Weary narcissism

Incredible stuff

Is it that 'woke'? . Saw Tamsin Greg play malvolio in a 12th night and Glenda Jackson play King Lear, a trans woman playing a female role doesn't feel mad.

Oh, Mevans.

Totally missed the mark on that one

Oh dearie, dearie me

You know how those half & half football scarves are intended to celebrate special events and fan unity from rival clubs? Well I've just had an idea...

Too late, Starmer and Elphicke beat you to it.

It’s not racist to tell a Japanese person you like sushi, says judge.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/0 ... ndon-soas/

In a ruling, a judge has dismissed claims by a Japanese professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London that she suffered race discrimination when a fellow academic recommended her a sushi restaurant.

Prof Nana Sato-Rossberg, an insect specialist, had accused Provost Claire Ozanne of being prejudiced, claiming she would not have said to a German “I like sausage”.

But an employment tribunal found the senior academic was just making “small talk” and trying to be friendly and that no reasonable person would have taken offence.

UK McDonald’s dropped smiley face from Happy meal and rebranded it “The meal” for mental health awareness week

That's got to be worth a few extra points on their DEI score and credit rating.

I mean, this sounds ridiculous, but reading the article it's actually quite a nice idea.

No doubt

It’s the fact that the company that has aggressively targeted children more than any other with toys, parties, gimmicks to eat sh*t that makes them unhealthy and depressed suddenly cares

Entirely fair comment.

I’m kind of cynical about “mental health week” type stuff anyway. I don’t know (genuinely) whether there’s any good evidence that they actually achieve anything beyond good PR for companies that get involved.
Actual awareness of social issues involves something a bit more meaningful.

If they care so much about everyone's well being, they should change their straws back to the non-melty plastic ones. C**ts.

Especially with milkshakes

Is the reason they got rid of the Happy Meal plastic toys because they found a way to convert them into biodigestible plastic to include in the milkshakes?

But haven't yet found a way to stop the modified milkshakes chemically interacting and collapsing the straws recycled from toilet paper rolls.
