come out of Missouri, which…well…anyhow, I don’t want to jinx anything but this is the weather radar right now.
The weather tomorrow is expected to be between 5 and 8° Celsius. Which is low forties in that heathen Fahrenheit system used in the colonies.
You do know that you are using a French perversion (aren’t they all) of Celsius’ original scale?
You don’t want to be know as a Francophile now, do you?
“It is un-English, it is un-American; it is French.”

I have suspicions that she is not, in fact, a turtle.
Do you mean the cannibalism, the city council appointment, the transgenderism or the unfortunate photos?
Ripley said it best: “I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
“And what was your first clue that something wasn’t quite right?”
From the article, lest we forget:
Needless to say, some of the district’s residents are not entirely happy.
Meanwhile, among progressive journalists with fabulist pronouns in their bios:
Note that the normie ladies seen in the video linked above are now “far right men.”
Not entirely unrelated.
Would you believe this man has gone as far
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for president
Simpler times.
Maybe a repeat, but at least it wasn’t air traffic controllers.
Erin does the heavy lifting to ensure that if you are jonesing for some Girl Scout Cookies, you’ll know the best sources.
No delivery in Sector 9 after curfew.
Update on that runner who concusssed an opponent with her baton: The NAACP has now joined her parents in proclaiming that she dindu nuffin. In spite of the release of a second video from another perspective that also show an assault.
There’s a tick box for ‘eats people’? Or does that fall under ‘Other interests’?
See how easy it is to transition?
True?
I’d expect that “something’s not right” red flags could be seen in interviews.
And social media searches on job candidates are now routine.
I sympathise with the empiricist definition.
I’ll just leave this here:
And so we get a clearly unhinged cross-dressing man being hired as a teacher and promptly sharing his sexual fantasies with middle-school children.
IIRC, Switzerland is neutral in part because everyone got tired of losing to them.
Well, let’s see. A confederation cobbled up and includes the French – yeah, true
You can only see red flags if you open your eyes.
This not-so-fine, not-so-young, cannibal is a male pretending to be a female and those who appointed ‘her’ freely participated in the farce.
Bad news for liberals.
Well waddaya know? Looks like the experts do know a thing or two. Well, a thing at least.
I have tried to stay out of this fight for years now but dammit, time to get off the fence I suppose. Ever since I learned that sometimes Pluto slips inside the orbital range of Neptune (or is it Uranus? Never could keep those two straight) I suppose I have been a Territorialist. Any heavenly body that fails to respect another, larger body’s territory should not be respected. It’s a camels-nose-in-the-tent principle. No telling where such things could lead.
Many of the links I click show only an “X” on a black background.
The X links are working fine for me, whether I log into my account or not. (Though I can only see replies if I log in.)
