Statement by the Network in Defense of Humanity on Brazil’s veto of Venezuela at the BRICS 2024 Summit
The Network of Intellectuals and Artists in Defense of Humanity (REDH) rejects the decision of the Government of Brazil to veto the incorporation of Venezuela as a partner country to the BRICS bloc.
The veto against Venezuela indicates that the Brazilian government not only yields to Washington’s pressures to exclude Venezuela from an international articulation that would link it, in a coordinated and programmatic way, to a sphere of power of alternative forces, determined to organize and make possible a new world order and balance, but also demonstrates its disagreement with the rest of the founding powers of the BRICS with respect to Venezuela.

Quote
"And the work?" "Is purely nominal." "What do you call purely nominal?" "Well, you have to be in the office, or at least in the building, the whole time. If you leave, you forfeit your whole position forever. The will is very clear upon that point. You don't comply with the conditions if you budge from the office during that time." "It's only four hours a day, and I should not think of leaving," said I. "No excuse will avail," said Mr. Duncan Ross; "neither sickness nor business nor anything else. There you must stay, or you lose your billet."
Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Red-Head League,” The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
omg, this hits very differently in 2023 than it did pre-pandemic. The only requirement of this job -- and I do mean the only requirement -- is that you do it in the office. They don’t give a flying crap about what you actually do with your time, but you must, must -- and they are absolutely immovable on this point! -- come in and do it at the office.
And Sherlock Holmes’ assessment of all this? If your boss doesn’t let you work from home, he’s obviously a confidence-trickster and a crook!

EN DEFENSA DE LA SOBERANÍA ELECTORAL DEL PUEBLO VENEZOLANO
La Red de Intelectuales y Artistas en Defensa de la Humanidad se une a las voces que se alzan en el mundo para denunciar el peligroso escenario mediático que se está llevando a cabo contra Venezuela. Se prepara todo el contexto y el ambiente para una arremetida de la derecha local y global, con todo su andamiaje mediático, para poner en duda los resultados de las elecciones del 28 de julio e…

I think we're now at a sufficient distance from our Red-Headed League read that I can post this note from the Annotated, of Dorothy L Sayers being very rude about Holmes - I didn't want to spoil the atmosphere at the time, as I am very attached to that scene

dafuque. John Labanowski plays Athelney Jones in REDH (1985) as English and amiable and Emrys James plays Inspector Athelney Jones in SIGN (1987) as obstructive with Welshness set to max.

Granada Homes Season 2 thoughts
(again, straight from the notepad app)
--
1. COPP (7 aug)
Well i didn't recognise the title at first bc i read the story in Romanian and the translation was. Different than i would've expected. But yeah. I think i said "oh i did read this" three or four times.
The guy was... creepy. And i did not enjoy the telling-funny-stories bit. I'm usually not impressed with "and this is the ending of a very funny story!" *Everybody laughs* bits in tv shows/movies, i can only remember one time** where this sort of thing made me laugh. But... Yeah. Were we supposed to find him funny then? Miss Hunter did. Anyway, it just seemed extra creepy to me.
I think my favourite part was Holmes talking about the dangers of remote rural areas. I mean. He's right.
**The pool story from Doctor Who S4Ep10 Midnight. Here it is, 1:02
2. GREE (8 aug)
Watson being shocked that Holmes has a brother:))
The quiet bit in the club was actually a bit creepy. Unsettling at least.
Also i think Watson was trying to guess which one was Mycroft.
Was that one child tripping unscripted? Seemed so.
I loved the train scenes. Oh and i loved the scene where that guy falls out and Holmes has too phisically hold back both Sophia and Watson. Poor Watson seemed genuinely horrified even tho the guy was a murderer.
Bonus:
Me: Look!! They're holding hands!!
Roommate: Uh. A man just died?
Me: And? :D
3. NORW (9 aug)
Oo i enjoyed this one.
I had no idea what was gonna happen, did not read the original story.
Obviously the premise was pretty cool, i kinda called that he faked his death to blame the boy but still.
I love seeing Holmes in disguise.
Also, the part with Watson coaxing him to eat something?? Bro when i tell you i teared up. He was so gentle with him. *Massive sigh* I love them sm...
Also when Holmes motioned for that housekeeper to go away? He almost killed both of us in one go- i choked on air, my roommate choked on her drink. He's so drmatic, he's a danger to society (affectionate)
Also both me and my roommate wanted to kick Lestrade in the face at some point.
Yeah
4. RESI (10 aug)
"What in the magnus archives is going on?"
Twas a nightmare.
I liked this episode. Fun fact: i am currently midway thru this story in the books. So. Pretty cool. Yea.
Man i was so proud of Watson for deducing stuff about Holmes and then Holmes was like nahh actually you're very wrong
(I did guess he was tapping to a song tho, it was pretty obvious)
...i must say. The... Vocabulary in this episode. ...interesting. 👀
Does Holmes really not know where he keeps his papers?
Poor Mrs Hudson tho :((
I actually saw that *enters the room* *screams* scene a couple years ago, but i didn't know what adaptation it was from.
5. REDH (11 aug)
Mhmmmmmhmhm i dont like thissssssss
I know this story very well and i did not. Expect Moriarty.
I mean it makes sense bc the next one is the final problem (mmmmm😞😞) but i didn't quite put two and two together
[Also i kinda expected them to be lazier and just introduce him at the beginning of FINA]
Umm but yeah about the episode. As i said, i knew the story, one of my favourites since i was a child.
I really loved Watson this episode. He gets to explain Holmes' deductions again. Oh and the part where he was trying not to laugh while the client talked about the letter A.
I guess both him and Holmes lost it at "artificial kneecaps"
Yet another episode where someone doubts Holmes' abilities. (Tho this one was slightly less annoying about it)
"Amateur"
Hm
At least Watson jumped to correct him
Oh and i think my brain had an error at the end when Holmes lights Watson's cigarette while speaking french. Like i had subtitles but i have no idea what he said.
Roommate didn't catch it either ("for the best, i choose to believe he was telling Watson he loves him:))" )
Also: Holmes at the concert looked like a cat. A very pleased cat
Also also: If i ever jump over a couch to get someone to stay with me and it's not a life-or-death situation, consider me absolutely smitten.
But.. yk.. that's just me 🤷
6. FINA (11 aug)
Well it certainly got my heart pounding
The first five minutes or so were actually the worst i think
I mean to say, he looked more in control of himself at the end than in those first 5 minutes. Like i legit almost started crying seeing him scramble for his life like that. Horrible
Mrs Hudson wanting to celebrate...... Stop..
Did NOT enjoy looking at Watson through that sniper's lens. (+ I had Bbc Sherlock flashbacks)
Honestly about the whole middle part.. i don't know what i can say that has not been said. Them in the dark, with only a candle, the "will you come with me" part, Watson rushing to the train and looking so worried bc he wasn't seeing Holmes
*Sigh*
And the fuckin letter. The fact that Holmes knew it had to be a trick but he didn't wanna give it away so he just. Waved him off so hurriedly.
Yea yea run along we'll meet up in a bit I'm not even gonna look at you go that's how normal this goodbye is (I'm probably never gonna see you again)
Oh and the way he rushed back when it clicked.
That's probably the first time in ~a week they were apart. And the one time he leaves him on his own...
Yeaaaah
The fight was silly. And kinda. Anticlimactic. I mean at least make Moriarty have a gun.
(He'd allow Holmes to write the letter while holding him at gunpoint. The letter is done. He approaches to execute him. Holmes lunges at him to get the gun. They struggle. The gun falls, so now they're just beating each other up. Aaand then they fall.)
But. Yeah. Poor Watson. It was a very restrained reaction but still. It was so sad to see him cry.
Oh and as if that was not enough, Watson's "this is the last time I'm telling you a story about Holmes" bit was double damage bc.. yeah. This is the last time we see this guy talk about Sherlock. This guy being the actor but still.
(Ngl it reminded me of the Doctor Who regeneration scenes)

I love the email club but this bit is so much better when you can see how much of the page Watson is taking up with just gazing at Holmes's face
Watson goes to a concert with Holmes and spends the whole time contemplating his loveliness
