Friday Ephemera (744)
Dublin man. || Oh dear. || Best not to dawdle, I think. || Your bedroom buddy. || His is bigger. || Theirs is bigger, too. || Houseguest. || A game about making wigs (and buying hair, and drones, and a war against hats). Previously. || It was a day of ups and downs. || Alas, I don’t know the name for this. || Well, that escalated quickly. || Luckily, he had a sandal. || At last, a guide to vomiting. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || No, I have no idea. || Ideal teacher material. || Satellite made of wood. || How to move the Moon (while melting quite a bit of it). || “I’m pressure. I’m pressurelicious.” || Project Sundial. || The progressive retail experience, parts 591, 592, 593, and 594. || He says fortune smiled upon him. || Bigfoot. || Fun for all the family. || And finally, oh don’t pull that face, you want one and you know it.

Leonard Serrato, Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Oregon, tells all Trump supporters to kill themselves.
What a sweet guy! Because he cares so deeply.
Bonus: He once served jail time for a fatal fraternity hazing incident.
Better check him for rabies.
De-escalated.
“Leo’s passion is anti-hazing […]”
Sure it is.
You tell me…
I read that, and I think the whole thing with all of its associated links is ideal fodder for the insanity that is the Friday Ephemera.
I mean… They’re saying that the Left has no media ecosystem. WTF? Am I crazy, and just somehow managed to miss all the right-leaning media for the last forty years of my life? Have I slipped into some bizarre parallel universe, where up is down, white is black, and all the media sources are actually right-ish, but somehow manage to portray everything to the benefit of the left?
Did I take crazy pills, this morning? Am I hallucinating? Inquiring minds would like to know…
Chickenshit hurricane thinks it can wreck Havana then hide behind the Yucatan Peninsula. Like the Cubans won’t be able to see it there.

Appears to be a new talking point among the court scribes.
What I’m waiting for are the tribunals when they are forced to explain how the hell it is that all the damn media outlets are somehow coordinated and using the same wording with the same interpretations passed out at the same time, across the country.
Once you’ve seen it, when you watch news feeds from separate markets, you can’t unsee it. There has to be a huge coordination effort going on behind the scenes, somewhere. It’s like watching a flock of birds all veering the same direction all at once… Truly amazing coordination. Hell, you even hear the same emphasis put on the words like they’re all Stepford Wives or something.
I hate to say it, but the US media is in better lockstep and coordination than the Soviet Union’s was. That is not natural, not for a supposedly “free” press.
Amazing to realize that they’ve done it themselves, voluntarily, without a hint of coercion from something like the KGB or GRU. It’s an incredible achievement.
They will get away with it if the right continues to let them, as they have for decades now.
Like bright pink or blue hair, take this as a danger sign.
@WTP, who said:
Y’know… I don’t know that its so much that the “right” is “letting them get away with it” as it is that this crap is so buried in the background that nobody notices it.
I’ve got the misfortune of having a mind that is very OCD about some things, and I’ve been reading the daily papers and reading the news on the internet since I was in high school. Unless you’re an obsessive, you simply aren’t exposed to enough of this crap to really get a perspective on how uniform it all is. Most people have one or two sources of news that they use, and that’s it.
Which explains how they get away with it all. People don’t pay attention; the bias and diversion simply aren’t things that register for most.
Another point about the news media monoculture is the way that they all report on the same things, and they all equally ignore the same things. Most of the actual lies are lies of omission, where they provide incomplete information and use that to artfully conceal what is actually going on. You’ll see something like “Burisma” highlighted as being investigated for corruption, but they’ll never bother to mention how half of Congress has relatives working there on do-nothing jobs… Things like that. You have to go digging, do the research, make your own connections.
As the commenters note, YOU ALREADY HAD THEM AND YOU DROVE THEM AWAY.
Zero self-awareness.
What’s that song in the background? What kind of Cluster B erotic fantasy is that?
Also, the commenters keep winning:

Well, the French did the same to identify collaborators with the real fascists, so history repeats, I guess, as inadvertent as it may be.
“I’m pressure. I’m pressurelicious.”
Strangely, inverted, boneless, pork rectums come to mind.
Shots fired in the Anglo-American soup wars.
Who was in charge of make-up?
