Friday Ephemera (768)
Scenic toilet. || Hot cube. || Camera-manning. || Less complicated methods may be available. || Somewhat lacking in elbow room. || Lippy fish. || News flash. || Easily done, I guess. || A tribute to the barf bag. || Unwelcome wobble. || Are you bringing the vulva energy to worldwide contentions? || Liveliness incoming. || “Where are my nunchucks?” || On waffle-stomping as an environmentalist’s solemn duty. || On “diversity” and migration, a short thread. || They call it “equity.” Previously. || On stereotypes. || Scenes from T.J. Maxx. || Spaghetti Junction, 1972. || “Pregnancy is not to be defined by biological phenomena… A transsexual theory of reproduction.” Horseshit ensues. || Employee of note. || In surgery. || Close. || “You need to come real fast.” || Oh, and finally, no, it turns out they can’t.

Don’t care to have your waffles stomped?
Shouldn’t worry about it too much. The notion of showers in the mid-1700s is ludicrous on its face.
Not sure what prompted that, but I have seen “interesting” statistics on the frequency of showering and underwear-changing in various countries.
And that reminds me of a passage in one of the Aubrey-Maturin novels:
“sale comme un peigne” means “as dirty as a comb”.
Is the poster unaware of just how many local accents there are in the UK?
Needed: Policies that make
citizenshoodrats afraid to assault cops. Or better, policies that make them terrified of the consequences of assaulting any good folks.Why in the name of all that’s holy (and all that’s not) do you think that you or anyone else needs to promote or discourage migration AT ALL?
Humanity is not your personal ant farm!
Do they answer that somewhere? Do they say, “We are entitled to resettle people from all corners of the earth because of this Noble Reason?”
Or do they just assume that they’re entitled to engage in whichever project suits their fancy?
So this Mexican ship (ARM Cuauhtémoc) attempted to pass under the Brooklyn Bridge and utterly failed. Grok says that even at very low tide there was not enough clearance for the masts.
Two people are in critical condition. It apparently was participating in some kind of training maneuvers.
So who was the bright light who couldn’t be arsed to compare the mast height with the bridge clearance? Was it a metric-to-imperial conversion problem?
Saving a bebe Canada goose.

Glamorising the primitive is all well and good until you get toothache or some swamp-related infection.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Cross-dressing man needs Pride flag in classroom in order to teach maths.
Supposedly, it’s about making the children feel “comfortable.” Though one might think the flag’s connotations of fetishistic mutilation and life-shortening hormone abuse – and generally being subordinate to a cross-dressing man with mental health issues – might have other effects.
