Friday Ephemera (797)
When Karens collide. || Carelessness. || He’s a butterfly. || I’m sure the blue hair is entirely unrelated. || A breakthrough in butter spreading. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || A philosopher speaks. || Hair salon scenes. || Ladies, she will take him. || “It’s so amazing to buy tampons,” says he. || She can’t get her doctor to put on a mask. || Meat. || Mortified. || Coin operated mortuary automaton. || The contraptions of Dr Kellogg. || I have questions. || He works in a gas station. || Incoming. || Incoming 2. || The little, little kids. || It’s scholarly and profound, but you mustn’t look at it. || Also scholarly – and taxpayer funded. || 69p. || Parking is hard. || He teleported. || A preference for tidiness. || To put you in a festive mood. || The years just fell away. || Less effort than walking. || And when an outside loo just won’t do, 1967.

As a former kinda quasi-math-geek, if whoever made that t-shirt were to get punched in the face…well…this blame the victim thing is getting more and more philosophical…

Attended a Christmas concert at the local liberal arts college in rural Appalachia last week, Two women there were wearing masks. I still occasionally see people wearing them at grocery stores. And they were quite prominent back in October when we went to the nearby casino. Why would people afraid of such a terrible, horrible virus…so called…go to places completely unnecessary like concerts and casinos, indoor venues, to be around hundreds of people, the overwhelming majority of which are not wearing masks? Well..of course…
Agree.

My hairdresser doesn’t have pole dancing.
Mine just has free coffee. And those fancy little biscuits.
Oh, and mulled wine at Christmas.
I laughed and I’m not sorry. They brought this on themselves. And I bet the dumbass barista was careless to leave the bag in plain sight.
It’s all good though – the police bureau empathises with the individuals involved, criminals and victims alike.
Socialism: we saw during Covid how the same types who want socialism were giddy telling all of us plebes to wear masks and just fine with arresting people for holding church outdoors or surfing (etc). They never imagine that they would be the ones to be arrested under socialism, but in fact Mao locked up all the professors and their families in “camps”–my colleague grew up in one.
I heard a lefty praising E. Germany, that even though people were very poor, they were all EQUALLY poor (which wasn’t even true of course).
When they tell you who they are . . .
When you’ve lost Keith Olbermann . . .
All he needs is some .38 caliber brain therapy.
I have never understood why anyone would pay any attention to what a big guy like him has to say considering he doesn’t appear to have actually done anything. Even in high school. Per Grok:
It’s
4547 years since the best ever account of attempted robbery.I laughed and I’m not sorry. They brought this on themselves.
Apart from the non-Portlandia concern with mere property crime, and white women’s tears taking priority over the justice-involved minoritized, I’m amazed that a news report can be 2m37s long, can even include a teasing glimpse of security camera footage, but somehow doesn’t get around to asking old-timey journalist questions like “so you know who did it?”, and “do you have a photo of the thief?”, and “would you mind awfully if we showed the photo?”
Don’t know who needs to hear this but…if it saves just one life…Do not tell people, especially certain kinds of women and possibly also their soyish men, that suicides do not increase at Christmas time, that they may even tend to decrease. That is all. Merry Christmas.

Dem birdies are insectivores, so what’s he doing with the powdered grain and fat?
This is how we know the AGPs are indulging a fetish.
Stuff them in bullet wounds, yes.
God help me, I’ve discovered this channel, and I can’t stop watching.
Got to say, I didn’t see that coming.
Heh.
When you’ve lost Keith Olbermann . . .
That implies someone is with Keith Olbermann for him to lose. He lives ina remarkable universe of . . . just one.
From that Heh:
It’s the speed at which the left will eat its own relative to the speed at which “conservatives” desperate for social validation accept the various idiocies of the left that will determine the moment that western civilization collapses. It’s a related rates problem. Basic calculus.
Bookmark.
I collaborated with a local doggie day care to do Christmas pictures. Each year it seems more open, so for 2026 I am going to prepare a marketing campaign to be sent to each, suggesting ways I can scritch their back if they scritch mine, and together we provide added value to their clients.
BTW, his name is Maverick and he’s a good boy.
Primarily insectivores. But also seeds and berries. So nice, buttery and carb-y croissants too, it seems.

ESR reluctantly agrees.
Here’s a dark thought–dark but fair: Whites in South Africa secretly begin planning a mass exodus to Europe and the Americas. Once they are all gone, they detonate by remote control bombs buried beneath their farms to release substances which contaminate the soil rendering it useless for agriculture and deadly to be near.
The high IQ fallacy.
Why bother with all that effort? The idiots taking over will do the equivalent themselves. This has been rather clearly demonstrated in recent history in Rhodesia. Getting out as quickly and as quietly as possible would be enough of a challenge. Of course the whites won’t learn anything.
I worked with a young guy whose family got out of there because they saw what was coming. He was pretty much conservative but he of course had to adjust his attitudes to fit in here. We discussed this over lunch once and he alluded to other white escapee South Africans who became strong democrats.
Dessert?
Not quite.
The bombs are superfluous, the exodus sufficient.
Oh, I agree completely. But the more immediately dramatic consequences of my fantasy are fun to imagine.
Many of them are not so much suicidal as callously, cruelly ambitious: They don’t care about what happens after they are gone as long as they can enjoy riches and power today.
. . . but wait, there’s more.
When questions of rudeness shouldn’t even be on the table.
‘[…] hundreds of healthy children will be harmed for the rest of their lives.”
It’s no distance at all from Rotherham to the Streeting Trial.
Scipio Africanus, the world has need of thee.
Today’s word is status.
Language warning.
I’m still not sure if Joy Reid is so stupid as to believe that rot or is so evil as to know she is spreading lies. Either way, #fatigue.
The idiots taking over will do the equivalent themselves.

Thanks for that. It may come in handy if there’s a reply to something I said earlier today regarding St. Louis, amongst other similar shitholes that were once proud cities. Also for the next time I see someone whining about the supposed housing shortage.
LOL self-sabotage. Future employment opportunities will decline.
Language.
I miss the innocent naive days of my youth when I would not have understood that.
