Two birds with one stone. Three actually. Firstly, saved by IYE again. Secondly, MMutR loves sci-fi, was asking about it … in fact, I mentioned this film and he liked. Thirdly, putting up the film gives me breathing space to find some jazz for 1515, last politpost following that.

First the cunning plan … most don’t need these over explanations … but as some do need them to place my movements, sort of signalling it is … that’s why it’s here. First up for this slot today was Black Belt Barrister (too political for a feature), one from Gab from Stonewall Jackson (possibly at Jstack soon), one from a strange girl (on Romulus and Remus), Pod People from IYE (thumbnail made and ready), one from Andy (in the main posts), some Baroque for DAD, some jazz needs finding for later … and this.
Why all these ladies? I find them soothing, nice as hosts … whereas BBB is better for hardhitting items, politically. Anyway:

4. Tertiary institutions are almost worthless now
… as for the supposed bits of paper … don’t make me laugh.
“This is what higher education has turned into — taxpayers funding fringe ideology disguised as ‘research.’ These aren’t PhDs; they’re political statements soaking up public money while serious fields struggle for funding. Academia has become a playground for activism, not a pursuit of knowledge.”
3. Good girl!
All ladies should have their immediate counterattack plans in place … plus something hard in the handbags.
2. Some sort of op ed
a. France and DAD … I know it’s hypocritical to rail against clickbait and I singularly refuse to take it when I suspect the blogger is trying it on … then with DAD and Steve, I do just that to you because to ustd France this day for example, it’s necessary to see it in situ, that is at NOWP and at the end of those links, not in my abridged summary here.
b. Then we get to this tavern being a constant haven and not just this one either … my most consistently visited are AKH and Roobee. I’ve noticed Longrider’s kept up the posting, Julia, Vox … you have your go-tos … we need everyone posting, not necessarily proliferating, maybe UHC is a bit OTT … it’s some sort of constancy in the swirling surge of society down to the sewer which makes us baulk and say no way.
c. Then I think of the nomenclature … for example this place being called nourishing unherdables, for want of thinking up a different name. The notion of the lighthouse on the promontory works as an idea, some sort of beacon, with many beacons up and down the country, each with taverns, outhouses, stables, chapels. What about the whole estate, property though, inc. up river? Riberboat, huts etc.?
Yep … that seems to work but what to call the whole place? Estate? Property? Site? Sites? It does sprawl a bit, does it not? Is it presumptuous to call this one NW Haven for Unherdables, “the haven” for short? Imho, it works when seen as one of various havens up and down the country, plus over in the southern USA. That works, methinks.
Way back in the days of Python, on one elongated stay in Oz, we had the idea of a various havens dotted across the city … we called them Brucehavens … it did work, but by phone. We’d phone and say, “Morning Bruce.” We were all Bruce. Someone had to say, “Mind if we call you Bruce to keep it clear?”
As you’d all be aware, that sort of insanity kept us all sane. The other day, some chap from Rutland tweeted and asked what we thought of Rutland. I commented, “Uber alles?” He latched on immediately. New mutual follower.
This haven was at its highest point in some ways (NO I mean) during the Wallace and Grommit days of Nick Park. We had a reader page … guestposters it was called, plus the notion of Wesleydale on the moon was large. The later Bloghounds became way too serious for my liking.
d. To finish up … just what point am I trying to make? No idea. Let’s invent one … maybe that culture is far more than geography and language, it’s also shared something-or-other. Probably. And when some barbarians crash it, we savagely turn on them like the good people of Krikkit. “Ooze ee, Bruce? Eeve arf a brick at im!”

France. Lecornu tries to form a government. The right and left both say that they will not support him. One of the centre parties say that they will support him with a budget, but no more.
a) In bypassing Marine Le Pen’s surging National Rally (RN) and Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s oppostion La France Insoumise (LFI), Macron has effectively shut out millions of French voters from the decision-making process.
b) In a post on X, Bardella accused President Emmanuel Macron of being “more isolated and disconnected than ever at the Élysée” ….
c) ‘Les Republicians’ party offer only support for the budget….
d) President Emmanuel Macron will travel to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday, October 13, 2025, to demonstrate his “support for ….

11. Has Trump learnt nothing?
This is disturbing on so many levels. Trump just announced he got his COVID booster. As a paramedic who’s watched people die from these shots, who’s tried to speak out while being silenced, I can hardly describe what this feels like. It’s not “public health.” It’s a slow, organized poisoning. To see it celebrated makes me sick to my soul. So, for all out there that follow Trump like he’s the be all end all. You can either see this as pharma attempting to harm him. Or, you can see this as him not caring how many people we’ve seen destroyed by this poison. Still praying for Trump. Either he’s an enemy of the people, or a victim of an enemy. Still deserves prayer. God bless

Review:
Simon Templar meets a young American woman named Sue Inverest while on vacation in Italy. During their tour of the coliseum, Templar is knocked out and Sue is kidnapped. Templar learns that Sue is the daughter of an American Governor (Indiana, I think). The head kidnapper has a brother on death row in Governor Inverest’s state. He wants his brother’s sentence commuted in exchange for Sue’s life. Being The Saint, Templar intercedes to help secure Sue’s release.
I’m going to have to disagree with the only other review (as of 3/29/17) on IMDb for The Latin Touch. I really enjoyed this episode. The tension in the episode came through for me. This is television, so you just know everything will be alright in the end, but the tension was still there. I could feel the governor’s pain as he struggled with what to do – keep a killer locked-up or save his daughter. And, the trick Templar plays on the baddie was a pretty sweet scene.
I suppose the fact that there was someone working for the mob from the inside was a given, it was still fun to watch events unfold. And, once again, I’m impressed with the acting. After just two episodes, Roger Moore continues to be something of a revelation to me. In the supporting cast, Alexander Knox, as usual, gives a good performance. And Warren Mitchell is an out-and-out scene stealer. His cabbie, Marco Di Cesari, is a hoot.

Unfortunate male traits, especially today
You Tube is flooded with this sort of thing, not all from Pearl or JedBila:
Voice then cracks. The saddest part, to me, is how she ever got to be like this. I don’t mean standard characteristics such as men basically don’t care, women are always right, even when wrong … these things transcend eras … I mean that she was equipped with almost no people skills due to upbringing and education, also the hypergamy and fickleness, always looking for a better deal, complete godlessness.
At this point, I stopped and thought that YT is flooded with these, made by women, with the old MGTOW vlogs as well. I was thinking … whatever happened to all the older YTs such as Kezia Noble advising men (simps mainly) how to attract a woman … there was a flood of videos by women advising men. Much harder finding these today … and I did try, because I wanted this post to be the other side … things wrong with men.
I searched and found a few and here, in no particular order, were many of the faults of modern men:
It went on, the list and the immediate thought was that many of those were women’s faults too … some were definitely men’s though.
Next thought was that both the women’s vlogs slamming women and those slamming men were contrary to my personal agenda in the matter … which is trying to do what I can to bring western men and women together again in sanctified marriage, in order to get to work on each other and procreate.
Therefore, these sorts of lists, vlogs, podcasts, posts, are hardly helpful. To my mind, my agenda is a very tall order in 2025. But we press on.
That 48 minute look at WW2 shelters turned out to be fairly dull, to the point one commenter asked if it would be possible to have it with a human, not an AI voice. Jago, who is unfortunately of the soft left, indulged in some Wokery in a couple of vlogs and this below has an issue shared with Ruairidh …
The sound quality is poor. In Ruairidh’s case, many commenters pointed this out to him … in Jago’s case, it comes out “tinnier” than it used to, making it borderline unlistenable … but just sufficient for some interesting subject matter.

So Macron has a appointed a new PM. Sebastien Lecaru.
That should read RE-appointed. Less than a week after he resigned, having been PM for 47 days [the shortest time for a PM in the 5th Republic], we have the same Wally as before. I predict that this time he will not last more than 7 days, not 47.
Macron is toast……..
