Friday Ephemera (795)
It did not go entirely to plan. || Totally normal. || Itsy-bitsy. || Mrs Critchfield has a backyard business, 1953. || On the Batman effect. || Today’s words are body language. || Boasting of overcharging people based on their race. || Boob correction and other minor fixes. || Or maybe you could use a good moisturiser. || The more, the merrier. || The woman who moved her house 100 miles, 1975. || If size impresses you. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || Chunky snow. || Incoming. || She has a racist chair. || On stealing $20, at knifepoint. || On deportations and legal creep. || A lively discussion regarding pizza – and $1. || The unspanked at large. || Puzzled look. || Coping. || Safety first. || Four Guineas a week and free hot water. || And finally, it’s waterproof, super-handy, and the edges are adhesive.

WE DO NOT SPEAK OF SUCH THINGS
Bonus points if you can pronounce Tooele. It’s one of our shibboleths.
Over many centuries, the people of these dark, forbidding islands have evolved senses to compensate for the perpetual gloom and light drizzle.

Oh, I’m sure it works out well for the therapists tho. When you think about it and get your mind right, it’s actually pro-therapist. Kinda like being pro-teacher. Hope this helps!
His shift leftward calls into question everything he once said: Did he ever sincerely believe those things? Or did he adopt a persona which he believed offered more opportunity for self-enrichment than being just one more small fish in a giant pond of leftist punditry?
Thou shalt not speak ill of those who assault you.
Can I avoid arrest by calling the British police “bundles of sticks” or “flaming Soviet fighter aircraft“?
Bill Kristol is living proof that anal sex produces children.
From the article:
Hello? That is the defense’s job. After the sharing of all discovery (including anything exculpatory) the prosecution puts on its case and the defense does its job. WTAF? Juries are the “triers of fact,” not the judge and I hope the appeal works.
Or you could just, you know, move.
Riposte.
Not unfair.
I’m guessing “Tooele” is pronounced “two-eel”, as in “two eels in the fountain, which one will the fountain bless”. But of course it could be “Tweely”. Or, “Toe-oh-allay”. Or maybe “Fanshaw”, I mean, these things get pretty quirky.
Geeze, just kill her and put us out of her misery.
I thought he just came out of someone’s asshole.
But you should just let demented people dominate you.
While she screams “Don’t kill me! I’m a fucking virgin!”
I’ll just leave this here.
Because you know how I hate quoting myself.
Likewise the creatures who make excuses for such behavior.
Obligatory observation.
[ Swivels eyes independently. ]
If he identified as Napoleon, would they refer to him as “his imperial majesty”?
That’s quite the mugshot.
You’re very good at blending in, aren’t you?
Your horoscope.
Some are born detestable, some achieve detestableness, and some have detestableness thrust upon them.
Only 9-1/2 years for attempted murder.
And in this case 65 years ought to be upgraded to hanging.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you, is this the face of a killer?
Good. Let’s see more of this.
He’s working on the eye swivel.
Good. Let’s see more of this.

Who’s the us in “you’re making us look bad”? Are blacks policing anti-white violence among other blacks, calling out misogynistic violence? Like in the Gilette ad, except that they’re calling out blacks? Newsworthy if so.
“We were the useful idiots”
Anybody want to comment on this while I’m refueling the helicopters?
An effective remedy.
Even more effective.
Bonk!
The pizza order we just got
Another Universal Basic Income trial has failed, unsurprisingly.
Clean mirror may be greatest piece of conceptual art in last 10 years.
Practicing for the next Just Stop Oil demonstration?
A man can dream.
Taking bets on number of prior arrests and convictions.
Neighborhood alert: Alright, that’s enough internet for today.

Undead institutions.
Regarding the above, this, this, this, and this.
And yes, today’s words are skin suit.
He was visited by local police, who warned him about the post and told him to be “careful” about what he says online and “how it makes people feel.”
And this is why I won’t be entering the UK any time soon. Do they check up on Americans coming to visit? You know, all the conspiracy theorists worrying about the black helicopters, nah . . . I worry more about a petty bureaucrat or martinet of a police officer who wants to make an example of someone, all to assuage long-held resentment at getting their face pushed into the sandbox or never asked to the prom.

As someone who has visited actual Communist countries and have seen how the common folk are forced to live . . . can I give the first shove?
Be my guest!
But, as someone who has known far too many Communists, I get the second shove.
