This really does tie in with the next post on aesthetics, and a reference to men and women in that. First of two youtubes:
Also don’t forget to check out Toodles’s url in her reply to Redacted (sidebar) … as it applies to most items posted today and yesterday, esp. the Naked Gun film.
(0541) Morning all. Right, it’s apparent, at 0724, that there’s a dearth of new poltics … North America is in bed, Downunder is quiet, early morning Brits are only just stirring now. Meaning not many post items for some hours. Meanwhile, the feature posts build up, accumulate, ones I’m itching to get going with.
I’m thinking we have to roll with the material we have, rather than trying to press it to regular columns, to search far and wide for something, anything, to fill the space. (0734)

Had to check the football score first for the new season opener … under the new head coach:
Haven’t looked at the report yet but did, last night, ask a question as to why Nick Saban had retired, moved on, as head coach and found this:
As part of the College Gameday program, Saban touched on some of the reasons for his decision to call time on his coaching career, stating: “I was really disappointed in the way that the players acted after the game. You gotta win with class. You gotta lose with class. We had our opportunities to win the game and we didn’t do it, and then showing your ass and being frustrated and throwing helmets and doing that stuff … that’s not who we are and what we’ve promoted in our program.”
He added that the players’ motivations for playing the game were another contributing factor, claiming: “I thought we could have a hell of a team next year, and then maybe 70 or 80 percent of the players you talk to, all they want to know is two things: What assurances do I have that I’m going to play because they’re thinking about transferring, and how much are you going to pay me?” Saban told ESPN.
Right … the second thing, pre contacting Toods, is that it was good that I checked the spam and trash lists first as her comment was in there … easy to see why … she mentioned Redacted whom the system here is quite cautious about now for different reasons.
The third thing is that I’m running a Toods-brought youtube after this post because it’s excellent.
The fourth thing is that we might have a difference of opinion, Toods and I … and yet not … on The Naked Gun from yesterday. She was not enamoured of the early ones, actually the one with the Queen and baseball, which is the one I posted. My feeling too, as was hers, as was the feeling of a few reviewers at IMDb … that the baseball sequence at the end was too long and drawn out … in fact, the Dodgers themselves weren’t happy with the team pile-on part … all of this is fascinating to me … all the sensitivities. Plus Toods said Priscilla Presley has gone downhill. I’ll have to ask her if the presence of Juice in the cast was also offputting.
Now, I also must warn our jazz aficionados that one of the tunes is going to be a marching band’s version of Louie Louie, which was the song used at the end of the film, played by the marching band. Weeeellll, it’s sort of jazz.
(0425) I actually got up, after a reasonable sleep, to put up a new NOWP post but DAD was already posting an hour earlier than usual, as he did yesterday. Which does show how sleep pattern or lack of pattern in both our cases does affect early morn output and the obvious question is … so what?
Still dark out there, and with no street lamps, but I can hear the swish of wet road and thought I heard rain earlier. First light appearing now, black cloud. (0532)
5. History Girl corner
I did say to Bobbie that the tone seemed similar, the use of adjectives … she acknowledged the comment and said nowt more.
4. Steve at 1145
3. It’s clear where Pippa’s bias is here
For a start, Witchend retweeted her, and he is Advance rather than Faragist, so the rest would follow and though I find Lady Pippa a sweetie … well hold on a moment, let me go find her profile … “Proud British Patriot!, Animal Welfare Officer, CPFC, opinions are my own, London” … so, so young is “our” Pippa … student? Do you see my bias even forming? And quaint … handle is “pippaisright”. Like it. Yep, she’s on the list.
2. Changed format just for today with DAD’s drop at 1145
It is only when one reads a number of headlines at the same time that a pattern becomes evident.
1. Covid and vaxx “studies”
The very spelling of vaxx and the placing of studies in quotation marks is a political statement by me … let alone that it is at The Daily Sceptic … HERE.
Why do I not post the url as an unformatted url? That’s because, in my composing window, it comes out as a large frame with border, blank inside the frame. In three attempts … someone or something is messing with it … usually it will appear as a url embedded box or else with a message that this cannot be embedded … convert to link?
Also, part of the text says, claims, exposes, asserts, whatever, that his request for a big ph*rm*c**t*c*l study’s results was refused. There is the doc’s bona fides to look at too:
Dr Raphael Lataster is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Sydney, specialised in misinformation, and a former pharmacist. This article was first published in his Substack newsletter, Okay Then News. Read more on his research and legal actions, including his recent win against the healthcare vaccine mandate in New South Wales.
Is he a doctor or “just” a lecturer? How can a normie tell? Even if an investigative normie such as me who only goes so far because DAD’s already posted and I need to get that signposted … you in turn have your own morning agenda.
So what do we do? Make the coffee or tea and retreat to our “camp’s” position on vaxxes as a result of 2020 to 2020 experiences and observations? Yes we do. My own admin posish? To at least provide sufficient links to get you to the post, which is quite link “rich” in itself … or link “ridden”, depending on your bias.
Where the heck am I after all that? Well it rather depends on which camp I’m in, not too difficult to discern.
(1524) Late afternoon, all … just been chatting a little with Steve Bannon … sorry I’m a bit late.
18. What’s the last thing on youtube I should even think of inflicting
… on you poor, unsuspecting, long-suffering readers? Yep, a British girl this time watching that movie:
She got all the gags until the baseball … but with pointed comments.
17. Sorry for this bleak one
… after we had seemed two fun femmes and a sane one in the Naked Gun post … this is back to the same old feminazi delusion and the utter ruining of womanhood and virtue.
There’s a youtuber, Jebediah, once of the View and Fox, who is caustically against girls taught that high body counts were nothing and somehow these girls still had value as humans. They don’t. Very sad indeed.
16. Think she might be connected with Bobbie
… but not sure … girls don’t give much away.

(1249) Afternoon all … cunning plan is to post both of these before I realise what a silly idea it is.
The vague idea is to explore reaction youtubes, of which there are hundreds, going into pluses and minuses … that was the idea but only now did I realise I only need compare two, both of the same film … so not only do you see the film twice, you get to see three ladies reacting … what more could you want on a Saturday afternoon threatening to rain, as it is.
Right, the film is Naked Gun (first instalment, the one with the Queen) and the nature of that 1988 film, if you recall, was that there was a romance thing with Priscilla Presley and Leslie Nielson, plus it had Orange Juice … the denouement was in the Dodgers stadium at a ball game.
The issue with both videos is youtube itself … they insist on poor quality vision, broken at intervals … thus you concentrate on the reviewer(s). To that end, every time someone talks in the first, whether film or reviewers, the vision window disappears, then comes back … very poor.
You tube offer a few options … one is that the moment a reactor speaks, he or she enlarges and goes centre frame, cutting out the film … that happens in the second reaction vid. In short, it’s a bleedin’ pain … however, if the reactors are such that you can watch and listen to her (them) for an hour … if they’re fun watching … plus you know the movie back to front anyway, then it’s entertaining.
The second reaction, which I watched yesterday, was by a French Canadian girl … more on that further down. The first is two American sisters and whilst the French Canadian was cuter and her language issues and mindset were quaint, it became apparent that the sisters, being American, were far more au fait with American gags, let alone the game of baseball, the niceties of it. So they ended up maybe more fullfilling as reactors:
Now the French Canadian girl. She seems to be back after a banning by youtube … as you watch her, you’ll realise she wouldna hurt a fly … how on earth did she offend youtube? I found myself wishing to spring to her defence, as did so many other both males and females. She was embarrassed by some of the romantic and more raunchy bits, she was trying to make sense of it … that was the entertaining part.
But then I realised just now … those watching this post are mainly Brit males … the two youtubes are more for American and French females. A most interesting exercise altogether, chaps and chapesses.
One last thing … I went to an Angels game in Anaheim once but no one was shot … there were peanuts everywhere though. And that stadium in the film was the Dodgers.
And one last, last thing … those predictions in 1988 for 2001.

a) French trade unions have called for a nationwide strike on September 18, as a political crisis deepens ahead of a confidence vote that could topple the Prime Minister and his government.
b) Britain and France are racing towards a new crisis. Borrowing costs are soaring in both countries as economists warn of the risk of an IMF bailout.
c) Polish State energy conglomerate Orlen has agreed with Synthos Green Energy, owned by Poland’s richest man, to build the country’s first small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) near the city of Włocławek.
d) A view of France from a French-Africian viewpoint.
(0613) Morning all … seems nondescript out there but still pre-commuter time. (0620)
Private Browsing
Those who’ve bothered and who are in the know have known for a long time about Tor and similar … even a cursory ggl ai search brings up a good overview.
There are many good ways to do peer to peer although I’d suggest Proton and similar are not going to cut it, except as a fallback alternative … ditto with substack and the like. Even encrypted mail systems can have back doors to major players … and I’m obviously writing now as what we might call “advanced user”.
MMutR called it superuser in one of his kinder moments and I’m suggesting that you as an onliner need to up your learning from simple user to at least “proficient” as the thought police start snaking their tentacles into everything. Andrew Torba also suggests you start using … well let me just run the text as is:
The Parallel Internet
For decades the internet has been captured by gatekeepers who built
centralized platforms, controlled the flow of information, and set
themselves up as arbiters of truth. What began as a frontier of freedom
was gradually domesticated into a system of surveillance, censorship,
and manipulation. We are no longer participants in a great marketplace
of ideas. We are subjects in their digital empire.
The concept of a parallel internet challenges this empire at its root.
It is not a replacement of the internet we know. It is an overlay, a new
dimension, a layer of truth and freedom laid directly on top of the
existing web. Instead of abandoning the vast digital commons, the
parallel internet redeems it. It takes what has been corrupted and
reorients it toward transparency, authenticity, and truth.
We learned a lot over the past month. First, Gab AI <https://gab.ai>is
powerful, innovative, and deeply desired by people who are hungry for
truth. Second, the establishment and its Big Tech enforcers fear us.
They see us as a threat to their entire system of control. Frankly, they
are right to be afraid.
In July, our AI replybot on X became a phenomenon. Within days it
reached tens of millions of views organically, generated hundreds of
thousands of replies, and grew at a rate that clearly set off alarms in
Silicon Valley. This was undeniable proof that people are desperate for
AI tools that tell the them the truth.
After only two weeks, X shut it down. They could not allow something
unapproved and uncontrollable to flourish on their platform. Soon after,
we received a cease and desist letter from the legal team at xAI, a
frontier AI company valued at nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars.
Their demand was that we remove Grok from our dashboard because our own
AI model, Arya, was now seen as a direct competitor.
Think about that. A small, community-funded, American project is now
recognized as a threat by one of the largest AI companies in the world.
That is the highest validation we could ever receive and a badge of
honor. What we are building truly matters. Shortly after this we were
also banned by our payment processor and have spent the past few weeks
rebuilding our payments infrastructure from scratch and finding new
partners, losing tens of thousands of dollars in the process.
*None of this will stop us. Our best ideas always come from necessity
while under fire.* These recent attacks pushed us to ask a larger
question: why should we ask permission to exist on one platform at all?
Why not build something that works everywhere, beyond their reach,
outside their rules, and beyond their control?
That question brought us back to our roots. Years ago, we launched
Dissenter. It was a browser extension that created a universal
free-speech comment section on every URL across the internet. When
Chrome and Firefox banned it, we built our own browser with the
technology built in. Maintaining a full browser was too resource-heavy
at the time, but the idea of a parallel layer across the internet never
died. It simply waited for the right time and the right technology.
That time is now.
Today I am proud to announce the rebirth of that vision. Supercharged
with Gab AI, we are releasing version one of the Gab AI Browser
Extension
<https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gab-ai/pomgefapfdpdficbbpdpjnianmgeoikk?hl=en-US>.
Click here to watch a video and see how it works
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC0kFcUyXTI>
For now the functionality is simple. The extension adds a Gab AI button
to every X post and instantly generates insightful, context-aware
replies. This is our beachhead. It is the first step in a much larger
plan. We are not only building an extension. We are building a parallel
internet. A new layer of truth, context, and free speech built directly
on top of the existing web.
*What if we could erase their lies automatically?*
Imagine every corner of the web transformed. A mainstream media article
no longer appears as an authoritative block of text, but as a document
instantly annotated by an AI that highlights bias, fact-checks claims,
and contrasts propaganda with reality. A Wikipedia page, once controlled
by anonymous editors and activist mobs, is instantly rewritten to
reflect historical truth, sourced by independent communities rather than
captured institutions. On X or any other platform, every post becomes a
springboard into deeper, freer dialogue, unbound by arbitrary rules or
the censorship of moderators.
The parallel internet does not require permission. It exists everywhere
people install it. It cannot be removed by banning a single app store
listing or deleting one domain. It spreads horizontally, peer to peer,
powered by the people who choose to adopt it. Like faith, like truth,
like freedom itself, it does not beg to exist within the confines of the
regime. It simply exists, and in existing, it reshapes everything it
touches.
What we are building is not an app, not an extension, not even a
platform. It is a new layer of the internet itself, one that cuts
through the lies and restores the internet to its true purpose: the free
exchange of ideas in service of truth.
