Friday Ephemera (819)
The robots are coming. || The fight against gravity did not go well. || When good girls go bad! || Discourse was attempted. || Inadequate product detected. || England’s most villagey town. || I’m guessing she ain’t happy. || The progressive retail experience, parts 730, 731 and 732. || Peeping spotted. || Peekaboo. || On suboptimal slipperiness. || Question asked, silence ensues. || I have questions. || An excellent use of a skateboard. || A descending voice. || The Digestive System, 1980. || For sale. || Choices were made. || A touch of Mozart. || It’s a tight one. || “She tried to remove my nuts with her teeth,” he said. || For bespectacled headbangers. || You want one and you know it. || I can see this working as a lair. || And finally, some Finnish performance art involving vast quantities of lube.

Which is the tranny?
“We weren’t brawling, officer, we were engaged in sacred rituals.”
Slightly exaggerated: there are some good journalists.
They should have done a group beatdown until he was unconscious, tied a rope around his neck, and hung him from the lamppost out front.
Odds are that he should have already been executed for prior crimes.

They have all the steeples!
And the stained-glass windows!
And all the Gaudian details!
And it’s only…
cripes, 800 clams.
Sheesh.
Perhaps I can interest you in a low-cost alternative.
Let’s just check in on the Green Party.
Okay then.
Ms Wakefield, seen above struggling with causality, also believes that farming is riddled with “white supremacy” and is in need of “decolonisation.” British food production, says she, “entrenches racial oppression.”
Still, she can do a pretty good ‘eww’ face.
Where in the everlasting hell do these vapid women come from and why are they EVERYWHERE in leadership positions?
I’ve had it with them.
The level of debate – the routine avoidance of reality – on a supposedly flagship political debate programme – is quite unnerving.
It’s the facial theatre – the ‘eww’ face – the seeming incredulity that an obvious variable should be considered as an obvious variable. A thing one might need to address in order to solve the problem being discussed. As if considering such things – even suggesting that one might consider them – were beyond the pale, somehow scandalous or beneath rebuttal.
I’ve seen this same facial theatre many times, not least among left-leaning women who’ve been appointed to positions for which they are clearly ill-suited.
An observation that would itself most likely result in the ‘eww’ face.
A while ago, at an impromptu social gathering, someone did the Blurting thing – shoehorning some incongruous political aspect into an otherwise low-key, amiable chat. At first I said nothing, not wanting to further change the nature of the gathering. But the blurting went on and made my tact difficult to sustain. So I replied, politely. (The particulars aren’t of importance, but it concerned the prospect of a then-imminent Labour government, supposedly a basis for optimism.)
My suggestions as to how it would likely play out – and, to a large extent, subsequently has – were met with the same facial theatre. I should stress that my reply was carefully phrased so as not to inflict too much agitation. But even this gentle pushback was deemed an excuse to look surprised and disbelieving.
It seems very much related to niceness, or some desire for the appearance of niceness. As if niceness, so conceived, should be the sole measure of rightness. And so, any suggestion that one might have to consider a course of action at odds with that niceness is met with theatrical disbelief, as if one had belched very loudly during a wedding ceremony.
It’s the longhouse face.
Why Johnny can’t read AND is an insufferable brat.
The idea of “ethnic studies” isn’t to have a “world music” type slot on the timetable for the culture of everyone except whites. It’s not to be a subject teacher among others, but to be a commissariat that can set curriculum, methods, testing of every subject with the explicit goal of abolishing white norms, degrading white authority, displacing whites.
We don’t need to ask what principle will be applied if white kids challenge adult supremacy by talking back to the ethnic studies commissars.
It’s not a children’s rebellion. They’re not against adult authority on principle, in fact they want more of that for themselves. It’s adult presenters citing adult academics with an ambition of their people having not merely the conventional authority of “educators” over the school experience and life prospects of children, but an authority that’s more consequential and more unquestionable than has been allowed before. An authority over all children but with concentrated spiteful application over white children, the objections of the parents discredited in advance with this pathology they’ve made up.
“Adultism” sounds like it could never have any power to intimidate people into acting against their own children’s interest, but if if the made up word “racism” has made white people ashamed of the normal identification and ingroup preference that every other race has for their own people, there’s no reason why “adultism” won’t take if it’s propagandized with the same determination. The ground has been prepared with liberal child rearing norms since the mid 20th century. It’s not like like made up words that intimidate parents from stopping their kids running into traffic, putting their hands in fire, having their genitals cut off: those would be so ludicrous and obscene that they couldn’t possibly be socially engineered.
Heh. Quite. From which:
I suspect that one may have to be wheeled out again, periodically.
Meanwhile, let’s see what important doings are going on in the chambers of the city council to solve the plethora of problems in NYC.
At some point, you’d think they’d get tired of indulging needy, cross-dressing men. “SEE how womanly I am! SEE me! LOOK at me! LOOK at how weirdly and inaptly sexualised I make everything!”
? I’ve never encountered that expression before.
From Google search AI:
A good expression, although probably as yet too obscure for casual use.
I recall hearing shit like that back in the sixties. Children are by nature ignorant and have nothing to “teach” adults. Children should sit down, shut up, and listen.
Exactly. It’s another ploy by the left, using children as tools, to exercise power over normal people.
Can anybody here think of valid reasons to tolerate leftists?
Because these are weak-minded people artificially empowered by propaganda and bad actor puppeteers.
Rapist gets stabbed in the eye.
Longhouse ‘morality’.

Dull skies and drizzle build character.
David must have character oozing from every pore.
Again, the conceit that doing what is necessary, and right, will somehow never entail saying no. As if the correct and imperative decision could never entail doing things that might seem unfashionable or insufficiently accommodating of the latest Designated Victim Group, if only among one’s equally pretentious peers.
As if saying, “No, the entire third world may not come here and live entirely at the expense of the indigenous until the system collapses” were just some gratuitous meanness. For instance.
Busy with other stuff this weekend so maybe some may have mentioned something about or around this but I found this pretty absurd. I was looking for video of what Vance said about Nowak that apparently has UK drones upset, not realizing that it wasn’t a public statement but a post on X. So I ask Grok…a function of X. Grok informs me about the numerous articles about it with all the BS brainwashing context. Yadda-yadda-yadda. I had to ask it, specifically, explicitly for a link to the post on the very platform(well, sorta) that Grok itself runs on. Like this artificial “intelligence” couldn’t figure out that that would be the most important thing to feed back. Because everything must be contextualized for proper consumption. Even on the very platform that Elon owns. This is how deep the brainwashing runs. Well, deeper than that of course.
In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this. — Terry Pratchett
Is there any woman who doesn’t want to be worshipped, at least a bit?
It’s a highly illustrative moment. A man injects an observation involving measurable quantities. The woman reacts with an “I can’t believe you said that” face.
The male style of discourse would have been to debate the quantities, to dispute the chain of causality.
The female style looks at what’s IN and what’s OUT and expresses disgust for anything that’s OUT.
The criteria for IN and OUT in politics being as stable and logical as the criteria for IN and OUT in the world of fashion.
She was evaluating the STATUS conferred by expressing a particular opinion. His comment was LOW STATUS, so it had to be disdained.
It’s just mean girls dynamics writ large, and yes, it’s quintessentially Cluster B, and I don’t understand why so many women are like this.
What motivates ANYONE to value status over TRVTH? It seems so maladaptive, so fruitless, so shallow.
VENI CITO IESU CITO VENI
Longhouse face again
Absolutely.
She might, for instance, have said, “But at this rate, the number of employers, investors and productive, law-abiding natives fleeing the country because of its demented policies, which I wholeheartedly endorse, may at some point outstrip the rapists, parasites and unemployable morons flooding in daily.”
I paraphrase, of course.
Don’t know about character but at the moment there’s quite a lot of mucous.
Here, hold this tissue a minute.
Just what Uncle Walt envisioned . . .
If they say they’re not coming for your kids . . . don’t believe them.
I was going to mention mucus, but nobly refrained.
It was a struggle.

In the latest episode of The Simpsons, Apu gets arrested for kidnapping.
It’s past time to return to old policies of locking up the insane:
Because that’s how female intrasexual competition works.
They must keep him as near absolute zero as possible.
Hold on, my hazmat suit’s in the car.
Why the hell has David not covered the Henry Nowak story at all? This is probably the most significant story to come out of the UK since the rape gangs, and he hasn’t said a word about it. I’m so disappointed in this place.
Maybe because he posts most often about sexual dysfunctionalities.
Or maybe it’s the mucus.
I’m disappointed in the lack of hosannas praising French wine and Amurican food.
The corruption continues apace.
Likely a sufficiently munificent donation to the tip jar would allow you influence over the subject matter put up for discussion.
