Friday Ephemera (781)
You want one and you know it. || They watched the wheels leave without them. || Meet the cosmologists, 1963. || At last, humanoid robot kickboxing. || Bearing gifts. || He was hiding in the girls’ toilets. Previously. || Apparently, the hormones widened his eyes and made his glasses grow. || Neighbour of note. || The joys of social interaction. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || Switched-on and swinging in Caracas, 1969. || Hair crisis, 2025. || Clearly, bold choices were made. || Low impulse control. || On personality and pet preference. || Feedback loop. Also, inevitably, pronouns in bio. || More joys of public transport. || The progressive retail experience, parts 649, 650, 651, 652, 653, and 654. || Poison in the social bloodstream. || Something error happen. || Paint job. || Pleats. || Trolley problem.

Import unvetted third world people, get unvetted third world crime.
Betcha the arsonists are illegal immigrants.
“If I was to go to the job centre tomorrow and say I’ve got nowhere to live can you put me in a hotel & I want 3 meals a day & £70 a week, they wouldn’t give me it, I would have to fend for myself but if I came on a boat I would get it all & it’s not fair”
A lady with 2 children has got evicted and the Council won’t help her until she is actually homeless with her children. She is fuming as would be housed, fed and watered if an illegal. As soon as she said the word ‘illegals’ at the Council she got called racist.
Almost a dozen Travellers turned up with caravans on our nearby playing fields Wednesday night,as someone said on our local website “If we did the same thing we’d be carted off and arrested in no time at all”.
The ruling class is working very hard to be hated by normal decent people.
More about Jill’s post-crime mentality can be seen here.
Please try not to laugh…harder.
Never mind France and Belgium. It’s been a while since we’ve hated the Germans
Not just the Germans. Their customers also.
Shhhh. Art is being created.
So, David, what do Brits call this?

It’s a crust, but then I’m from the wrong side of Offa’s Dyke.
I don’t know what the English call it but I’ll bet that the American name is even crazier…
May be called something different in other parts of America but I’ve always called it the heel.
You do know that’s a more Beemer-specific joke. Anyway…
Don’t know if anyone recalls the stink that was raised regarding the Conservative Political Action Conference stage in Orlando back in 2021. It was supposedly based on a Nazi rune. I specifically recall it coming out that the specific guy who designed it couldn’t keep his mouth shut and admitted that he wanted to embarrass the conservatives with this nazi rune association. Anyway as I went digging via Grok trying to find that now buried information, Grok informed me of this absurdity:
Same here. I’ve honestly never heard it called anything else.

Don’t use facts to undermine my ethnic slurs.
Curious. Do you also use that term for the exterior of the other slices?
In ‘Murica the heel is the end of the loaf and the crust is the exterior of other slices.
Happening scene.
Anybody else watch that with the sound off and hear Thomas the Tank Engine music instead?
“hate the germans” check out “Robwords” videos on youtube on origins of English. About 1/3 of English is from Germanic roots (via several invasions) and it is thanks to the vikings that we don’t have gendered nouns (la and le etc). He is both annoying and fascinating (just to clarify). Note the “natur” part of the german word for science.
Happening scene: trying to prove once again that white people can’t dance, esp the guy in the skirt–at the end one young lady does know how to dance. Stoned white people even worse dancers.
No lie detected.

Don’t mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right.
