(1237) Some good “shorts” to run just now, not much in the way of films, some short TV episodes … but it keeps changing.
15. The enemies inside

14. This is an interesting Schism
… again, just a snapshot here, there’s vastly more, natch. So national consciousness (ethnic, language) does come into religious denominations, as well as inter-denominational warfare. To my mind, there is something quite wrong about all this. I say that, not as an agnostic but as a believer inside the circle, so to speak.

13. That council by-election result
… signify anything much?

12. Snapshot of yet another inquiry

11. Snapshot of, rather than exploration of, this topic

7. This will need enlarging

6. Referring to Steve’s link on MTG in comments
Here are two pro-MTG comments:
And here are two counter points of view:
One commenter wrote that no effort November is spreading. Disagree, I adore such items by Chris … I don’t know, just appeals to a quirky sense of humour I suppose.
(0622) Morning all. Slept in. Just a word of appreciation for our three main “droppers” plus all who add to the mix across Unherdables. There is much reading today across at NOWP 1210. (0858)

4. Just something Toodles mentioned
… which had me searching:
“Dividers between panes of glass are called muntins (or glazing bars in the UK), which are the narrow strips that separate individual panes within a single window frame. Larger, structural dividers that separate entire window units are called mullions. Both can be either a decorative “true divided lite” with separate pieces of glass or a “simulated divided lite” where a grid is applied to the face of a single pane.”
Uh huh.

12. Golly, what kind of judge would try to stop the National Guard?
Just can’t think … maybe if I glance at the “judge” below right, it might give me a clue:

11. Golly, what kind of mayor would brush off an immolated girl?
Just can’t think … maybe if I glance at the mayor below, it might give me a clue:

… or in biblical terms … pride, the curse of Lucifer, also Eve, also Adam.
I’ve seen nonRCs dismiss the seven deadly sins, simply because they’re perceived as RC … there are also the seven virtues … I’m not RC and yet I can’t see what’s wrong with the list … and the worst is pride (ego).
There’s obviously pride in one’s work, in achievement, in helping another person … all good … but when we see it taken to extremes, e.g. in Rachel from Accounts or in any WEFer, it’s offputting. Nor do we want to see a wet blanket beta, always bemoaning … the latter is particularly bad in an adult male.
Male pride of course is an eternal known-known and one reason it’s easier dealing with good women but when a woman goes all Dunning-Kruger, it’s quite sickening. Sometimes it’s more subtle in the early stages, but not in the final, as in Tatiana E-M:

Her early music, with Avalon Jazz Band, with more than one female, was good, e.g. Sunshine, though she was still the star, no one begrudged her that. Gradually the other females disappeared but her “loveliness” still carried the day.
Trouble was, the flattery, mixed with genuine praise, went to her head and now she’s dropped all pretense … one of the things which had been appealing … her slight demureness even in the bubbliness … now it’s become oh look how wonderful I am, surrounded by men arranged in such a way that they’re satellites behind her, adoring her.
At this point, I said goodbye. Nothing wrong with her fantasy, in itself, of being in the company of men … the converse also applies with us boys … the issue though is the word “adoring” … I for one would not want that as it’s embarrassing, uncomfortable, shallow. T.E-M seems not to know how to go about it.
