[ Shakes Glitter Out Of G-String ]
Time, I think, for an open thread. And while I’m being good to you, I’ll throw in one of these, as a bonus.
Because, yes, it’s time to remind patrons that this rickety barge, on whose seating your arses rest, is kept afloat by the kindness of strangers.

For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last fourteen years, in over 3,000 posts and over 100,000 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.
If you can, 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.

You’re so good to us. *hits tip jar*
You’re so good to us.
I know, I really am.

Bless you, sir. May your steam iron cord never kink and tangle.
“A New Zealand chapter of Greta Thunberg-linked climate movement disbands itself for being ‘racist'”
“In a Facebook post, School Strike 4 Climate’s Auckland chapter said it was shutting down because it ‘has been a racist, white-dominated space.’… ‘I really commend the School Strikers in Auckland for making this decision,’ said Kera Sherwood-O’Regan of Sustained Ability, a group of disabled climate activists”

Heh. The quest for purity. Why, it’s as if they can’t help it, so strong is the compulsion to denounce and disapprove.

Bless you, sir. May your bin men be jolly and obliging.
A tale of woe.
Thanks for all you do, David. I loved you at first site (this site?!), and my browser has ever since been daily refreshed by your wisdom.

And bless you, sir. May the neighbours be awed by your ability to flatten large cardboard boxes.

Answers on a postcard, please.

Heh. Bless you, madam. May you know the simple pleasure of new bedding.
I never comment, but I adore you and couldn’t resist the tip jar this time!

Bless you, madam. Should you be visiting relatives and find yourself obliged to spend a night on an inflatable bed, may you not wake to find said item has deflated somewhat during the night, resulting in your head and feet being slightly elevated and your arse resting on the floor.

Thanks, that brightened my morning.

Mischief detected.

That particular prank recurs often enough around the world. 🙂
“They don’t move around or fall down your pant leg.”
“They don’t move around or fall down your pant leg.”
Once again, a very punchable face.
“There was a growing perception that SS4C was just an extracurricular activity for upper-class [White] kids,”
Dontcha just hate it when they say the quiet part out loud?
A tale of woe.
And of course the experience causes the young writer to reflect on the dysfunction and toxicity of the industry he’s trying to break into, and not on the community he’s been part of.
“Why is every hiring manager and every company ignoring me when I signal my membership in this prominent local movement? It must be because everybody in the world is wrong except me!”
“They don’t move around or fall down your pant leg.”
And on cue I see they have children’s versions ready to ship. Need something wholesome now.
Methinks the Tale of Woe protests too much. It’s supposedly journalism jobs applied to but I’m guessing, if this thing that doesn’t present its pronouns in its rant is even remotely trying to be honest, sent those resumes with pronouns for jobs for which it was not qualified. Let’s face it, they’re all lying scum. Taking anything they say seriously is folly.
Ditto “They don’t move around or fall down your pant leg.” in other regards. Meh…but who knows.
Surprised no one has made mention of the North Korean defector who said even NK was not as nuts as her experiences at Columbia U. Granted my link to that on other page was a bit off topic (it did mention pretending Whoa Fat was not fat…the article, not me) and I laid the sarcasm on a bit too thick (on top of the sarcasm). Yes, I’m not well. Nor has anyone made mention of John Stewart’s Wuhan rant. But then again, I could easily be convinced it’s all fake and none of any of this is real.
That said, long overdue financial remuneration arriving shortly. Give one of the Henchlesbians a big, wet, sloppy kiss for me.

Bless you, sir. May you know the simple pleasure of a magnetised knife rack.
Seriously? I hate the block thing we store ours in but never really considered the magnetized thing. Though tbf I may not have the right kind of space for it. We are thinking of redoing our kitchen, but just minor stuff right now. Looking at tile for a backsplash today. Do you put your knife sharpener on there as well or do you not use the long wandy thing to sharpen them?
I do love these ‘what’s racist now?’ Tweets:

Ours is gripping the side of the extractor hood.

I hated the block that sat on the counter, collecting dust that cannot be avoided, but like the sort that lies flat in a drawer.
“House guests”.
AntifaMaxine (they/them) just wants people to enjoy the meme, (you bastards).
I hated the block that sat on the counter,
Ours seemed to accumulate gunk in the recesses. The magnetised rack feels secure and is more accessible. Though for a more learned view on optimal knife storage, and kitchen sorcery in general, we may have to wait for Karl to materialise.

In part, I believe, because kitchen dust tends to be a big greasy due to cooking. I like being able to have nearly everything put away in drawers: Less clutter, and makes cleaning easier.
A “radical academic” (I know, a surprise) calls for a national Struggle Session Day, a day of silent guilt and shame.
Not black enough, “She is NOT a Foundational Black American…”, great, another subdivision of a faction, what could possibly go wrong ?
“House guests”.
“Airbnb said…the guests have been banned from service”
How about banned from the United States?
She argues that Canada Day “serves only to…deny the experiences of marginalized communities.”
Isn’t that the whole purpose of marginalizing them in the first place? You’d have to be pretty severely educated to be able to miss that point.

What astonishes me is that there aren’t more droogs out there taking advantage of the opportunity for a little bit of the old ultra-violence. I mean, if petty larceny is no longer a crime, then surely beating a shoplifter half to death with a baseball bat must also be allowed, non?
I wonder if I could set up some kind of adventure tour/security company to provide retail protection and entertainment at the same time…
Bee nursing.
You see, he failed to be pleased by arson and rioting.

Yeah. You’d think, right? I have it on good authority that even North Korea isn’t this nuts.
Such Diversity™ !
Oh wait, there she is. No, not the veep, by the wall.
Great optics.

“Dinsdale!” In chorus of tiny high-pitched voices.

I read a promotional brochure online some time back for a cruise along the east coast of Africa. The basic staterooms were equipped with M16s, with better armament included with each upgrade. The best suites got crew served machine guns.
I think it was satire.

I did not expect major American cities to degenerate to that level of barbarism.
I am reminded of the farmer residing underneath a military airway who in the late ’90s, annoyed number of RAF ac passing overhead, wrote “PISS OFF BIGGLES” in big letters on his barn roof. Of course, as anyone with even a passing familiarity with aircrew could have predicted, this resulted in more flights overhead, often at lower altitude, as crews found any excuse to use that route to have a look for themselves…
Is Biggles a name with special significance?
PST314 – “Biggles” was the nickname of ex-RAF pilot James Bigglesworth, the main character of a series of children’s books written by W. E. Johns from the 1930s to the 1960s. The popularity of the books was such that the name was frequently used as a shorthand for pilots in general. Hence “PISS OFF BIGGLES”.
