I Wonder If We Can Look Forward To More Failed Antics This Weekend.

https://news.sky.com/story/british-airways-flight-to-london-loses-wheel-during-take-off-13499966 While they're easy enough to ignore they're still a little tedious.

Arrest Being The Inevitable Next Step.

Perhaps I Should Be Taken Seriously On Geopolitical Matters.

https://news.sky.com/story/senior-politician-dies-in-india-plane-crash-13499953 Particularly issues of economics and trade.

I Don't Think I've Seen Anyone So Hopelessly Out Of Their Depth.

It simply can't afford to have it on the global stage. They've become so incoherent they can't offer an explanation of why they want to attack Iran. Simply that they want to attack Iran. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/01/im-only-surprised-no-ones-picked-off.html

There's No Point Even Trying To Defend This.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/27/alex-pretti-shooting-two-federal-agents-dhs-report-congress/ The huge five second gap between the shout of; "Gun" and them opening fire shows that neither of them had grounds to open fire. The second certainly didn't. They would both have to have seen the gun to be threatened by it.

Yet Still Comes Across As Less Sleazy Than Gavin Newsom.

Today is a New Day.

Wednesday January 28th 2026 (28/1/26). Yesterday was certainly a lot of words. While you're digesting them I'll go work on some more. 

Meanwhile....

Hmm. "Attacked" Seems To Be Pushing It.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/27/ilhan-omar-attacked-liquid-spraying-man-minnesota-town-hall/ With b'tch moves like that, shouldn't she be joining ICE?! Seriously;  "Hold me back! Hold me back! Please, someone, hold me back!"  "All that EBT money's about to fall out my pockets."

https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/27/philippines-mayor-assassination-attempt-rpg-attack/ Trying to figure out how to pull together the licenses for a paramilitary fire team to protect Rihanna. Without being able to speak, directly, to Rihanna or her security team. I like to think the government of The Philippines would have been cool about it. Although; "Fly in, play the gig while the jet's being refuelled, fly out again" seemed like a reasonable compromise in the end. Sooo much Cocaine though. Not them, obviously. Despite repeated claims to the contrary Rihanna is a good girl. Neither she nor any of her touring group would ever do anything illegal. Meaning someone had to counterbalance them all. Anyway, where's that sympathy vote gone(?!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nhIdHpzHxM (My Michelle, Guns N' Roses, Official Audio).

If I am able to complete the complex thought that is the Globalised Era - all that tedious, tedious infrastructure - this week. Then I might be able to take an intermission to slap some Super Bowl cr'p together. Bad Bunny isn't really going to d'ck about in a fecking dress though is he?! Some of us will be busy enough trying to translate a complete set-list we haven't been provided with several months in advance. Trump hasn't even been able to get up on that Palisade and do something about the twin tragedies bearing down on America now. #J18 was so much cooler, obviously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn_Vjrdx1aA (Bitches And Nike Shoes, CapDown, Frontcover, Audio, Topic).

Today is a New Day.

Tuesday January 27th 2026 (27/1/26). The history of the Neo-Colonial Era is certainly a long, complex thought. Although I hope to complete it today.

Trump Has Completely Rejected His Mandate Regarding The Palisade.

https://news.sky.com/story/remains-of-last-israeli-hostage-found-in-gaza-13499223 It's only the complete sidelining of The Departees which prevented Hamas from being able to hold onto his and the remains of six other hostages.

That's the main thing Netflix wants from Warner Brothers, access to its library of intellectual property.

Patriots Vs.....?

https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/25/super-bowl-seahawks-patriots/ Having overcome the Colorado Robber Barons I would have thought L.A's Big Four would be up next. If anything that Palisade is in worse condition than it was last year. All I can think of is Washington State's history as a hotbed of Neo-Nazi activity, making it ICE's spiritual home. There's also Seattle's prominent role in Season 2 of; "The Last of Us." However it really feels more like Awards Season being cancelled due to the deep political crisis of America's Commander-in-Chief being incapacitated. 

Today is a New Day.

Sunday January 25th 2026 (25/1/26). Oh good, it's raining again(!) Those 30 hours where it wasn't raining really had me confused. 

Yet The Physiocrats Won't Let Her.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ySOMEbORUY (Loom, Ani DiFranco, 2023, Audio, Topic).  One of the foundation stones of modern Economics continues to be John Locke's Labour Theory of Property; the natural environment is a common treasury, owned by all. It is only by applying our labour we can turn it into our private property. That idea inspired the fringe French Physiocrat School. They believed that only agriculture could produce value. Industrial production, even clothes made of spun and loomed wool have no value. These days the Economically Developed world has become so dominated by the Knowledge Economy; making Movies, TV Shows and Music, along with Hospitality we no longer really think about Industrial production. Where food comes from seems like a mystery, the answer to which has been long forgotten. To give you an idea of how wrong the Physiocrats were. The Phsyiocrats were all Absolute Monarchists, so they were pretty much all killed during The French Revolution. I think one...

I Hope He's Not Betting On All Of His Base Being As Poor Weapon Handlers As Hegseth.

Saturday January 24th 2026 (24/1/26). That's turned out to be unsettlingly civilised. I had a couple of glasses of wine, watched a TV show and went to bed at a reasonable hour. I'm kind of worried about what's going to happen next.

https://news.sky.com/story/players-and-officials-could-face-appropriate-action-after-chaotic-africa-cup-of-nations-final-13496062 Although I think my comments about El-Aynaoui might've come across as harsher than I intended. He'd only suffered a small cut to his forehead. It's just the forehead is nothing but skin and bone with all the blood vessels really close to the surface. So cute there always bleed spectacularly. Looking far, far worse than they actually are. I don't think anyone wanted to see him substituted out of such an important match for something which isn't really an injury at all. So maybe it was okay to let them quickly bandage him up on the pitch for a minute or two. However by the time they were trying to stitch and bandage him up for the second time he really needed to follow the rules, leave the pitch for treatment and let play continue. Allowing one team to waste a full 1/10th of the total game is just ridiculous bias. Not even FIFA can expect t...

Monday January 19th 2026 (19/1/26). I don't think the gym quite killed. However it certainly didn't cure. At least I get to take a break from it now.

They Finally Overcame The Referee's Bribe Then.

https://www.skysports.com/football/senegal-vs-morocco/live/526845 This year in the UK AFCON has been broadcast on the Channel 4 Network's E4 Channel. So some painfully White people who don't normally watch something as racist as Football can revel in how wonderful Britain's diversity is. Just as long as it stays on the TV, doesn't go anywhere near them. This type of final are always really tense, cagey affairs. Astonishingly boring and hard to watch, unless you support one of the teams. Being rather indifferent to either team I can't say I watched it, so much as kept half an eye on it. When the referee allowed that Moroccan player to be treated for over 8 minutes on the pitch. Rather than following the rules and making him leave the pitch, leaving Morocco a man down. It was at that point I realised the referee had decided that Morocco were going to be anointed winners. So decided to watch something else after dinner. Over the course of having dinner I got to see Sen...

Awards Season Is Far From The Only Reason The US Needs To Resolve Its Urgent Crisis.

No. They Still Haven't Apologised For Trying To Waste Everyone's Time.

https://news.sky.com/story/major-incident-declared-in-kent-as-thousands-without-water-across-south-east-england-13493337 Which means I'm having to spend more time chasing them up. Just before Christmas I emailed Thames Water, got no response. So yesterday I reported the problem with their infrastructure to them through the form on their website. So anyone in the World can check for a progress report there now. Legally there's nothing more I can do about it. Legally there's nothing they can do to make me pay for their failure to do something about it. So legally the matter is now closed. All that's left is for them to acknowledge that and apologise. 

Presumably Propelled By A Manic Momentum.

He lost all credibility. Then everyone just ran him over. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/01/that-credibility-isnt-coming-back.html

Today is a New Day.

Monday January 12th 2026 (12/1/26). And I so nearly got on top of Showbiz news last night. At least my starting point for today will only be yesterday. 

If He Feels He Needs To Issue A Proof-of-Life Video.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-ultimatum-cuba-make-deal-before-too-late-face-consequences Then he should just issue a Proof-of-Life Video. As there's absolutely no-one on this big, blue marble who believes he's still POTUS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMDljoM5JFI (Nightrain, Guns N' Roses, Official Audio). 😉. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Lightning_(cider) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJCkgyxK9U (Okie From Muskogee, Merle Haggard, Finest, Official Audio).

Perhaps It's Time To Revisit The Rules On Revocation.

https://news.sky.com/story/nobel-institute-responds-to-claims-maria-corina-machado-could-give-peace-prize-to-donald-trump-13492971 In light of the current seeming inability to acknowledge a fallow year.  Although she was not able to accept the award in her own, personal capacity by the deadline. So technically it wasn't awarded being in the first place.

Jungle Fever.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/10/zara-larsson-loves-criminals-hates-ice/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvY8fdgezLQ (Midnight Sun, Zara Larsson, Official Video).  Possibly the worst case seen since Prince Harry. One upside of being forced to buy that Roku Streaming stick is that it finally motivated me to download the PlutoTV App.  I'd been meaning to do it for a while. However it's a bit counterintuitive. Taking time to download another TV streaming App when you haven't got time to keep up with the TV you're trying to watch on other TV streaming Apps. It does give me access to CNN and CBS News. However one of the main attractions was that it gave me access to MTV music channels. Unlike the MTV non-music channels I'm paying for as part of my NowTV bundle. About two days later, MTV announced it was shutting down its music channels. There's probably other Apps I could get around to downloading.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-882928 https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/01/americas-commander-in-chief-has-long.html If it is a true assessment of Trump's thought process & content then he's, undeniably, incapacitated. The US really needs to let us know when they've got their great, sucking vacuum filled.  Personally, I viewed it as someone below the rank of Commander-in-Chief trying to talk some sense into it. Some poor fool who still hasn't realised that's a futile task.

Today is a New Day.

Sunday January 11th 2026 (11/1/26). And some people might already be discovering that they've not made the cut.

https://www.nbcnews.com/video/shorts/vance-says-minneapolis-ice-agent-has-absolute-immunity-255634501529 In Pierson v Ray (1967) SCOTUS established that Law Enforcement Officers have immunity from Civil Law (Tort Law) in the course of their official duties. However that immunity disqualifies them in instances where they are acting against clearly established rights. By definition breaking the law cannot be an official duty of a Law Enforcement Officer. I would think that any co-conspirator of Charlie Kirk would be extremely hesitant to argue that stone cold assassination is an official duty of a Law Enforcement Officer. Such as a Secret Service Agent. If the hopeless badge-chasers who join ICE were Law Enforcement Officers then they would have already placed Jonathon Ross under arrest for murder. Contrary to Criminal Law.

Today is a New Day.

Thursday January 8th 2026 (8/1/26). It's remarkable how halving the amount of time I spend in the gym each week has given me a lot more energy. That ends now. 

That's The Bye, Gone Era Black Lives Matter Are Lost In.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/01/lagttm-part-11-economic-eras-black.html Although I'm starting to think the angry virgin mythology might be stuck somewhere even further back than that. One of their heroes was Ayn Rand who wrote; "Atlas Shrugged" (1957). In Greek mythology Atlas led the Titans in a war against the Olympians. They were defeated and Zeus, the leader of the Olympians, condemned Atlas to forever carry the weight of the heavens upon his shoulders. Perseus took pity on Atlas and tried to help him with his burden by turning him to stone and exiling him to the edge of the World. Which, at the time, meant Morocco. These days I doubt you'd have time to watch Christopher Nolan's upcoming movie adaptation of Homer's "Odyssey" on a flight between Morocco and Greece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooGVDjXFbJk (Flat Earth Society, Bad Religion, Grain, Official Audio).

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-882573 I have heard it is the only route. 

Today is a New Day.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/05/nicolas-maduro-venezuela-dictator-nike-tracksuit-sells-out/ It's not weird. I mean, they're sunglasses designed to fit over another pair of glasses. So they're always going to be a bit weird. However there's nothing weird about wearing sunglasses in the snow. As the name suggests they're designed to protect your eyes from sunlight, not heat. I didn't wear them to the convenience store on Friday. Then regretted it for every second of the 10 minute walk with the bright sunlight directly in my eyes. 

Wasn't Willem Dafoe Also In "Clear And Present Danger" (1994)?

Eugenicists Actually Have A Theory About Latin American Popularism

Essentially the interbreeding with inferior has rendered the more feeble minded, simply stupid, than even their European Hispanic counterparts. Who Franco helped keep more pure. We really should thank Trump & The Departees for helping to prove that it's certainly not true of all of them. https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-is-a-town-divided-after-nicolas-maduros-capture-40514613/ I can't say I've read Venezuela's Constitution.

Dispute Of (alternative) Fact.

https://news.sky.com/story/ousted-venezuelan-leader-maduro-pleads-not-guilty-in-first-court-appearance-in-us-13490879 I can only assume that they weren't formally arrested until they were within the jurisdiction of the Court. Although, judging by the type of badge-chaser who joins ICE, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they do voluntarily present evidence that they've engaged in kidnapping and human trafficking to a Court of Law. Despite US law generally frowning on that sort of thing, since about Juneteenth 1865.

I'm sure that you understand this past weekend hasn't seen the absolutely catastrophic failure of Trump & The Departees attempt to overthrow the Venezuelan government and steal Venezuela's Oil(!) Oh no, instead it's now all part of an elaborate, cunning long-term strategy(!) To pressure Venezuela into adopting a puppet regime which will allow Trump & The Departees to steal Venezuela's Oil. Against the backdrop of me lecturing on; "The Mechanisms of Totalitarianism." It turns out I'm not named Smedley Butler. So I think it will be better for all concerned, some more than others, if I just skip ahead to; "Economic Eras & Black Lives Matter." Perhaps until Trump & The Departees make like Vogue Williams in the UK 2025 "Gladiators" Christmas special. Obviously complete thoughts are still better than scattered paragraphs. However if there is popular demand for me to assist with ...
