Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-6-2025 — The Wise Little Hen

9th June, 2025: The Wise Little Hen.

Right: I’m now awake … !

Early, as always.

It’s Monday: so I’m off to my regular weight management group.

Hopefully?

I’ll’ve lost some weight.

I’ve been plateauing on the same weight for the past three weeks, so I’d like to have lost some!

I think Jude — my nephew — has a hidden talent or two.

We had the inevitable family dinner, last night.

So, Jude being Jude, he brought his laptop: to give himself something to do.

It seems he’s got a musical bent: as he was experimented with a music creation site — it’s called BeepBox — while he was there.

And?

And … ?

He managed to come up with this lot.

I’m mildly impressed … !

~≈🎵≈~

Just as a last thoughts … ?

I had a word, last night: from Gill, the sister of long time reader, Trevor.

He’s currently in hospital at the moment: with a Serious urinary tract infection.

Here’s hoping that can be treated, quickly!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-5-2024 — Three Little Pigs

25th May, 2024: Three Little Pigs.

It’s Saturday … 

It’s officially Saturday.

And, frankly?

That means I’m going to be watching “73 Yards”, the next episode of Doctor Who, tonight.

It sounds interesting!

I’m assuming you keep your eyes on the news?

If you do, you probably remember the Uvalde school shooting, a couple of years ago: the shooting where police officers on the scene didn’t do anything to stop the shooter for around an hour after getting to the site.

I can’t imagine the parents of children killed that day feeling good about that.

Neither can they, I think.

It seems, though, that the families are to sue;

• Meta, the owners of Instagram.
• Activision, makers of the game, Call of Duty.
• Rifle makers, Daniel Defense.

They hold all three companies responsible, in part, for the actions of the shooter.

And — according to the BBC News report on the matter — for grooming the shooter, and others like him, into thinking a gun was a good solution to a problem.

I don’t know if that would work, though.

I seem to recall that the British press made a huge fuss — in the days and weeks following the Hungerford Massacre — and blamed the shooter’s actions on the film, First Blood: citing it as a motivating factor in the shooters actions.

Despite any evidence or investigation to prove that.

I know similar claims were made about Dungeons and Dragons, at around the same time: again, with little evidence or investigation.

The Hungerford Massacre victims did not sue: I suspect because they had no legal grounds to do so.

I wish the Ulvade families well with their case.

But?

However laudable the attempt, I don’t think the case will prove successful.
