Tuesday [6]

(0933) Was looking for polit-pieces on X and this came up below. Issue is … storage … rather than try that, thought it best just to play it. (0935)

Tuesday [1 to 5]

(0715) Morning all … just put up the main post of the day at Orphans and Jstack. Just becoming light out there at this moment, too early to report on. (0803) Wuite light, film of cloud wall to wall out there. (0804)

 

5. Have a look at their arms

The girls arms and hands are held a certain way, except for one hands in pockets … the males have them a different way:


Any major breakthrough here? Not really … just interesting to simple minds such as mine.

Fine in principle, Bettina … then come the divisions with … Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, cults inc. Jim Jones and rainbow cults, Paula White, consubstantistion v transsubstantiation, the Filioque clause … wars over that, St Bartholomew’s type massacres … are they Christian? The Frankish Crusaders, ankle deep in human blood?

a) France. Communist Network and Unions latch onto France’s School Revolt. A network of 50 organisations, including communist groups and labor unions, has transformed France’s school protests into an ideological campaign with international backing, according to a Fox News investigation.

b) France. Jean-Luc Mélenchon has moved to fold France’s violent student riots directly into his 2027 presidential campaign, amplifying calls for a ‘general mobilisation’ during a major rally on Sunday. With LFI figures already active around blockades and street unrest, the party is increasingly using the riots to advance its broader agenda of a Sixth Republic and a ‘New France’ built on immigrants.

c) UK. 20-year-old British free speech advocate and Restore Britain party operative Montgomery Toms was attacked by an angry mob during one of his public debates in Brighton, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday, 10 October. He uploaded multiple videos of the incident to his X feed. The footage shows him being swarmed by a mob of mostly young men who tore down his tent.

d) USA. he Amish of Central New York told the seditious Governor Kathy Hochul they would pack up, abandon their farms and leave if the Governor tried forcing vaccines on their children. The Governor fined them over $100,000 and demanded they comply anyway. When the Amish decided to fight back, taking the wicked Governor to court, Hochul’s minion Senator Fahy drew up even more legislation to pressure them to leave, attacking their children again, this time through an anti-homeschooling bill.

e) UK. The Restore Britain Party’s Paper on removing Illeg@l Immigr@nts.

Steve and the Raj onwards

(Cough) Yes, not going to admit how much of that I remember, don’t wish to mention my age but the chap mentioning straw palliasses brings back memories … duckboards too. Strict fathers, women dressed as ladies. The only downer to my mind was primitive dental care, plus ills like polio, measles, chicken pox, mumps. Malaria was a big one overseas, plus typhoid, dysentry.

As readers were threatened late yesterday

 

The music is Cajun zydeco, the dancing jitterbug, but at about 2:55 on for ten seconds or so, you can see the demonstrating instructors drop into some shimmying, which was yesterday’s topic.

Next Sunday’s jazz post (and it’s a bit of a blockbuster, songs already saved in the vault) is about the whole crossover with Gennet and Vocalion in the 1920 to 30 period, including the race divide and the move from ragtime to boogie woogie and flappers and then onto brass and woodwind. Though next Sunday is primarily piano, it is also a mix of all those genres.

In short, it’s the history of modern music encapsulated in four songs, ranging from 1923 to 1976. I became lost in it last evening. So here’s the first of the zydeco:

The things which struck me about this below were why old men have to look so grumpy much of the time and act in such a curmudgeonly manner? He’s a nice guy looking after his band as you’ll see and yet the two women at the far end seem to be shoved out of the way, while bags of space seem to surround the old man. Hope I never get old, ha ha.

The music? Very danceable, the whole intention … but that’s about it … not a lot of variation.

Back to the shimmying and there were two types … the shoulder shimmying favoured by the westerners as more discreet … and the hip shimmying favoured by the non westerners, inc. the Asians, plus Elvis … better known as belly dancing in the case of the girls.

No excuse now, boys … up on yer feet, come on y’all, weight off yer heels and onto your insteps … ready? 😎
