Friday [4 to 10]

(0842) Bleah out there, poisoned, wall-to-wall cloud now billowing in. (0910)

 

10. This could have been anywhere

… it happened to be Nebraska below but there was another from the Brit east coast, one from Oz and others too, inc. ours outside on that warm, sunny day we had two days ago … up went the planes, laying trails again.

The difference now is they’re not just spraying from above but also firing from the ground … there is a truly psycho agenda being pushed now, with a sense of urgency.


9. Moo corner

… just lurve the names …


8. Florida


7. Georgia, USA

They had moved the polling station in that notorious county into a mosque…


6. Canadian horror


5. DAD at 1348 this morning

a) France’s Fuel Shortages expose Europe’s new energy crisis. Three years after reducing its dependence on Russian gas, Europe is still heavily dependent on imported oil and on strategic routes. The supplier may have changed. The dependence has not.

b) France: Sabotage Incidents, attacking Arms Industry, on the rise. Under cover of darkness on the night of April 6–7, a series of coordinated arson attacks struck multiple sites connected to the arms industry in France’s Cher department, raising concerns about targeted sabotage and the security of critical infrastructure….

c) The megalithic site of Wéris, (Belgique) listed as a heritage site of the Walloon Region and located in the municipality of Durbuy, suffered significant damage this weekend….

d) In Devon two locals find two men fly tipping. They call them “dirty, horrible, stinking c***s.. This is our f-ing country, you might be used to it back to where you come from.

4. Valerie Anne doubles down on food

… this is mainly the US but also Oz, maybe implications for the UK:

Friday [1 to 3]

(0706) Not altogether sure the best way to proceed this morning. Seems there’s nothing at OoL, we have Steve and DAD, Microdave, there is also some westwide news I’d best get posted earlier rather than later, certain other sources seem to have gone quiet … shall go with what we have. (0842)

1. Some sort of op ed

Opening with this because it came first, chronologically. Last early evening, I wrote to a friend that I’d fairly much lost interest in major league sports, whereas once I’d been right into them. My stepfather (good man) decades ago had done similar and I’d never understood why at the time … I do now.

It’s not just the utter corruption at the top, the money-grubbing by all or even the intrusion of leftwing tropes in sport … though all those certainly count … it was more that … well there were other things going on. Anyway, no sooner had a reply come about interest in major sport than this appeared in my YT recommended list:


All right, that was amusing but then, straight after came this:


Flicked through, usual points, types, then started thinking about the other side … men whom women should avoid at all costs.

Ahh, not so prolific on YT, that one, very few videos … there was one done by a young man … usual types again … shapeshifters who are one thing today, another tomorrow, the mummy’s boy, the violent, the insincere sweet talker … yes, fine, then this appeared in comments:

Not sure what a flamer’s meant to be … someone stirring things up? A troll? Maybe gay?

What was starting to come through with all these sorts of videos was that no nuances are covered … it’s 5 types of this, 10 types of that … and viewers pick up on a negative which they immediately apply to the person their dealing with in RL, on the say-so of someone making money on YT.

I’d suggest that if your personal life is ruled by what you find in a YT video, with its own agenda … that’s a bit sad and even incomplete. For sure there are the usual red flags to watch out for … look at our own watch lists here … just now, everyone’s looking at Donny’s behaviour, the pressures on him and so on.

Anyway … food for thought.

Thur Mat

 

“Husbands can get lost so easily,” someone tells Jeanne Crain’s character in the 1953 Fox thriller “Dangerous Crossing,” and boy, do those words ever prove prophetic!

Here, Crain plays Ruth Stanton, a wealthy heiress who departs on a honeymoon cruise after a whirlwind courtship. When her husband (Carl Betz, who most baby boomers will recognize as Dr. Alex Stone from the old “Donna Reed Show”) disappears from the ship before they even leave the NYC harbor, Ruth becomes distraught…especially since no one on board, including the ship’s doctor (sympathetically played by Michael Rennie), will believe the story that her husband ever existed!

What follows is a tale of escalating suspense and paranoia, with no one on the ship seemingly worthy of Ruth’s–or our–complete trust. While not precisely a film noir, “Dangerous Crossing” certainly does have its noirish aspects, and the scene in which Ruth searches the boat for her husband at night, in a dense mist, the only background sound being the intermittent blare of the ship’s foghorn, is one that all fans of the genre should just love.

Jeanne, very much the star of this film and appearing in virtually every scene, looks absolutely gorgeous, of course (the woman had one of the most beautiful faces in screen history, sez me), and her thesping here is top notch. She is given any number of stunning close-ups by veteran cinematographer Joseph Lashelle, who years before had lensed that classiest of film noirs, 1944’s “Laura.”

In one of the DVD’s surprisingly copious collection of extras, it is revealed that the picture took only 19 days to produce, at a cost of only $500,000; a remarkably efficient production, resulting in a 75-minute film with no excess flab and a sure-handed way of delivering shudders and suspense. Very much recommended.

Thursday [16 to 20]

(1322) Afternoon all. (1415)

 

20. Back to the horror

… at least not in power … yet…


19. Moo corner

… a welcome break with a sane woman:


18. Here’s another


17. Here’s another one


Yet again … childlike female lefty promoted to high office. Why? How?

16. Salazar

One of the biggest scandals breaking across the pond … the sshots cover it but they don’t emphasise the timing.


Not strictly about Salazar, more about Thune and Co, but principle is the same:

More:


All right … are you ready?


All right … check the date and time, keep it in mind. For those still not up to speed, she and a dozen other Republicans suddenly launched this bill for full amnesty and open borders … Biden again … after securing his endorsement and at the point they expected the US to be at war in Iran on the ground.

Does the word treason enter your mind at all with regard to this? And who is she? A Cuban refugee given citizenship.

Split screen harmonies

 

Apologies to DAD first for this soprano. There are a few reasons.

Firstly, she’s good at these split screen harmonies … not sure though about the Ms Grumpy character she’s introduced, others commented on that.

As for her, herself, she herself described how males saw her … 30, going on 14. It’s actually one reason I avoid her. See, she’s actually 32 till November but her frame is like my ex’s … the eternally youthful, like her mother. Which does raise questions, in Anne Reburn’s case … unmarried, string of boyfriends of the spivvy type, want one thing only from her, always leading to histrionics.

Just like Kylie Monogue was … fishing in the wrong pond … a bit Groucho Marx … anyone wanting her should not get her. I do know the danger, I do feel sorry for her … always the wrong type BSing her. And left-liberal … even worse pool of males available.

But even if she did fish in another pond, gets a fine chap … there is always that lingering question as to why her. That’s the curse of the type. Back to the music … yes, she’s good. Nothing much more to add.

Deliberately spilling spillways under duress

 

There are two issues in this post … first, of course, the engineering itself … and this Texas panhandle man’s engineering and presentation is pretty good, despite occasional music drowning it out … he does know his stuff, does do his homework.

I find myself in a bit of a quandary though … the second issue is him, himself, our Grady. What’s wrong with him? Nothing. Nothing’s wrong.

However.

In previewing so many films and episodes and documentary shorts, there are occasionally decisions which must not be named, hush hush. An example was The History Guy with his bowtie (no, not Martin) and the unfortunate voice and accent … point is, no one attacked him, no one suggested anything wrong … seemed a nice guy … worked hard on his presentation. Like Grady in this one.

And yet … and yet … people did not … sigh … warm to him so much. I’m thinking we’re unfair to people. In my own case, the mongrel accent, the “overweening arrogance in manner”, the “going to give this one a pass” … it may even be how the guy looks in my and other cases. I do understand it. Feminazis, for example, can’t stand me, a toxic male. Nor can middle management types on the way up. I’m not worshipful enough.

With Grady, he’s not (cough) a presenter type … actually, he’s an engineer. And for Brits, that panhandle, high voice. Many people I think see this and feel a wave of sympathy for an honest toiler. He’d not be able to get away with the dlightest creepiness and thankfully, that’s not the issue.

DAD mentioned not being crazy for soprano women’s voices … I can half see that … after a few minutes, it can get wearing. In my own case, it’s the flatness in the voice which puts people to sleep … comes through in the prose if I’m not careful.

I’m not totally sure with Grady, it’s not if you like or don’t like … I’m thinking it’s more “can you warm to a series from him”? Jago’s starting to annoy, Ruairidh ditto. Lefty wimmin? Goes without saying. Tulsi? A bit too deeply masculine for mine.

And so on. In the normal run of life, it hardly matters perhaps but in a presentation … ah. Yes.

Thursday [6 to 10]

(0815)(0829)

 

10. Your choice … take them or leave them


9. Moo corner

Quick word before starting … it makes more sense to me to run Moo at 9, 14 and 19, with 14 occasionally not used at all, depending on available Moo pics.


8. Steve on Orban and JDV

Liz Churchill: ““AMERICA STANDS WITH US. Thank you for your support, Mr. Vice President JD Vance!” -PM Orban Brussels tried to economically CRUSH Hungary for daring to elect Orban instead of an EU Treasonous Liar…and America just said HELL NO. The EU empire is OVER.”

JH: Naturally, there are terrible things in comments from the left, RINOs, plus those centrist people, apolitical, who put TDS first, political realities a long way back. In the Slavic east, the desired situation is a strong leader such as Bukele in El Salvador who still manages to create a largely peaceful society where once there was chaos.

TRUMP: “I love Hungary, and I love that Viktor Orbán — Remember this, he didn’t allow people to storm your country and invade your country like other people have.”

JH: Yes, the invaders are certainly the n2 problem today, after the n1 … those who enabled all this.

6. This is just a warning from some people in the US

… it might be different in the UK, might be the same, might even be different for those who already partly use two factor authentification.


In a “what if” situation, given that I shan’t comply any further than what I have already, what then? Well obviously using sources we already have, adjusted. Not sure it’s an immediate issue, yet be aware they do not like sites like this … they’re looking for backdoors. Do not rely in HQ always being here, which is why we have the other sites.
