IYE:
AW was labeled divisive by some oiks in the past few days. Here’s some evidence that she wasn’t.

This is more to listen to … the camera work is awful.
And the official release:
Ggl overview:
“Known as “Cicero” to his Nazi handlers, mercenary spy Ulysses Diello (James Mason) poses as valet to Sir Frederic (Walter Hampden), the British ambassador to Turkey. Learning that widowed Countess Anna Staviska (Danielle Darrieux) is broke and offering her services as a spy, Diello persuades her to stash his ill-gotten gains for him in exchange for putting her back into the luxury she desires. Dreaming of a gentleman’s exile in Rio de Janeiro, he pushes the espionage game to the limit.”

What really happened.
b. Settled Science :
“We’re routinely told that the science behind climate change is settled, that the models are reliable, and that the institutions behind it would catch and correct any errors.
Each of these claims deserves scrutiny, because none of them withstands it particularly well…..”

6. Birthday of England
Bless you, Saskia, for reminding us. Ggl AI:
“In 927 AD, King Æthelstan conquered the last Viking kingdom of York and united the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, creating the Kingdom of the English. He is celebrated as the first true King of England, a founding moment that historians and historians mark as the nation’s birth. On July 12, 927, Æthelstan secured this unification by meeting with Scottish and Welsh kings at Eamont Bridge in Cumbria. They swore oaths of peace, recognizing his overlordship of Britain, which allowed Æthelstan to adopt the title Rex Anglorum (King of the English).”
… turn away now.
(0815) Very late start here … long long sleep, hoping you did to, or soon shall. Had to smile … a young lady from Alberta, messaged me that she’d been into the blog. Was Dad my own dad? I was tempted to say yes, he’s challenging Mehuselah, but the just replied that DAD (all capitals) is our senior member. This post is a slow build today, just getting into the bath, then small brek.

a. Another suspect has been arrested in South Yorkshire. Police have washed ed no time to inform us that the suspect is a “white British national”. Probably far right.
b. The Daily Telegraph (paywall) has an article headed “Church of England to roll out AI guidance for vicars”. One would assume that said vicars have little faith in the power of prayer.
2. DAD at 1436
a) The French Guiana paradox: Europe’s most porous strategic frontier. Persistent exploitation of legal loopholes in an EU outermost region erodes Europe’s sovereignty claims and creates opportunities for criminal and state-adjacent networks.
b) LGBT cruise denied entry by Turkey and Egypt, shattering myth of Muslim tolerance. A Mediterranean cruise carrying around 2,000 passengers, mainly homosexual men….
c) German Public Pools are forced to increase Security amid immigrant youth misconduct. According to reports, several incidents of assault, harassment, and theft have been attributed to young men of migrant background coming from France.
d) Seville halts mosque building permit after Vox legal challenge. The scheme, promoted by the Fundación Mezquita de Sevilla, includes a prayer hall, ablution rooms, a courtyard and a 30-metre minaret alongside social and cultural facilities.

Maybe cut the lady some slack here … it’s largely as we’d expect.
