Lots of IPCC reports on the predicted impact of the Paris Agreement on global ghg emissions. Alongside COVID-19's very real impact on global ghg emissions. In case you were wondering.

So I may as well chuck it in here; Britain is of the opinion that I failed out of university. As I couldn't cope with statistical analysis. I'm of the opinion that I quit university.

It's actually why; "The Bell Curve" is such a useful resource for High School debates. Although I digress. I seem to remember the quote from a lecturer, to the hall.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/09/oh-dear_24.html The UK Royal Navy used to punish misdemeanours through lashing. Beating with a device know as a; "Cat O'Nine Tails." Similar in intent to an African Sjambok. In response sailors started getting tattoos on their backs. Of either a Christian cross or an image of Christ. The thinking being that it would be sacrilegious to strike such an image. So the Navy introduced a new rule; Anyone with such an image would recieve extra lashes. At the 1998 World Cup David Beckham was sent off. For petulantly kicking out at another player. Causing England to be knocked out of the tournament. As a result he was not particularly popular. So he got a tattoo of Christ on the Cross tattooed on his back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_JSXaIn5xQ (Beat Me Senseless, Circle Jerks, Offical {Kung Fu}Audio). Seriously.

I sort of zoned out of the detail of that somewhere during the first lockdown. I felt that rather than clapping for carers we should be punching the greed monsters full in the face.

Sunday (20/9/20) saw the Emmy Awards in America. Which seemed like a fantastic opportunity to celebrate. All the US TV Shows I've been watching. Nominations be damned. Including a HBO show called; "Betty." It's about four teenage women brought together by a mutal love of skatebording. One of whom is blatantly Rihanna. Apparently she once dated this British guy. Who she desperately wanted to strangle. Those insults aside. It does provide something of a talking point about inclusivity and opportunity within the industry. It must be said that it's really not up to the standard of premium cable. Not yet fully formed even it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. For example does it want to be a show about skateboarding. It certainly has a genuine love for the sport. Attracting Tony Hawk. Simply to make a joke at his expense. Or does it want to be a show about young women and their relationships. In the style of "Girls." Does it just want to provoke a...

Of watching, whilst a bit drunk, Juno Temple in Kaboom; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaboom_(film) Then waking up, hungover, to find myself watching Junk Temple in St Trinian's 2; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Trinian%27s_2:_The_Legend_of_Fritton%27s_Gold Which is every bit as wrong as it sounds. https://youtube.com/watch?v=E3mAT-4FdP4 (September Song, Long Version Walter Huston, Audio, Kate Harpham). A great loss. I'm sure. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54234822

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54241580 Euphoria takes great pleasure of being very provocative. Aggressive, pushy & in-your-face. It obviously features lots of drug use. Along with graphic teenage sex scenes. Including some quite violent sex scenes between middle-aged men & Trans teenagers. It is so proud of itself in the screen credits it includes a US code Title 18, Section 2257 certificate. Declaring it free of child pornography. As if we would believe they were really teenagers, let alone really having sex. It is a remake of an Israeli TV show. Apparently they had to tone it all the way down for the Jews who run Hollywood. In contrast the movie Disobedience is set among a small section of a North London, UK Jewish community. Including some Zionists. Who get very upset when you start slipping references to Tel Aviv bus timetables in to discussions. I also seem to remember something about Rue being born on, or just after 9/11.

"So we can simply ignore it." https://www.npr.org/2020/09/18/100306972/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-champion-of-gender-equality-dies-at-87 Which is, sadly, the more frequent quote from the Ruth Bader-Ginsburg school of law. It's the Legislative/Parliamentary Supremacy issue. From Britain's Brexity Burning of the Reichstag. Does anyone remember when Supreme Court picks were discussed in terms of the legal doctrines of "Originalism/Textualism." Versus "Liberalism/Living Constitution." Rather than weird personality cults. Which is why I was aiming for Westchester. Better show tunes. https://youtube.com/watch?v=TUsM8RgbMyE (High Flying Adored 1979 OCR, Patti LuPone, Audio, Topic).

Although I did manage to catch the blink-and-you'll-miss-it portrayal of Ruth Bader-Ginsburg. Even if I've probably not been giving it the respect it deserves. Also I wouldn't base my understanding of the US women's rights movement entirely on that TV drama. However it's hard to ignore that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) never became law. It timed out before it was ratified. Yet that didn't stop all those extremely talented women coming together to make this very high quality show. Which rather proves the point of the opponents of the ERA. It was a completely unnecessary piece of legislative overreach. I just hope they're ready for the pitchforks & flaming torches Black Lives Matter will now be sending their way. Two Aussies in a Canadian location though. Apparently that's enough for Man Utd to claim all the points.

Did no-one tell them. In the right hand the pen is far mightier than any chemical agent. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/19/politics/package-poison-ricin-addressed-to-trump-intercepted/index.html And continuing the theme of; "In espionage there are few things you can say which sound too crazy." I'm pretty sure Britain is convinced Israel is paying Ultra-Orthodox men to act as sort of prayer batteries. To manipulate the quantum field. Their corkscrew minds can dream that up. Yet still can't grasp the concept of; "Payment." https://imdb.com/title/tt0955082/

https://youtube.com/watch?v=HEVonh8bjC0 (DISOBEDIENCE|Official Trailer, Bleecker Street). I was right though. It's a much better movie. Once you know you're not going to be ambushed by yet another really graphic sex scene. I would describe it as; "Young & Stroppy." Rather than the usual Anti-Semitism you expect from that particular source. Honestly. I'm just grateful I didn't have to watch it with my mothers. Let alone a brace of mothers-in-law. As far as I'm concerned. They're still shielding. Red Cross food parcels and all. * Well, not the mothers-in-law. They can take their chances. *Seriously though. They add to them vegetables from their allotment. Then pass them on to one of the, so many, Protestant alms houses.

Michael Wetherly first rose to prominance in NCIS. His character ended up having a child with the Ziva David character. The Ziva David character seems heavily inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Specifically the Evil Willow character. Who wanted to re-raise the {Satanic} Temple. Where the Temple used to stand. Eliza Dushku first rose to prominance in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/eliza-dushku-bull-sexual-harassment-settlement-cbs-1203093433/ A can of worms.

I thought it was the only reason anyone was watching. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_(season_7) Well that and the curiosity of shows that were in production on 9/11. Particularly in this Covid-era. Not that I was convinced by the Ziva David character. The evil force, born of grief.

Is why Ballroom Dancing isn't a Summer Olympic sport. After all the Winter Olympics have Figure Skating. And are the richer for it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54188629 Plus if it were a sport rather than an entertainment show it would give more legitimate grounds to object. It's a bit like saying that two women dancing doesn't reflect most relationships. So now she's got to fight Anthony Joshua.

Even she seemed embarrassed to be involved. https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/13/last-night-of-the-proms-reworking-of-jerusalem-sparks-major-backlash-13264562/ But, then earlier in the evening they'd forced her to sing Sondheim. They finished with a more traditional arrangement. Proving that may well be a Protestant obscenity. But it's certainly more Joseph Rowntree than Cecil Rhodes. In fact I would liken it to Sufi interpretations of Jihad. But mainly because I want to see Tommy Robinson's head explode.

In recent weeks Britain has been vaguely aware of a row over the Last Night of the Proms concert. Specifically whether the lyrics to Rule Britannia! should be sung. Or whether the notion that people never shall be slaves is offensive to the Black Lives Matter movement. This entire argument completely fails to understand the Last Night of the Proms and its use of Rule Britannia! For starters the Last Night of the Proms isn't really part of the Proms festival. Instead it is the drunken party at the end of the Proms festival. Thrown and attended by the highly intelligent and creative people who've been working hard putting on a series of concerts over the past eight weeks. Furthermore Rule Britannia! is not actually played at the Last Night of the Proms. Instead elements of it are used as part of a much larger medley of songs. Known as the Hornpipe Medley. This has its roots in Sea Shanties/Work Songs. Where the tempo of the song sets the pace for a collective task that must be c...

Lebanon was at before Macron helped bring down its existing government. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53965750 Also. Interesting bit of trivia. When Lebanon became independent from France they removed all the colonial era street names. Then didn't replace them with anything. Meaning that basically no-one in Lebanon has an address.
