American beer, not English beer.
Prepare for robots with living skin.
Who will join me in declaring the Butlerian Jihad?
Another example of rapid upwardness.
Drain blockage detected.
I have gotten the impression that lots of women do not know there are easy ways to prevent such problems. But then, our plumber tells us that some of the apartment buildings he services need to have their kitchen drain lines cleaned out every three months! (In comparison our condo can go years without such service.)
Skills.
The thrill of cricket.
Never had much time for cricket. This changes everything. Brilliant!
Though, I imagine that level of service is restricted to certain levels of seating.
Grooming is important.
I just did a brake job on my son’s ten-year-old Kia and I wasn’t able to clean the calipers with as much precision as this guy.
Drain blockage detected.
I wish I could say that’s the first time I’ve seen something like that.
Now I’ve put a tea strainer in the drain to stop it from happening.
No antisocial tendencies on display here.
oh, oh italics on the loose I hope that fixed it.
Apparently not. I’m putting my coat in the car.
I think that got it, I hope.
Returns to post funny cats. Hangs head in shame.
What ARE they talking about?
American beer, not English beer.
Article says Coors and Keystone, not beer.
I don’t think the mayor knows the meaning of “literacy”
I am sure she would be a delightful colleague.
Hobby of note.
I need to know how it ends. ?
Morning, all.
Never had much time for cricket. This changes everything.
You can practically hear the panic of the director as he cuts away from the, er, unfolding events.

It’s the charming clouds of feet dust.
Hobby of note.
I’m of that certain age that this immediately came to mind.

Just another racist grifter who wants to bully white people and psychologically abuse them. At which point, one might note Ms Chantasirivisal’s fondness for green and purple hair dye, and its possible significance.
Mr Worstall has a question.
Again, as so often, wokeness seems antithetical to reciprocation.
Again, as so often, wokeness seems antithetical to reciprocation.
That.
It could work…

That.
It is, I think, telling just how often that happens. The reliance on double standards, on ignoring or opposing expectations of reciprocation – i.e., the Golden Rule – is practically a signature. It’s one of the reasons wokeness is quite literally stupefying, in that certain, fairly obvious considerations – basic questions one might ask – cannot be asked and indeed become unthinkable.
See, for instance, here, where the self-satisfied idiocy, carefully cultivated, is a thing to behold:
And this is the standard pattern. Once seen, spotted often.
Meanwhile, in suburbia, where nothing ever happens.
Grooming is important.
Offered to do the wife’s. She’s not amused.
Offered to do the wife’s. She’s not amused.
Was she not won over by the sound of the, er, procedure?
That, and the clouds of feet dust, I mean.
And yes, feet dust can be added to our list of band names.
I am sure she would be a delightful colleague
A not altogether surprising example of Ms Chantasirivisal’s “human centric insights” and general grifting :-

The Oxford Style Manual says that I can omit the scare quotes if I prefix “beer” with “American”.

An Engineering Leader with ADHD? Promises well for quality and safety standards.
A not altogether surprising example of Ms Chantasirivisal’s “human centric insights” and general grifting
I think we can assume that someone who uses the term “white supremacy” unironically – say, regarding a modern IT-related workplace – needn’t be taken seriously, about pretty much anything.
“I’m looking for my next leadership opportunity,” says she.
I can’t say I’d be rushing to hire someone who expects employers to somehow, based on nothing whatsoever, prove that they aren’t racist – a term that appears to include any demographic variation of practically any kind – and to prove themselves “an ally” of her own niche racial ideology. Thereby ensuring her “psychological safety.” And who does all this while herself being a racist who uses the term “white” as a pejorative and enjoys browbeating others based on their skin colour. And who says, rather triumphantly, “I don’t suffer white tears.”
[ Added: ]
It’s very likely that Ms Chantasirivisal is accustomed to being surrounded by other woke-lings, i.e., racially neurotic middle-class lefties – among whom, pretentious collective guilt is a marker of in-group status – and whose mental pathologies she can exploit. Whether for reasons of personal advancement or just sadistic entertainment.
But again, not the kind of creature that a sane person would want on the payroll.
Mr Worstall has a question.
The thing is with this nonsense about who plays what is that it is only ever about sex and race. From now on I expect Hanks only to take roles where he is an actor, but the only roles he can take as an actor playing an actor are an old white guy.

Is where Lebron James got the idea, the difference is Monroe stopped at the back of the book.

Plenty of good ‘Merkan beer, just not that sort of weasel piss, but, seriously, you are going to take style tips from an outfit that can’t spell aluminum properly?
can’t spell aluminum properly?

Sorry about that, but it is a known fact that all dictionary writers in the UK are paid for and, and the books priced, by the letter which is why you ended up with all those superfluous letters in various wourds.
Speaking of spelling, a spelling bee of note.

Worse, they think beans on toast is a delicacy. Barbarians.
Like I said, barbarians.

This kinda is the thing. This level of desired “authenticity” rarely follows through to the script. I mean, if they really, really want authenticity movies like Hidden Figures and…well pretty much all movies will need to be remade. And especially no more explosions going BOOM in a vacuum.
barbarians.
Heh.

It is rumored that on July 4, 2024 Elon Musk will paint a giant message on the Moon saying “It’s spelled ‘aluminum'”.
