… or “you can never go back”.

There was a blogger I had quite a soft spot for:

As he said himself near the end: “The ciggies have done for me.” There was a photo of him in that last post, he said it was the last one. I notice that Tom Paine has done a blog migration … he can explain it:

A Faithful Archive: 19 Years of Blogging History

That’s interesting that everything’s come across from Typepad to WordPress … The Slog went t’other way … Ghost. I also revisited Ross Fountain and at the top of his sidebar, guess what I found?

Typepad is closing and I know a guy

Now isn’t that interesting … I’m thinking the guy could be either DK or Lord T who appears at Tom’s.

In Warren Zevon’s song Nobody’s in Love this Year, changing one of the lines produces: “the rate of attrition for bloggers like us is steadily on the rise”. Uh huh. I’m sure we can go back if we must … I did some weeks ago … fortuitous that she was just as curious as I was and we’re still in touch. One dear friend I’m still in touch with has been so for the same number of decades, give or take. I think of Chuckles and haiku too, from N.O. days.

Music … hmmm, not so sure that that’s always good to return to … I did play some Radio Birdman, Stranglers … think I’ve aged … great for their time but … we do move on. Worse was that it was depressing, as it reminded of other things, errors made, opportunities passed up, failing to understand the dynamics. No point dwelling … my new ipad air arrived today, works nicely.

Plus I really like what we have here, the humble abode is fine for now but who knows what will be in a month? New neighbours. Happy I think is the man or woman who knows what he has right now, appreciates it, knows it can be lost just like that … not poetically but in real terms.

(1715) Evening all … a bit wet and windy out there.

17. Interesting, plus a quiz question

The interesting bit was that some people seemed to like this comment. The question is … which cabinet minister was I referring to?

 

(1431) How bout that, eh? First post on new ipad air … took some setting up.

Let’s see if any pics came through:

Awwwww, ain’t that sweet! Nuff for now, still some setting up to do. Film coming up.

 

Narrator’s not bad and the footage is good but as one commenter writes … he repeats the same points over and over. Given that … maybe still worth a look:

(0700) Morning all … low Gates poisoned cloud across the sky, damp. (0946)

 

15. I’m suggesting getting thee across, dear reader

… to UHC-WP, click Redacted in the sidebar, go from there.

14. Sidelights on the vaxx and lockdown years

… in which we were the guinea pigs.

Grinning Hancock, Fauci and Birx, Gates and Brock, Pence and Pepfar, DJT’s stupid Warp Speed, the heads of the FDA and their other interests, nightingale tent hospitals, dancing tiktok nurses, empty wards and clinics, single point of truth Ahern, Northern Territory, Oz concentration camps, thug plod, armed, accosting women and children in parks and on beaches, standing on spots in the supermarket after queuing 6 feet away from anyone, never 5’10”, masks while eating out.

Care home deaths, Fredo’s brother in NYC … the most horrible people at large … Whitty, Ferguson … it goes on and on … and then the Karens. Oh yes … the Karens, inc. Andrew Neil and others here, Kimmel across the pond. The dark side of human nature.

13. Tsunami?

12. Some Brit news

11. Eyes open

I’d not generally dwell on tales of someone who was taking an acceptable line but then who started asking difficult questions or quoting Revelation 3:9, nor would I bury a link somewhere in the complex, maybe in the least likely place, of someone asking such questions … so I shan’t.

a) According to a study conducted by the CSA Institute for the JDD, Europe 1, and CNews, 72% of French people want a referendum on immigration policy in France. (…) That’s three points more than in April 2024.

b) For months, Anne Hidalgo, the socialist mayor of Paris, has refused to disclose her expense reports to the public, as required by law. Forced to do so by the courts—thanks to the tenacity of a journalist…..

c) More trouble for Macron in Africa. France has decided to expel two Malian State Security agents stationed at the Malian embassy in Paris.

d) Evil. Is Lord Brooke, sitting one seat along from the sponsor of the Bill, advocating for assisted dying as a tool of population control?

(0129) This one might go on a few hours as still in sleep mode here. (0429)

2. Zultana demonstrating her value to society

1. The Castle Principle

“Meet Patricia Kirkman-Scroope, a Queensland magistrate. Earlier this year, Aldwin Serrano, a family man in Queensland faced a terrifying home invasion. A gang of thugs smashed a window and attempted to break into his home, threatening his wife and children. In a desperate bid to protect his family, Aldwin used pepper spray to defend them and stop the attack. But instead of being commended, Aldwin was charged with unlawful possession of a category R weapon. At his court appearance, this judge didn’t just rule against him, but ATTACKED him. She called his act “a misconceived attempt to protect your property” and lectured him: “You should know the law and know that these things are prohibited.” Translation: he should have stood there, letting his family be terrorised, because in her worldview, your family’s safety is less important than the rights of hardcore criminals. Despite a clean criminal record, he was placed on a six-month $250 good behavior bond. (Yes, really). There is no justice in this country. The Department of Justice and the judiciary exist to protect criminals from you. You’re not allowed to protect your family.”
