Speaking of spite as progressive pseudo-piety:

Odd message to send, really.

For people who imagine themselves the good guys in their own mental drama.

Lifted from the comments, which you’re reading, of course.

Consider this an open thread.

Update, via the comments:

Rafi adds,

Yet apparently it needs saying.

And setting aside for a moment the weird random malice, there’s the more mundane oversight. A Tesla has eight external cameras which record any untoward activity while alerting the owner. The odds of being identified, in high definition, and consequently prosecuted, are fairly high. Yet the people doing the keying and daubing tell us, loudly and quite often, that they’re the smart ones. Our moral and intellectual betters.

It’s not just the conceit that vandalising some random person’s car is a thing one should do as a good person, as an act of righteousness. Bewildering as that is. It’s the idea of doing that to a make of car that’s famed for its ability to record anything that approaches. Which suggests a level of emotional dysregulation, of total impulse control failure, that’s quite hard to relate to.

Via Aitch, another one. With man-bun bonus.

More deep thinkers of a progressive persuasion.

I fear we’ll be at this at all day.

Oh wait.

We may have a winner:

As so often, one feels obliged to say, “You know this isn’t how well-adjusted adults generally behave, right?”

Patrons are reminded that this shimmering oasis is made possible by the kindness of strangers. If you’d like to ensure it exists a while longer, and remains ad-free, there are three buttons below the fold with which to monetise any love. Debit and credit cards are accepted. If what happens here is of value, think of this as a chance to show it.

If one-click haste is called for, there’s a QR code in the sidebar, at which you point your phone, and my PayPal.Me page can be found here. As requested, I’ve added SubscribeStar and Ko-Fi accounts, via which love may also be monetised, whether as one-off donations or monthly subscriptions. Should you be gripped by an urge to express encouragement via currency, by all means succumb.

Additionally, any Amazon UK shopping done via this link, or via the button in the sidebar, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you.

For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last eighteen years, in over 3,000 posts and 200,000 comments, the reheated series is a pretty good place to start – in particular, the end-of-year summaries, which convey the fullest flavour of what it is we do. A sort of blog concentrate. If you like what you find there… well, there’s lots more of that.

Do take a moment to poke through the discussion threads too. The posts are intended as starting points, not full stops, and the comments are where much of the good stuff is waiting to be found. And do please join in.

As always, thanks for the support, the comments, and the company.

Oh, and consider this an open thread.

I bring scenes of composure, grace, and emotional maturity:

And who here hasn’t spent their evenings crafting voodoo effigies of people with whom they disagree politically?

Not entirely unrelated.

Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

And hey, what’s life without some fascinating complications:

Consider this an open thread.

By all means, share your hair-related agonies.

Update:

A reminder that, in the comments, other wonders are waiting to be found.

And this place is still here. 

Do help yourself to cake. For newcomers, here’s a pretty good introduction to what goes on here. If you like… that, well, there’s plenty more.

Oh, and open thread.
