Friday Ephemera (782)
Big beast incoming. || Interspecies battle of wits. || Cheeeldren of the night. || Eight literally dark days in history. || Trajectory detected. || Trajectory detected 2. || Gratuitous gesture. || A gathering of dragons. || Hot and steamy jiggling. || The joy of budgeting, 1957. || Suboptimal driving mindset. || It’s a “joyful noise” of resistance, see, so suck it up, neighbour. || It involves a rug. || “No recognition was given for improving literacy, numeracy, or classroom learning outcomes.” || On history and the tragic vision. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || On medical ethics and body modification. || Over a vape. || For portable storage. || The progressive retail experience, parts 655, 656, 657 and 658. || Experiments in sudden-onset upwardsness. || Finger licking good. || And finally, somewhat flappy at speed.

Apropos: This article from 2003 on why middle class black kids fail in school:
The article cites a culture that despises kids who work hard as “acting white”.
That pathology was widespread when I was a child in the 60’s, and still pervades black America today.
See also, the Smithsonian African American Museum’s page that I’ve mentioned before which disparages various attitudes and behaviors conducive to success as “whiteness”.
Black America needs less pride and more shame.
David always disappoints me with these provocative tag lines.
Better used here.
It’s time to make fun of the Dutch.
Lucas all grown up?

I’ll send myself for re-grooving….
“We have these assault rifles that can reel off 30 clips, in conjunction with a magazine.”
“The West Should Welcome Gaza Refugees”: These two shit-stains take to the Wall Street Journal to lecture the West that it should accept the “Gaza refugees” that Israel and the Arab neighbors are wise enough to reject.
And “refugees” from the Middle East and North Africa and South Asia and elsewhere have proven to be unassimilable invaders.
What level of malice is sufficient to explain such false moral instruction?
