(0500) Morning all … raining outside and in. Welcome back, my friends, to the show which sometimes ends. Both UHC venues have been checked over and appear to be operating as usual. Ta to all who left comments … they certainly helped narrow things down. (0600)

 

4. The simple factor of available time

Time certainly “speeds up” as we age and even become forgetful in some ways.

In such a situation, faced by all this, the last thing we wish to be doing is wasting time on irrelevancies such as engaging with trolls and I deleted three comments by one … a US marxist lecturer whose brother I know. When I went to add him to the blacklist … guess what? Ggl no longer offer blacklist/whitelist.

This is disturbing. Parallel to this is the Yaccarino imposed change at X whereby if you block someone, his/her posts still appear. It keeps changing, the way it’s implemented, plus another new thing is that posts are put into one’s timeline by some minion which are directly counter to what we’ve discovered or know.

There is a major difference between noting anomalies we see such as DJT admin “tightening up” social media control abd actual trolling … I may even be forced to go into TGWP to see how valid that report was, plus the Hofts describe TR as “batwing”. Really? He has huge public support and has paid for his exposures, as have Lucy Connolly and Tina Peters.

The puzzler for me is TR being accused of being a Zionist puppet through Rebel News, Ezra Levant … yet here are the Hofts, two Jewish bros, namecalling TR. Worth exploring.

Think I’ll do a separate post on the OoL troll deleted issue and libertarianism today … too many things going on, plus some friends with issues too.

a) The Palliative Care law was passed unanimously: 560 in favor and zero against. The Euthanasia law was passed by 305 votes to 199. It was almost a left v. right divsion.

b) Do you remember that when François Hollande was President he had an affair with the actress Julie Gayet ? It wasn’t just ‘cuddles’ that went on …..

c) Marcel Gauchet denounces an “authoritarian progressivism” which, under the guise of the rule of law, seeks to neutralize the popular will.

d) Météo-France published trends for expected temperatures this summer on Tuesday, May 27.
