AFS

…just another stupid acronym, this time standing for Another Fucking Snob.

This guy Nicky Haslam claims to be an arbiter of “class” or more often of what constitutes “low class” or “common.”  Like most of his ilk, he’s simply a waspish little poseur, this time with his list of things or people he finds “common”:

  1. Selling art
  2. Artsplaining
  3. Sistine Chapel
  4. Christie’s
  5. Downlit art
  6. ‘Art is subjective’
  7. Silent auctions
  8. Children by Renoir
  9. Symbolism
  10. Hanging photographs
  11. ‘Can’t see what you see in that’
  12. David Hockney (can’t paint for toffee but can draw like a god)
  13. Francis Bacon is the campest artist since Gustav Moreau
  14. Waldemar Januszczak’s real name
  15. Giverny
  16. The Mona Lisa
  17. Oil paintings of big game
  18. Oversized garden art
  19. Studio visits
  20. Philistine
  21. Genres
  22. Frieze
  23. White
  24. Trauma
  25. Interpreted
  26. Banksy
  27. Validation
  28. ‘Have you got anything to fit this space?’
  29. Meaningful
  30. ‘I’m afraid it’s reserved’
  31. Kate Moss
  32. Tapestry wall hangings
  33. Have you noticed there is no ‘school’ of Lucien Freud
  34. Saint Laurent
  35. Buying art at weekends
  36. The Biennale

Most of it flies right over my head (which would probably make him add me to his list), but whatever.  (And I’m sorry, but art is very much subjective, or else there’d only be Thomas Kincaid’s paintings hanging on every wall and in every gallery.)

All that said, however, there is nothing that shouts “common” to me more than this choice of wardrobe:

…which happens to be what this little tit was wearing when he oh-so proudly displayed his latest tea towel.

News Roundup

But what brings on B.O. quicker than anything?  HOT WEATHER!  Which means:


...and when the temperature doesn’t increase in three years’ time, can we flog these scientists (and journalists) in public for unnecessarily spreading fear and panic?  And if that isn’t bad enough:


...it could happen in 10,000 years’ time, or it could happen tomorrow.  Now THAT’S what I call a precise prediction.


...to which I say:

In other words, if you feel threatened by beer (or scientists for that matter), drink gin.

Time for some / ?  I think it is.


...and then should arrest all the orgs’ staff for funding civil unrest.


...and quite rightly so.  They encourage the lawlessness, let them pay for it.  Feel free to charge them for the cost of National Guard deployment, for extra budgetary pleasure.


...why carry on with the wall if they’re not coming in?  For the benefit of future non-MAGA presidential administrations.


...we’re not shooting them dead in the streets when we find them, are we?  That’s about as humane as we should be prepared to go.  (see next item)


...I dunno, I thought they did a pretty good job back in the ’70s at Kent State.


...you mean they’re not getting the free education that they shouldn’t be getting in the first place?
#FeatureNotBug


...nothing to see here, move along.  And:


...I was hoping for three-thirds, but this is a good start.  Transfer all the cuttees to ICE, where they’ll actually be useful.

In Justice News:


...if I may make a humble suggestion, then:


...now that’s gratitude for ya.  Feel free to remove this rapist by including him on the flight above.


...the cops are probably Republicans, and thought: “Democrats killing Democrats? ”

And now, some unlinked 

     …#JoinedInTheFun

...nope, I have no familiarity with the dramatis personae either.

And in our wanderings down :


...not that we’ve never seen La Sharon’s surgical creations before, but hey:

And a couple of the other pics from the shoot:

And on that artistic vision of sexual harassment, we’ll end it all.

Monday Funnies

And the weekly diary entry:

So on to the things wot makes us laff.

Apparently, this is an actual announcement.  I dunno, man… electing a pansexual socialist — and y’all thought David Hogg was a stretch?

It’s going to be kinda tough to top that.  Still:

Ahhh Monica.  She’s in her fifties now, you know:

Have to say that if ever Monica’s short of cash, an OnlyFans account might be be quite profitable.

Quote Of The Day

From the Greatest Living Englishman:

The Clarkson’s Farm star admitted that he couldn’t understand how machines can ‘spot what’s happening in every part of your body, apart from your bottom’.

‘They can photograph your ventricles and every bit of your brain, but if they want to know what’s going on with your prostate, which lives in the anus, for some reason, the doctor has to put his finger in there. I can only assume it’s because he likes it.’ 

 As funny as it is, he makes a really good point.  Why can’t scans detect bowel/colon/prostate problems?

I await comments from the Leech-People among my Readers.
