Kennedy assassination. All the theories about the CIA and those Cuban exiles Marco Rubio continues to fetishise, presumably because they're significantly more competent than he is.

This week I digitised a lot of CD's. So I could rediscover some music while doing my yard work. The moment I started my Mp3 player stopped working. Although that's not quite true. Rather than having internal memory my £20 Mp3 player relies on a removable MicroSD card. The Mp3 player and the MicroSD card both still work perfectly. However the little clip that keeps the MicroSD card broke. The failure of that tiny bit of plastic rendered both of those complex pieces of electronics useless. Although the MicroSD card worked fine in my Bluetooth speaker. Provided you enjoy listening to your albums in strict alphabetical order. So I hopped on Amazon and brought an exact like-for-like replacement. I've actually been very impressed by the Mp3 player I brought nearly two years ago on the assumption it would be disposable. While I was there I also picked up a tobacco pouch. Why make do with tatty plastic when you can have suede? I also got a switch adaptor. For the longest time the T...

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/04/do-you-like-my-new-gate.html It turns out I had just enough wood preserver while the long-reach screwdriver is for something else entirely. I did need to buy some more screws though. Meaning that if that delivery ever does turn up I'll have something like 100+ really specific screws and nothing to do with them. The real problem was the neighbour's wall. It's three aerated concrete (breeze/cinder) blocks tall and we assume that once upon a time it must have had a brick pier or pillar at the end, that is the standard design for garden walls. However far longer ago then anyone can remember that pier collapsed. Leaving a very jagged edge of pockmarked grey concrete, not unlike those pictures of the Moon Artemis II was so interested in.  So I needed to render over it to create an even surface the wooden batten could sit flush to. A big reason why the batten for the chain kept falling over was that it didn't sit flush, it was...

He also barely touched the security cordon, let alone broke through it. Needless to say, there's a large amount of regret now Trump's done the one thing he was elected not to. Perhaps his misguided belief that he owes Britain for his second term is a factor. 

Friday May 1st 2026 (1/5/26). Mayhem may reign. In a twist for International Worker's Day I won't be complying with the government mandated three day downing of tools. But then I will get to keep the fruits of my productivity.
