Well, That's Nice.

But not's going to change the fact. https://us.cnn.com/videos/business/2021/02/28/snl-fauci-vaccine-orig.cnn They're socially distanced 'till Wednesday.

So, Who's Been Watching The Old; "Marcella."

 Because if I don't sort myself out soon. I swear I'll be fast resembling that; "Jack Healy" character. A smaller, fatter more bespectacled version of the Jack Healy character.

Mission Accomplished!

Which May Be Amongst The Reasons.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/go-annoy-your-mother.html https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/ive-recovered-bit-now.html There seems to be a long parade of Fathers. Of 12/13* year old daughters. All queuing up. To punch me straight in the face.

Go Annoy Your Mother.

For all the things on this Earth. Turns out. I just really miss my pal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUpuwdfRW9s (Sam Hall, Johnny Cash, Official Audio). Seriously though.  1992?!? Back in '92 I was having bigger children than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr3ybKC44XQ (Lloyds Bank - Epic Journey Advert, Video, Lloyds Bank).

I Don't Know What You've Planned For The Evening.

But I'll be slapping down the last of the Original Stella's. https://www.kamcity.com/namnews/products-promotions/budweiser-brewing-group-reduces-strength-of-stella-artois/ Well. I say; "Original." I remember when it was 5.2%. I hope this Budget nonsense isn't going to drive us further into the arms of those dodgy Eastern Europeans. As ever Tenant will testify; When it comes to lager. Anything over 8% is a special sort of drunk. A punch a police horse in the face sort of drunk.

I've Recovered A Bit Now.

So let's go again. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/never-bring-your-wife-to-work.html https://youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Agk5GiYQo (Take Me Home To Mayo, Dublin City Ramblers, Jail, Audio, Topic). Or. As modern Israel like to think of it; "#Lightweights." https://www.history.com/news/how-the-nazis-were-inspired-by-jim-crow https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZlCLSoDICUU (I'll Tell Me Ma, The Dubliners, Live, Official Audio).

True Story.

The actual Miley Cyrus has legitimately been 'round my house. Apparently no-one was in. So she wandered the gardens awhile. Now, obviously. That's not an urge I wish to suppress. Nor do I want to cast aspirations. On the quality of the local Neighbourhood Watch. However I've reached a conclusion. Our relationship is only going to work. If I'm allowed to make frequent, liberal use of the phrase; " I'm busy. Go annoy your girlfriend." If only we could have a way for her to find a key.

I Guess We're All Melania Now.

So I Think We're All In Agreement.

It's time for the Eritrean forces to be leaving now. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/10/404970/World/Africa/US-calls-on-African-Union-to-exert-pressure-over-w.aspx Not that I'm confirming that Eritrean forces were ever there.

Emboldened By The Air Support.

http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/404941/World/Region/Attackers-strike-gas-pipeline-in-eastern-Syria,-ca.aspx

It's Always Been A Big Problem For Him.

Voters. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/9/404900/World/International/Biden-says-US-will-never-accept-aggressive-Russias.aspx

Which All Seems Rather Premature.

What with reality only starting to knock on the door. Let alone settle in. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/404988/World/Region/Libya-parliament-speaker-flags--March-for-governme.aspx

If One Was Caught By A Policeman.

 https://www.rt.com/russia/516751-unicorn-children-jewelry-robbery/ Who then went on to have an affair with a local Doctor. Whose husband and son were fleeing to Russia. To escape the impending meteor impact. Then I'd say the German TV show "8 Days" has caught people's attention.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6374028/ I particularly liked the initial predicted impact point being La Rochelle in France. As a nod to the German TV show; "The Boat."

Don't Forget The Road.

Erdogan's deeply moral support for his Azeri Muslim brothers. Has also conveniently given Turkish exporters access to Black Sea ports.  https://www.rt.com/russia/516688-aliyev-pashinyan-country-ruin/

Today is a New Day.

February 28th 2021 (28/2/21). And I've clearly got so much I need to catch up on.

Actually I Can't Track Any Of Them Today.

I've already slept for like five hours.

Never Bring Your Wife To Work.

And certainly never sell your daughter to the circus. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/protest-nbc-studios-saturday-night-live-michael-che-anti-semitic-joke But, hey, we survived. So now let's....

Grew Up To Become A Police Officer.

Allegedly. https://swatcbs.fandom.com/wiki/The_Tiffany_Experience Which might just be a fantasy. But it's the sort of fantasy I can live with. In fact that might be why my marriage failed. Understaffing.

I Can't Track Them All.

But like Lady Gaga's first world problems. That sounds awfully close to a criminal enterprise. https://us.cnn.com/2021/02/27/africa/students-released-nigeria-intl/index.html The moral of the story seems pretty clear; Check you've actually got a President. Before trying to introduce them to the country, let alone the World. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/26/politics/biden-texas-visit/index.html

Biden Strikes Iran.

Iran strikes Israel. https://www.rt.com/news/516782-israel-accuses-iran-gulf-blast/ It's not going down as the smartest week in all of human history.

You Remember How I Was Saying.

That I don't put much stock in the labels people get stuck on them. Well. My White, Exeter graduate brother. Along with his Indian born, nominally Muslim common-law wife. They're buying a home together. There's a lot money in accountancy, apparently. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-56221697 So a small, pale imitation of the life Britain's been protecting me from all these years. Now, if anyone needs me I'll be jumping on Facebook. To reconnect with all my exes. To find out if they're still feeling secure in their life choices. Yeah. Clearly Britain needs a liquidate the people who got them into this mess. Just as it needs to settle it's debts to me. Not exactly brain surgery is it.

It'd Be A Strange First Date.

Constantly talking about her ex. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56218620 Although.  The exhibition America's been making of trying to squeeze information out. Suggests neither party is particularly upset the relationship is over. Plus if no-one's going to attack Rihanna for that. Then they're not going to attack her for discreetly associating with me. Britain's inability to grasp reality, let alone behave. That's as constant as it is irrelevant. Although. Does it really count as a first date? When you're just talking about who you've been with since your marriage broke down. My list includes Miley Cyrus. It didn't work out. She kept talking about this girl she grew up with. Montana something-or-other. I thought the nod was implied. As with old country issues. I'll not saying I can help. It's just really frustrating not being able to try. Particularly as this is something the Yanks were supposedly desperate to get their hands on.

Today is a New Day.

February 27th 2021 (27/2/21). So much to do. So much sleep to catch up on.

Well, You All Know What I've Been Streaming.

Not to mention updating. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-final-edition.html

Yeah. I've No Idea Who These People Are.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bella-thorne-disney-image-breaking-free But clearly we must have a Paralympics soon. So we can talk about *that* episode of; "Speechless." All the Special Needs Moms gather for an Oscars party. All the Special Needs kids want to join in with a movie quiz. Forcing the; "Kenneth" character to handicap the quiz. To give all competitors a fair chance. Then the Special Needs teenagers decide they want to fight about the results of the quiz. Forcing Kenneth to then handicap the battle. Plus it has Minnie Driver.  With full permission, to just absolutely go for it.

I May As Well Follow Her Now.

After congratulating Liam Hemsworth. On finally getting a word in edgeways.

Yeah. Totally Inspired By MERS.

Innit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condor_(TV_series) But look who she grew up to be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_O%27Neil Although, let's be honest. Arab-Israeli nymphomanic. In Kurdish pattern. Clearly, you have my full attention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leem_Lubany

So, Out Of Interest.

He's not the one the old Christians In Action were grooming to take over. Now is he. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/26/politics/biden-administration-khashoggi-report/index.html And, much more importantly. How much are US Courts going to award Saudi Arabia? For rescuing her from that. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/20/925909106/jamal-khashoggis-fiancee-sues-saudi-crown-prince-over-journalist-s-killing

Super Bowl LV: Final Edition.

Now with added English. In it's full 47 page, 13,000 word glory. Part 1; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt1.html Part 2; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt2_26.html Part 3; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt3_26.html  Along with a bandwith draining playlist. Which is basically just my brain on shuffle; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY4Ij8ql2kE (Good Ol' Boys, Waylon Jennings, Music Man, Official Audio). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk8Cx6XNuBc (Home Boy Home, The Dubliners, Live, Official Audio). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ejbSCjg2qo (Chorus of the Captains, Amanda Gorman, Video, NowThis News). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYFwYqbXJmE (Imagine, Various Artists, PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony, Video, Cuesome TV). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTrYd6o-OR8&t=3s (America The Beautiful, H.E.R, Super Bowl LV, Video, NFL). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWvdf_51Iq0 (The Fighting ...

We Can Only Hope That's True.

She certainly sounds like more than any one person can handle.  https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/miley-cyrus-says-she-thinks-women-are-way-hotter-than-men/ I don't know what your nightmares are made up of. Most of mine involve Miley Cyrus just randomly turning up at my house. Like some sort of telemarketer from hell. Not that I'd have any trouble spending her money instead.

Yeah. Britain Often Forgets To Mention.

When it's celebrating how its successful vaccination program. Is allowing it to lift its Lockdown restrictions so much faster than the EU. That the EU hasn't had to go into Lockdown. https://www.rt.com/news/516603-paris-mayor-new-lockdown/

And When Does The Salmond Show Start?

Those airstrikes certainly don't give the impression of a Supreme Court making a ruling guided by law. https://www.rt.com/uk/516648-shamima-begum-return-uk-supreme-court/ Particularly as we're all well aware of Britain's leading role in obstructing CJTFOIR's ability to process those prisoners. Along with its leading role in upholding the continuing libel against the American electorate.

Well, I Heard.

Something shut it down a couple of days ago. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/europe/2021-02/26/c_139768849.htm #OnlyFans.

So How Dangerous Is Biden?

Well. Saudi Arabia is now considered a moderating force and bastion for human rights. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/northamerica/2021-02/26/c_139769010.htm

Today is a New Day.

February 26th 2021 (26/2/21). And it seems as though Britain's about to explode.  From its own sense of self-excitement.

Be Very Careful.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-56194624 Given the time of year. https://jpost.com/israel-news/woman-hospitalized-after-israel-post-delivers-letter-in-under-a-month-660116j https://jpost.com/israel-news/israeli-presidents-residence-all-dressed-up-for-purim-660122

Clear Enough?

Or does Britain further translation. A pen, perhaps. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-56188745

Speaking As A Dog Walker.

Allow me to be the first to say;  "Meh." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56196226 Now is America planning to make an exhibition of itself for much longer? Or just get on with it.

"It's Complicated."

Seems the height of understatement when talking about an international dispute that has lasted for at least a quarter of a century. https://www.rt.com/russia/516528-armenia-pashinyan-military-coup/ However Azerbaijan's position has long been that the NKR is part of their country. They have a, perhaps rushed, international treaty giving legal force to that claim. Due to their oil wealth Azerbaijan has a vastly superior military. So the challenge has always been coming up with reasons to stop Azerbaijan from just re-taking NKR. A responsibility that has long fallen exclusively to Russia. Recently Turkey has been using that responsibility to exert pressure on Russia over Syria. Winding the Azeris up and urging them on. Legally backing and overwhelming force sounds similar to my position in dispute with Britain. So during Brexit patience just seems to have run out. I don't think either the Armenian government or the Armenian military had much of a say in the matter.

Today is a New Day.

February 25th 2021 (25/2/21). I should quickly point out. Whatever problems I had with Rihanna ended about 7-8 years ago. One of the main issues was that she needed to do something with her life. Rather than sitting around smoking weed all day. Particularly through things like Fenty Beauty she certainly seems to have taken that on board. So I'm not attacking her. I'm just frustrated at the situation which means I can't spend more time hanging out with her. As everyone else seems to be attacking her.  After all I've had a lot of practice at that. Making myself invisible within relationships.

Hardly A Surprise.

https://us.cnn.com/2021/02/23/us/daniel-prude-rochester-police-grand-jury/index.html It was only ever intended as example is how corrupt Democrats have been completely ignoring science. Spithoods cause suffocation but much denser masks don't. He actually died of a PCP overdose. Which, legally speaking, means he wasn't actually suffering a mental health crisis. Not that those fine distinctions matter much in the moment.

There's A Twist.

My legs really hurt today. https://us.cnn.com/2021/02/24/us/tiger-woods-car-accident-wednesday-intl-spt/index.html Despite easing back at the gym. That long break over Christmas seems to have had an effect. Fortunately it's not a huge leap from there to a lockdown metaphor. Particularly as the three hours I spent just laying down. They didn't exactly help my productivity.

His Debit Card Covered It.

Apparently. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/24/entertainment/bruce-springsteen-charges-plead/index.html Britain must know it's got no time to waste in burying the dead.

Or They Regret Getting Caught.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-56185956

It's Certainly A Concern.

The apparent coordination between Islamist terrorists and Biden's America. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-56184033

A Strange Priority.

When while they'd be on the list you'd think they'd be at the absolute bottom. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/404726/World/Region/Syrias-rebelheld-northwest-to-get-Covid-vaccines-b.aspx

Today is a New Day.

February 24th 2021 (24/2/21). Make way, make way. Severely hungover person coming through. Possibly on their way straight back to bed.

🎶Someone Brought Their Wife To Work.🎶

🎶Someone Brought Their Wife To Work.🎶 And then couldn't even deliver it properly. https://youtube.com/watch?v=9X_HgJ3KMvY (SNL: Weekend Update: Vaccine Fraud, Video, Saturday Night Live). Seriously. I was all ready to break into a thing. About how I'm not a super fan. Because if Buffy's taught us one thing; No-one wants me as a super fan. However. My interpretation of SNL's Weekend Update is that each writes the other's jokes. They don't get to see the joke.  Until the joke appears on the Autocue. And they have to read it out live. To an International TV audience. So dare I suggest.  This joke; https://jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/the-ajc-wants-saturday-night-live-to-apologize-for-vaccine-joke-659731 Was written by Colin Jost.  Or perhaps now his wife, Scarlett Johansson. 

In Terms Of Native American History.

My main, sole, source is really just the TV Show; "Longmire." And only the latter, subtitled seasons. I assume though there are some issues. With the casting of the Filipino -Hispanic, American actor Lou Diamond Phillips in the main, Indian role. However I think you would to struggle to find, at the time, a more authentic character who could carry the role. No matter how many seem to have earned their cards off his back. Oh, and clearly she's got a type. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/shailene-woodley-confirms-aaron-rodgers-engagement Along with an insurance policy.

Asked For A Warrant First, Did He?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/56172067 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56169616 https://youtube.com/watch?v=6z-xP7E_zMU (99 Problems, Jay-Z, The Black Album, Explicit, Audio, Felix Anderson). Meanwhile; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56172496 Britain's enduring fantasy is that my father will one day die. Triggering the issuance of a inheritance tax bill. Finally forcing the fire sale that will allow the old Estate to seize the entire compound. Into this fantasy they may have forgotten to factor. The rumour that I may have friends. The sort of friends who cannot only cover that. They can buy the entire compound, above market rate. On just one of their debit cards. There's even been allegations. Of an; "IT Guy." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56174404 Not that any; "Head of Security" worth their salt would ever have to ask. After all. Everyone's cards wear out, Eventually. https://youtube.com/watch?v=EX0Mw00vThk (18 Brits, Damien Quinn, Live, Video, D...

How I Came To Ruin.

Summer Glau's life. There was once a public gathering of family and friends. Drink was no doubt involed. An awkward silence arose. Which someone tried to break with the normally innocuous question; "Have you been watching anything good on TV?"  I then did a quick risk assessment. Before talking about; "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles." A spin-off from all those; "Terminator" movies you may be familiar with. I particularly focused on the young, female "Good" Terminator. Being especially impressed by the stillness of her performance. Amongst the technical echelons of the Oscars that's still considered a skill. Even standing still it is hard for a human to act as something other than a human. I thought the worst that could happen is; There would be rumours about me being impressed by this new young actress. Prompting casting directors to call her in to take a look themselves. Perhaps even deciding to hire her for future works. Boy! Did I...

Let's Play A Game.

Where does the following. Bolt into the final draft of my Super Bowl LV coverage? "Discussion of America's western expansion also seems to reference Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Specifically Season 4, Episode 8; "Pangs." There's something of a tradition in US TV Shows that they do special episodes for the big winter holidays. Such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was in Season 4 that Buffy the Vampire Slayer finally bowed to this pressure. However it decided to do a very different type of Thanksgiving episode. It begins with the unearthing of a Christian Mission for Native Americans. This releases the spirits of the Native Americans who were horribly mistreated by the Missionaries. Those spirits then take revenge. Killing people in the way they were mistreated. The Xander character is smited with all the diseases White Colonialists brought with them. Such as Smallpox and Syphillis. Particularly Syphillis. The Native American tribe featured is the Chumash. A real Na...

Definitely Not True.

https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/wife-of-el-chapo-drug-cartel-chief-arrested-us-justice-department-659853 Given the basics that are needing to be explained. Slowly & with lots of pictures.  #TransferableSkills #DesignatedDriver.

Presumably With That Title It's An Autobiography.

https://www.rt.com/usa/516377-hillary-clinton-louise-penny-book/

So Six Impeachments Looming.

If the Executive and Legislative branches of the US government are illegally occupied. As all evidence suggests. Then that is most certainly something the Supreme Court needs to take up. https://www.rt.com/usa/516309-supreme-court-election-thomas/

As It's Written In My Native Language.

It seems the height of laziness that I haven't bothered read this draft law. https://www.rt.com/news/516325-australia-facebook-ban-lift/ I would assume though there is some distinction.  Between the way news is monetized through something like the MSN homepage. Yes, it's still online; https://www.msn.com And the way I'm using a Google service to provide a link to a story on the RT website.

It Is The Silicon Valley Way.

Keeping the Information Super Highway safe for us all. By slaughtering everyone protected by the Vienna Convention.  http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/europe/2021-02/23/c_139759783.htm You'd almost think they were Turkish. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38369962 "The vehicles were kidnapped into the woods" was certainly a strange turn of phase. Particularly in light of the "Nicholas T. Moore" episode of; "The Blacklist." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8140446/ If it is a thing. Then everybody knows that in that part of the World it could literally be anybody. Well. Everyone except for John Kerry and other supporters of the Paris Agreement. Britain's certainly been rumbling about; "London Spy." The 2015 show. In which the original text of the World changing protocol was suddenly replaced with a new text. At the last minute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Spy

Not The Death Sentence It Once Was.

http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/africa/2021-02/23/c_139760879.htm Ebola used to have a pretty much 100% fatality rate. An outcome it achieved with terrifying speed. So I'm fascinated as to whether the fall to 60-70% is the result of better diagnosis, surveillence and treatment. Or whether it's evolutionary imperative to survive has seen the virus itself adapt to become less lethal.

Today is a New Day.

February 23rd 2021 (23/2/21). Hopefully it will be more productive than yesterday. I couldn't decide between keeping up with the news. Or doing a final edit of the Super Bowl. Including all the things that are too long and fiddly for exam conditions. By trying to do both. I didn't do either particularly well.

Impersonating America's Weekend Was He?

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/seal-team-actor-justin-melnick-injured-in-helicopter-incident-report I mean I hope he's ok. But he really shouldn't have bothered. It's never been a discussion nor will it ever be. I won't be using any Facebook service. Twitter's out of the question until it is returned to me & I've cleared the bridge. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/well-those-are-my-terms.html

At Least One Marriage Is Still Working Then.

https://jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/the-ajc-wants-saturday-night-live-to-apologize-for-vaccine-joke-659731

About Sums It Up.

Having to adjust themselves to my schedule.  To even get noticed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-56149494 So they'll best hurry up down that road.

Well, Those Are My Terms.

All three parties have certainly demonstrated that they don't have the option of not meeting them. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/israel-oil-spill-disaster-investigation-details-placed-under-censor-659765 Seriously though. Is anyone really that interested in me and Rihanna texting each other dumb jokes about Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

Reality Is The Enemy.

https://www.rt.com/usa/516245-new-york-asian-attack-protest/

Aww, Bless.

He actually believes that doesn't he. https://www.rt.com/usa/516240-solarwinds-sullivan-russia-hacking/

Or Not.

https://www.rt.com/russia/516227-tikhanovskaya-protesters-lost-streets/ Britain has a lot less incentive for a divided EU this year than it did last. I don't really know which is worse. That she's a British puppet. Or that she doesn't seem to have realised that she's a British puppet.

Which Sounds Accidental.

In the sense they probably didn't know they were killing an Ambassador. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/europe/2021-02/22/c_139759169.htm I think everyone's aware of the Congolese governments lack of control over that part of the country.

Clearly America's Got It's Own Problems To Solve.

Today is a New Day.

February 22nd 2021 (22/2/21). And I'm feeling a little bit proud of myself. Having stayed up that late. I almost found time for a second pass.

Oh, Did I Mention?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=jXr9mALzhww (Willie Gannon, The Dubliners, Live, Official Audio). https://youtube.com/watch?v=nipuszHHUqo (Hot Asphalt, The Dubliners, Transatlantic, Official Audio).

Much Like The Poor Deer.

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to unsee it now. https://www.rt.com/usa/516196-deer-hairy-eyeballs-rare-condition/

We Shall See.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/saturday-night-live-star-michael-che-faces-backlash-for-weekend-update-joke-some-deemed-anti-semitic After all. I certainly know my place.

And Now The Brexit's Done.

I really must remember to tell you that story about how I used to drink in a pub. A pub beneath a brothel. Well, brothel, escort, stripper. It's a gig economy. Yeah. Totally that joke about helping their kids with their homework. https://youtube.com/watch?v=U0PjacHLI9Y (Lonesome, On'ry and Mean, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio). But tanks again Britain. Thanks so much for saving me. https://youtube.com/watch?v=dbLylevj7G0 (Black Friday Rule, Flogging Molly, Official Audio).

Aye, Yeah. Definitely A Curse.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/dancing-ice-return-date-confirmed-23540636 Whose face, name 'n arse is known the world over. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WvfYd4CcZvU (Muirsheen Durkin, Johnny McEvoy, Legends Official Audio).

Clearly There's Been An Incident.

The last poor people heard. He'd only just found himself a wife. https://imdb.com/title/tt7535510/ (NCIS: Los Angeles, S.9 E.7 "The Silo.") That, of course, was the main worry. From the Euro Gays going off to celebrate one side of Israel. That the other would win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Accords So bear that in mind as I ask; Israel, Nigeria. Are you sure you're not related? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/7230274/Immigrants-to-be-taught-how-to-queue.html

Yep. That Was A Nasty One.

For at least three, four of the sides. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-55174211  At some point I'll have to cover it more fully. Being considered the EU's 'expert' on all Nagorno-Karabakh Region (NKR) affairs. By simple virtue of knowing that it exists.  https://youtube.com/watch?v=B_nlnT7VwZk (Valley of Knockanure, Sean Dunphy, Best, Official Audio). Arguably the Kardashians could've done more. But we first met during the Diamonds World Tour.  So I like to think they, more than most, should know. Just because some little tart is going to flutter her, *tuts*, eyelashes at me Doesn't automatically mean we're going to agree.

Must We Have A Climate Change Analysis?

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/perhaps-not-best-idea.html Because - I sh't you not - their second child, Saint, is exactly the same age as the Paris Agreement. Somewhere between the 13/11 Paris Massacres. And Obama's big exhibition of himself, the 12/12 Atrocity. I wouldn't say my brain was; "Broken." But it was certainly, severely; "dented." Anyway. In my ropey Sarf London accent. That child's name sounds like a joke about his parentage. As in; "I'm a Kardashian." "This? Oh, this Ain't West." There used to be a reason I felt comfortable making such jokes. Meanwhile. I'm currently being mocked by Congolese slave children. For not being able to afford a better Mp3 player. https://youtube.com/watch?v=4q7OpvvfjWs (Diamonds From Sierra Leone, Kanye West, Remix, Official Audio).

Perhaps Not The Best Idea.

Certainly not the most thought through. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kanye-west-presidential-run-cost-him-marriage-kim-kardashian Anyway. If they are wasting all that money on Chambers. They could at least instruct one to do something. They're probably already being billed for it.

Have They Caught "The Serpent" Yet?

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/unlicensed-exterminator-forgets-hazardous-pesticide-in-kindergarten-659346   Or does anyone really need the assistance of yet another ropey North American queen.

It's More Than The Jams Shuddering.

By the state of that. https://www.voanews.com/middle-east/voa-news-iran/bidens-bid-revive-iran-nuclear-deal-faces-long-road-should-involve-us https://youtube.com/watch?v=8mfdqbfydPc (The Grand Coulee Dam, Lonnie Donegan, Tops, Official Audio). The Battle of Kobane lasted for six long, brutal months. So it's hard to decide exactly which details to pick out for the 'visual thinkers.' As I'm certainly a lot more knowledgeable on the differences between strategic and tactical air campaigns. Than I was seven years ago. Although you can probably see why. Nigeria doesn't feel it has the option of waiting in a queue.

And That's Me Suitably Creeped Out.

For the rest of the day. https://www.rt.com/usa/516196-deer-hairy-eyeballs-rare-condition/

Someone F'ed Up The Guest List.

https://www.rt.com/usa/516184-united-engine-debris-denver/ Meanwhile Rihanna is rumoured to be worth around $2.2bn. As she celebrates her birthday in lockdown. Having NOT been murdered by Chris Brown.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rihanna_777_Documentary..._7Countries7Days7Shows So I'm putting that in the; "Win" column. Despite how furious it still clearly makes certain people.

People Are Still Playing Along?

https://www.rt.com/news/516189-myanmar-facebook-removes-tatmadaw-military/ When this conversation has only arisen. Due to Silicon Valley's failure to get its own house in order.

Today is a New Day.

February 21st 2021 (21/2/21). And having just typed the date wrong. It might be a while before something productive emerges.

But in the space of a year Bill Clinton went from bombing the Mujahideen stew in  Afghan/Sudan. To bombing Europe on their behalf. So it's not to be a little alarmed.

"Alabammy Bound." http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/northamerica/2021-02/20/c_139754397.htm Although it's hardly an outrageous allegation. When it seems all Skiffle songs fit into the category of; "Annoying."

I think even the scientific community needed to get it out of their system. https://www.livescience.com/8035-slime-mold-beats-humans-perfecting-traffic-networks.html Although that is one of the main reasons why. I declined to further indulge the Developed world's COVID-19 anxieties. It's kind of hard to do. Without sounding like you're just taking the p'ss out of the Developing world. https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/africa/2021-01-15-medical-oxygen-shortage-in-zimbabwe-as-covid-19-cases-surge/ But there's some good news for you.

Also A True Story.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/koreans-use-term.html One of his favourite games was to hide above the frame of the front door. So he could scratch unwanted solicitors across the face. He seriously once nearly had a police officer's eye out. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wT-uhYRuVqM (Tramps and Hawkers, The Dubliners, Live, Official Audio).

But Not As Effectively.

As the Jews. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-56131414 https://youtube.com/watch?v=dj_aGdrGLKA (Rainy Day Woman, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio). Let alone their Messiah. https://youtube.com/watch?v=l8hJvVkDuGo (You Can Have Her, Waylon Jennings, Lonesome, Official Audio). Nice of that wee old queenie though, innit. Still showing out for the Muzzies. Who blew us all to hell. https://youtube.com/watch?v=J8Gp00IFwbI (Blood, Dropkick Murphy's, Official Video). But seeing as we're on the topic of; "Swearing." It's nice to finally learn the origin of the term; "Bint." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d132Mb629PE (Nobody Loves Like an Irishman, Lonnie Donegan, Golden, Official Audio).

If True.

Then that kinda sucks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-56133017 By accident of Rihanna's Diamonds World Tour. It turns out I actually really quite like Kim Kardashian. While I remain spectacularly oblivious to her TV work. I have enjoyed her in a number of roles; The World's most famous Armenian. By extension a borderline official envoy of the Armenian government. Mother to four frustratingly gorgeous children. Trainee attorney. Effective criminal justice reformer. However the role I've enjoyed her most in. Is that of Kanye West's wife. Given his well reported issues. I'm more than a little annoyed that I couldn't get more involved. Although I'm most annoyed I'm putting this on the Internet. When I clearly want to be giving someone a good, hard kick. Regarding a certain guest list.

Did I Really Type That?

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/its-not-lasting-for-even-then.html As I looked back at it, I could've sworn.  It read; "It's Not Lasting Forever Then." https://youtube.com/watch?v=RDS7oGJ9fZI (Hot Asphalt, The Wolfe Tones, Day, Audio, Topic).

Although. Let's Be Honest.

If Silicon Valley are going to insist on persisting with that allegation. https://us.cnn.com/2021/02/19/politics/joe-biden-foreign-policy-speech/index.html Then it's never going to be pretty, is it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=t_0fadmzJ_o (Mcalpines Fusiliers, The Dubliners, 15, Official Audio).

But we have some, quite a bit of, previous. So I like to think think I know when they're putting it on. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/10/404312/World/Africa/Horrible-Witnesses-recall-massacre-in-Ethiopian-ho.aspx Although clearly a lot of water's passed under the bridge since then. https://www.rt.com/russia/515924-ukraine-dam-crimea-water/ As I try and, slowly, rebuild a new network from scratch.

Just behind Little Mix. Apparently. I'm currently taking a break from streaming Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Having finished Season 4. Which, like the rest of the show, I'm going to have to revisit fully at some point. However Season 4 seems to have been critical within the story of the show. The main cast have left High School. With some going on to College/University. While others go off to the spin-off show; "Angel." Over the course of the season I think they were planning to expand on the Faith/Eliza Dushku storyline. While finally outing Willow as gay. Introducing the Amber character as her girlfriend. It was at this point Britain decided to launch its attack, with actual swords. Against both me and the show. The season finale seems to involve the core characters having some sort of collective nervous breakdown. Or "dream sequence." During which the original; "Slayer" is introduced. Officially credited as; "Primeval" this original Slaye...

At the turn of the century I owned a pet cat. Insofar as one can ever own a cat. He was named; "Gizmo." As in; "Of the Devil." A name he tried to live up to each and every day. A particular highlight was when he started getting a little too elderly to defend his vast territory from the other cats. So he negotiated a defence pact with the foxes. Something they certainly won't teach you at musical theatre camp. Kinda racist though. Being unable to tell the difference between Black men. And gay Black women.

Until a backlog of household chores has at least been trimmed. But how was 2020 for you? I discovered I'd had a 7 year relationship with Sarah Michelle Geller. But completely failed to noticed. Shortly after Israel's Eurovision team declared me to be their new Messiah. Only for my enemies to be smited with a Biblical plague. That all but passed right over me.

Today is a New Day.

February 15th 2021 (15/2/21). Which means it must be time to start all over again.

Clearly We Have An Early Lead.

Over the past year I've developed a casual interest. In how TV shows will cope with the shock of lockdown. After all, here in lockdown. Watching TV is pretty much all we're allowed to do. Imagine how bad it will get when TV stops. I'm coming to the conclusion that this competition may already have been won. By Australian women's prison drama; "Wentworth Prison." Fans of; "Orange Is The New Black." Who have also taken the trouble to watch; "Deep Water." May be beginning to understand the rivalry. Season 8 begins with the introduction of the Trans character; "Reb Keane."  However, unlike other Trans characters. Such as; "Sophia Burset" or; "Paul Strickland." The Reb character has not undergone any reassignment/confirmation treatment. So rather than simply taking the hashtag and forcing us to accept it. Wentworth Prison seemed to be attempting to look at the entire process. The Nuts n' Bolts of it. As it were....

To Some It's A Mumble.

For others it's a non-negotiable. https://youtube.com/watch?v=uMimkHKcMrQ (Belsen Was A Gas, Sex Pistols, a/v, Ficklestein).

However Season 4 seems critical. It was when Britain's combined foreign & domestic intelligence agencies launched an attack against the show. Which was genuinely both psychologically & physically violent. At exactly the time when the show was displaying less than the expected level of gratitude. For the gay community's rather sweaty support. For the cause of undressing a then 15 year old Willow Ronsenberg. Ju...

Ah, Yeah. Michaela Coel.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56058477 She one a BAFTA for; "Chewing Gum." Really to mock BAFTA I responded, along the lines of; "Ooh get her. Doing well for herself. She could almost pass for White." A Tweet that the actual Michaela Coel immediately favourited.  Leading me to conclude that we might have to keep her for a while. Others clearly agreed. She went on to secure the lead in; "Black Earth Rising." Which is what Hugo Blick did after; "The Honourable Woman." With Maggie Gyllenhall. If you've not seen Black Earth Rising. And you have an interest in economic development in Africa. Particularly in this Green New Deal/Ebola era. I can only strongly suggest that you do. I have since acquired a rowing machine. So no. I haven't seen Michaela Coel's; "I May Destroy You." I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way. But I have little desire to see her naked and pretending to have sex. Not pretending? Well, that...

I've Not Finished With The Super Bowl.

So it's probably best I don't get into analysing every shot from every scene in; "9-1-1 Lonestar." However the opening scene with the fertiliser plant explosion.

https://www.rt.com/usa/515521-ducklo-threat-reporter-resigns/ #PromisesMade. #PromisesBroken.

Got A Lot Of Stock To Shift?

http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/europe/2021-02/14/c_139742751.htm

Today is a New Day.

February 14th 2021 (14/2/21). And I'm excited. By the end of today I might finally be caught up. On all the things that have happened since, really, this time last week.

The Very Definition Of; "Pointless."

They've declined to lift immunity from prosecution. From someone who didn't have immunity from prosecution. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/13/politics/senate-impeachment-trial-day-5-vote/index.html So if the Democrats actually believe what they've been saying. They can go ahead and prosecute. As they would've needed to do anyway. To bar Trump from office under the 14th Amendment. This has really only been more evidence of how just utterly detached from reality the Democrats have become.

Which Could Be Interesting.

Seeing if Britain can identify, let alone prosecute, violations of the Rome Statute. While continuing to obstruct the prosecution of ISIL members. https://www.euronews.com/2021/02/12/british-barrister-karim-khan-elected-next-international-criminal-court-prosecutor

Yet Genocide Calls By Suu Kyi.

Remain acceptable. https://www.euronews.com/2021/02/12/facebook-limits-content-shared-by-myanmar-military-to-stop-the-spread-of-misinformation https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46105934 At least that will help distinguish the brand from Twitter. Which is carving out a niche as the go-to place for Muslims calling for genocide.

Given The Massive Scientific Advances

Since the Spanish Flu of 1918. It's really testament to the extent to which the mask-nutters have messed this up. That not a single thing they've done has improved the situation at all. https://www.rt.com/news/515448-eu-coronavirus-forever-vaccine/ Perhaps it was a mistake to so whole heartedly reject science.

At Least People Are Talking About It.

In a country that's got a bit of a reputation for anti-Black racism anyway. https://www.rt.com/news/515410-china-lunar-blackface-africa-newyear/ I can't pretend to have seen either. But it certainly sounds less racist than 2018.

As If Covid Restrictions Don't Matter After All.

http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/northamerica/2021-02/13/c_139740949.htm

Today is a New Day.

February 13th 2021 (13/2/21). And clearly it's going to be a good one. I plan to sleep through most of it.

So When's #Eurovision Coming Back?

Clearly I have thoughts. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/worth-go.html Thoughts as mad as a pile of dogs. https://youtube.com/watch?v=LpB9ObssI4Q (Amanda, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio).

Worth A Go.

But clearly no Affair. https://www.buzzfeed.com/noradominick/euphoria-jules-special-episode Anyway. I must remember to give Drake a bling. See if he can recite the shooting schedule to me. Obviously I can't afford that. But I can at least hold out hope for an old intern. Also. Clearly not Jewish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margot_Robbie As you can probably smell. From all the Clap,hammy. But seeing as I'm being forced to pay to watch it in 5.1 Surround. I'm strongly resisting the urge to start handing out gold stars. https://imdb.com/title/tt10870120/ (Wentworth Prison, S.8, E.8, "Goldfish Pt.2") Just as strongly as I'm resisting the urge to use the phrase; "The nuts n' bolts of the 'ting." Because, yeah, yeah. The old Labyrinth got rumbled there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giri/Haji Innit. https://youtube.com/watch?v=uZbaj5VIbiQ (Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho, Lonnie Donegan, 100, Official Audio). Obviously I could've handled it...

Spotted The Wee Flaw There Yet Then.

https://news.sky.com/story/marcus-rashford-says-people-behind-racist-abuse-should-have-social-media-accounts-deleted-immediately-12216435 https://youtube.com/watch?v=__3v0eKHB_s (Up Went Nelson, The Go Lucky Four, a/v, machree01). Because I can certainly tell some football stories. That involve a lot more than a few hurty words. And a lot less than £200k per week. Plus tax-free image rights. Seriously. The f'ck son. When will you finally f'cking learn.   "Good At Sport."  Just means; "Thank f'ck we never have to listen you the f'ck ever the f'ck again." "Cunt." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56028583 So, in summary; Never trust Vinnie Jones to teach recent immigrants English. Or, for that matter, Welsh.

They're Still Doing That Then.

Jolly good. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/well-theres-waste-of-time.html Just to clarify; It's either a high crime (felony) OR a misdemeanor. In erecting the framework they wrote "and" to allow Presidential immunity to be lifted for both. However if you're about to march yourselves up those wooden steps you'll best to be able to specify the difference. https://youtube.com/watch?v=7ZTaXgWT2nI (25 Minutes to Go, Johnny Cash, Ballads, Official Audio).

No. You're Being Smutty.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=-8CnfFbHoPA (Waymore's Blues, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio). He's merely referencing the great; "Rambling House" tradition. https://youtube.com/watch?v=DcvWrxrNk4k (Worried Man Blues, Carter Family, a/v, ILOveOldies).

General Principles.

http://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv.html http://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt2.html I'll finish, trim & tidy it later. Honest. https://youtube.com/watch?v=bMdWRjaSVsU (Hot Asphalt, The Wolfe Tones, Live, Audio, Topic).       Oh, well. In for a Penny; "Apparently that SEAL Team's back on the TV." "Great. They introduced any new characters?"  "Aye, yeah. Major Ick." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Wild_Things_Are_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZlmbwhpo30 (The Nightingale, The Dubliners, Live, Official Audio). #PrivateDamage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_Honey https://youtube.com/watch?v=_awJkzQlLOg (The Man from Mullingar, The Irish Rovers, Official Audio).

Oh, That's Not Anti-Semitic.

https://jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitic-flyer-in-german-tram-blames-jews-for-the-covid-pandemic-658735 Miracles. Now that's anti-Semitic. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YudXOxDigRI (Ten Plagues Of Egypt, Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards, Audio, Topic). But at this difficult time, let's all spare a thought for Beyonce. She's had to go a whole year without selling out. https://youtube.com/watch?v=__5LeG3sZ9Q (Army Of Zombies, Lars Frederiksen & the Bastards, Audio, JourneyToTheEnd666). https://the-yorkshireman.com/chuckle-brothers-face-mask/

Yeah. It's Like A Global Conspiracy.

Or just a network of highly specialised clinics. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/israeli-facial-masks-star-in-the-weeknds-superbowl-halftime-show-658731 https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/gaza-burn-victims-get-3d-printer-face-masks-made-close-to-home-658602 https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/hadassah-warns-against-purim-fireworks-use-after-teens-face-injured-658749 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8udDaQReiK8 (Puttin' On the Style, Lonnie Donegan, Classics, Official Audio). Like I said; Taut I had it covered. https://youtube.com/watch?v=4ULtaC6-24Q The Golden Vanity, Lonnie Donegan & his group, British, Audio, Topic).

Too Late Now Dear.

To be acknowleding the Vienna Convention. https://www.jpost.com/international/twitter-to-add-more-labels-identifying-world-leaders-government-accounts-658701 They'll have to restore all the accounts. Starting the with the Presidents. Pay compensation. Liquidate the employees responsible. And that's before we get into their liabilities under the UN Charter & Rome Statute.  

Obviously He Couldn't Be Permitted.

He's probably the only person left in America still doing journalism. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/9/403911/World/International/Twitter-suspends-proTrump-activist-group-for-priva.aspx While everyone else has moved to campaigning for the Democrats full time.

Did She Not Realise?

Defending Nazis is Disney's job. https://www.rt.com/usa/515212-gina-carano-cancel-mob/

I'd Say I Need More Information.

But the truth is I probably need to broaden my horizons. https://www.rt.com/usa/515207-whedon-avengers-racism-misogyny-accusations/ The purpose of the Cordelia character was to represent the vacuous, selfish High School Mean Girl. Which doesn't afford the same opportunities as other characters. Even if I seem to remember one the then 27 year old's better lines being; "I'll be in therapy until [long pause] I'm 30!" While I don't think there was any dispute about the toxicity of the set during Amber Benson's debut season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yoko_Factor  What with Cordelia's replacement Anya getting so many great lines. Including; "Your naked! You know they won't even interview you if you're naked!"  

Today is a New Day.

February 12th 2021 (12/2/21). I've got so much catching up to do. That the Half-Time Show is going to have to wait until Monday now. Although I think there was more action in the roughly 2 minutes of the national anthem. Than there was in those 15 minutes. Which is why, by that point, bland was exactly what we were aiming for.

Another Advantage Of The Snow.

It forced me to put salt down on the concrete. Rather expensive, scented bath salts I needed to get rid of. Net result; Peppermint Tear Gas. https://youtube.com/watch?v=w-nq4Xkntus (Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavour, Lonnie Donegan, Just About, Official Audio).

Nope.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/11/politics/donald-trump-covid-19-ventilator/index.html Everyone knows that was an honest to goodness miracle. Putting him in much needed purdah after the first debate. While disproving the Democrats big lie de juere.  Of a deadly disease that needs States to disregard all the election laws & unplug the economy at the wall. All on the day I designated to start my COVID-19/Election coverage. https://youtube.com/watch?v=RDS7oGJ9fZI (Hot Asphalt, The Wolfe Tones, Party, Official Audio).

How Provocative.

Booking a Trump hater. To preach to us about peace & unity. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/07/business/bruce-springsteen-jeep-ad-trnd/index.html Knowing full well that he's drunk on the Sandy Hook. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bruce-springsteen-dwi-arrest-report-refused-breath-test-smelt-strongly-alcohol And that's the soft strand. https://youtube.com/watch?v=N9Kf0HTFNho (Mrs McGrath, Bruce Springsteen, Official Audio). Because how brutal was Chrissy Teigen's abortion. In the year the entire planet was obsessing about lateral flow tests. He goes and hides from one. https://youtube.com/watch?v=aQS2JQGShlA (Mrs McGrath, The Dubliners, Live, Official Audio). Like a lot of people I touch my nose when stressed. In a subconscious affirmation/grooming ritual. That was the news that made me do it probably the one too many times.

Rap Battle: Redneck Edition.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=6PLPmmfeNd4 (Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way, Waylon Jennings, Hits, Official Audio). https://youtube.com/watch?v=VubTtES__1s (There's A Little Bit of Hank In Me, Charley Pride, Single, Official Audio). https://youtube.com/watch?v=blvm2bTXqCc (Honky Tonk Blues, Charley Pride, B, Official Audio). https://youtube.com/watch?v=8LIDR2ySLlo (Honky Tonk Heroes, Waylon Jennings, Outlaws, Official Audio).

Super Bowl LV. Pt.2 (Finished).

https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt2.html Quite the action packed few minutes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vswaT_KOZCw (Jazmine Sullivan & Eric Church Sing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LV, Video, NFL). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfh3DaM44BQ (Super Bowl LV Flyover, Video. m171562). So you have to pull the full, weird playlist together yourselves. I have just the one regret. Apparently The Shadows never recorded a version of The Golden Vanity. https://youtube.com/watch?v=71WsX_DdF-k (The Golden Vanity, Crooked Still, Official Audio).

Still Trying Then.

Good for them. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56028583 After all those Buffy references. I think most sane people would've issued a notice to quit. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ThnpMjAESXQ (Start Wearing Purple, Gogol Bordello, Official Audio).

Super Bowl LV. Pt.2. (growing).

https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt2.html  Well this is getting scrappy. https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt2.html

I'm Not Seeing The Problem.

https://www.jpost.com/international/gina-carano-fired-from-the-mandalorian-over-social-media-controversy-658582 It seems a fairly valid comparison. With Nazi Germany in the 1930's. Rather than in the 1940's. Obviously. But wasn't that part of the problem? No-one thinking it could ever go that far. Particularly as even back then Disney would silence anyone who dared suggest it could.

Today is a New Day.

February 11th 2021 (11/2/21). The gyms definitely getting missed today. My legs are already surprisingly tired. From the sheer effort of not slipping over in the snow.

Yeah. Texans Are Pussy Cats.

Despite how the elites dismiss them as gun-toting, Bible-bashing, Homophobic White Supremacists. https://www.rt.com/usa/515077-cat-filter-lawyer-court/ But then they also think Texas is a southern State. Whereas Texas thinks of itself as a western State. Except when it thinks of itself as part of Mexico.  Or an independent nation. So ANFO explosions amid Northern Irish border metaphors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-1-1:_Lone_Star Britain can't be looking forward to the next part.

They Know The Minimum Terms.

Refusing to meet them after such a show-of-force just makes them look foolish. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56013464 If, in deed, anyone even notices them anymore.

Perhaps US Law Should Hurry Up.

Putting the current allegation to bed. No-one wants to see the mountain unleashed again. https://www.rt.com/news/515169-tsunami-advisory-pacific-earthquake-newzealand/

Yeah. I've Gone On Strike.

The theory being that what will be an agonising slog today. Will actually be really easy tomorrow.

Today is a New Day.

February 10th 2021 (10/2/21). At some point I'm going to have to make the time to trim my beard. Or start braiding it with gunpowder.

Now, That's My Opinion.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/02/well-theres-waste-of-time.html Although I feel I should warn you. I've clearly never passed a bar. Particularly not one lined with squadrons of the Blacks n' Tans. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BCWV_U0GsjY (Caps and Bottles, The Dropkick Murphy's, Official Audio).

Anyway.

Let's all thank God for Snowing. Certainly saved me the bother. https://youtube.com/watch?v=y8OtzJtp-EM (Immigrant Song, Led Zeppelin, 2015, Official Audio). Even if I've just made like the entire Duncan-Smith clan. And treated myself to a touch of the wee willy. https://youtube.com/watch?v=YdckfxePU3U (A Nation Once Again, Paddy Reilly, 16, Audio, Topic).

I'll Assure You.

That once you hear it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Dale You'll never be able to unhear it. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BMRjlVHJEag (Rose Of Allendale, The Barleycorn, Songs, Audio, Topic). Good for him. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/07/business/bruce-springsteen-jeep-ad-trnd/index.html Now can be tell us some more about this new Pfizer jab. Comes with the full free treats, does it? https://youtube.com/watch?v=N9Kf0HTFNho (Mrs McGrath, Bruce Springsteen, Official Audio). #Knut.

Not The Dreaded South African Variant!

Absolutely no-one wants that in their throat, dear. https://youtube.com/watch?v=gQ6BtGO5eAg (Jerusalem, BBC Proms 2020, Video, gamingfloppa).

Well, There's A Waste Of Time.

It's my understanding that under the US Constitution. Congressional Impeachment covers two scenarios. The first is when a Federal employee's employment requires Congressional approval. Such as a cabinet secretary, head of Federal agency. Or Federal Judge etc. Impeachment allows Congress to revoke that approval. Essentially firing the bugger. The second scenario relates to a concept Congressional Democrats, along with Democrats more widely, really seem to be struggling with. They do not get to elect the President. Nor not they get to formally approve or disapprove of the election of the President. That remains the sole responsibility of the US electorate. Through an election conducted in accordance with the law. In this scenario; "Presidential Impeachment."  The procedure serves to guard against insurrection. By way of judicial coup d'etat (push of state).  Essentially a Judge or Prosecutor attempting to oust a lawfully elected President. Simply because they do no...

I'm Going To Hand Down A Ruling.

"Waylon Jennings: Bit of a Lad." https://youtube.com/watch?v=i85ob2DackI (Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Waylon Jennings, &, Official Audio).

But there's currently a bunch of c'nts making a show of themselves in HD on the TV. An incisive commentary. That works equally well for BBC 1 and CNN. As for George the Poet. Turns out your mother lied to you. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30579567 About more than who your father is. https://youtube.com/watch?v=dBWTZF38Hxc (Buffalo Soldier, Bob Marley, Comfrontation, Official Audio).

At the sudden discovery Alicia Keys was involved. As an accomplished live performer in her own right.

Even if my money's still tied up in someone p'ssing off the Buddhists. https://www.rt.com/news/514967-india-glacier-burst-survivors-search/ Although a clearer signal could've been sent. About it not being a scheduled Olympic year. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/shakira-d...

Super Bowl LV. Pt.2

https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/02/super-bowl-lv-pt2.html A love letter to America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTrYd6o-OR8 (H.E.R Sings America the Beautiful at Super Bowl LV, Video, NFL). Or just a memo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWvdf_51Iq0 (The Fighting 69th, The Wolfe Tones, a/c Fegral). To Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's constituents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8hJvVkDuGo (You Can Have Her, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio).

Or None At All.

I Can't See That Causing Any Problems.

For the men making the vaccines. The vaccine manufacturers. https://www.rt.com/news/514977-facebook-covid-vaccine-campaign/ Are they trying to make a point Silicon Valley's opposition to the 1st Amendment only extending to statements of fact?

Anything Below 50% Efficacy.

Today is a New Day.

February 9th 2021 (9/2/21). That's one advantage over Twitter. Whatever I missed yesterday is likely still to be there today.
