9. Generational behaviours are a good indicator
… of who said what and why, why this or that was being pushed.
I took it one or two steps further … If I can say that a certain generation is from 45 to 28 today, Tuesday, another is currently 11 to 28, another 62 down to 45 … and that the 17 year gap is a fair model (give or take 2 or 3 years overlap) post-ww2 but that it doesn’t quite work that way 1890 to 1946 … that’s a conclusion after much study.
Refining it further, there’s a case for dividing it in two … that 1946 to 1955/6 are one lot and 1955/6 to 1963, Generation Jones according to some American analysts, is another, more aligned with Gen X, more complicated and prog, while the first is still Happy Days … I’ve started thinking late Boomer/early Gen X for so eone born 1959 to 1965, say.
And I’ve already put the case for decades being more properly, culturally in the west … mid 50s to mid 60s, mid 60s to mid 70s and so on … rather than from the top of each decade till the next.
Then there’s who are which gen’s children … for example, a Boomer from 1955 has a child … when? Let’s say at 24 years of age. That child is cusp Gen X/Millennial. It’s not so that mid Boomer has a mid Millennial child … those half generations become important in any demographic study. If my preferred popular music is 1955 to 1965, then how does that place me, Gen wise?

7. Rare for me to put the case for men
… but true to form, I do it through a woman’s words:

6. Them can exert more control over the public if they’re too scared to go outside. The virus showed them that.
It doesn’t matter whether the event was real or cgi. Them get their desired effect. Actually they get more than most realise. It sends people off in all directions trying to get to the bottom of what happened – folks will spend many hours, days, weeks or months doing that. E.g. The Ukraine situ, CK, Southport, now this. Look over here don’t look over there.

In the oast couple of days I have noticed a few articles mentioning the gun ownership situation in Oz. There are a lot of guns in private ownership and it is relatively easy to obtain a licence for sport or pest control. This latest atrocity is their Hungerford or Dunblane, they’re disarming the proles.

JH: Following this one, Andy.
This very funny video on the Monty Python skits. Worth a watch as it breaks down the production, filming with actors and non actors.

I see that one of the victims is named as Matilda, I’m waiting for a Bruce to be mentioned.
After watching several minutes (BannonsWarRoom) of the attack as it started it appears they were using bolt-action hunting rifles. The way they were running the bolts on those rifles indicates a level of training beyond hunting. It was combat marksman: moving all the time you keep the weapon shouldered and your eye on the target as you work the bolt and fire.
