Devastated: a thief stole my bag with my laptop, 3 years of notebooks, all my MA work, wallet, house & car keys etc. I’ve lost 5 yrs of writing (not backed up, yes I know) despite CCTV police closed the case. I’m sure these went in a bin but in case, pls keep an eye out. πŸ™

I'm so sorry to hear this, Anna. Sharing in the hope that somehow they will turn up.

Under September and the loud moving
Of mountain writing and words in ruin
A red nerve runs in a globe of dew
Related for ever to this river
Past the imperfect world and iron
Of bright estates and a quelled shire.
At her faintly history of webbed perishing
I, under dusk and caw-witted smouldering
Wear the western doors and angel on my tongue.

Drag. They’d add drag, thus requiring the motors to use more energy to push against said drag.

Let’s try that again without the typo. Tsk tsk.

Yeah. Collated like that it’s very compelling.

Well there is that. But these are mostly military/intelligence upper echelon (so peak patriarchy). Many of the politicians behind the drive for disclosure are women, interestingly.

So it’s either zero-point energy or the use of quantum entanglement to draw on a distant energy source. Next up: the admission that at least 2 different species of non-human intelligence (NHI) have been recovered with some of these crashed and retrieved craft. There’s more, so much more.

Trying to film or photograph a UAP, they will appear blurry and indistinct, because you’re trying to film through a hole in space time.. such a means of propulsion would require 100x more energy than the entire US uses in a day. 3/

Physicist Hal Puthoff suggesting the UAPs’ means of propulsion: a gravity warp bubble, meaning they are traveling through space time, and are thus impervious to the media through which they travel. Upgraded military sensors can now see this energy field more clearly. But to the casual observer..2/

Many, if not all of those giving testimony, have had to seek DOPSR approval (Dept of Defense) which suggests a process of letting this out slowly..so the public can take on the idea. Highlights for me..1/

▢️ The Age of Disclosure - Official Trailer Watch Trailer | 2:40

There’s been a lot of hype about this documentary, which is significantly more mind blowing than the trailer might suggest. Gird your loins for an entirely different understanding of our place in the universe. Holy fucking shit.

Spain has too rosy a view of Franco’s regime. Let’s remind ourselves of its horrors | Giles Tremlett Little is taught about the murderous, incompetent dictatorship – and now almost one in five young people say Franco was good for the country, says historian Giles Tremlett

They weren’t joking about the β€˜mass of polar air’ over Spain. Just went out in my jim-jams to fetch kindling into a shrieking Baltic wind. Madre mΓ­a.
