(1735) Whoa! Was distracted, chaps and chapesses. That girl in the last one … was watching her react to The Who … Won’t Get Fooled Again. Her performance was great … sadly, theirs was below par in my book.
22. DAD with snowfall fun at 896
… Great Lakes area.
21. Oh Christmas Tree
20. Think the message is clear
19. Items 3 to 6 at 896
… are from Andy, Steve and IYE, with links, to some pretty dire stuff … nailing those creeps on the other side, let heads roll.
Juan and IYE in comments here with links … check out.
There was a youtube-recommended of some journo analysing Dire Straits’ Alchemy performance of Sultans of Swing, played in 1983 … the years are important here. Mark Knopfler was born in 1949 so he was possibly, then, a similar age to that of the reactor, left … why did I choose her?
Well I looked at various guys first but they were either right into themselves or their channel shtick, or they were full of ego (not unknown in a man) … or they were good guys but soooo over-analytical … or they paused way too often, giving us their wisdom … plus I had to watch the reactor for twenty minutes, so he/she had to be halfway personable.
Why a reactor at all? Why not just watch the performance as is? How many dozen times have I watched it? Yes, it’s great and this commenter sums it up well:
Etcetera.
The two keys to me in the performance were lack of ego, chemistry … and lack of pyrotechnics and all that. So I wanted the reactor to be like that … there for the moment, super-responsive, at least two generations younger … so Gen X, Millennial, Gen Z cusp … and a girl in glasses seemed to fit the bill. It had to be someone who truly did not know of them, not playing her era of music.
The reactor, in other words, had to take the Dire Straits performance one notch higher, herself being all the things she was saying about the performance … chemistry plus. She had to enhance it if possible.
Plus not interrupt more than three times. Reaction vids on youtube must, by regulation, interrupt a few times … that’s a given … one hopes it’s not during key moments … at the same time, it is her channel … so we need to cut her some slack. Last few minutes she rabbits on … she said she didn’t want the performance to end … well I didn’t want her to end. Just like Jason Bourne with Marie in the car … didn’t matter what she was saying … just keep saying.
It’s the truth that it was never my intention to run yet another all blonde L@L, yet there they were appearing on X and I was screenshooting. But then a lady died and I thought she had to be the first shown today.
(1215) Afternoon all … major backlog of posts and stories, plus there are four gals pics in the queue. All right, just a few polit issues now, ladies at lunchtime around 1300. Tomorrow, MMUTR is visiting … talking tech.
11. I’m relying on Kassandra in Athens to keep up with Syria
… she’s Greek Orthodox:
10. My only comment on Biden
… is in these two below … everyone and his dog out there are getting into it.
9. The issue with Reform
I’m thinking Nigel needs to wake up … he’s under the influence of Tice who wants to be the replacement for the Tories but Reform is a much broader party than that. Kate Hoey and he were quite close for sometime … I repeat, Nigel needs to wake up.
(0654) Shall snooze later, some posting now. Morning all! (0733)
8. Moosh corner
7. TDS today
6. Legiron can be found in blogrolls, first column
5. Steve drops at 895 last evening … excerpts
Four: Trump Wants Hostages Released by Hamas by Inauguration Day, huge number of crims stopped at US border from Canada, 70% of Biden Education Enforcement Targeted Christian and Career Colleges, Smith & Wesson blues, much more.
Three: Kash, Cruz, MSNBC, Chronister to DEA, more.
Two: Syrian, Ukrainian situations, much more.
One: New “Thank You, Dr Fauci” documentary, Romania, Georgia, $100m to Farage’s Reform? More.
4. DAD’s main drop at 896 today
a) The automobile group Stellantis announced in a press release on Sunday the resignation “with immediate effect” of its CEO Carlos Tavares, at the head of PSA since 2014, then of Stellantis since 2021.
…..
JH (0702): Another on the “fundamental interconnectedness of all things” theme, as I have a connection to what Stellantis does … it most certainly affects me in a secondary way, maybe eventually in a primary way, disrupting life as I know it at our abode, plunging us once again into a living hell … problem is, I can’t publicly explain. Classic case of it not being one’s own doings and surrounds but that of others around us … we are unfortunately not islands, no matter how far we organise for it to be so. Interesting that DAD chose to run this item first.
b) International markets appear to be increasingly weary of potential political instability in France, pushing up interest rates.
c) Feathers have been ruffled by the unearthing of a secret letter from the German Vice-Chancellor and Greens party member Robert Habeck to the then-French energy minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher in the summer of 2022.
d) Monotreme corner today.
3. DAD’s second drop first from 896
“President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter tonight, allowing the younger Biden to avoid a possible prison sentence for federal gun and tax convictions. Mr. Biden issued the pardon despite his past promises not to do so. President-elect Donald Trump responded to the pardon, saying the real miscarriage of justice was the ongoing imprisonment and prosecution of the J6 protesters.”
As there’ll be much said this week and subsequently, which we’ll mention here in due course, there are two immediate reactions I for one have:
a. Where does that place the wrongful lawfare on DJT and how they plan to dispose of that.
b. What else is this pardon distracting us from, look around 270 degrees, folks, be vigilant.
(0340) Going to do a wee hours post item on timings and other guff, you dear, long suffering readers. (0425)
2. Speechless
1. The fundamental interconnectedness of all things
… takes on a whole other meaning with me because there are different elements with different requirements and I have to mesh those with my aging bod’s requirements in my own time zone … failing to do this is unsustainable in a real, non-left-political sense.
Plus this is not of the slightest interest to each of you, as you have your own bodyclock requirements and routines, yes? However, now started … let’s press on.
The first with me is that I must complete certain chores/routines each day/evening, otherwise it’s dangerous for health. One is that I must wear a hoody to bed to cover the scone, otherwise lurgy and with the state of the NHS, the way that goes to heart, circulation, stomach, doctor’s appointment if lucky, new kill-the-aging laws … you get the idea.
Complicating this is my central heating, on timer … it must be like this, with two four-hour gaps with no heating on because from bitter experience, this boiler packs up if on constantly through the winter … pressures etc. … and the heating engineer has now gone … the one we had for years. So one of those periods is my 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., when I must be asleep and the other is late morning till mid afternoon.
Complicating that is that MMUTR visits around middays … in the no heater time.
Through all this, there is what readers and others believe, versus what I know to be so. Universal verities such as “everyone can choose his own path” are increasingly bollox as the heating unit, plus Gates’s cold chemtrail winter, plus my heart/circulation, each have intolerant demands, let alone sleep demands … I must have six and a half hours a day in order to avoid health issues, as GPs no longer exist and wish to kill us anyway, in accordance with corporate healthcare/WEF.
In short, there’s no cavalry to save us anymore. Rule is simple … don’t get sick … under any circumstances whatever. None. Nor injured … no falling over, no scalding oneself, no missing meals, no not taking meds, whilst at the same time, the latter are overdue for review. But no GP anymore etc. complicates this.
Into all this comes blogging. Engine room Steve has time requirements early to late evening, IYE has times he appears, Andy is wee hours of night, Toodles is in American central time, the antipodes has its own time frame … Russia seems to have dropped out of calculations of late. There are American considerations though, esp. these days, as their evening … which is now … is when they’re most active.
France is a big factor at this blog and an hour from now, DAD drops, so he has to have a new post posted but if I crash around my 9 p.m., Steve’s last two items depend, plus before morn, I need to put up the new DAD post frame. With Steve, it’s up to him … if his 3 and 4 have “a to f”, the WordPress system posts it and readers get to see it mid-evening. But if he goes to “g” or even “h”, it does not post itself and readers miss out. His call. I cannot be relied upon to be awake after 2100 because of all the other interrelated factors acting upon the Higham, who crashes around 2030.
Why not tinker with the HQ backend in order to restructure? Must not. There’s a golden rule … if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. WP has now learnt what to let through, what to spam … don’t forget those euphemisms either as a factor, droppers or other commenters.
Result of the set up, as it is now, is that there’ve been fewer issues of late in comment dropping … huge thanks to MMUTR … have you noticed? Didn’t just happen on its own … there really is a fundamental interconnectedness of all things … we alter one, we put unsustainable pressure on the others.
Tell you what … it’s an unusual life, chaps and chapesses … I should be in a rocking chair, gazing out of the window, reminiscing about bygone days instead of dealing with time zones and no medical service any more in Britain guff. Yet if I did do the regular aging thing … I’d be dead or demented … quite sure of it.
Right … 0425 GMT, DAD usually drops at NOWP within the hour, I’m crashing for the second sleep, see ya around 0730 GMT to 0830 for Mon 2 onwards. Y’all have a wunnerful new week, y’hear.
