Tuesday [11 to 15]

(0947) Deliveries, cooking for a few days, lunch, just finished, cream-crackered. I need to complete Tue 11. (1201)

15. Places of worship


14. Govt smuggling

11. Saw this on Quora just now

… from a lady called Colleen Wysocki:

“My mom is now 65 years old and she is a covert narcissist. One night I was in her house and I heard her crying in her room, I went to see what was happening, why she was crying. Then she started to tell me how she wasted her whole life. And she said she never should’ve married my dad and her life would’ve been so much better if she hadn’t.

My parents got married when my mom was 22 years old, and back then she hadn’t a family, she had no education and no money, nothing at all. My dad worked so hard and he became a teacher, made a good life and always treated her well. He never hit her and never cheated and he never even drank.

With all of that she was miserable, and of course in her opinion, it’s always someone’s fault. Now she sits in her room every night drinking and feeling sorry for herself. She tells herself that she is special and that she could’ve gone far in her life if my dad hadn’t ruined everything.”

Classic hypergamy. Also, daughters often enough support one or the other. How to get across to someone like that mother that she’d caused him to give up hope? Of course, it could have been the other way with the next family … sort of a Ryan Giggs maybe.

There’s an ego factor, a dumbness factor too. Dumb and greedy is not a good mix.

I sometimes look back and wonder … could I have visited more countries? Could I have done this or that? What fraction good to bad? I’d say 5/8 good, 2/8 my own bad choices, 1/8 diabolical luck but 2 of the first 5/8 maybe the Guardian Angel.

Tuesday [6 to 10]

(0705) Morning those awake … dawn saw silhouetted cumulo-nimbus outside, pink dawn from the south-east, now become the bleah 8/8 poisoned cloud cover. Have a wunnerful day, all. (0726)

 

10. Moo corner

… not quite a tram but who’s arguing?


9. What did ladies do back in the day?


8. This is from a Reform voter

… not sure about Bob though:


7. One from downunder

… obviously we do not know the names down there but we can certainly get the general idea … there’s a uniformity across the west:


6. Another couple of Steve type items

Newish site for me:

Take your pick there.

Tuesday [1 to 5]

(0447) Greetings readers. Steve is taking some well-earned and much needed time off, we all need R&R, he also has RL things which have happened and need attending to, as I must this Thursday. Unherdables must go on at this crucial point … in fact it’s hotting up and this early morning slot seems important for many readers. Cunning plan here is to use many of Steve’s sources and I’ll do a skeleton report for now each day … today’s later.

 

5. Archbish Vigano interesting piece


4. This would have been Steve’s slot at 1380

… I’ll have a look at some of his sources … first Gateway P:


Cunning plan is not to do the immense amount Steve covers all at once but to spread it over the day, except this Thursday.

3. Just have a quick look at today’s Lord Toby newsletter


While there are certainly the regular features in red, the expanded first item below shows an interesting author. There are two Bells of note to us for those with memories, brothers I believe, and one was the Hillsborough and later Common Purpose honcho. Yet here he is, invited to write to dissident Britain … interesting, huh?

2. DAD at 1380

a) Matthéo, 9 years old, a footballer from Auchy-les-Mines (62), was knocked to the ground and kicked repeatedly in the torso and head by five young players from Creil (60)…. (JH: General post later on such things)

b) LFI (La France Insoumise) hit by a cyberattack: 120,000 activist data exposed. [Melenchon’s lot.]

c) France. Former minister Caroline Cayeux convicted of tax fraud: she had understated her assets by 11.7 million euros and committed wealth tax fraud….

d) Eurovision 2026: Croatian group Lelek shocks Turkey with tattoos of Christian resistance against Ottoman slavery. (JH: Another general post later.)…

1. Ada Lluch is one of the “Ban-ees”

… her native Spain has our probs cranked up even further:

Monday [11 till close of play]

(1519) Afternoon all. Have run the TPUSA thing on X. Was going to cover the Restore infighting (which I was part of) but it’s sorted … kudos Charlie Downes.

 

23. Eva

22. Amelia, bless her

21. DAD on that speech at 1380

Starmer’s hail mary “reset” speech this morning was around 65% reheated from the Labour conference address he delivered eight months ago in Liverpool.

A line-by-line analysis shows the same family anecdotes (albeit without the signature “toolmaker” refrain) , the same attack lines on Farage, the same education policy, and large chunks of the same phrasing. As if it wasn’t torturous enough the first time…

19. Is Cyprus Greek?


18. Then they came for ….


17. Anxiety producing medical “community”


16. Think they know where they can stick it


15. Spawn of satan


14. Worth a try


13. Antihuman abuse in the Ukraine


12. Long way either way

… I’ve actually done the Melb to Darwin and return by car.


11. Two Tier foot in mouth

… the gift that keeps on giving.

Ole Chopper bangs the ivories

 

If I introduced this with less than awe and reference, well … Chopin never quite did it for me as a kid, nor did the pianoforte … and now may well be too late with the slow impairment of hearing, along with the mild tinnitus. However, hope springs eternal, so let’s try it again.

As for the version, the issue with live performances is quality, idiosyncratic playing … whereas these old vinyls tended to be to a high enough standard, if not sublime …

b. “Presidential Unsealing and Reporting Systems For UAP Encounters (Pursue)”

“In response to President Donald J. Trump’s directive for transparency on U.S. government information regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the Department of War (DOW), with support from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is overseeing government wide efforts to expeditiously find, review, identify, declassify and publicly release unresolved UAP-related records and historical documents in the federal government’s possession. This is an unprecedented, historic undertaking that requires coordination between dozens of agencies and the review of tens of millions of records, many existing only on paper, spanning many decades. Given the scope of this task, the Department of War will be releasing new materials on a rolling basis as they are discovered and declassified, with tranches posted every few weeks.…”

Coffees

 

Now, dearest readers, this below is formulaic, it opens with the word “shocking” or similar, the narrative might be high noise AI data plant, who knows … it’s everything I can’t stand in youtubes but … and it’s a big butt … the topic and treatment do have merit, I suspected this, so did fellow coffee drinkers.

I’ve gone back to perc coffee, slow infuse … but still the taste is not right. What the hell have they inserted, surreptitiously?
