For all sorts of reasons I’ve been a bit distracted this week and haven’t been able to do the, erm, “in depth” analyses you all love so much
So, to end the week, I thought I’d do some short thoughts accompanied by music.
Here’s the one to accompany the title (3m 16s)
[HEALTH WARNING : this song is so sickly sweet that listening to it will give you diabetes]
It’s Raining Death
To kick off we start with this one from yesterday
It must have been so hard to take a dump in between, what, trying to catch all those raining bodies and learning your dance routines
You can read about Kevin Gong’s total bullshit accurate and measured assessment here
There are no prizes for guessing the accompanying theme tune (4m 54s)
Ain’t No Sandwich When Cheese Gone
David Icke brought our attention to a Daily Mail article in which a huge chunk of the beautiful countryside around Swaffham in the UK is probably going to be turned into a massive solar farm.
It’s not clear whether David thinks some Flesh Eating Alien Space Lizard is going to build it, but whoever is responsible it seems likely to be something of a blight on the landscape.
But look on the bright side, with the 4 days of sunshine we get in the UK every year it has been estimated that this will generate enough electricity to heat the water for the cups of tea drunk by Swaffham’s WI1 Tuesday meeting. For all afternoon.
I’ve already given away the musical accompaniment, but here it is anyway (2m 08s)
I’ll Tell Me (B)Ma
This is a bit of good news (for once). The British Medical Association (BMA) which is the trade union and professional body for the doctors and medical students in the UK had decided to call for a pause in implementing the recommendations of the Cass review. The Cass review was highly critical of the whole Gender Affirming Carnage Care thing.
Apparently the BMA had grown attached to lopping off the bits attached to other people, but they’ve reversed their decision after a lot of criticism from members. That’s probably not the best way to phrase that, sorry.
And so, because the boys won’t leave the girls alone (particularly in places that are supposed to be single-sex), we have the theme tune (2m 52s)
She’s Always a Woman to Me
I’m not immersed in the day-to-day carnivalalia2 of the US elections, but it seems that the Democrat campaign has moved on from the ‘weird’ theme and on to the theme of change.
In a recent ad for Harris, the actor Sam Elliott who has throughout his movie career been a kind of poster boy for whiteness (all that white supremacist ruggedness, individuality, self-reliance and strength) has lent his vocal gravelalia3 to the ad’s voice over.
He says that KH represents change. And that she’s a woman. It would be the manly thing to do to vote for a woman, apparently, according to the ad.
I’m glad the Democrats are calling for change. The last 4 years have been a bit of a disaster - and they are going to change it. No running on their record in office for them. Out with the old (fogey) and in with the new. According to them, what the country needs is change and not more of the same great policies that have been working so well.
I bet you guessed the theme tune wrong didn’t you? It’s this (3m 39s)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Mallows
For some reason people keep being nasty to J.K. Rowling. They never learn. It would probably be wise not to start a war of words with the world’s best-selling author.
So, in honour of book burning, and being burned by JKR, here’s the theme (3m 45s)
And in honour of the bright future we’re heading towards, those who are still alive after covid, monkeypox, disease X and all the vaccines they’ll force into us we’ll celebrate a time when we actually had pastures instead of fucking great solar and wind farms all over the place (3m 43s)
Women’s Institute, in case you didn’t know
I know. It’s not a word. I made it up. You can use it royalty free
See footnote 2
I’ve just realised that the Bee Gees hit More Than a Woman might have an unintended double meaning…
For good music to go mad(der) to, I recommend 'Hocus Pocus' by Focus.
It covers all the bases.
