Antenne Bayern news report on the farmers’ protest (in German – English translation below)
Glicks from Melton news (the Hun):
Strangely enough, the chap who broke into a nursing home the other day, and tried to wape an elderly women before being kicked in the pellets and running away before being arrested was also a Glick of Melton ethnicity.
Of course he said that.
The Victorian Concreters’ Association has been contacted for comment about losing two of its workforce.
I think it’s only around 15%.
I believe Time Team did an episode on them and concluded the bodies were of anti-waxxers. So they deserved it.

The FAA is all over the shop.
They don’t know why the panel popped off, but the FAA ladee was on the news saying “not a widespread problem”. How would she know?
Not widespread problem, huh. But grounded all Max-9’s for inspection?
And some US correspondent running interference on the radio news this morning saying that it can’t be a manufacturing problem because, after all, the aircraft had been in service for two whole months. Yes, it would pop off on the first flight if it was stuck on with clag, but if someone used an undersized fastener, or not enough of them, or drilled eccentric holes it would take a bit longer.
Lamb Australia.
Clearly didn’t understand the Bud Lite debacle.
Looks like roast beef will be on the menu come Jan 26.
re the Australia Day Lamb ad which contains no mention or sign of Australia Day. Or Australia, come to think of it.
The conversation was pretty smooth but with unnatural delays and fairly bland formulaic responses. But the repartee wasn’t too bad. I said no, firmly, but the AI didn’t want to take that for an answer and persisted a lot longer than a human would. on the other hand I may’ve insulted a 20 year old hot Aussie babe. It is possible.

Considering Their ABC is still swanning around Europe on vacation (on our dime) until the start of February, Ruperdink Mudrock has rushed Blot back to work after the holidays on Sky News tonight at 7pm.
Ruperdink, old fellah, tell someone who cares. Of all people, you should know Blot is a far better writer than a TV host.
He has already expounded on his opinions in this morning’s papers and tonight he will simply repeat them much less eloquently.
I’ll be fast-forwarding to a cooking show.

Wali, I read your review of “The Girl with the Pearl Earring.”
I really liked that movie. It was a flight of fancy…how could it be any different? The way the paintings were melded into the storyline pleased me. Even the passage between the houses.
Obviously very true.
But you’re also running against the carefully curated mix of the climate establishment, Big Corporate, the energy bureaucracy, the educational/academic complex – and straight into the fangs of the Greens and the anti-nuclear industry.
Things have to fall apart to a completely undeniable level before anyone in Australia will leave the path laid out in front of us. The big problem is that the dreary engineering task of recovering from the eventual ‘Oh Shit Moment’ will take 15+ years.
We are a very experiential nation.
Not one of our strengths.
Gotta wonder about the media .. FFS! .. when they reported. last week, Craig Thompson was off to India despite awaiting court charges over a BAT FLU rip-off they mentioned $millions involved .. Today a magistrate knocked the trip on the head cos she classes him as a flight risk .. this story claims he ripped off $25 000 .. slight difference to $millions .. !

I did drop by earlier and type out the most profound comment ever written here but i got distracted and my browser refreshed, so now it’s gone forever… 😛
Here’s an instant replay of those events, from my own words of course, ahem, Harvard:
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, Lysander, sitting on his own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and he finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything. He proceeded to post it on the Cat but was destroyed by distractions…
Calli, I was cocking a snook at the movie, which was low of me. I haven’t seen any more than that twenty minutes..
The look of the film was indeed brilliant, and looked like it was done at the stagecraft level, ie not digitally. The pearly Dutch light is something I’ve got to see in my lifetime.
I recognise that; its from when Martin Luther King bombed the Alamo, right?
That is why I am not buying CL’s assessment of him as “potentially great”. His subsequent exposed form suggests that “Fightback” would have become “Fallback” by lunchtime on Monday after the election.

This might seem niche and weird, but it’s a fast-growing market. All kinds of startups are releasing romantic chatbots capable of having explicit conversations and sending sexual photos. Meanwhile, Replika alone has already been downloaded more than 20 million times. And even just one Snapchat influencer, Caryn Marjorie, makes $100,000 a week by charging users $1 a minute to chat with the AI version of herself.
….
What’s even more sinister is the unrealistic emotional standards set by these apps. Eva AI, for example, not only lets you choose the perfect face and body but customize the perfect personality, offering options like “hot, funny, bold,” “shy, modest, considerate,” and “smart, strict, rational.” Create a girlfriend who is judgement-free! Who lets you hang out with your buddies without drama! Who laughs at all your jokes! “Control it all the way you want to,” promises Eva AI. Design a girl who is “always on your side,” says Replika.
How can we compete with that?
Have you tried not being a COAT?
Anyway, all that will happen is the men who are invisible to ladies now will become even more invisible.

What you’re saying is the cosmos is in fact constantly creating energy.
No, you don’t believe this. You’re saying the universe cannot be infinitely large.
Here’s the thing: you’ve not considered any inverse square law (mentioned before by another commenter) or inflation.
The universe is in an order of magnitude between 10^1 and 10^3 larger than the observable universe.
Let’s settle on 10^2.
The dark field telescopes are picking up new galaxies in “dark” parts of the sky and there (very) roughly on average a trillion (10^11 – 10^12) stars in each galaxy and at least one trillion galaxies (10^11 – 10^12) in the observable universe. Which is 1% of the total.
At a minimum, there are 10^24 – 10^26 stars, averaging 1 planet per star.

Priorities of mainstream Jewish communal organisations over the last two decades….
1. Cosy up to the multiculti brigade.
2 Cosy up to Muslim organisations.
3. Spruik every progressive cause from SSM to da Voice to trans gunk.
4. Insist that the real threat to Australian Jews are Grampian Nazis so these communal organisations have pushed to ban the collecting and wearing of Nazi memorabilia and insignias. This ban has come into effect today. It is now illegal to fly the Nazi swastika flag, you will be charged and you could face a prison sentence of up to twelve months.
But meanwhile, in the real world, Nazis are running amok, from Greens politicians to leftists to Muslims, and they’re laughing. Jew hatred is fashionable. After all, according to one Greens senator, we Jews are garbage.
I will remind people here that we are yet to see anyone charged from that dreadful evening on 9 October 2023, when frothing and foaming Muslims and leftists (one of whom was the son of a current NSW Labor minister) danced in front of the Sydney Opera House screaming, shouting, and screeching “kill the Jews” and “gas the Jews’.
I will remind people that every weekend our CBDs are saturated with Jew hatred, where Muslims and leftists screech, scream and shout “from the river to the sea”, which is a call for genocide.
I will remind people that our Waffen Police have stood back and allowed all of this to happen. We’re told they are ‘monitoring’ the situation, I can only presume that the monitoring will stop when there are dead Jewish corpses on our streets.
It seems that some in our Jewish communal organisations have had a very rude awakening, I guess that’s what happens when you’re too busy pushing the Voice, SSM and other fashionable crapola causes, along with sucking up to every leftist and progressive politician. Waking up to reality can be frightening. Some of us (myself and others) have warned about this for years, only to be laughed at, ridiculed, smeared and silenced. But at least now they’re now trying to do something but here’s the thing, it is too late.
You reap what you sow.

There are more stars and planets than possible combinations of human DNA.
The total possible combination of alleles for those genes in humans is approximately 70,368,744,177,664. This is trillions of times more combinations than the number of people who have ever lived. This accounts for the fact that nearly everyone, except monozygotic twins, is genetically unique.
70 trillion vs 100 trillion trillion.
No it’s not.
I’d like to show these before and after Hamas pics to every deluded young western girl who attended the pro-Hamas demonstrations.
Show your mother what you stand for, I would say to them.
How about Mama Mia puts these pics up for commentary about violence against women? Oh, sorry, these beautiful young women are Jewish. I forgot.
Ignore them. Don’t even think of trying to pressure Hamas to let them go and bring them home.

I dont mean to give the impression I approve of the virtual girlfriend bit, they will be a enormous catastrophe and emotionally stunt millions.
But the article ticked me off with the “women hardest hit” angle.
And in general its not going to be the “prize” men addicted to this stuff, it will be the ones who are supposed to wife up and support the “39, had my fun want kids” demographic.
It will be as corrosive and bad for society as the pornification of everything.
Maybe for some blokes, and lots of women, it will be better than the real thing.
There was an artificial psychiatrist once that was very popular. The clients found it really helpful to have someone to talk to. It had no understanding at all, but the clients thought it did. Yes, they were fooling themselves, but human beans do a lot of that.

I didn’t think the accused had that option?
US aviation authorities said on Monday (AEDT) the door plug of an aeroplane panel that blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight has been found, a part that could potentially help with the investigations into the cause of the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chief said a teacher, named only as “Bob,” found the panel in his backyard in the city of Portland, in the US state of Oregon.
Did he have to give it back? A conversation piece to be envied.
The universe is in an order of magnitude between 10^1 and 10^3 larger than the observable universe.

There is excellent mail that in Victoria at least, the jacks (or screws) ran the cells leading into the major courts. In those days and in that time, the option of ‘I doan wanna’ didn;t cut it and you were, in fact, dragged in if necessary. The magistrates demanded it.
Since then, they outsourced that job to private security to free up coppers to work divisional vans. This coped with the flood of short chubby diversity hires leaving van work (or being run out of stations by no-nonsense Sergeants because they endangered their colleagues by being useless) and heading to office jobs where they got promoted.
Thanks, Roger. I simply assumed it was the usual lazy ‘choose four stock phrases and link them with random related words’ press approach.
Until recently, there was a local young woman with obvious cognitive impairments, who would walk down the street making repeated (loud) sheep sounds. Seriously: ‘Mehhhh, mehhh,’ etc. At the moment, I’d trust her observations of the world almost more than any so-called mehhhhdia outlet. (Apologies for the bad pun, but you know what I mean).

I was wondering what the Indians are up to. They weren’t happy when their ship was hit by an Iranian missile in the Arabian Sea a week or so ago.
They sent three frigates, one of which did a fine job on a wannabe bunch of hijackers a few days ago. Freed 15 Indian sailors. Pretty damn good work.
It is just possible the naval event in Iran was a bit of Indian payback. I doubt it, but Modi isn’t a pushover like Slow Joe.

It is sunny over there. I wonder if they can use satellites to detect when the drones and missiles are being prepared for launch and then attack them. They can’t stop them but might kill enough of them to dissuade further attacks. Cluster munitions are cheap and very effective. Even surveillance drones could detect the launch sites. There is too much at stake, the problem will be solved.
Is there a trans them option?
Maybe they’ve been hit by a Mexican driving a Hyundai?

From an old veteran’s organisation newsletter, original authors unknown (possibly apocryphal, whatever that means):
Excerpts from Royal Navy and Marine Officer Fitness Reports:
His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
I would not breed from this officer.
He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.
He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
This medical officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.
Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.
This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
(Most of these could be applied to any public figure, I would suggest?).
I very much doubt the Canbra public service would be giving “frank and fearless” advice on this one, no matter how many rare frogs/parrots/newts were for the high jump.
I suspect Plibbers has sent the initial approval back with an “I have concerns about the frogs/parrots/newts” Post-it note attached.
The department dutifully got the butcher’s paper out and re-worked the endangered-ness numbers.
P-delics(full word banned here) are to date proving far more effective than all prior approaches to depression and PTSD.

I’m sure that was in one of the reports written in the preface of Hacketts “The Profession of Arms”.
This article doesn’t say much about the 737 door but the second photo is interesting. It shows the complete installed assembly without the interior cover panel. You can see six bolts either side with tabs on the panels inside the fixing points on the airframe.
I am looking for the photo of the aircraft sans panel, which I think shows the airframe fixing points in place.
This doesn’t make sense.
If the thing broke free surely it would damage at least some of those fixing points on the way out.
Are you implying some idiot didn’t close it properly?
Also Sanchez, when they’re calling out flight attendants to disarm the doors for arrival and I think, arm doors for departure, wtf are they doing? Are they unlocking for arrival and locking up for departure? Not sure if it’s for both events?

They’re arming an explosive charge.
Should the door or door frame, be damaged, jammed, bent, etc. & prove difficult to open in an emergency (i.e. after hard ‘landing’) the explosive is to blow the door open.
Upon landing, the hosties disarm the explosive charge, when the skipper tells them to.
“Cross check” is a reminder to the hosties to visually observe that the hostie opposite has disarmed/armed her door.
No.
Because it isn’t a door.
It’s a space where they would instal an extra exit door if the plane was configured to seat the maximum of 220 pax.
If you don’t carry that many passengers you don’t need the door, so they instal a panel, obviously attached to those lugs in the photo. The question is, who installed the panel?
If the plane was second hand, Alaska might have done the reconfiguration in it’s own maintenance shop. But it was brand new, delivered in October, so it was almost certainly a factory-fitted option, either at Boeing at at a “finishing” sub-contractor.
It is a totally clean separation.
My suspicion?
These were bolts without nuts, or not tightened and or lock-wired.
The panel works loose and starts sliding around until it works clear of the lugs and pops clean off.
…I suddenly feel a tiny bit gay….
You get Monty then.
The “arm doors and cross-dress” command is to arm the slides so that they will deploy when the doors open in an emergency.
Something you don’t want to happen at the gate.
There are two Julies I love, one is Julie Bindel and the other is Julie Burchill.
This is a seminal piece from Julie Burchill, uploaded today on the UK Speccie website. Burchill ruthlessly takes down the whole transpervert movement, and destroys the pervert, fetishist, porn obsessed, freak named who calls himself Munroe Bergdorf.
I repost it for those who don’t have a Speccie sub…
What do Munroe Bergdorf and Andrew Tate have in common?
For inadequate men scared by self-willed women, by the start of the 21st century, things were getting dangerously out of hand. The old right-wing ‘Kinder, Küche, Kirche’ method of corralling and controlling us had been woefully discredited with the second world war. (Like the old brand of anti-Semitism, coincidentally, which was also looking for a new angle, and found it in the fresh’n’funky Islamist kind.)
A ‘caring’ and ‘progressive’ way to thwart uppity women was needed, but repeated and risible attempts at ‘men’s rights’ movements were rightfully mocked. So how could men abuse women while not being accused of sexism? Simple, say: ‘We’re women too. How can we be misogynists?’ And so the shock-frock-troops of transvestism formed a pincer movement with the aggressive masculinists embodied by Andrew Tate to assault the gains made by women in the 20th century.
Gains which took decades to achieve were wiped away in a few strokes of a pen: separate public toilets to uphold privacy and safety; sports to celebrate female bodies in a rare way that isn’t sexual (Sebastian Coe verified this week that sportswomen will never win Olympic gold medals again if they have to compete against men pretending to be women); opportunities at work to recompense for all the centuries of not being allowed to pursue careers, now given over to men in drag.
The work aspect gets less headlines than the first two in the culture wars, but it’s interesting in the light of what I’m writing about here; even after so long in the workforce, it seems like women are often punished with sexual harassment for daring to leave the domestic sphere. We all knew it happened in showbiz, where the casting couch was a long and shameful open secret/joke, but who wasn’t shocked to read last year’s survey which stated that nearly one third of female NHS surgeons have been sexually assaulted by a colleague, often in, for the love of Mike, an actual operating theatre?
You can’t ban women from the workplace in the West as some Middle Eastern countries effectively do, but what you can do, since the onset of mass transophilia in the foremost institutions and corporations of this country, is frustrate female progress by taking many of the most well-paid, high-profile jobs created for women. It would be no surprise to me if the first ‘female’ leader of the Labour Party had a penis.
Another way to degrade and destroy female achievement is to question the very femaleness of prominent women in history, as was done last year with Joan of Arc, now mooted as ‘non-binary’. Who’s next, Elizabeth I? Boudicca? And why is it only ever women who have to put up with this revisionist garbage? Why not great male historical figures who may well have been trans? Julius Caesar, ‘every woman’s man and every man’s woman’, as one wag called him. William ‘Braveheart’ Wallace, wore a skirt. And of course John Wayne, real name Marion. Ludicrous, yes, but no more so than the vandalism of the achievements of notable women.
Both of which issues bring us to one Munroe Bergdorf, a ‘transgender model’ who has recently been appointed as the first ‘UK champion’ for the United Nations charity UN Women UK, which is allegedly dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls across the country. Before I get to the meat of the matter, I’d like to indulge in a few paragraphs’ pettiness.
Bergdorf, 36, is no stranger to cattiness ‘themselves’, having previously lost their cushy billet as an ‘LGBT adviser’ to Dawn Butler, then Labour’s shadow equalities secretary, after calling a woman a ‘hairy barren lesbian’ and boasting that they wanted to ‘gay bash’ a homosexual TV star. This followed Bergdorf being dumped by L’Oreal the year before for saying that all whites were racist, and that suffragettes were ‘white supremacists’.
If we’re name-calling here, why does someone who seeks to present as a living human woman look like a mummified boy-pharaoh? Bergdorf is one of those rich transvestites who’ve spent a fortune on facial surgery, unlike the poor ones, who tend to resemble bricklayers, but it hasn’t really worked, unless the aim was to look like something off Doctor Who. And why do the new transvestites all have names self-respecting strippers would sneer at? Paris, Juno, Munroe. You never hear of a Janice or an Audrey. ‘Munroe’ was born ‘Ian’. Why not simply change it to ‘Iona’? ‘Iona Penis’, even.
Bergdorf gives the phrase ‘failing up’ a whole new dimension, also having been stripped of their role as ambassador for Childline after Janice Turner of the Times questioned the advisability of putting ‘a porn model’ in such a role. They are the Eddie the Eagle of cross-dressing. So why on earth did the UN think this appointment was a good idea? So far as I know, Bergdorf has no record in campaigning against forced marriage, underage marriage, maternal morbidity and all those boring, uncool things which affect the lives of actual underprivileged people of the female persuasion.
It’s because the point is to mock women by giving Bergdorf a job most women, having grown up as girls rather than boys, as Bergdorf did, could do much better. Bergdorf’s UN appointment aims to diss the girls and make them cry, or at least howl with indignation, as a whopping 17 women’s rights organisations have. This might sound like TERF paranoia if the UN did not have such a record of misogyny. As it is, I’d go so far as to say that the UN has found a more subtle way of continuing its war against women, displayed so shamelessly in everything from the rampant sexual abuse of women and girls in war-zones who their operatives were meant to be protecting, to the 57 days it took them to properly condemn the mass rapes of Hamas.
Unlike other halfwits, Bergdorf doesn’t question the femaleness of great women in history; rather, they play the race-grifter card on the suffragettes. It’s typical of these queer narcissists that the astonishing bravery of the Pankhursts and their girl gang, who routinely faced imprisonment and torture, means nothing to them. Aristocratic suffragettes gave up their class privilege in order to stand shoulder to shoulder with housemaids and mill-girls. Bergdorf still stinks of the male privilege he had when he was born Ian Beaumont to middle-class parents in the village of, wait for it, Stansted Mountfitchet. They probably think that ‘force-feeding’ means being slipped a few carbs before Marbs by a negligent friend.
‘Transwomen’ are doing so well, promoted and published laughably beyond their capabilities, because they really do have the best of both worlds, despite their desire to take top prize at the Victimhood Olympics. They are not concerned with feminism, so they can suck up to men in the way real women once had to. They play the dupes like fiddles, to be fair. ‘Transwomen’ are what a certain sort of angry little man wishes women were still like. Why can’t all feminists be nude models who run club nights called Pussy Palace, as Bergdorf did? What is sexual harassment for us is sexual affirmation for them, as witnessed in that super-creepy piece by Paris Lees in which they gloried in being ‘sexually objectified and treated like a piece of meat’. What a relief this must be to men who are fuming that cat-calling is no longer considered a top turn-on by real women.
But on the other hand, you can tell they are men, because those other weird men who generally fear and/or loathe women make an exception for them. They listen to them and take them seriously. As Ricky Gervais brilliantly skewered them; ‘Oh, women! Not all women, I mean the old-fashioned ones. The old-fashioned women, you know, the ones with wombs. Those dinosaurs. I love the new women. They’re great, aren’t they? The new ones. The ones with beards and cocks. They’re as good as gold. I love them.’ Andrew Tate, that arch-hater of women, has a routine where he talks about how it’s ‘gayer’ to have sex with an ugly woman than with a beautiful transvestite. Wouldn’t it be great if these two could get together and take each other off the market? Because despite their apparent differences, Tate and Bergdorf, both strange, sexually-tormented outliers of the men’s rights movement, are two testicles of the same scrotum.
Thank you Julie Burchill.

Reading what the Tom Cats have been writing (wishing), this evening about AI Fembots, brought this memory to the fore, “should we give her a brain?”
snork, chuckle, guffaw!
Look, this is all very well. Passenger jet, rah rah rah.
The real question on everyone’s mind is – what would happen if it was a glider?
Salvatore @ 09:39……..
Thanks – I always wondered about that “cross check” thing.
Ms Burchill, from Cassie’s linked piece:
Steady on there, toots.
Perhaps you’d feel better if you made me a sandwich.
Who hurt you, Julie?

KD,

The Lamb Ad (now 100% Australia Free) is actually a perfect snapshot of the current moving picture advertising industry mindset. It’s of a piece with Gilette, KFC, AAMI, you name it. Everybody- everybody– is a massive dag, are demostrably dumbarse douches, and there’s not one, but three faggy young men with speaking roles.
Uplifting muzac and showy CGI do not any glitter to the turd.
What woman hurt you, Dot?
I shall reserve my Pastor Baird and his apalling Missus commentary for another time.
Of more immediate lunacy is an article on Sky News about a disabled academic from Melbourne University (of course) who decided that she needed to hire a carer and wanted that carer to be a woman.
So advertise for one love!
Err no. I’m from Melbourne University and am entirely focused on the critical social justice aspects of my meaningless little life, so I ignored Australian social norms and applied to the Gillard HRC for permission to employ a woman.
Permission was granted by the non-elected Sex Discrimination Commissioner because the Gillard Act permits sex discrimination in cases such as hers.
But the Commisar noted that Gillard’s Act does not permit discrimination ion the basis of gender. It does not actually not permit it, it doesn’t mention it, so the $1m man hater simply inserted that interpretation.
We now have a distressed, disabled academic.
Change you own knickers sweetheart. You are the problem.
Burchill is nearly always a good read.
She’s spot on about the deliberate humiliation of real women by the tranny brigade though. The question is, who’s approving all this obvious crap?
Tate is an idiot (he claimed to be a billionaire at one stage). To declare that the men’s rights movement is invalid because of Andrew Tate is dumb.
Yeah.
This has got “I’ll tighten that up after lunch” and “Man, oh man! The bureaucracy in this place is killin’ me!” written all over it.
The inexplicable thing is how a chunk of skin could just pop off and leave a clean break if it was fastened properly.
We’d be down one glider, one glider pilot and one towelling hat.
Next.
Chortle
All of them?
Burchill is nearly always a good read.
Yep.
Yes he is. He also has no chin. None. Just look at the state of it. I usually don’t recommend that men grow full beards, but geez in his case I’ll make an exception because it’s embarrassing.
He also claimed to be a world champion boxer or kickboxer or somesuch. Looking at brief clips of his activity in the ring* (and possibly the best bits) it is undeniably clear that he was ‘competing’ in one of those poxy third world franchises, and against E Grade muppets selected for the purpose.
For Tate, the men’s rights movement was just a vehicle to grift cash from the internet. It really is that simple.
*PHRASING. Or possibly not. I’m not writing off the concept he may be a closet interior designer.
Err, right.
I’ll roll the dice with “straight” for this round thanks.
No.
The suffragettes should not be canonised. They were real terrorists who tried to kill politicians, royalty, nobility and commoners. They liked bombing churches and schools too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suffragette_bombings
It is a long list. Some are very, very serious.
4 April 1913: A bomb is discovered emitting smoke in the busy street outside the Bank of England and quickly defused. Had it exploded, it likely would have caused casualties in what was then one of the busiest streets in the capital.
8 August 1913: A school is bombed and subsequently burns down in Sutton-in-Ashfield while David Lloyd George is visiting the town.
7 May 1914: An attempt to flood a populated area fails after a bomb is placed next to Penistone Reservoir in Upper Windleden. If successful, the attack would have led to 138 million imperial gallons (630 million litres) of water emptying into the populated valleys below.
11 June 1914: A bomb explodes at Westminster Abbey, damaging the Coronation Chair and breaking the historic Stone of Scone in half. Nuts and bolts had acted as shrapnel. There were about 80 to 100 people in the Abbey at the time, with some being less than 20 yards (18 m) away, but there were no injures. The explosion caused a panic for the exits, and many from the House of Commons (which at the time was debating the best way of dealing with the violent methods of the suffragettes) came rushing to the scene.

So, Dot’s gone down a rabbit hole to damn the suffragette movement.
Oh dear.
That was Westminster Abbey’s ‘ladies bring a plate’ day.
The Scone of Stone, however, was undamaged.

Looking at that picture, even without nuts on those bolts the internal air pressure would keep the panel in place. Something else had to give.

I have never forgotten a photo I saw in the media some years ago. It was taken at one of those nauseating “interfaith dialogue” functions that was meant to be a love-in of representatives from the various faiths so they could pretend to respect and talk to each other. There was a group photo of a minister, rabbi, priest etc all in their robes. Off to one side was the then Islamic mufti, old catsmeat Hilaly. The expression on his face was unmistakable – one of absolute revulsion and contempt. That photo told you all you needed to know about how muzzies were going to fit into Australian society. Sadly my impressions then were optimistic if anything.

That was a stupid idea of mine.
Without the nuts and the pressure applied those fixing lugs could slowly stretched and eventually broke free from the fixing mounts.
Truck-train collusion now starting to look like attempted suicide by truck driver? Language seems to have shifted to loco being struck by the truck.
Well, to a point.
With the striker plates on the fuselage to the outside and corresponding lugs on the panel to the inside, pressurisation would keep it in place … as long as those two things remain aligned.
I wonder if they were kept aligned by no more than sealant around the panel for two months, until it worked loose.
Really?
It seemed that the prime mover and first trailer were relatively unscathed, and the loco hit the B-triple trailers 2 and/or 3.
If he was attempting suicide and chose to aim at another manned vehicle that is appalling.
Rave organisers and health officials have been slammed for not warning revellers of a spate of ecstasy overdoses at a hardcore dance event, with three people still fighting for life.
Serious questions have been raised about the handling of the emergency and the subsequent lack of transparency over what unfolded at the festival, which was attended by more than 10,000 partygoers on Saturday.
Nine revellers – aged in their teens and 20s – overdosed on MDMA at the Hardmission Festival held at Flemington Racecourse, with eight of them put into an induced coma and another taken to hospital for treatment.
On Monday night, three were still fighting for life in a critical condition.

Obviously two separate issues. But it made me smile thinking of what could have caused such a devastating outbreak of male misery in Xe’s vast empire.

I might even read that article tomorrow.

The organisers and enablers of these drug fests should be held to account.
Including the insipid politicians who think they are so progressive and clever that getting the rorters to test the drugs helps the kiddies get whacked.

Has there ever been a more stupid political person (well KRudd & Gillard might argue).
Even that pair of drongos are at least 100% better than Bowen…
We have never seen a more inept, stupid, destructive moron in politics anywhere, than him…

Creatine’s Secret Benefit.
Creatine has brain benefits. In this experiment remarkable brain benefits in energy provision. I’m surprised they crashed oxygen saturation to 80! For people over 65, studies also show substantial support for helping memory. I won’t do down this rabbit hole and bore you: maintaining energy levels in aging brains is a critical factor in preserving cognition and preventing dementia. I will be taking creatine for the rest of my life because I notice an effect, it might be my imagination but the research backs it as a good strategy.

John H, recently Joe Rogan had Brigham Buhler on again to discuss a range of health related topics.
There’s probably nothing new for you on the medical front but it’s a good summary of where things are at on the regulation front.
Buhler’s one of these 90% solid, 5% questionable, 5% loony shit guys.
Which is a pity because that 5% is what the establishment always focus on to discredit his other work.

Last night on Credlin with Caleb Bond was a nurse from Queensland who has been sacked for not having the jab. She is a Union organiser at the hospital. The jab is not mandatory yet she and many others have been sacked. In bureaucrapese she can reapply for her job. QUE? Why sack her then? This is not the point of my argument. As a Union scumbag filth she has gone along with every other crazy idea from the putrid Labor hacks that has affected everyone else. Now when something affects her its woe be me and its not fair. As much as I sympathise with the situation its a good example of what goes around comes around.
I have the same opinion of feminist, Ranga.
The Rino elites keep on pumping her tyres but no air is getting in.
Nikki Haley Cancels Iowa Event; Video Shows Empty Room (8 Jan)
By contrast Trump help a rally in Iowa a couple days ago, and despite the freezing cold the line to get in stretched out of sight.
The deep state and some billionaires financing Nikki don’t take well suggestions that they are stupid, that voters are just not into their candidates. Oh well, it’s their money.
Hilarious. The trans movement exists purely because women go along with it. Andrew Tate has nothing to do with it. None of his followers are trans or trans supporters.
It’s hard for feminists with some notion of reality to accept this because it’s such a bitter pill to swallow.
After all, if women vote to allow the trans movement to exist – and they do – then what does that say about suffragism? Men vote, to some extent, to virtue signal. But women only vote for the purpose of virtue signalling.
The trans movement proves that women should never be given any kind of political agency. Women rely on men to protect them even as they resent the men who do so.
FTB
I’d bet Michigan as well but since I’ve got no money down I’m not fussed either way. Should definitely be a good game.
I will say Penix looked great against Texas but that might have been his receivers bailing him out.
Burchill needs men on her side because women won’t and can’t help her, and yet, she couldn’t have done more to ensure men feel no sympathy for her.
Pardon me, but wasn’t the case at the last election, with a different opponent, ensconced in his bunker?
How did that turn out?
How do women vote to “allow” the trans movement to exist?* Is it a line item on the ballot sheet?
Also, aren’t the Trans people…men? Many of which are really autogynephiliacs? Can’t have it both ways.
* what I’m seeing is not “women” but some attention seeking halfwits promoting their children’s poor choices and idiotic bandwagoning.
Seriously? I vote for the candidate who best represents my political ideals and who I think will best serve my country.
Such people are becoming very thin on the ground.
Epic tale of windmill woe.

Chuckle!
Burchill needs men on her side because women won’t and can’t help her, and yet, she couldn’t have done more to ensure men feel no sympathy for her.
What a load of garbage. And Julie Burchill is NO far-left feminist. Many of her writings critique the feminist movement.
But good to know you’ve outed yourself as a supporter of the idiot named Andrew Tate.
snap, Calli.
On relying on a man to protect me…yes. Many, many times. And I have raised my sone to do just this for his wife and family as well.
It seems to come naturally to men. Admittedly there must some men who will just walk away from a woman in distress, but they would be very few or non-existent amongst my acquaintance. Just as a woman would rarely walk away from a distressed child.
The tenor of your comment is summarised thus – women have brought “this”, whatever “this” is, upon themselves. In my view it has always been a joint effort between stupid, vicious women and men.
Since I have bespoke chuckling, that’s the last time I rise to the obvious, juicy bait.
Time to twirl my handbag elsewhere. The next contingent of family arrives in a few hours for a few days’ holiday.
Gabor – if the Rino elites and the deep state prevent Trump from being the Republican candidate all those people you saw in that queue will stay at home in disgust and not vote.
The Republican Party either supports Trump or they will suffer catastrophically, there’s no other possibility. None. No matter how many nice articles about Haley in the Murdoch press, nor how much money the Rino donor class gives, it won’t be worth spit in the end. The ordinary Republican-in-the-street has made up his or her mind.
I remember how in 2020 Donald Trump would hold rallies in the freezing cold and in the blistering heat, and the lines to see and hear him would stretch and stretch for miles.
LOL. That really helped Donald Trump come election day….NOT.
Rubbish. Taking the absurdities one by one:
‘purely’ – are you seriously suggesting that there is/are no other factor(s) at work here? How about incrementalism in ‘progessive’ movements, where attaining one objective requires finding another one to keep the gravy train going? How about the rewards accruing to ‘brave’ tranniess who come out to adoring media coverage, including from men? How about winning not only athletic prizes thanks to being stronger, but also jobs formerly reserved for women like the UN’s latest appointment of a man to champion women’s interests? How about the growing industry of pseudo-shrinks and actual ones, drug purveyors, doctors and surgeons, expensive clinics, ‘diversity’ bureaucrats everywhere including the military and large corporations’ – need I go on?
It’s a fad which spawned an industry with many spigots being suckled on.
‘women’ – which women? How many of them? Who exactly?
There has often been rampant misogyny on this site, and usually I let it go through to the keeper. Dickheads will be dickheads. But, blaming the latest attack on women on themselves is going to get a pass from me.
Lift your game, dickhead.

Utter bullshit.
Most probable scenario:
Trump stands as a presidential candidate with polls showing a 20 point lead over his opponent (God knows who that might be).
On counting the votes Trump loses Michigan, Penn, Georgia, New Mexico in dramatic last minute 50 point turnarounds.
Then …
Cassie – he got the highest number of votes of any Presidential candidate in history. And unlike Biden they were real valid votes.
Given how many the software switched from Trump to Biden, something we were seeing live on the chyrons during the coverage, and given how many bulk fraudulent votes went to Biden, I can say yes it did really help Trump on election day.
The Left and the deep state will of course attempt the same in 2024, and almost certainly succeed. I’ve said this many times on the Cat. But if Trump is not the Republican candidate they won’t need to, since the Republicans will be lucky to get half of what Trump got in 2020 as Trump voters stay home.
