At Least It Makes For An Easy Way To Identify The Areas Trump's Given Up On.

Presumably We're Going To Get Lots Of Footage Of The Depots Of Aid The UN Are Blocking The Distribution Of.

https://news.sky.com/story/us-doctor-in-gaza-asks-trumps-envoy-to-come-and-see-reality-on-ground-13404432 That was actually a significant driver of the 1983-1985 Ethiopian Famine. The Palestinian allied Derg regime tricking gullible aid agencies into distributing foreign aid in areas where there were no food shortages so the Marxist-Leninist Dictatorship could line it's own pockets by selling the food Ethiopia was producing at the sort of prices Hamas is selling food at in the Gaza Strip. Ultimately creating an artificial famine.

Today is a New Day.

Thursday July 31st 2025 (31/7/25). At least I'm not facing a mad rush to get outside. 

Hamas And Its Supporters Pretending That They're Starving To Death Is A Well Worn Tactic.

https://dayan.org/content/pizza-crisis-viral-palestinian-prisoners-campaigns You'd think Bob Geldof in particular would have a much better idea of what people look when they're actually starving.

Probably Someone Having To Paint Something The Didn't Realise They Had To Paint.

https://news.sky.com/story/flights-resume-after-air-traffic-control-glitch-causes-disruption-13404177 There's certainly no point rushing lunch when you're waiting for paint to touch dry. No-one's less pleased about the change in schedule than I am. Alternating yard work and desk work is certainly preferable to consecutive days of yard work. I'll actually be a bit annoyed if it doesn't rain heavily tomorrow.

With the exception of India. Although that always leaned towards Communism and still got a Lula-style Maoist Peasant insurgency going on now. In comparison South Korea and South Vietnam are absolutely tiny. Yet I think we all know how hard America fought for those. Although still collectively and comparatively tiny Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and the Philippines certainly do. As does anyone exposed to the School of the Americas via the School of Superior Warfare.

https://news.sky.com/story/starmers-plan-to-recognise-palestinian-state-labelled-appeasement-towards-jihadist-terrorists-by-netanyahu-13403756 I was tempted to point out that he's had ample time to de-Hamas the BBC, he hasn't. So his problems are his problems. Ultimately I decided even that wasn't worth the effort. That Ring of Fire's certainly been busy though, hasn't it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyRCvukVv6w&pp (Mama Tried, Merle Haggard, 2001, Official Audio).

Today is a New Day.

Wednesday July 30th 2025 (30/7/25). The weather has pushed tomorrow's yard work up to today. One of the things I didn't get time to do yesterday was fix some rain guttering.

Today is a New Day.

Tuesday July 29th 2025 (29/7/25). I'd say the yard work never ends. Except it does. From November through to March.

Honestly, I Thought Internet Streaming Was More Ubiquitous In Braitain.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g0q076591o The people who don't have access to it do know they can change the channel on their TV's? These days you can even get a little box that lets you do it without having to get up out of your chair. You don't have to watch something just because it's on the first channel to come up.

Let's All Go To The Movies Pt. 8 (deep in the political weeds).

https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2025/07/lets-all-go-to-movies-pt8.html Finding no inspiration for singing or dancing. 

Today is a New Day.

Monday July 28th 2025 (28/7/25). I seem to have successfully cleared the fatigue from the schedule. Now I'm just feeling the effects of not going to bed until after dawn. 

Maybe It's Time To Talk To Someone.

https://news.sky.com/story/england-hold-nerve-in-penalty-shootout-to-win-womens-euros-again-13402574 https://acquiesce.org.uk/10-signs-of-addiction/ After all. Paul Gascoigne has got better match fitness than that, now.

Shouldn't They Just Be Grateful That No-One's Talking About How Terrible At Football They All Are.

https://news.sky.com/story/england-star-jess-carter-targeted-by-racist-abuse-during-euros-13399268 Obviously I've not been watching it, I'm not that desperate for someone to sleep with me. However with it believing itself entitled to five hours of coverage on main channels every primetime it's been hard to avoid entirely. I did have the last 15 minutes of extra-time and penalties of the England v Sweden game on in the background. The one England won 3-2, after 7 rounds of penalties. That's right. Out of 14 penalties between them they managed to score 5. If thingy Russo were a man then she'd have been laughed out of the National Conference for either of the sitters she missed. The most embarrassing thing though is the complete lack of fitness. As far as I can tell everything after the first 45 minutes is just feigning injury so everyone can lie down and have a little bit of a rest. Obviously it doesn't require any skill or talent to build fitness. You just need t...

The Economic History Of Cold War Brazil Is Really The Economic History Of The Neo-Colonial Era.

Goulart starting to undo the damage done by Kubitschek only to be overthrown by American multinationals who handed power to the Superior School of War. Producing the "Brazilian Miracle" - rising GDP amid crashing living standards, leading to the most heavily indebted nation in the World at the time. Obviously there were a number of drivers of the suddenly sexy, American -led, Anti-Globalisation movement of Jubilee 2000. Not least blocking the so-called; "Doha Round" of W.T.O negotiations on the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs/Services (GATT/S). Which should have seen the plunderous Developed nations, finally, open their markets to the long suffering Developing nations. However anoth...

THERE ARE EVEN SCENES IN A MOVIE THEATRE!!!!

Yeah, I finally got to watch; "Conclave" (2024). Not least because of the conspiratorial discussions over who everyone's going to vote for, set in a movie theatre, I stand by my assessment that it was a cheap shot at the Catholic Church. Using them as nothing more than a coded euphemism for the lobbying and politicking of Awards Season. It must be said that it is a very good movie though. I don't think there's a weak acting performance in it. Amid lots of really beautifully composed shots which made me regret seeing it on a small, rather than big screen. Ad-free streaming has conditioned my attention span to around 45 minutes. After that my mind starts to wander, regardless of what I'm watching. When the movie was interrupted half-way through by an intermission ad I was genuinely surprised to discover that an hour had passed. That said though, the plot is utterly absurd. So absurd it could have been set anywhere. As if an Islamist bombing would inspire people ...

There'll Be Street Parties Across Spain Tonight.

https://news.sky.com/story/at-least-three-killed-after-train-derailed-in-germany-police-say-13402766 Although there's still more than enough embarrassment to go around. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/07/although-we-seem-to-be-past-nadir-of.html

Although We Seem To Be Past The Nadir Of Trump's Fantastic Voyage Now.

https://news.sky.com/story/michigan-11-people-stabbed-in-us-supermarket-with-six-in-critical-condition-13402385 https://news.sky.com/story/england-hold-nerve-in-penalty-shootout-to-win-womens-euros-again-13402574 I knew it probably wasn't the best time to be putting in an Amazon order. However the surprisingly good earbuds I got for £5 last year, then used every day since gave out back in May. Forcing me to rely on the other £5 earbuds I got at the same time. Which are every bit as good as you'd expect. After getting fed up of waiting to clear time in my schedule I relented on Friday (25/7) and got some very posh, half-price Sony ones. Along with some dull household stuff. Try as I might I really can't get excited about replacement heads for electric toothbrushes. Even when I'm managing to get them for 50p per unit. Rather than the £5 per unit the supermarket charges. It all arrived in one package on Saturday (26/7) morning. Except the only interesting thing in the orde...

Didn't He Once, Famously, Call Ethiopian Dictator Mariam A F'cker To His Face?

https://news.sky.com/story/bob-geldof-accuses-israeli-authorities-of-lying-about-starvation-in-gaza-13402178 So I would have thought he'd be better versed in the type of aid agency which partners with tyranical regimes in order to starve millions for "the cause." I actually thought the need to keep aid agencies out of the pockets of tyrants was one of the main lessons of the 1984-1985 Ethiopian Famine. Even if it seems to have been forgotten by many. 

Today is a New Day.

Sunday July 27th 2025 (27/7/25). Fatigue is still the only thing I'm hoping to clear from the schedule. 

I'd Forgotten How Good "Ashes To Ashes" (2008-2010) Is.

The Season 3 opener certainly came in strong. Everyone wondering whether it's reality of just a dream. Set to the strains of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/06/okay-then-i-wont-waste-any-more.html Some of the locations are pretty good too. Even if so terribly slandered you'd swear it was the devil himself. And fair play to whoever wrote the trigger warning;  "This programme reflects the standards, language and attitudes of its time. Some viewers may find this content offensive." When it doesn't. That's the entire premise.

https://news.sky.com/story/france-to-become-first-g7-nation-to-recognise-palestine-as-a-state-13401391 Possibly the most famous quite from; "The Eighteen Burmaire of Louis Bonaparte" (1852). Karl Marx's critique of Napoleon's subversion of the French Revolution. Fascist leaders are frequently accused of such; "Bonapartism." Brazil's; " Years of Lead" came in response to Brazilian Marxists joining with the Soviet/Maoist Arc of Resistance, using kidnapping as their main tactic. A fashion that began with Israel's decision to make concessions the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) following the PFLP's taking of 38 hostages in the hijacking of El Al Flight 426 in 1968. Obviously it's not ABC Sports story to tell. Yet surely ABC News would want to take the opportunity to finally stamp out such vile tactics once and for all. Rather than encouraging a resurgence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azud40CQ3IE&pp (SEPTEMBE...

The Portuguese Empire invented the business model of using Slave Labour in Sugar Plantations on the Atlantic island of Madeira, just off of Africa's Slave Coast. So it's arguable that their practice of using locally captured Slaves also started The Atlantic Slave Trade. No doubt the British divisions of Black Lives Matter will be upset to learn. Particularly about how while Britain participated in Slavery, a practice as old as time, it was the first country to make it illegal and actually enforce the ban.

With the Shia faction wishing to honour the Prophet's choice to nominate his son-in-law as his successor. Whereas the Druze religion has existed since around 1000 BC. But keep trying to convince us that the thing which pre-dates Christianity by a millennia broke off from the thing that didn't emerge until 1,600 years later. Along with the fact that the Genocidal Al Qaeda occupation is the legitimate government of Syria(!)

Proper desert countries. Whereas Britain is on the same Latitude as Belarus and Alaska. As a result most British buildings are designed to keep heat in. For example typical British houses don't have one wall. They have three; an inner brick wall, a middle concrete block wall and an outer brick wall. Often the cavities between the walls are filled with heat retaining wool. Likewise typical British windows are two panes of glass with a heat retaining gas trapped between them. Air conditioning isn't really a thing. Also these are heatwaves. Normally it's hot during the day when the Sun is out. Then it cools overnight when the Sun goes in. During heatwaves it just stays hot overnight then gets even hotter the next day when the Sun come...

The fictional "Cohen" being a mocking nickname by Brazilian Fascists (Greenshirts) for a George Soros style Hungarian Jewish Communist of the era.

Then the US Federal Army conquered the place with surveyors & cartographers. Who mapped the area into little parcels of land. Only for Governor Leland Sanford to grant that land to his friends. The; "Big Four." The original ; "Robber Barons." Well . That's a lot like how Portugal colonised Brazil. Expect it didn't go so well. The Feudal Lords kept getting eaten by the locals. Forcing Portugal to send in Royal troops to look after them. It's actually rather different from the Northern European model of Colonialism.

I'm tempted to go up the refugee centre on the High Street. See if anyone wants to dig a big hole. No questions asked. Incidentally. Are Pilaster blocks no longer a thing? When I was taught how to build a wall, aged about 8, I was taught you start and finish with Pilaster Blocks. Hollow pre-caste concrete blocks with grooves in them. You pop a reinforcing steel bar into the hollows and fill them with concrete. I've had a quick look and they don't seem to be available anymore. Although it is starting to sound like I studied under Françios Coigent personally.

Not only that the claimed that they'd witnessed me claiming I'd done it for racist reasons while subjecting them to racist abuse. When the matter came to Court in October the Court stopped short of ruling this witness had committed Perjury. However they found the witness to be so completely lacking in credibility the case was dismissed. There had never been any grounds to bring it in the first place. On June 23rd this year. As Britain was marvelling a two baby Bears escaping their enclosure in Exeter, as Iran was attacking a US base in Qatar.

Saturday July 5th 2025 (5/7/25). It already looks like research is off for the day. When I do get around to it I'll probably also have to look at Brazil's history before the First Republic (1889-1930). Its time as a Portuguese Colony. This is a topic I currently know nothing about. However I'm assuming that it followed a similar model to Northern European Colonialism. Things Like The Dutch East Indies Company and the British East India Company. A private company is allowed to establish an army and take control of an area by force. In order to exploit the resources of that area for the benefit of its shareholders. That would make Brazil's history; Totalitarian Capitalism. Military Dicatatorship. Totalitarian Capitalism. Military Dicatatorship. Totalitarian Capitalism. Military Dicatatorship. Present.

Oh Well, Maybe Next Year.

That's obvious from the deed and the end of the fence posts. It should be easy enough to shutter up. Although I suspect he must be worried about accidentally knocking the wall down.

https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/03/diddy-verdict-alternate-juror-interview/ It would have helped the jury understand the coercion elements of the sex-trafficking charges. Almost all sex-trafficking victims display some level of consent. Boyfriend scams or Honeytraps are often used to recruit victims into sex-trafficking. The defence strategy of arguing that Diddy is a domestic abuser but one that didn't rise to the level of criminal racketeering means that all of those offences have been admitted to in Court so can be taken into consideration in sentencing. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-defence-has-accepted-on-record-that.html
