Friday Ephemera (822)

The diamond knuckle dusters you’ve always wanted. || Always carry a spare. || Behind those high-tech specs. || Sales pattern detected. || Street panto. || Not a good place to lose forward momentum. || Incoming. || Incoming 2. || Decorum at customs. || A brief guide to vocal fry. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || Barbecue scenes. || The thrill of early bathyspheres. || Learning is happening. || World’s loudest man. He’s Australian. || In stationary news. || Question asked. || A newcomer and a window licker. || Wall crawling. || Peeing down her leg in her friend’s shower makes her feel like a man. || “How is a moment in time stored in squishy meat?” || Thirty tonnes of antimatter dust per day. || Meet the man who collects food wrappers, 1981. || Influencer, you say. || And remember, photography is hard.
