Friday Ephemera (835)
Vertical filing solution, 1937. || You want one and you know it. || Hosing is hard. || Hello, children. || Shakespeare’s horror story. || Hitachi K-88 portable television, 1978. || Place in food chain negotiation. || A minimum of 30 seconds. Because keeping one eye on your watch is just what you want. || Bach in the rain. || In a bun. || Vibrancy and enrichment. || Value added. || The thrill of having kidneys. || Question asked. || Coquettish stance adopted. || A stroll around Castleton, not too far from here. || It’s all in the hips. Though I’m not sure about the colour. || On choosing a TV set, 1964. || His is bigger. || Keyboard configuration. || For those so inclined, only $13,000. || It says “Portland sports bra riot.” || This tale of a puppy’s encounters with human beings starts in a dark place, but it does get better.
And as this is fundraising week, which keeps this place here, do feel free to make use of the tip jar.





Sufficient altitude takes care of both.

I don’t doubt that Washington’s performance is excellent, but it’s time to draw the line. White races are specifically excluded from any black-originated content, and the reverse must therefore apply. Let them write their own masterpieces (no-one’s holding their breath on that one). Shall we biopic the life of Rosa Parks starring Sydney Sweeney? We can’t be far away from the story of Elizabeth I, starring Lizzo. Historically, Macbeth is a reference to Scottish history and there were no black folks in Scotland, nor any evidence for them, in the year 1057. Wokery is societal cancer. It must be expunged by all and any means.
When the law protects criminals while punishing citizens.
Is there a government in the world not at odds with the public it purports to serve?
