(0701) Morning all … bright enough out there. (0924)

 

10. Last just for now

9. Some housekeeping

That’s the current and scheduled post list in the engine room a short while ago. Think it was good to drop Monday quiz as the questions are slowly building over the week … I’m saving to the “Try these” post you see above.

8. Notice some powerful men are hanging around her

… ah, but what’s this?

Wiki’s deciding whether they continue with her bio or not? Whyever would they do that? 🤔

After all, she’s 17 and taking the MAGA and MAHA and Elon message to the yoof of America and the world … she’s personable and bright enough … what could Wiki Woke left editors possibly object to in the kid?

7. More on this citizen journalism theme

6. Pete Hegseth appears

Incidentally, notice how many people we’d say are tough, go-getters let’s say … still manage to praise God … and then look at those it visibly upsets, to the point the latter are all for burning down churches, burning Joans of Arc, anti-sodomy bakers etc. Juss sayin’ like.

5. DAD summarised from 891

Three books that are significant today. I wonder which will be the most relevant in 10 years.

a) “Freiheit – Erinnerungen von 1954 bis 2021”, Angela Merkel. Migrant crisis and “Wir schaffen das”:

In 2015, faced with the influx of refugees, Merkel asserted that Germany could rise to the challenge with her famous slogan “Wir schaffen das”…

b) ‘Memoricide’ by Philippe de Villiers who is perfectly in touch with current events, whether national, international, economic, cultural, civilizational and of course societal. And this book is the absolute demonstration of this.

c) ‘L’Étrange Défaite’ bu Marc Bloch.

The President of the Republic has announced that Jewish historian Marc Bloch will enter the Pantheon. We can only rejoice at this decision. But has the President considered that this great patriot was the very negation of everything he represents?

JH: Quite a read over there today.

4. Today no pratty TDS, which is quite up itself now

The story:

The Daily Sceptic runs a newsletter, the red printed headlines of which I run here, as readers know. I did refer, some time back, to its paywalling on some posts but at least the top two or three were in full.

Not today … today only the first, about arctic ice increase, was in full, something Steve reported anyway, so you’d have known about it, had you wished.

The mysterious ownership tensions at the Guardian

No guarantee that that will link to the post by the way … it would not here in compose mode. Which is pratty in the extreme because we need only look elsewhere to get the tale itself:

And what are the grounds for the Grauniad writers (not going to call them journos) going on strike? It was that Tortoise is buying the Observer and going paywall. Just as TDS is trying to go.

One thing which could be said for the Grauniad was that it was at least not paywall … Codswallop and similar fantasists notwithstanding. Not just that but if you don’t like such news from Unherdables here, there are plenty of other sites around … and comment is free.

The new journalism, chaps and chapesses (we only cater for two of the sexes here).
