This morning’s theme is about showing the inner workings of my “redacting brain” whenever, first thing in the morning, I open first the mail, then comments at HQ and at NOWP, plus scroll down my X homepage for anything basically new happening.

Anything earlier Steve probably caught last evening.

This process does tend to push me more and more to the centre, as both sides’ opposed takes on any given issue fill the column inches. Apart from straight out globery and wokery, which I skip past, I do at least try to look through, unless there’s clickbaitery going on. Time is too precious … it’s 0342 now, I have OoL to post, plus DAD kicks in early morn, plus there’s an NOWP issue today.

I have to wait for DAD to complete 1389 before starting 1390, because Steve has a youtube better up at NOWP 1390:1 … these sorts of decisions are happening the whole time.

All right, have a quick look at this, my comments page inside … first two from the top Steve’s, the two below IYE’s:

The decision process … Elon is a problem in that he makes redaction difficult on X:

The sheer ugliness of that huge black subscribe button is offputting if quoting, so I’d cut it out and just say it’s Elon. If you need the url, it’s in comments as you see. Were I to run it in the post, it would expand and it does not bring anything new this morning, plus the column inch requirement is too much.

By the way … to get the Doge Designer post, I’d have to click and expand … but lose Elon’s post in the process. It’s not designed for reportage or quoting.

The youtube is for 1390, not up yet as I await DAD up to two hours from now.

All right … IYE’s big comment … well put together of course but this leah he’s latched onto … highly biased anti-Trump, as Massie, Cornyn etc. are. That’s an issue in the US just now due to traitor Thune preventing the programme Donny was elected for. Yes, you can well argue against Iran, plus Argentina (coming up) but Thune is damaging the internal programme.

Anyway, the link works in comments.

Tulsi resignation is quite worth a read … shall quote IYE on that. (Post ends at 0407 by the way … coffee and toasted teacake time. Light coming up outside.)
