Nevertheless, the story is interesting and tragic too, one of many such tales on youtube. The twist near the end is interesting, if such a horror can be called interesting. The uncovering of the perp showed what could be around us and Sophia’s quote is to the point:

Also, why can’t AI say the date “thirty-first” properly?

(0559) Morning all. Some big decisions today for many people … for Reform/Restore, for Donny, for Caitlin Clark … for me. More later. (0734)

 

5. There’s a Christie quote which underpins much of what I write today

… it affects my entire mindset, along with other factors … first being (The Blues Bros) Mission from God, plus the song Que Sera Sera in third place. This theme runs second throughout today for me:

That’s an excellent piece of advice to anyone contemplating suicide (not the medical establishment variety). All my decisions are based on these listed factors, balanced with personal life.

Plus Sod’s Law:

Sod’s law is a popular British expression stating that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong, usually at the worst possible time. It is the British equivalent of the American phrase “Murphy’s law”.

I’d like to take that even further … have you ever considered, especially if you are godless (or at least have other gods … wealth, women, power, the bottle etc.) that Sod’s Law is inextricably tied in with the first law … Mission from God?

Because if you have sold your soul to the Triune God, then He is obviously going to protect His interest in you, His agenda, His mission. And if any other mission clashes … guess what? Now, at the moment, these last twenty years, finding ourselves dropping into this complex of sites online, the obvious question is … for how much longer? On July 26th, 2024, we had an inkling of the shape of things to come.

And I have something nasty coming up in early September which may well see me out of home, offline, no hyperbole here. I’ll keep regulars in the loop as it approaches.

2. Was going to run this at one stage at OoL/Jstack

… think it belongs here more. It’s about the C of E, burning church buildings, wildfires and so on.

You conclude as you wish but my conclusions are:

• This woman is in thrall, not to the Triune God but to the other one, with horns and a tail
• The agenda is to tear down the west as we knew it but also Christendom in all its forms
• The whole reparations issue is a complete lie, plus highly irresponsible, given the state of C of E finances, maintenance of infrastructure, no longer supported by State etc. etc.

I’m mainly a secular blogger and Xer … nature, retro scenes, politics du jour … but esp. on X, there’s also a Christian component … Christendom in other words, meaning the West, as in its survival, a ragtag in the face of the hordes.

a) Spanish officials said at least 72 people had died during the unprecedented migrant influx into Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta, after an estimated 60,000 people entered the territory in a matter of days. Latest reports suggest most have since returned to Morocco, although hundreds—including unaccompanied minors—are believed to remain in the enclave.

b) Hungary’s power grid is entering a critical period as the country’s only nuclear plant, Paks I, shuts down for the first time in 44 years, removing around 2,000 MW of capacity during the hottest days of the summer.

c) The constitutional coup and the building of an authoritarian regime in Hungary. Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party are dismantling democratic Hungary as we have known it since 1990.

d) MAGA exiles including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson plot to launch NEW political party after waging war on Trump: ‘He betrayed us all’.

e) Artificial intelligence labs are in a new arms race to buy up millions of rare books, slicing them open, scanning the pages and pulping the remains — sparking concerns that the last remaining copies of out-of-print texts are being destroyed on an industrial scale.
