Frankly, this is on par with UEFA’s handling of racism issues more broadly. A lot of this is the legacy of Michel Platini, UEFA’s answer to FIFA’s Sepp Blatter.

The sexualized depiction is a problem. The porn thing is not. I would guess that not one person in a million was previously aware of the link, and about as many care.

Thank you.

I don’t doubt you’ve put a lot of money into it, but I promise you no car thief cares. Somebody that takes a car off the street is either looking for a late model Toyota that they can part out, or a joyride. Your Jeep, however special it might be to you, is neither.

...or, maybe nobody wants to steal an old CJ-7 with no roof?

Not even close. This is a razor for people who like stubble, not a razor for people who like to be clean-shaven.

It works fine as a trimmer. It’s completely useless as a razor, unless you like spending a lot of time on the kind of shave that looks as though you didn’t shave.

I have a similar problem when I order sour lassi in Indian restaurants in the US. The waitstaff are always very concerned that I really meant sweet or even mango (ugh) lassi. I grew up in a part of Britain famous for its Indian restaurants (actually, a mix of Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, plus a unique “Anglo-Indian”…

This makes me unreasonably happy. I hate SUVs, CUVs, XUVs, and whatever other rehashes of the Boring People Carrier are next down the turnpike, but the current generation of sedans are spectacularly dull too. I really want to see how Subaru and Kia respond.

I see we’re still observing the journalistic convention that pregnant women can only be photographed holding their bumps. 

I checked the site for Waste Management in North Carolina (who pick up my recycling) and they say: you can’t go by the numbers alone. Bottles, jars, jugs, and tubs are OK. I think this is to do with the automated sorting based on size and weight. So the best advice here is “check your local program”.

It’s a great beard trimmer but a lousy razor. I know it says to expect a “not too close” shave but it really feels more like “not a shave at all”

Little known fact: “Nigella” is an old Anglo-Saxon name meaning “we wanted a boy”

...I’m never getting out of the greys, am I?

I understand what you’re saying, and in situations where it really is consensual, I’d agree. Let sex workers do their sex work if they are willing. However it is very hard to say it is ever truly consensual when it involves a rich, powerful man and a poor, powerless woman. Even if this turns out not to be outright…

So he’s blaming his dead wife for not making him into the kind of man who frequents low-rent strip mall storefront brothels?
