(1430) Afternoon all. Have to head off for awhile. (1708)

 

20. Gab editorial just now

“The modern internet is no longer a neutral space where people exchange information and argue about reality. It is an immense network of algorithms deciding what billions of people see, what they don’t see, and what they will believe happened.

How is it that in 2026 when we have billions of devices with cameras and high speed internet all over the world we aren’t seeing any footage of what is going on in Iran or Israel? We saw more back in the early 2000’s with the war in in Iraq than we do now. 

The reason for this is because platforms like X, Facebook, TikTok and others rely heavily on automated moderation systems and AI-driven tools that scan the entire network in real time. Content can be flagged, limited, or removed within seconds, long before the public ever has a chance to see it let alone debate it.

Censorship is only half the story. The other half is narrative warfare.”

16. Three pieces of bad news

There are conflicting statements about the remainder of the Persian girls squad. The timestamp said it was an hour or so ago. One shot saw the remaing girls holding on to each other’s arms in a line, heading for the plane.

One report said that some of the girls, far from trying to escape, were dragging others onto the plane.

A different report said Albanese failed to stop the flight. We’ll just have to wait.

Second is Starmer, introducing legislation that you are far-right if you are for the attack on Iran, plus some other creepy law they’ve reintroduced … more later.

Found the other reintroduced legislation … scapping jury trials.

 

Having replied to Lord T this morning about attribution, suddenly here comes an older post with a film. Not only is it not YT but it’s no other I recognise, plus there is nothing written anywhere.

HERE

Not only that but not sure I should run a review of the film this time from IMDb. Mysterious. If it does not appear for you there, then sorry but it does not appear.

(1117) Happy elevenses, all. (1152)

 

15. Look at Spain today

13. Well of course, DEI feminazi

12. The Nomadic

Whether this song below was redolent of Tull or Tull were redolent of Krautrock band Mythos (with Mythoett below) … jury is still out. The Germans certainly listened to English speaking bands and did their own thing, incorporating ideas from elsewhere.

About five years after this, I had my weekly radio show … we prerecorded it on reel to reel which the studio considered good enough to run as was. Bands ranged from Hawkwind to Tangerine Dream to Ducks Deluxe, not so much ELP, Floyd etc. Amon Duul were big at that time.

In gathering for this post, this appeared, concerning Robert Plant’s disdain for Tull:

7. Housekeeping note for laymen-intel-droppers

Storage space at blogs is measured in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes. NOWP has a total of 3Gb available to me … it’s already 19 years old, the site. UHC-WP has 1Gb total available. HQ has around 2Tb or so.

YouTube is irrelevant in the calculation as I’m using their own storage, ditto with Rum***. All those X clips are on X’s storage. However, if you load an MP4 or similar in comments, and I upload that, then that cuts a fair way into the HQ space. If on the other two sites, it just about kills them off.

Steve has put a link to an MP4 in comments … fine, it’s accessible, but it must remain where it is. In a similar way, I cannot upload or download a film, game, podcast, unless it is with a recognised host whose space it uses. Example is Internet Archive.

The average post item here, with screenshots, is around 250Kb, compressed, not a lot at HQ, negligible in fact. At UHC-WP though, it’s a killer. At NOWP, it’s straining remaining space.

A text “drop” at NOWP uses around 80-100Kb all up … negligible even there, esp. in comments. So, dear reader, that’s the rationale on what we can load, what we can’t.

6. Fairey Delta 2

10 March 1956. The first aeroplane to exceed 1,000 mph in level flight was a Fairey Delta 2, British supersonic research aircraft. Piloted by Lieutenant Commander Lionel Peter Twiss, it reached a speed of 1,132 mph. pic.twitter.com/opo2F6IfLQ

5. That monstrosity again

4. Steve corner

JH: see last night’s post comments. Paraphrasing what Andrew was saying … we have to get to a position where they’re more frightened of us, see us as the truthtellers, than the evil muvvers, backed by all that money and state power.

JH: Steve updated the Persian girls in comments and this lady now updates both of us:

JH: Plus from Donny, via Steve:

I and many others say amen. Quite unthinkable not to do this.

2. DAD at 1317

a) Europe has become the world’s largest importer of major arms, with purchases more than trebling in recent years, according to new data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

b) ‘ProtectEU’ Is the EU’s Latest trojan horse against freedom. While appearing reasonable and necessary when taken individually, these measures collectively build an ecosystem of repression of which that East Germany’s Stasi could only have dreamt.

c) Need more manure for energy but deplore its production? EU left with bullshit. Germany’s ruling coalition may be an awkward marriage of ideological rivals, but it does benefit from the absence of the Greens ….

d) George Orwell’s final warning – Picture of the future.

These five athletes are currently in a safe location and have announced their joining of the national revolution of Iran’s Lion and Sun.”

7. Just posted on X

On Quora this a.m., one line stood out for me: “Identify the danger point, then step back a couple of steps. Do not play that game.” All of us make statements, consider options, stay just behind the line unless something seems right, otherwise no.

“I was with a start-up company where there were a lot of young professionals (office staff). There were quite a few married young women and single young men. The women were married to basically blue-collar men. These men did not come up to par with the young men in the company in terms of pay or sufficiency. This does not bode well for their marriage, but it was not a total deal breaker.

The second part is that they started to flirt with the men in the company, and they flirted back. I used to call it dancing on the line (between what you should be doing and what you should not be doing). It depends on your vows, your strength, or your integrity to protect you from straying. A dangerous dance. It did not work; they slipped over the line. All that does not work, it takes the smarts to not play, to not dance, to not slip over the line.

Identify the danger point, then step back a couple of steps. Do not play that game.
