A (somewhat inferior) copy of "These things happen" is here (for now):

Half-speed Frakes has apparently been on a bender. (h/t, Damian) || Strange beings detected. || I think I heard something moving in the basement. || Penguins descending. || A brief history of pandemics. (h/t, Dicentra) || Sounds from the toilet-paper apocalypse. || Yes, Picard is still bad. || A...
A dream sequence - hence Ms Foster being able to lift Thor’s hammer and give it a loving and vigorous rubbing.
Does she polish his helmet too?

It Was Raining Outside And They Were Promised Sandwiches
Sshh. Art is happening. Today it’s the art of Ms Nika López, seen below as she “establishes an intimate relationship” between herself and nature. Specifically, an indoor pile of dirt. Thereby, of course, permitting us to behold, “The connection with the earth, the immersion of bodies in matter, ...
I particularly liked the comment by Vance Fry under the Hot Air article, quoting transgender actress Trace Lysette, angry about the Johansson role:
Trace Lysette: "...you play us and steal our narrative and our opportunity but you pat yourselves on the back with trophies and accolades for mimicking what we have lived"
Vance Fry: "How is that not a description of what transwomen do to real women?"

Acting is about pretending. It’s also a business in which investors want to know ahead of time that they have a bankable star in the leading role. There may be other actors or actresses who would suit this part better, but I doubt many of them have had major roles in the Avengers films. Like it ...
Why is the BBC paying her to interview people?
They aren't - it's Channel 4. Still, two cheeks of the same arse.

At All Costs, Paraphrase
Or, A Demonstration Of Patience. “You’re saying we should organise our societies along the lines of the lobsters…” In this largely unedited video, Channel 4’s Cathy Newman interviews Jordan Peterson. I use the word interview quite loosely. In fact, I propose a drinking game, in which you take a...
Women are like hurricanes. When they come, they're wet and wild. When they go, they take the house.

Offering Relief
It’s a good-news-bad-news story: Several Hurricane Irma victims called a 1-800 number for help and were offered phone sex instead of hurricane relief assistance. It’s very kind, I’m sure, but perhaps now isn’t the time. The Miami Herald reported that the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Re...

David Rutz on the “woke eight-year-old” manoeuvre: The phenomenon came to my attention via @Neontaster, who discovered this trend of eight-year-olds (or children of a similar age, depending on their Woke Quotients) whose opinions, shockingly, seem to perfectly mirror those of their progressive ...

Because Waitrose Eats Your Soul
And so, again, we visit the pages of the Guardian, where Felicity Lawrence looks forward to the downfall of big supermarkets. You know, those dark, forbidding entities that have “marched across our food and shopping landscape,” casting shadows so vast and terrifying that “it seemed there was no ...
