Friday Ephemera (812)
The cabinets, in fairness, were fully transformed. || Engine trouble. || Timesaver. || Moves in sync with your, er, pedalling motion. || More than is strictly necessary. || The machine uprising, day 13. || Drivers, look away now. || Not reading the room. || Merry England. || Mouth and trousers. || How all women walk down corridors. || And then he deployed the wiper fluid. || Where to be at a concert. (h/t, Things) || Super Snack Busy. || Ballpoint. || Parklife. || Triplets, Sellotape, and scientific parenting. || I’m impressed by the size. || Prosthesis. || Pleasing the customer. || For when you want to play Pong, but really, really slowly. || Men Who Churn Out Romantic Novels, 1970. || Newcomerliness. || The super-deadly soap stairs. || A game about flinging. || First day. || And finally, some nimble fingering.

They’re too feral to teach dance steps to.
The dishonesty underlying the calls for ‘an honest conversation about race’ is wearying.
But does he have a week’s holiday every year?
Christopher Rufo on some more dolts and liars in academia.
Imagine being the kind of preening tool who pays money for that. As if that were where it’s at, cat.
Afterwards they were returned to their Skinner Box.
Is it wrong to be annoyed Europeans hadn’t carried more virulent strains of disease?
Not to mention endless wars, many of them genocidal, with rape and torture and slavery because those things are authentically indigenous too.
Also the routine killing of people who deviate from the ancient indigenous religions,superstitions, customs, rituals, etc.
Psychololgical analysis of wokeness:
If it is structural, and cannot be killed, that is a strong argument for excluding most women from positions of power and authority.
[ Quietly fetches bubble wrap for breakables. ]
Heh. ‘If’.
More cultural enrichment — this time in Italy.
Brave woman to let those fingernails so close to her eyes.
I still don’t understand what’s happening on her forehead. Those swirly hair things. Are they supposed to be… alluring? Coquettish?
Ladies, help me out.
A picture is worth a thousand snickers.
We’ve been assured, by top men, this doesn’t happen.
Top men.
One more time:
And, of course, this:
Not everyone is compatible. Not everyone belongs. It’s okay to notice this.
Turns out, it’s important.
No need for taking action. These things have ways of working out by themselves.
Sorry…It is in Oxford, you understand.
Entitled thief: “I didn’t agree to going to jail. It’s not fair!”
Finnish study of GBI outcome refutes claim that poverty causes crime.
Related: the children of middle class blacks have crime rates nearly as high as children of poor blacks. (Does anybody have links to this?)

That islamophobic myth has happened again.
Doesn’t matter. Victor Hugo wrote a book and EVERY high school student was taught to admire how wonderful that book was, was forced to write things about it, and of course they had to be approving things because why risk a bad grade? It could go on your permanent record. Not that anyone believed it but why risk a few gpa’s on your college application, AIR? That matters and will continue to matter more than your stupid “study”.
See also asylums and Jack Nicholson movies.
As long as he doesn’t eat them after, according to Ayatollah Khomeini’s “Blue Book”, no sin is committed.
Nor may he serve them to his family or his neighbors. But it is permitted to sell them to strangers. So said Muhammad, the perfect man of perfect morality.

This seems wrong.
Physiognomy is a real thing, isn’t it?
What kind of conversation have we been having since 1964? Which truths aren’t being told, or which feelings aren’t being expressed? What would this “honest” conversation sound like?
I get the feeling that they’re not looking for convos, they’re looking for us to abandon our homes and jobs and positions and turn it all over to them as a token of atonement.
You know, the Farmers of Zimbabwe ploy.
Every bit of her emoting and protesting and claiming to be unduly hurt by the handcuffing is fake. All of it. It’s 100% a Cluster B manipulation tactic wherein she pretends that she’s just an ordinary person being imposed on by a heartless, confusing system.
She’s just a wounded little bird, you see.
Opening salvo:
Modest proposal:
Turns out Japanese men and women have this EXACT problem:
Social constructionists need to go eat a bag of sticks.
You heard me.
A couple decades ago, my wife and I adopted this scheme. I know all y’all will be STUNNED to hear that it works.
Slightly variation though. She asks nicely if I’m up to hearing a rant
The government you deserve.
Who knew eyes could roll that far back.
From the replies, “Why would he reach out to her? Thanks for cheating at my concert?”
Oh, bless your heart, you think the elections reflect the will of the people and not the Chicago machine.
I mean, we keep blaming voters for electing bad people, but what if they don’t actually vote for those people? What if the system is so crooked the voters actually have no say?
Why Muslims are more adherent in the West than in their own countries:
What fresh hell is this?
I first thought that was a Komondor.
Or a Puli.
Because every day I see a report of yet another queer/trans assault or murder or plot to do same.
Ladies, help me out.
I got nuttin’. But let me offer you a dog for respite. His name is Rocky.
To a significant degree, through many steps, the machine prevents good and honest people from getting on the ballot.
Well, there are plenty of blacks on the South Side and West Side who genuinely like racist scumbag thieves like Mayor Brandon Johnson.
He’s a very fluffy rock. 😀
Wrong-think alarm!
E.g., all those “he dindu nuffin!” BLM protests which were refuted by the release of police bodycams showing that the Young Scholar was shot in the act.
