A compendium of near misses. || The thrill of automation. || Taken: The Musical. || Snugger than thou. || Augmented-reality surgery. || The machine uprising, day 10. || Bigger than yours. || How to scare children. || I have a question for the ladies. || Modern slutting woes. || You want one and you know it. || A lot can happen in two weeks. || The airport passenger you’ve always wanted. || A trip to the shops. || He has an all-pink apartment. || The progressive retail experience, parts 628 and 629. || “Don’t expect passing to get rid of your dysphoria.” Related. || You’re threatened by her creativity. || Rather overshadowing the task at hand. || A situation had arisen. || Trans wing of Antifa showing their inner loveliness. || The fangs are the icing on the nightmare cake. || An unorthodox fight scene.

Weren’t we just discussing littering?
Incoming.
That’s one angry bread slicer.
I think it may be a machine for making un-toastable bread. The randomly shaped lumps being suitable only for gnawing and dunking.
Circularity?
Band name.
wasn’t there a Ray Bradbury story about angry appliances?
“…his codpiece hits different…”
I feel I should be fist-bumping someone.
Sound comparison.
[ Fetches velvet bag full of razor sharp and/or sticky objects. ]
Do help yourself.
Seems that congress critter who shouts profanities at Trump (Crockett?) has been getting (or family has been getting) social security since 2004 from a dead relative. Contra claims by the left that it is “absurd” to think that dead people are getting SS. hahaha but claims it is their personal business (in a sense true).
A fashion choice was made.
One more for the compendium of near misses:

That’s been going around. I saw it at Insty and reposted it on FB without checking. A conservative, a real conservative not the RINO fake kind, friend of mine said it was fake news. Everything I checked pointed to the source as being a satirical site. Others pointed out that the same trope had been used previously regarding other leftists. If you can find a trustworthy source, let me know.
Glenn Reynolds/Stephan Green should know better than to fall for that.

On educated people opining on crime, a thread.
I strongly suspect it wasn’t the restaurant but his youthful taste buds.
F Muldoon:
Racial bias in jury verdicts.
…where jury trials had to be abolished in favor of bench trials…
Some friends of my father were attorneys in Chicago. They had defended many accused black criminals. One of them said (and the others agreed) that when an accused black saw another black on the bench, he’d say “Get me a honky judge.” Apparently (at that time) black judges tended to be very hard on black miscreants, while white judges were usually dismissive.
This, this, this.
I long ago lost track of the number of acquaintances who were educated fools.

Excellent prank.
