What total prats … I’ve had this ready to load for days, played fine on YT … went to load it now … every single track disabled. Well they can sod off, the lot of em.

For the record, Tuba Skinny were visiting Toulouse, presumably on a tour de France, then a local band also played in that square, then they combined for the third number.

The lesson for me is to never trust these people to play fair, to actually load when seen so I know well ahead of time if they’re going to pull these stunts. Right, well that was jazz today, jazzamaniacs, not worth emailing today.

Disappointing.

Brought by our Steve. One of our prime directives here is to cover the major events and as many as we can of the minor. It’s central to the blogname that we are unherdable cats, agreeing on maybe 70% to 80% of things, not on others, esp. where we see anomalies.

I say why not? And let us not be churlish today, let us do justice to what is certainly a major day for many Americans, plus millions of others around the world … just as last week, September 13th, was a major day for Britain.

🚨 NOW: A sea of patriots are PACKED shoulder to shoulder for Charlie at State Farm Stadium just after 4AM.

The event is still multiple hours away. Traffic getting in is insane. There is a TON of energy in this movement. 🇺🇸

This is the mood in America I’m seeing … it really is more than the death of one martyr:

 

(1100) Autumnal equinox, by the way, is on Mon, 22 Sept 2025, 7:19 pm BST. (1200)

 

12. What if you were not dressed for the occasion though?

11. This plod on the doorstep thing

I read elsewhere that they were sent to confiscate the kid’s phone. The two “police officers” was a blonde girlchild looking about 18 to 20, plus a Muslim woman. That was it.

(0900) Sunny day in an autumny way. (0900)

 

10. Combine this item with that at OoL today

… and I’m thinking you get the drift.

9. Bondi … an ultimately disappointing person

… falling short precisely at junctures where she should not … and in nasty, disparaging ways, e.g. Bindergate.

8. Sunday thought

7. The gorgeousness of plain walls

This is not for all … it’s for those for whom strongly defined patterns of sun and shadow change inexorably through the day (if we’re lucky enough to have sun). It also does not mean huge swathes of white wall … it means highly irregular furniture, horizontally and vertically, with drapes, plus irregular ceiling beams, plus windows facing in three directions, such that each room comes into its own at some point.

The bedroom-gym gets it first … sudden shafts of overwhelming sun cast jagged shadows and lesser shadows, while lattice windows cast form and order … it really is quite spectacular. So I migrate room to room through the day, according to nature’s cycle.

6. Over at OoL

(0701) Morning all …

 

5. Charlie Kirk Funeral and Memorial Service Day

My mother had a memorial service separate to the funeral, my father had been too many years before that. It’s a nice idea, a Memorial Service and I’m going to do this in Q&A form:

Q: Aren’t there anomalies about the CK death, e.g. about the exit wound?

A: Certainly are, but this is not the day for these … the CK effect has been a boon for Christianity, plus he did speak those good things, did ask the right questions, despite Erika’s pendants … what else is there to say? Simon Peter maintained his Jewish observances, Paul of course did not.

Q: The CK effect?

A: Certainly … esp. on the young … the key to any sort of societal comeback is them, the Millennials and Zoomers … CK knew that full well. And CK has inspired many of em, just as Yuri presaged, predicted.

Q: Isn’t there too much hysteria going on?

A: Oh undoubtedly, given wings by DJT, himself an anomalous figure. But there’s purpose to it too … and not just for him … the Wokerati and globopsycho going apoplectic is a nice thing, a useful thing in itself. Good things can accidentally come out of all this, as they did from London’s festive carnival on the 13th … that was a lovely gathering of the nation’s people, the good, middling ones. Great for morale.

Q: But is this not just that bit in the Hegelian dialectic after the manufactured crises, the dark days of people crying out to be saved, the appearance of the Beloved Leader, promising to restore Laura Norder but really ushering in …..

A: Shhhhhh!

4. DAD at 1156

a) Much-loved peer DavidAlton is unable to speak at Second Reading of the assisted suicide Bill in the House of Lords after sustaining spinal injuries in a bus crash.

b) Ghost Pitùr, The Masked Avenger of Beauty. Every night, a mysterious shadow comes to save the Italian city of Brescia from tags and graffiti.

c) Beautiful Charlie Kirk tribute released by the White House. I’m happy to see our Unite The Kingdom rally featured in it.

(0551) Morning all in the damp dark. Dawn just breaking now => (0628)

1. James Alexander writes

… at TDS (navbar above, middle column, link) about the ‘far left’ getting its ‘comeuppance’. Well that’s the Reform mentality to a tee, innit? That someone ‘up there’ ‘on our side’ will ‘get theirs’ with no input from us, beyond voting for Nige … and for others of ‘us’, that Tommy’s rallies provide the necessary mass disobedience.

At the same time, the ferreter class among us point to him being AIPAC or Mossad … I keep repeating that there’s no zero sum here, no prophet or messiah to lead us out of the mess … a subdivision of ‘us’ goes the eschatological route … that society has fallen away, therefore it’s best the Messiah gets a move on and appears above the Gates cloud.

I’m not knocking that, except that He sets the timing, not Christian humans. There’s the little matter of the 144k saints first, p,us the two voices in the streets. One thing for sure is that the sheep are directionless without the Shepherd, whichever metaphysical or political stance you take.

Meanwhile? Ah, there’s the rub … that lot, the baddies … they want slaughter, conflagration, human misery, no? Do nothing? Nope … we can’t do that … that’s too Eloi, innit?

Suddenly, this first post item of the days ends.

Oh, by the way, you’ll not be able to read James Alexander’s piece as it’s behind a paywall … they want money.

… or “you can never go back”.

There was a blogger I had quite a soft spot for:

http://angusdeionallandsundry.blogspot.com/

As he said himself near the end: “The ciggies have done for me.” There was a photo of him in that last post, he said it was the last one. I notice that Tom Paine has done a blog migration … he can explain it:

A Faithful Archive: 19 Years of Blogging History

That’s interesting that everything’s come across from Typepad to WordPress … The Slog went t’other way … Ghost. I also revisited Ross Fountain and at the top of his sidebar, guess what I found?

https://fountain.blogspot.com

Typepad is closing and I know a guy

Now isn’t that interesting … I’m thinking the guy could be either DK or Lord T who appears at Tom’s.

In Warren Zevon’s song Nobody’s in Love this Year, changing one of the lines produces: “the rate of attrition for bloggers like us is steadily on the rise”. Uh huh. I’m sure we can go back if we must … I did some weeks ago … fortuitous that she was just as curious as I was and we’re still in touch. One dear friend I’m still in touch with has been so for the same number of decades, give or take. I think of Chuckles and haiku too, from N.O. days.

Music … hmmm, not so sure that that’s always good to return to … I did play some Radio Birdman, Stranglers … think I’ve aged … great for their time but … we do move on. Worse was that it was depressing, as it reminded of other things, errors made, opportunities passed up, failing to understand the dynamics. No point dwelling … my new ipad air arrived today, works nicely.

Plus I really like what we have here, the humble abode is fine for now but who knows what will be in a month? New neighbours. Happy I think is the man or woman who knows what he has right now, appreciates it, knows it can be lost just like that … not poetically but in real terms.

(1715) Evening all … a bit wet and windy out there.
