Friday Ephemera (784)
A project for the weekend, requires detergent sprinkles. || Oh, I dunno, a little picky, methinks. || Improbable levitation. || Why, what did you see? || So how was your day? || You don’t get to, says she. || She’s looking for the perfect liberal. Note obligatory pinching of fingers. || “Sneaking… Mum’s underwear,” says he. || Schoolgirling scenes. || Signage issues. || Signs of enrichment. || Hugging occurred. || Mr Hopper liked to wear his sister’s clothes, but that’s not the detail you’re going to remember. || For everything, a time and a place. || Guitar playing, simplified. || Moustachioed woman has thought. || Mistakes were made. || Birds of the night. || Highway intervention. || Just another fifty times, dear human. || And finally, via Elephants Gerald, big-hair Kirk and the milk-stealing Klingons.

Heh. Presumably, they study the videos of their ideological peers and copy what they see, consciously or otherwise. As I’ve said before, the uniformity – both mental and behavioural – is quite striking, and a little eerie.
Says madam,
So, madam goes out of her way to create a problem – by conflating every political position except her own rather narrow one as being the same thing and therefore totally unacceptable – and then films herself complaining about the consequences of that conflation. And she bemoans her self-inflicted difficulties in finding a romantic partner while showcasing her obnoxiousness and making every effort to sound like an insufferable bitch.
The mental process does, I think, have some symbolic properties.
Teamwork.
I’m not sure what she’s talking about about but her eye “decorations” look retarded.
Incoming.
Moustachioed woman has thought.
So does this one, OK, not an actual thought, just what she was programmed to say.
Meanwhile, via Tovarich Krasnaya Ploshchad, это, as we will say in the Glorious Wold of Next Tuesday.
Not unrelated, for you comic book fans who were wondering why comic books suck harder than a nuclear powered Dyson.
Remember, in many states you have no duty to retreat.
Somehow, I don’t think Myrtle (they/them) makes good choices.
We’re still awaiting Muldoon’s thoughts on the Festive Turkey tinned pie.
I was once for a spell at a place where all the cooks were Brits and as there was a significant Brit presence the meals favo(u)red them. As such, I was exposed to man-made horrors beyond comprehension.
However, regarding the Festive Turkey Bento Chrstmas (there is some cross cultural pollination for you) mess, all I have to add is that I am surprised at the lack of beans.
Guitar playing, simplified.
Quite the opposite, take that thing off and one wouldn’t have a clue where to plop one’s fingers. Is E a key, a chord, or a single note? Yes, if you actually have a clue you can play some chords with one finger by leaving out the 5th or root, or some such, but it still requires more than fretting one string.
Joe Pass for some sane guitar.
No, that is a squirrel undergoing HALO training, I fear a squirrel apocalypse may be in the near future.
If she’s old enough to put a ring in her nose she’s not too young.

I believe that troon was flushed by DC Comics.
I suspect it wasn’t alone, just vocal enough to gain notoriety.
“Blackouts are coming.” On the lunacy of Net Zero.
I was reminded of a meme, which I now can’t find, in which a woke-ling hangs drapes around themselves, on all sides, blocking out the world, then, on the inside, paints cardboard monsters with claws and jagged teeth, before cowering on the floor, as if being assailed by monsters.
Sooner or later, everyone comes around to the idea of patriarchy.
Many people will touch their index fingers to their thumb while emphatically making a point. They can’t do that because of their lengthy vanity nails, so they end up making bird hands.
Fredric Wertham tried to warn us.
You just described TikTok.
I saw it, too.
It would probably be easy to find in my browser history if Twitter posts had titles which showed up in that history.
Tyler Robinson. 22 years old, from Washington county, Utah (southwest corner).
Just a kid. Look what he did with his young life.
I wonder how he was radicalized–if specific influences deserve attention.
Can’t tell too much from the out of frame camera and the
3015 seconds of that that I could tolerate but her voice and mannerisms are very, eerily similar to those of my 67 yo sister-in-law when conversations drift into that sort of zone. I don’t believe that my SIL has condoned this murder but she has posted some things that indicate she kind of understands why it happened. Just a day or so before she was posting some especially hard anti-MAGA stuff. She definitely doesn’t buy into the trans nonsense, per my wife, but she is hard, very hard anti-Trump and thus aligns what the real housewives of Atlanta think in many regards. It was especially uncomfortable for me to listen to that, which is why I bailed on it so early.Because we keep them institutionalized way too long. How is a young man supposed to feel like a man if he is sitting in classrooms doing quasi-intellectual bullshit well into his 20’s accumulating debt that he will likely need to be paying off into his 40’s or worse? We have emasculated two or three generations of young men now. Fame offers an easy way out of that spiral. He was encouraged to do this. I’m not surprised that this happened, I’m surprised that it hasn’t happened more often.
Entirely unrelated.
His is bigger.
That was a hell of a hole to fall down. I should’ve stopped when I got to “sexual interest in amputation”… JFC
But hey. Pride, baby.
Does anyone remember, this goes back about a dozen years or more, where the college debate society (wtf it was called) granted the championship to a black college team that had basically just sputtered nonsense? I believe that was where I first heard of that Zizek (or wtf his name is) philosopher referenced.
Mentioned here, in the second update, with video and quotes.
Contains actual jabbering. For “nigga authenticity,” you understand.
Bet the kids at school didn’t like him and coach kicked him off the team for wearing pantyhose. IYKYK. And you also have an earache.
The second update led to a further back link from 2014 of yours that sounds like being from around the timeframe that I was thinking. That post contained links at the end to the actual debate that I was referring to…I think. However those links are now dead. But, yes.
That was over ten years ago. Where did people think we were heading? Why didn’t more prominent people speak up then? What were they afraid of?
Yes. We mustn’t be judgemental.
Theodore Dalrymple, in a recent (?) essay, noted the recent conflation of “judgement” and “censoriousness”. The meaning of the cliche “don’t be judgemental” has been expanded to de-legitimize all judgement–or all judgement of whatever the left approves of.
Regarding which:
A thread ensues.
Big and floofy and all I can think about is how much flippin’ grooming goes into that doggo. Keeping my GSD brushed/combed daily is bad enough but YOWZER.
Wanye Burkett has thoughts about young offenders.
“That’s basically how the conversation goes.” (via Wanye again.)
Irony.
22 years is not enough. It should have been permanent removal from society.
Are your eyes brown? Because you’re full of shit.
One more self-declared enemy of humanity for the list.
Find out where he works and get him fired. Ruin his job prospects. Make him anathema to landlords.
“It’s always them, isn’t it?”
It’s a pity she didn’t shoot herself through the brain stem.
The ones who demand to be called “Doctor” are the least qualified.
But far worse than any deranged hood rat are the Biden administration monsters who knowingly released violent criminal illegal immigrants to prey upon Americans.
I think this FEMA employee just terminated his own career. Hope so.
Yeah, but all the women will take one look and ask if you’re happy to see them.
Good news for koalas and the people who love them.
Larry Correia on cancelling those who celebrate Charlie Kirk’s murder
I forgot to include this post, which makes clear that she’s a hit-and-run driver.
One must ask how such a shit stain became president-elect of the Oxford Union.
But also, how Oxford matriculated such an affirmative-action under-achiever.
