2. HQ disaster

Chaps and chapesses … if you’d been following the past hour here, you’d have seen items 1 to 4 slowly go up … 2 was DAD, 3 was Steve and 4 was IYE. It’s the most work-intensive part of the day, requiring jumping from HQ to NOWP and back, then highlighting Four Three Two etc., greening it using hex code and in DAD’s case, also reading and summarising. Item 4 was a note to IYE after his comment in the sidebar.

There’s over an hour’s work at a critical time of the day pour moi. Saved it, checked it was fine, went off to do a domestic chore involving next door. Came back, opened this post again … guess what? Items 2, 3, 4 completely gone. On both ipads.

No matter, thought I, the thing which always kicks in is the WP notice in a cross screen panel at the top, which says there’s an older autosave, would I like to see it? Yes please. Then … restore this autosave? Yes of course … all back to normal. Most useful, that WP function.

To gather how much work is involved in the opening hour each day, go to any previous day’s opening items at HQ and look. Also, to answer the obvious question that maybe I forgot to save … I always save once the [1 to 4] in the heading goes in … meaning I always type that and instantly click save, wait for the lit “save” to go faded … that means saved. But it hardly matters, as the WP notice appears anyway if there’s a glitch.

Yes, you guessed it … WP this one time singularly failed to show the panel today, I can say first time ever it’s failed … meaning there was no way to get back to the previous revision. In short, the summaries of DAD, Steve, IYE were gone, matey, into the ether. The sole proof they were ever here is in the heading as it is now … [1 to 4] … that only ever goes up as the last thing before save.

P’d off? Mightily. Why oh why did WP choose now, of all times, to fail to display its regular service?

Well, the most charitable answer I can come to is that yesterday’s HQ troubles wiped this facility away … that is, WP no longer offer this failsafe at HQ. That’s the most charitable thing I can say. Less charitable is that some gremlin has got inside HQ but unless it evaded my techie’s eyes as well, I can’t see that being the reason.

All right … am I going to do that hour’s work over again? Am I hell as like … esp. as readers can simply go to NOWP itself or in the sidebar here and see the originals for themselves. Me? I’m having a coffee instead, ready to start the second post of the day. Sorry me. Plus Toodles has just written. The day has started, the sun is out.

1. Manouevering the public

TDS has an article on some European poll saying young females are far more likely to vote Woke leftwing than males … I’d say based largely on the German result and rather than join in with this thing, even with Pam Bondi’s refusal to do as she promised and DJT saying nothing, but with my own hobbyhorse of not being drawn into men attacking women in argument, as my argument is that the two sexes MUST work together, marry and start producing babies …

… well, you can see where all this is going. This poll came out of Scandinavia (natch) and the Woke, globo-communist trend is all for splitting male – female and wedging the gap even wider. Whoever commissioned the bollox poll (see TDS) clearly had an agenda, an agenda which my own post yesterday, including that Orwell quote in black, did nothing to dissipate. Manipulation plus.

Even my own neighbours are split that way. He is well aware of the imported army of fighting age males waiting to be given the word, she though actually said to me that it’s not just them … there are plenty of men from here threatening girls … yes, that’s so and I asked why so, then said because they have no respect for the female these days, easy meat … she agreed before realising what that meant.

And so it goes … we hardly need to spell it out, no? Meanwhile, why did Bondi say she had the list on her desk? My current surmise is that she was doing her boss’s bidding, so she gets the heat, not him, from MAGA … in other words, carrying a big stick so that the baddies do as Donny says or else. The moment it’s announced, the power is gone. Nuff for now.

(1625) Evening all … wasn’t today fun.

Plus:

… there might be other explanations too.

 

Sometimes, it’s certainly attack, as it was this morning at HQ, the Chinese and Russky spam off the scale, then some toerag half-inched the security certificate at HQ at midday.

It certainly could be any of a few reasons … often a glitch … my techie advises, good reader, and I do suggest he be heeded … that there’s nowt major here … the backenders do change policy now and then.

His advice is to bide your time … go do a chore or errand, visit others, come back later, say mid-afternoon. The time to be concerned is if it’s still down or under the hammer by next morning.

In the meantime, as I’d need to put a notice up somewhere for you, think it best to change the priority order of Unherdable blog notifications to this order:

1. HQ
2. Jstack
3. NOWP
4. UHC
5. X
6. Gab
7. One of my fellow blogger’s sites
8. OoL
9. One of my oft-visited vlogs
10. Via phone to a friend who’d post what we’d discuss.

Right, I’m advised it’s now fixed so 🍿🍿🍿… and sorry for the inconvenience as they say. Anyway, you didn’t miss much. ☺️

Exploring the Bs is quite a task … quite a few duds from back then too, plus some themes are a bit outdated in some ways, though the paranoia is quite up to date in 2025.

What makes a good film? You tell me … but in my case, the atmosphere of the time is big … the dress, manners, what they did, how they did it … and the characters.

Which does bring me to names … call me wrong but there are some actors … if I see the name, I click away … actors like Barbara Stanwyck, a real hoe, Lucille Ball, Borgnine, Cagney, the dirty rat, never Bob Hope … it goes on. One I do (sort of) like is Sterling Hayden, William Powell … there are a few… Ruth Roman in this is fine.

AKH in comments again.

14. And those full of killers too

13. That list

I have another theory you know, I call it my Theory N2 and it’s all mine only … that Trump-Bondi were waiting to see who broke cover after her warning about the desk … and no one experienced in corruption did … not the big players.

12. The young female can be unreadable

On the surface, looks good … tatt free, no nosebones, no ring on thumb, no multicoloured hair etc. but then the words come out, the wrongheadedness … and it’s such a pity, such a waste:

11. The three letter sites

10. Sometimes a pundit, esp. on Gab

… can tirn out to be iffy in some of his hobbyhorses, and yet he’s worth a look all the same:

(1034) Took me a few seconds I’m afraid:

It just reinforces that we’re probably all politicked out just now, needing to take a break, do some chores, plus I did want to return sometime to the Unherdables motif, the fictional backstory of:

The Lighthouse Tavern

There are four main pictures after the initial one of the cat below the No Dogs sign

… which was not looking to get too far as the site motif. This appeared next:

… the notion of the Beacon having been used by many a pundit … seemed it needed some way to get a tavern into the picture, as Amfortas had. So why not add to the tale by having a shallow bay around to our left of the rocky promontory:

We need to suspend disbelief or noticing how the pics don’t quite reconcile but this might have been a view from the carpark at night:

This one seemed to me to have to be in the mix somehow:

… as a lounge connected to the tavern but maybe at the back of the property where the rivermouth moves into the river proper.

So we have the landlord’s quarters somewhere near the lighthouse, then the taproom, the lounge bar, this other lounge by the river, stables somewhere on the site, all sorts of outhouses and plenty of sheds … a chapel somewhere there for those of the faith, those needing solace, maybe a bike shed … then possibly a short way up the river … this:

Maybe the landlord hands the near-lighthouse digs over to son or daughter dear and grandchn, while he/they retire to the houseboat. Whatever, whichever … it’s a most attractive spot on the coastline and as such … prime property desired by unsavoury moneybags stationed on the Isle of Man.

Best not to over-specify, best to leave most of the backstory to your own imagination but it does allow this landlord-patron thing, plus drop-bys, support staff etc. … needs a bowls green too, maybe a croquet lawn.

Also, it’s necessary to have the place pretty remote from the mainstream, not too accessible … those visiting having to get through some fairly poor roads in … in other words, not a natural resort for most … and the lighthouse tavern, which by some eccentricity is called Unherdables, is known of by quite a few but the landlord and patrons are an acquired taste, not really a hub of bonhomie for outsiders, not explaining how to get around to the different parts …

… thus the numbers visiting are down around a manageable level, just as the Unherdables like it … plus they are doing a job there … the light each night and each dark early morn.

Why bother with any sort of backstory? Well … er … it’s nice I suppose. And we’ll drop that Morrisons idea, thank you very much. Supplies come in by boat. (1122)

4. The DEI conundrum

First look at this from TDS today:

Amanda Pritchard has stepped down from her role as Chief Executive of NHS England amid growing discontent with the state of the health service and the “complacency” of its leadership. The Telegraph has more.

Whilst there’s a certain amount of being thrown on her sword in this … in other words, it’s not all her fault … she was allowed to preside, a la Pam Landy (in Bourne) for the death knell, just as Marissa Mayer was for real with Yahoo, just as Rachel from Accounts is now … I suspect some very real misogyny in those above her in each case, “knowing” she’d fail, as the whole deep state fourth turning idea was that she’d fail … Cressida Dick, Joyce Thacker, the whole shower of non-comps … Priti Patel, Caroline fashion couch Flint, Paula London of late with her hot swimsuit shots on X, assuring slavering men that her “lady bits” aren’t showing … whilst all that’s happening, showing “Women” as narcissistic non-comps, sort of lesser men in a way … at the same time, focus on the so-called men …

…Biden, Starmer, Brown, Call Me Dave, Schiff … it goes on and on in a different way … incompetence plus massive ego and short fuse … you’d have to conclude, really, that we’re not seeing the best of specimens in key roles … and those who are half ok at their jobs are just too old or too Gen X fanatical.

If one of them is halfway competent at her job, such as it is, such as Karoline Leavitt, then you delve, you find she’s married to a man 32 years her senior … in short, we never see much of the trad style senior commander, quite capable, keeps on his known rails.

And don’t forget one reason for DEI hires, esp. in HR:

That was posted, by the way, by a competent woman, a colleague.

Is it ascribing way too much cleverness to baddies in the deep state or are they, in reality, just as incompetent? Or is someone actually most competent, knowing that clearing out this riff-raff by eccentric and narcissistic Trump will leave the country seriously undermanned or womanned by competent people?

Especially as what they’re being taught at school and university is poor quality and ideological … so even clearing out the flotsam is just going to leave gaping holes? And Nole and his Big Ball bright boys? 🍿🍿🍿.

To my mind, it was DEI ATC again or foreign language pilot(s) but 🍿🍿🍿.

1. Film review and other matters

One of the nice parts of this blogging lark is how unpredictable and dynamic it is … for example, I’ve just gone back through till Feb 2nd, looking for AKH’s film reviews. You’ll find them signposted below the film itself. No requests, no expectations, no pack drill but still nice. It does require clicking on the post header though to bring up the separate page and comment below. Or on the comments link.

…..

At the same time, another unpredictable item (has become so) is the baroque (or thereabouts) music. Yesterday turned out not possible but today I have two pieces … immediate thought is to split them and run on Wednesday and Sunday morns.

……

My replying to comments … you may have seen AKH’s method of replying to all comments at his place in one reply comment. Again, there’s no hard and fast on this here, esp. with late commenters. So far, I’ve commented below your comment, as JH … remember, with WP, as distinct from blgr, comments can be edited later.

My own JH comment I’d like to be one line or so … if more substantial, it should be in the body of the post… either-or, not both. With your short comments, sometimes they don’t really require a reply from me … again, there’s no hard and fast on it … a tome does not always require my reply … something with links usually gets a mention in the body of the post. Keeping it all “take as it comes” for now.

……

Toodles brought up something about the old N.O. way back … that it was more “free” to comment at but she added that times change and now one has to be more careful. She still likes the site but it’s tighter, let’s say. My feeling is no hard and fast but we do need to adjust to the changed policies, e.g. of WP, YT.

Talking with MMutR about Xes which sometimes expand, sometimes come as a panel, sometimes as a url, sometimes not at all, so I need to euphemise. One way around, as with Grifty, is for me to lift it and put it at NOWP.

……

Some items people post are full of the grisly mooshes of horrid people or some violence … I for one do NOT wish to see those displayed and might “forget” to repost the item. There was an exchange on X:

A recent miscreant was dear Lisa reality (profile pic in red) who wrote: “Toilet pull chain” … with an attached face of some vile creature with nose ring, bits sticking out here and there … ewwwww, ugggggh … so I checked my options. Did not wish to block Lisa but sometimes there’s no option. Fortunately, there was a “not interested in this” option, I clicked, it disappeared, she’s still unblocked.

I’m not sure which part of “vile, not wanted on my timeline” so many of our lot fail to understand, feeling they must inflict it on us … not me … sorry, call me precious, call me genteel, but there’s enough ugliness around as it is. Bliss Beach was right.

(1450) Afternoon all … hope y’all behaving. (1701) Evening y’all now.

 

24. In response to Steve

This horror was always going to happen – still going on..

On Feb 11 & Feb 19, house oversight sent a letter to the DOJ asking for status on releasing the Epstein files as well as JFK etc.

The DOJ has not responded.

Reaching out on X because we can’t seem to get a response from the AG.@AGPamBondi what is the status of the…

— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) February 25, 2025

Why the delay? This stuff is dynamite, that’s why. For JFK methinks a second shooter (more than one = conspiracy) delivered the kill shot to the right temple at the hairline, and the CIA/SS covered it up. As for Epstein its a diplomatic earthquake involving presidents and royalty.

… IYE responds:

Us unherdables have been on this since at least 2016. In the last release (under DJT’s last go-round) it was revealed that there were at least two shooters.

Here’s some things I kept in the vault.

Gosh! Just noted the date of that paper which I read shortly after MM put it out – 2009! Doesn’t time fly?! 🙂 It was only about 15 or so pages back then.
