3. Repeating myself here but

• Have a robust, organised set of your own archives somewhere, esp. in dead tree
• Have a list of ‘trusted’, ‘usually trusted’, ‘hobbyhorse-prone’ etc. etc.
• Don’t visit lazily.

Meaning … by all means visit to pick up snippets … that’s our main job, the magpie mind. But some of you are more thorough … you deep dive, you have a life, you have little time for anything else, certainly not running a series of blogs. But the combination of all of us in a small, unherdable meeting up … ah, that’s quite different … it’s useful. But not too useful. Too useful sees us swatted, as N.O. was.

Evaluate names … there are two here:

I don’t know this Claire Wills but she seems an honest, concerned lass … women are most concerned nowadays. John R is one of our lot … a gruff unherdable.

2. IYE had

“Some history.

The Sea Island Conspiracy

Don’t be surprised if Elon eats crow under orders from his techie backers. They want him close to Donny.”

……

JH: It’s a home truth that you the reader cannot really do all this unless:

You are of sufficient age to know who Pat Buchanan is, why he dropped out, a la Farage and TBP and remember that comment by Tom on mine being a magpie mind. Thus I point you to Jstack, quiet, relatively unassuming … but look at Mark Matis’s constant warnings, put those with IYE’s symbolism and plain sight warnings, esp. back to N.O. days, plus Steve’s filtering and his own bkgd, p,us my own reply to Redacted in comments yesterday, plus what he points to.

We don’t do central link lists, registers here … it’s truly up to your due diligence to keep your own archiving … I do some, we all here do much … but we can’t cover everything, it’s an unrealistic expectation, esp. given our age and state of health.

We constantly look for snippets in passing, e.g. look at Flaxen Saxon in Scriblerus in blogrolls. This is not wisdom on my part … it’s just experience … with many of you too. Memory is a precioys commodity, yes? But memories of a dozen of us are that much more enhanced.

But so are ‘false prophets’, appearing to be what they’re not. See … we have to sort those out in our minds too. Etc. etc. Nuff for now.

1. Summarising a complex series of issues

CLICK5: Timing The Swamp Womp Womp Womp…

These are my takeaways from the Elon/Kash/Rogan things …

• Talk of Elon and an America Party for the midterms, backed by the Demonrats as they have no one else.
• Kash Patel says he was swatted. Says. Says. Ok?

Then:

In our sidebar:

Roobee “seems” locked into the free WP security filter which can be set at various levels. I get in because of long association … Redacted is relatively unknown there, hence the 3rd degree. This is why our security here does rely on my eventual oversight, but all WP using the platform has at least a modicum of their oversight …

… which they can’t be blamed for in one sense, protecting themselves from wrecking, DDOS, that sort of thing … even rogue site admins.

It truly is wild west.

Then we come to what you don’t see unless a techie … all sorts of minor glitches, obstacles in the composing of posts, in which I could go on for pages as to what prevents this post item even getting to you and the moves which must ge made to get around it.

I’m no techie but am a mid-tech or ‘super-user’, so I see many traps but not the vast majority of them.

And don’t forget that much of that above was on X, ‘disgruntled’ Elon’s site, run by WEFer Yaccarino. Juss sayin’. Ditch it? Not at this stage … it’s still part-reliable. That’s the state of play.
