(0958) Visitor in an hour or so, for some hours, have had to do most posting already, a bit more now, then a TV episode and film in the early afternoon, resuming later. That’s the cunning plan anyway. Am changing Sunday jazz … rather than the two Tuba Skinnies, I just happen to have the same old ditty by four different bands … so clearly it’s a classic from the period. (1500)

… but then I thought … read the fine print … it might be ok. Then again, Giorgia may well be weak.

4. DAD at 1092

a) Decisions have consequences. UK: MP who voted for assisted suicide denied communion. *

b) Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Horizons de Nice, (and others) taken into police custody in Marseille on Monday … (connected to Nice).

c) Kazakhstan bans face coverings in public places.

d) The “Barber By N” store, located in Villefranche-sur-Saône, has been subject to administrative closure since June 25.

e) Finland’s Supreme Court is preparing to hold an hearing in the high-profile free speech case of former Interior Minister and Christian Democrat MP….

f) The ECHR decision that confirmed police ‘discrimination’ for the first time in France brings the issue of ethnic statistics back to the forefront….

g) A solar panel park near Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport is posing a serious safety risk and disrupting air traffic, according to airport authorities.

3. *On DAD’s 4a

What communists or spawn of satan or WEF version at every time in history have always done is study deeply every civil and civic underpinning, institution in society with a view to crowbarring fissures into it, resentment, making it unworkable.

No one knows the bible better than this lot, no one knows the nation’s laws to the letter better than this lot I’ll call Them. In jocular form, WC Fields spoke of looking through the bible … for loopholes.

Whether the new bad Pope (immediately Catholics excommunicate me) and the Patriarch who met, dripping in gold plating and trappings (that’s the Orthodox now excommunicating me) or whether it’s Calvin treacherously inviting Savonarola in order to burn him to death (that’s any Calvinists excommunicating me in my depravity and original sin) and so it goes on and on …

… every single denomination or cult (that’s Jim Joneses or Mansonists) looking for me to kill, if other cults don’t get to me first … DAD’s 4a today was all about shaitan creating fissure, though Them do not state it to be such. Was the priest in order to refuse communion? If so, then what about Leviticus and other chapters on unnatural use of other humans? Should they not be refused to?

Same human failing as Lucy Connolly v Glastonbury … either hypocritical or cherry-pickingly inconsistent humans over-emphasising this verse and neglecting that. One anti-Christian cult at least raises that to an art form.

Should the human priest have refused communion? To my mind, it comes back to remorse=> atonement=> redemption. Was that MP remorseful or was he another whited sepulchre?

Hearts of Oak: The Week According To . . . Anni Cyrus

 

Embarrassment of riches again, though more suited to the winter and/or a dark night. Three films to run … which? One of them, Murder My Sweet, 1944, had Dick Powell as Phillip Marlowe … I had a look through … it was ok but the plot had been altered in key ways.

Had a look at the 1975 version, with Robert Mitchum and in a reversal of the usual pattern, this one seemed better. You can argue but I felt The Manchurian Candidate of 2004 was better than the 1962 with Sinatra. Rarely is the remake like that imho.

(1353) Unherdable cats … too fragmented for mine. (1353)

(1222) This is from Toodles, concerning AOC (1230)

Can’t expect Toods to know the iffy players, e.g. Glenn Beck, Hannity, Alex Jones, David Martin and over here … Dan Wooton, Alex Phillips and so on … this one narrating is Benny Johnson, prone to Michael Heaver style sensationalist journalism imho.

Is he wrong? On this … I’d say no, he’s correct, having seen this from various sources. Well what’s my issue then? Issue is the overly persuasive manner, the professional journo thing, rather than “just the facts, ma’am”. Never mind.

10. Moosh corner

… she’s in Amsterdam today, assures us not in the red light district 🙂

9. The sacred feminin?

8. IYE under “Sun till close of play”

… had an item on sophiology. For a Christian, it’s anathema, it’s the other side’s, the illumined’s “sacred feminin”, in the tradition of Lilit, different other beast to, say, Mary Magdalene.

7. Redacted

There are, in the sidebar, and esp. under last night’s last post, so many topics, so many memes as well I’ll keep dipping into. This was one:

6. More housekeeping

Systems issue … unlike our “beloved guests” pouring into the country, Redacted’s flooding of the comments thread poses a conundrum, in that they’re quality rantings, with useful links … I see this deep digging usefulness more in line with IYE’s style.

Issue is that, with “comments” not being set up in forum format, but as a nested-comments thread under each post … there’s no issue with that whatever in itself … just comment away.

The issue is in the sidebar widget, which displayed 12 comments till a few minutes ago, when I increased it to 15. I looked at changing site themes, e.g. to that of UHC-WP, which puts the comment count near the top of the post but some advantages of this current theme stayed my hand.

Hmmmmm. The dilemma is how to still get the Redacted input whilst not flooding the sidebar widget, driving everyone else’s comments into the ether?

There’s a way around it … by scrolling to the foot of the post and if you see a comments count there … click … plus that works for a fortnight, thank goodness, which means as long as anyone’s likely to be interested. Also, it’s a nicer, more contextual way to read and to add comments … it’s probably the least bad option just now.

The flooded sidebar is still useful … it just tells me to go to the other method of scrolling down the front page => older posts => scroll down again => rinse and repeat. None of it’s a core problem, plus we pick up great pointers along the way.
