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 stationery 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.

The reason for this was anticipated long ago by “A Clockwork Orange”. It’s to make room for political prisoners.
Someone’s taking the piss:
“A Spanish travel influencer recently shared his experience at one of the most unique “hotels” that can be found in the Pacific Ocean between Florida and Cuba.”
One more time: “not guilty by reason of insanity” should mean “lock him up forever”. FIFY.
In reality it means if institutionalized at all (a big if) until the alleged perp convinces enough people that she is “normal” and/or complying with therapy (pharmacological or otherwise).
In other news of the deranged, just another normal kindergarten day.
