We inevitably get to the point where, though there are oodles of episodes left, it starts going “jump the shark”. For me, it was when it started going too graphic, actually showing the murders happen in detail (Series 2), grittier, less “fun”. Plus the badly treated gf was starting to wane as a drawcard … even Jacoby was now and then left out.

The issue for the redactor, moi, is it starts to involve more sifting, longer episode watching to rate it worthy of you … for example, there are three series 3s I’ve just gone through, none were up to it. Shall keep looking for now but it’s taking longer and longer if you get the drift.

Thursday [6 to 10]

(0945) Being visited from midday and so must basically get the content up afap early. (1020)

 

10. Moo corner


9. Here we go again about “Shows”


I’ve heard a few bad things about her, also about Emerald … essentially, it’s all “The Show”, same with Benny Whoever. In the US it seems, they can’t just report like Leah, there has to be a Big Show with Mega Star Presenter, no one is attributed to for content.

I want no part of that.

8. More cooking

7. Sammy Woodhouse

Some speculation over this:


Wonder why. She says:


I had a dream about Rupert this morning (yes I did). Saw him in a cafe and asked him for just three minutes. He looked to do something else, then next thing, we’re sitting over cuppa and nibbles. I look in my wallet, see there are about £80, know I’ll use card to pay for the comestibles, pull out the cash and ask if he can accept cash donations.

He smiled and pointed out that the optics looked not good. Wot, £80 I asked. Besides, you will see when I pay by card who I am.

At that point, I woke up and after a short prayer for luck, started transferring DAD’s drop to the HQ post.

6. The fairness in Britain

Isilme’s invisible apple cake

 

Well, Beloved was so excited when he saw the Invisible Apple Cake recipe on the blog and I must confess to liking the look of it – so today I made one!

Usually I spend ages getting things together to cook, but I had everything in the ingredients list, so that made things easy. I popped into the garden and plucked 4 good-looking apples. The batter was straightforward and flattening the apples was fun as I ended up using my fingers and got all gloopy.

We just had to try a slice after I’d photographed the result. I couldn’t report on cooking the cake without telling you how it tastes!! It has a bit of a soggy bottom (because I had the cooling grid the wrong way up!!) But it tastes really good. I shall make it again, no doubt.

I’d give all patrons a slice, but I can’t fit it into the laptop orifices to send it…. So you will have to drool instead. 

Thursday [2 to 5]

(0737) Morning all … an hour earlier than expected. (0826)

3. This relates to the video at NOWP 1523:1

Bona fides of the presenter:


His logo:


Can’t get his full name on a medium dig, so will leave it … one of his commenters says, and his profile foes too, that his account covers “internet dramas”…

This comment refers to the Shawn person:


This comment refers to Chris on Point:


IYE’s videos are under Wednesday’s last post.

My reading of it all is still to side with Leah on it … she does bring receipts and her timeline looks better to me.

2. DAD at 1522

a) Macron’s stance on France’s riots:- “There has been foreign manipulation of information afterward….”
[Apparently, France’s problems can all be explained by AI-generated images and foreign interference; or, in BBC speak, ‘It was mainly peaceful’.]

b) Carrefour Supermarkets takes up to €200 million hit from French riots and looting. According to group chief executive Alexandre Bompard, roughly 50 Carrefour outlets were attacked on the initial night of unrest alone.

c) Lula demands Bolsonaro be barred from Presidential Election. Brazil’s incumbent President Lula da Silva and challenger Flavio Bolsonaro are each seeking to disqualify the other ahead of Sunday’s run-off election over alleged electoral violations.

d) Euthanasia now accounts for double share of Belgian deaths. Belgium recorded 4,487 euthanasia deaths in 2025, now accounting for 4 percent of all deaths in the country and double the proportion from five years ago, with non-terminal cases rising dramatically.

e) Former CIA officer Larry Johnson delivered a controversial address at the UN Security Council, challenging widely reported narratives about civilian casualties in the Ukraine war. Citing the UN, Ukrainian, and historical wartime data, Johnson argued that casualty figures, the Donbas conflict, and cross-border attacks deserve greater scrutiny.

(0336) It’s another (probably) around 8.30 a.m. restart, with DAD. (0459)

 

How legit is Politics on X?

Meaning the name of the account, not politics in general. Contrary to possible expectations, I do not plan to call out Politics on X, whilst legitimising our own blog … but all the same, let’s see why. This was how it was presented:

Screenshot only

… and this was the text and a good graphic of DR(sr):

DataRepublican @DataRepublican just confirmed the quiet part out loud: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker@GovPritzker is explicitly named in the videos as one of only two governors willing to green-light the “illegitimacy memo”—a playbook for declaring a duly elected President illegitimate after the midterms so Democrat governors can claim they are the only legitimate U.S. authority.

This isn’t abstract “resistance.” NSL4A (the retired military and national security officials operationalizing the plan) and Pritzker’s own Governors Safeguarding Democracy group have been working the same sequence of redlines, including treating lawful federal pushback against coordinated protests as proof of illegitimacy.

Add the funding layer—his sister’s role in the Democracy Funders Network—and the coordination stops looking coincidental. Imported regime-change tactics, billionaire governors, and ex-military networks drafting the conditions under which states nullify federal authority: that is the actual document trail. DataRepublican has the receipts.

First off, I’ve seen footage a fair while ago of DR(sr) and it’s a pretty good likeness. Then Mike Engleman and others … consistent, legit MAGA or America First types.

The profile pic of PonX is irrelevant, except it suggests male, not female, it’s clearly supportive of “our side” in citizen journalism (antiWoke, pro-freedom of thought, word and deed, pro our own people).

It is followed by many, follows few (double-edged sword) and could be accused of “empire building”, as I call it, on the back of the current warrior out there. Big deal … “he” quotes her accurately, says he’s a “commentary account”.

Again big deal … so am I, so are our commenters. Nothing to see here. We call it getting the message out, also promoting her book, which I did via X retweet and like.

Any notes of caution? 🤔

Maybe … if you click on this X item, you’re not giving clicks to DR(sr), you’re giving them to PonX. Is that bad? Not necessarily … depends on the overall history of the account … started 2021.

Go to the profile, scroll down his content … cheeky chappy, similar topics overall … seems legit. Only thing I’d say is do explore who is saying it, not from what is put up front but through the sort of content over time, also the types of commenters. How does he handle conflict, will he incorporate later evidence?

Wednesday [16 till close of play]

(1430) Afternoon all … cunning plan is to slowly post the rest of the day, cunningly punctuating that with snoozes along the way.

 

25. DAD wrote this one

… there’s also much across the net right now

“International governments and agencies have urged websites to address two critical cyber-security flaws in a programming language which powers much of the internet.

The vulnerabilities were found within the PHP programming language, with a fix issued on Wednesday afternoon. “PHP is everywhere. It ​quietly powers WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento sites, shared hosting platforms, control panels, and an awful ⁠lot of software that doesn’t even advertise that it runs PHP under the hood,” cyber-security company Huntress said.”

Looks very much as if Them are trying, in a way they can blame on something else, to shut down our communicating.


24. Rainbow

First time I’ve seen one up close, rising out of the water … scinating (hipster for fascinating) … but note the ghostly figure of a man arising near the pot of gold! Checked after the rainbow disappeared … it was a dirty streak on the window pane outside … not on the inside, that was right out, y’hear!

13. At Lord Toby’s


In the latest instalment of the national demoralisation campaign, the Royal Institute of British Architects’ (RIBA) 2026 Stirling Prize has been awarded to what, on first glance, resembles an airport multistorey car park. In fact, the 13-sided buildings in Lion Green Road, Coulsdon are affordable and private housing commissioned by Croydon Council and designed by Mary Duggan Architects. What is most bleak about this award-winning design and the other modernist-pastiche finalists is the blank-eyed dismal quality of the windows.

Not just windows, is it? In pete’s first youtube at 1522, the guy speaks of post-post-modernism, which I think involves returning afap to watch seem classical forms from the past. Can it be done or would it be some ersatz horror, not unlike a period show on tele with modern actors?

12. pete over at 1522

11. Anomalies within a current theme

Wed Mat one

 

The obvious question is why so many Peter Gunns. Answers … they’re good, we still have plenty of them, though the good ones become fewer, plus their length is just about right, plus there are not all that many alternatives just now. There’s a Philo Vance later but it’s over the hour. Enjoy.
