The most notorious fucking liar in politics is claiming he has an obligation to sue.

I swear to God if this goes ahead, there should be a few thousand defamation cases against Trump for the constant stream of utter bollocks that comes out of his mouth.

I'm starting to wonder if Lord Brannan has been handling some archive documents that have some interesting mould cultures on them and forgot to follow safe handling processes. :)
Tbf he only gets his leg eaten by a shark? I assume he was brought back in to be a steadying influence on Dalton-Bond as they’d had a mentoring relationship before, and the previous Felix had got sacked after being caught shagging in a coke binge in Algiers
Except for the one who gets eaten by sharks, who is randomly the same one who'd worked with Moore-Bond on that San Monique voodoo case nearly two decades earlier.

Finally catching up on NCIS Origins. The latest episode had "Young Ducky" and the end credit had a lovely message.

I miss David McCallum.

Things I learnt today

The 1989 Punisher movie with Dolph Lundgren featured a character called "Shakes", played by Barry Otto.

Barry Otto is Miranda Otto's father.

Wow

I felt strongly that Newsom had good arguments being used against Trump and his media team were really taking it to the Mango Mussolini, but completely agree that Newsom's opinions on the Transgender issue were entirely wrong.

Transpeople are PEOPLE first and foremost and deserve equality.
I'm ready for apologies from pundits and politicians who showed their bigoted asses and suggested we needed to abandon trans people in order to win.

looks like "fairness in girls' sports" wasn't the unbeatable wedge issue you thought it was, was it? kinda makes you look like a dumbass, huh?

Don't believe the news. Nothing is guaranteed, nothing is possible unless people actually show up and vote. because these asshats will cheat, lie and obfuscate. They will intimidate and badger.

I would imagine that @garybrannan.bsky.social has come across similar kinds of stories in the UK Archives,

if you haven't met Gary is Keeper of Keys and Grounds at hogwarts, no that's not right, sorry.

He's Keeper of Archives and Special Collections at the Borthwick Institute for Archives.
I've been reviewing the records of an Episcopal parish in Baltimore that closed in 1903 for genealogical reasons. I've found some of what I wanted, haven't found two things I expected.

It's weird seeing a parent in a baptism in 1862 listed twenty pages later for a funeral in 1871.

This has been a problem for a few years. A lot of the issues do stem from drivers who "Upgrade" their bulbs from halogen without changing the lens cover.

Plus, you know, the asshats who drive around with headlights on full beam.
