(0921) In reply to IYE … I do hope Steve hasn’t “croaked it” white water rafting or skydiving.

7. This new page thingy
… Isilme does not like me using the term “thingy” or “thing” but the miscreant in me says that sometimes, the context cries out for a thingy or thing. Just as DAD does not like me being fraught … it has to be something being fraught “with” something.
This is my explanation at the top of the current Patron Page:
This post is intended for our tavern patrons (our intel droppers). But it’s also for any communication from a “goodie”. Naturally, a “baddie” is deleted and added to the blacklist. So yes, it’s a baddie honeypot. Here’s the cunning plan:
It might be an idea for me to open a page late evening, every evening, “just in case” and the default is “comments closed” overnight. At the same time, I look at that day’s page … if blank or no need to keep, delete to keep the number of pages down … if important, it stays up.
Next morn, upon awakening, I come to the page, do what needs doing, reset to “comments open” for the day. Rinse and repeat. Sound ok?
She does not trap too many flies or bees or wasps (two of these a plague around here, the bees are ok) … however … and this is a big however … I’ve noticed the wasps paricularly tend to avoid the window opening. I’ve seen them gather in their dozens, poised to divebomb, they do … but at the last moment, they swoop and fly back towards the nest.
There’s also a window trap. If they get in elsewhere, they generally head for the sunroom window and sadly, expire around about Enid Babe but sadly, Enid herself does not get to digest many critters. However, she laps up mineral water, positively thrives on it. So do I (with tonic … HCQ).
There’s a theory which says that she then mutates into a ravening triffid but it sounds like some’s canard to me so far.
(0549) Morning all. Enid* and I say hello. The tale of Enid will be revealed in Sat 6. Anyone seen Steve? (0843)

3. DAD at 1442
Saturday.
I notice that the two You Tubes ‘Glasgow on edge…’ and ‘ Did Widdy expose’ are [to me] now “Video Unavailable”.
I wonder if was the ‘You Tube video’ that blocked. I will try dropping the items, one by one.
a) The European Commission has proposed slowing the rate at which the EU carbon market forces companies to cut their emissions, easing the pressure on steel, cement and chemical producers that have complained about the cost of the bloc’s climate rules.
b) Italian prosecutors are investigating the captain of the ship Sea-Watch 5 for possible aggravated complicity in illegal immigration after aerial footage recorded by Frontex showed the German NGO vessel receiving migrants directly from a boat apparently operated by smugglers.
c) Arson attacks, vandalism and other acts of sabotage are increasingly disrupting Germany’s rail network, with investigators linking several incidents to far-left extremists
Deutsche Bahn, Germany’s state-owned railway operator, appears to be facing a growing sabotage problem.
d) Typhoon Bavi strikes solar parks in China giving a new meaning to “distributed energy”.
…and finally….
e) Things happen….
2. Irresponsibility
1. Of sustained assault on the little people, plus the nature of friendship
There’s an auspicious date. It might have been July 8th (why … I’ve no idea) and on or around that date, a few attacks were dropped … not just on “our type” on soc-med but on me personally … most interesting. Julia at Orphans has seen it happening as well, thank goodness I say.
Part of that is the blog NOWP which has started playing games with our contributors/droppers at the posting level. That is … it’s trying to make the experience trying. Now I already have this at Orphans, which prevents me from posting screenshots and sometimes even refuses to let me post under my account name. But there, Julia can step in to help, thank goodness.
We in this line of political “work” on soc-med are no strangers to the old conspiracy versus coincidence conundrum and this one’s a real doozie, to coin an Americanism. Oh dear, how sad, let’s move on. I’ve just posted this at NOWP in reply to our “senior member” who’s just been mucked around by the platform.
DAD, IYE, Steve, our most regular … we are almost certainly being hit. I say this from the overview of also being hit on other fronts, even from past blogging … at the same time. As IYE might ask … coinky dink?
In our line of work, we’d say no, not entirely. We’d say we’re being silenced.
Now, in practical terms, how to get our patron’s work up for people to see? I might suggest just email it to me but that might also be subject to the censors.
There is another way and that is to give a page url and you can drop it there. I can even change that page from time to time, putting a new url. You would post at that page, it is not visible to readers, my job is then copy and paste whole … first here or if that fails, then just make that page visible at HQ for readers.
Procedure, in this case for DAD and or IYE, is … go there, drop it in comments. You know I do not alter your text … at times I add a “JH”. That way, your work is not lost but not only that … it is directed in a few other directions as well for safekeeping.
Why not just do that from inception? Partly as we’ve had different inception dates for different blogs but also to avoid all the eggs in the one basket.
Anyway, see how you go and again ta muchly for your perseverance.
We are also under attack at Orphans. To be specific, a crazy nutter is trying to reopen a fight I had in 2007 … yes, that is no BS … but is also trying to drag Julia into it and that is unconscionable. However, Julia is no one’s fool, so she does what she does.
Any surprise at any of this? Not really … only that I’m not exactly a major player on the soc-med stage and that’s been intentional (traffic, empires … what are they?). I’m thinking that the intention of our fabian masters and mistresses is to suppress ALL dissent, ALL networking by the antiWokeLeft, antiGloboPsycho, to fit in with the Beloved New World order of Replacement and human misery.
Anyway, there’ll be a regular political post at Orphans, if I’m allowed, a bit later today, maybe even tonight or tomorrow morning. Y’all have a wunnerful weekend now, y’hear!
