Friday Ephemera (816)
A mighty roar. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || A licking of the lips. || For maximum plunging. || Lomanstraat, Amsterdam. || An exercise in truck alignment. || A brief guide to the origins of Islam and jihad. || Battle strategy of note. || An hour of department-store bossa nova. || Meanwhile, in Bradford. || Hers is bigger. || Though his is not unimpressive. || The unhappy art of crab packing. || A museum of plugs and sockets. || She teaches five-year-olds and wants to challenge patriarchy. || Cramping. || Carry On Doctor, 1967. || Cellophane. || But they were using his toilet. || Turkish taxi ride, liveliness ensues. || Artefacts from the era of vending nuts and gum. (h/t, Tacky Raccoons) || Today’s word is girth. || Yours for only $650,0000. || He has a watermelon holster. || And an outstretched hand.

I counted 5 or 6 police there to help that idiot for an extended period of time. Clear the impact area and tell her to either jump or get off the ledge. Tell her her parents will be charged for the cleanup.
Felicitations.
[ Ups price of drinks. ]
Heh. Well you’re older than me…now. Happy birthday!
For some reason I am reminded of my sister’s third birthday. I was nine. My father looked at me and said, “Last year you were eight and she was two. You were four times older than her. Now she’s three and you’re nine. Only three times older than her. She’s gaining on you.”
[ Starts moisturising bar snacks. ]
[ Adds new item to menu. ]
Don’t be shy. There’s plenty to go round.
Heh. Indeed.
Libraries have become money laundering tools for leftist ideologues. Conservatives really need to wake up to this reality about how their tax dollars are wasted.
Speaking of leftist librarians.
This might help…
It’s a named meat. Fancy.
[ Heavy boiling. ]
Band name.
So you can stand further back?
Heh. Yet some people prefer to really get up in there.
Leftism, ladies and gentlemen.
Betcha he contemptuously calls people who marry and have children “breeders”.
Because caring about your family, your ancestors, your lineage, your children, is “actually absurd,” apparently. And by implication, some kinds of context – where you came from, say – are to be scorned as worthless.
Again, this comes to mind.
From which:
I doubt mere obliviousness would explain this phenomenon. There’s an element of contrivance, of perversity.
The part where it says “our queer youth, about 30-50% here in the Central Valley” … like seeing a teacher like this and subjected to Queer indoctrination every school day isn’t going to get kids to claim “queer” identity just to be left alone?
Holy crap. Fresno parents need to revive the practice of running people out of town on a rail.
As someone says in reply, “Their heads only exist to hold their teeth.“
Given the mess California makes of rail, other options seem advisable.
Darwin has entered the chat.
I’m not easily shocked, but it did widen the eyes, even on second viewing.
Why would a black mayor refuse to release a description a black man who poured acid on a random woman? /rhetorical question
Watching that all the way to the end, not sure if I’m relieved or disappointed.
And because we can always use another toilet-related item.
You could at least check the expiry date on the bar snacks.
Smart.
David, why don’t you have have entertainment like this?
Possibly related.
Well, if you insist.
The police are not on your side.
Unsafe at any age.
EVERYTHING IS AWFUL!
These ads just get better and better.
Again, the LA leadership has been so bad that the ads don’t need to exaggerate.
kind of sort of – no, not a peep in the Australian media, which is woke to the power of three. And in the same week the Federal Court erased women as a species, by claiming that a vile tranny was one of them. Sad times.
Mr Convente is currently feigning victimhood – because people have read his absurd pronouncements and have either laughed or pointed out why those pronouncements are obviously wrong. Mr Convente is also calling Mr Burkett various vulgar terms and is insinuating some nefarious racial motive, despite offering zero evidence to that effect.
Because if you pause to consider the physical basis of family, and if you point out the logical idiocy of the “It’s only by chance you were born to said ancestors” school of thought, favoured by so many progressives, then this can only be explained by some seething racial animus. Apparently.
Mr Convente also declares, with some pride, “I don’t want kids.” Being, as he puts it, “too selfish.”
One more time. Our Betters.
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own. Comments that-a-way.
Then we have agreement. I also don’t want him to have children.
And I will die on the hill that MY kids are NOT HIS kids, for him and his ilk to play their political cultural games with. ( Though in practice, its too late for him. My kids are full grown )
A man-bun as a red flag.

Tragedy averted.
Mother of Mercy, is this the end of Schlitz?
Liberals are furious. Again. “Won’t anyone think of the poor thugs?”
