  1. The Reader urges all the memers out there to create one for Instapundit’s latest Substack – Civilizational Jenga.

  2. This woke me up last night. I can’t find any way to compress it down to a meme, though:

    “You do not understand the difference between ‘power’ and ‘authority’. You believe you have the power to force people to do the impossible simply because you have the authority to issue decrees, and then punish them for failure to comply. If the people still do not meet demands which are physically and logically impossible, why, that just means you need to impose harsher punishments.”

  3. Wait! WATFM I’ve been here the whole bloody time, and now you want to disinfect me?! If there’s anyone here who needs disinfectant it’s yez, so DISINFECT YOURSELF.

    Jayszus. As if there wasn’t enough alcohol in me already to disinfect everything around me.

  5. I thought the guy’s right hand was supposed to be on the small of her back, not fondling her bustle.

    I’ve been doing it wrong.

      1. On closer examination it appears she lost her legs off fighting in the wars, and pending arrival of her powered prosthetics she’s using some sort of antigravity bustle module to attend the ball, so he has to assist keeping that antigravbustle structure oriented correctly during the waltz.

        So, special case.

        1. I figured he didn’t want to trip on all that skirtage, so he grabbed a handful and lifted it out of the way. [If you have ever dealt with a surfeit of fabric in a confined space, you know all about excess skirtage and the various methods of control.]

          2. Oh my, yes.
            Walked a Christmas parade in pouring rain wearing French Restoration (i.e. “Three Musketeers garb”) with a bodice, petticoat, bum roll, underskirt and overskirt. Not too much trouble maneuvering, but when we were done I was soaked above the waist and dry below.

          1. “Who is Beverley dancing with – is that Tim?”
            “Yeah, he just got back in town.”
            “Oh my gosh, he sure filled out.”
            “He can grab my bustle any time he wants.”
            “Irma, you let anyone grab your bustle.”
            “Not anyone, but Tim can, that’s for sure.”
            “Shh, here comes Frank. I wonder who he worked up the courage to ask.”

    2. Don’t get overly excited FM, if that’s like most late 19th early/ early 20th century outfits there are at least three petticoats, a bustle pad, and possibly a frame between you and the object of interest. Your hand is at least 1/2 foot from your dance partner :-) . On her back there’d be a mere 3 layers of cloth although one might include boning.

  8. This popped up in my YouTube Music feed just now, and I figured y’all would enjoy it. Struck a particular chord with me given the state of things these days.

    1. “When there’s nothing left, but the fire in my chest
      And the air that fills my lungs
      I’ll hold my tears, and trade my years for a glimpse at Kingdom Come
      On the other side of misery, there’s a world we long to see
      The strife we share will take us there, to relief and sovereignty

      CHORUS:
      Oh by God we’ll have our home again, by God we’ll have our home
      By blood or sweat, we’ll get there yet, by God we’ll have our home

      In our own towns, we’re foreigners now, our names are spat and cursed
      The headlines smack of another attack, not the last and not the worst
      Oh my fathers they look down on me, I wonder what they feel
      To see their noble sons driven down, beneath a coward’s heel

      [CHORUS]

      The road is dark, the way is lost, my eyes they strain to see
      I struggle forth to find a friend to light the way for me
      Oh brothers can you hear my voice? Or am I all alone?
      If there’s no fire to guide my way, then I will start my own”

        1. I think I had two links. One part of the quoting the lyrics to the song. Should have deleted that one. Sigh.

  15. All great, my only complaint is not enough Communists/Democrats/Rhinos, ( but I repeat myself ), falling out of helicopters. Or into wood chippers, or off the planet, or just burning in a hell of their own making.
