Also I hope we are all watching MURDERBOT. From the best science fiction series I have read in literal years, engaging cast, great FX. Absolutely recommended

4 hour uninterrupted discussion with Gavin Newsom.

For the record - not a fan of his - but when Bernie Sanders was on JRE, I listened. I am currently listening to this now. I doubt it will move the needle much, but still.

Just watched "Guy Martin's Lost WW2 Bomber" on YouTube.

In Holland a fishing boat snagged a net. The snag turned out to be a Rolls Royce Merlin engine. The engine number identified a particular missing Lancaster bomber. Four bodies had washed up on the beach at the time but three remained missing. The programme follows the efforts of the Dutch government, with Guy in tow, to find identifying evidence of the remaining three crew members. The aim at a minimum was to find three of any one bone indicating they had remains of all three missing crew members for burial.

The Dutch government spent over a million (Euros?) recovering what they could. There was not much, it was eventually concluded that the Lancaster had been on fire and had hit the water upside down at flight speed.

The Dutch did a great job technically and with respect.

Popular YouTuber Shadetree Surgeon survives an active shooter incident in the storage complex he works out of. Pretty honest account of thoughts and emotions.

A pro nuclear power video with pretty rational breakdown of what the real risks and dangers actually are in modern era

This has to be the most riskiest chase I’ve ever seen, 120mph lane splitting between cars in wet
Multi camera angle, bikers own cam, cop bike and chopper.

The latest series of Slow Horses is due on Apple TV+ today. Series 5 I think. The religious nutters in the US who thought the Rapture was coming today and they would be with their God come nightfall must be disappointed. I'll be disappointed if Slow Horses isn't there after dinner.

Oh the dilemma - do I download and watch now, thus requiring a full week between episodes, or hold off until the end, then binge the the entire series. Maybe I'll get the book and make do with that, THEN the series...

Wife got Neon briefly.

Everyone else Burns.

Fantastic Brit comedy in same vein.



Also watched the Charlie Sheen doco on Netflix.

Don't tend to watch TV but these were good.

Another Mick Herron series, no connection to Slow Horses at all, this is another story arc with a private investigator Zoe Boehm - "Down Cemetery Road" only one episode up so far (Apple TV if you swing that way or Torrents if you dont) Four books (Down Cemetery Road, The Last Voice You Hear, Why We Die, Smoke and Whispers) should make for a good few hours of viewing. I've already read the books and the first TV episode is sticking very close to the book.

Meanwhile Slow Horses series 5 has only one episode to go, but the book 7 has been released so I'm optimistic there will be another couple of series yet
