7. DAD at NOWP today
Right … well, we’ve a situation again and readers were asked over and over to euphemise at NOWP, to code certain core words, otherwise it would cause them trouble later, plus cause me. Did I make the law in Westminster? It was our Beloved Sausage, n’est-ce-pas?
There are patterns we look for … with DAD, the drop comes into NOWP between about 0500 and 0545 as a rule … it’s rare when it doesn’t, my first thought was DAD’s health. Because I was posting other things, I thought to come back later … then DAD 2 pinged … aha!
Went to 1085 … he seems to have posted DAD 1 earlier, possibly around the usual time. There was a notice about it in DAD’s text. So I went looking:
So … nothing in spam, nothing in trash, let’s see over in my mailbox. Nope, nothing had come in at all from DAD … oh hang on, DAD 2 just arrived. Ok … check spam and bin. Two in spam, both DAD, with a notice for me:
Uh huh. 1075 and 1077 they were. Yet afa I know, both those were up at NOWP. So … why did DAD 1 today not show any sign of even being received? Well, we could go all day with this … Macron and whoever the PTB in France are, there’s British law, outlawing any reference to a certain cult, on pain of being swatted and prosecuted, there is the US WP itself, Apple, BT, ipad … any number of gremlins could have caused it.
Thing was … no sign whatever, esp. not in my inbox, which is quite significant. Now … it’s not just a one-off … we’re allocated naughty points, sort of like on UK roads … not only the comment author but the admin, over time. Anyone remember July 26th at N.O.? It would be very, very nice if NOWP did not go down, as there are sites and codes running off it.
Therefore I’m going to have to censor … for reasons which are obvious. Use some other term than those anathema to the PTB, or I’ll have to change it in the text myself (euphemise). What concerns me more is that the comment did not appear at all … in other words, pre-crime removal, as in Minority Report.
There’s one more thing … any current post on NOWP, I can’t access … not officially … they’ve changed the theme permissions. All right … here’s bowdlerised DAD 2 (no sign anywhere of DAD 1):
”French justice learned, based on information from British authorities, that this 39-year-old man, a British citizen who played the role of the groom supposed to marry a child, “has been convicted in the past, notably for sexual offenses against minors,” Meaux prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier stated in a press release.”
Hmmmm … apart from the word Uke, I see nothing else in there which they could object to, hence it went through in both places. I’m now going to need a hiatus to go back through NOWP some distance and “adjust one or two pieces of text”. See y’all soon.
……
Job done, back again at 1150.
6. I’d say don’t use that mark of the beast at all
When a chap starts his output
Interesting that this below came up around the time I was watching that French girl watching the Everly Brothers, born 1937 and 39 … Dream, Dream, Dream. Before it started, I knew, anyone knew, she’d swoon and go for their harmonies. Why, she asked, don’t they play such songs (1958) on the radio these days? They’re good, the song is so good, she said.
Moving on … why would I watch her vlog and why are females featured so much, out of all proportion, having follower counts even in the millions. Mea Culpa. Then up came Chris Spargo and he told the story of how he became a youtuber. In male terms, he has a large follower base and not all are girls … many chaps enjoy the deadpan delivery, the minutiae he goes on about.
It wasn’t gripping … and then I started thinking … we boys really are up against it building bases … it’s entirely on what info we present, not how pretty our ankle is, not our fluttering eyelids and smile. I like this chap’s output because it’s lowkey … it’s just one of us in a way.

Finding good “B”s is a painstaking process, from copy quality to known actors to those actors to avoid … and so it goes on. Had to pass over Abandoned and I’ve Lived Before … well acted, good copy but the subject matter not really “entertainment”.
So today, back to one of the old “A”s we’ve had twice already I’m thinking:
Monday [16 to 20]
(1205) Afternoon all. (1226)
20. The demonrat game
19. Oil
18. The gang of three at the top are bad news
17. Credit where credit’s due
16. How to be raped or murdered
Croydon airport
Monday [11 to 15]

15. More global theatre
14. Are they also blowing up Mosques and Synagogues?
Think on’t dot dot dot …

11. First item at TDS today
“When one thinks of the ‘police’, one still thinks I suppose of dedicated men and women fighting crime and arresting bad guys. But according to Mr Ritchie, the role of the police is actually something rather different – not so much the stern disciplinarian element of state authority enforcing public order, but rather the compassionate and nurturing arm of the mother hen executive.
Hence, the police do not do anything so prosaic as patrol the streets and deter crime. No: what they do is ensure that “everyone is able to thrive and flourish knowing they are valued for their true and authentic selves”. The police, you see, are there to combat “isolation” and the feeling that people might get that they are “unwelcome” or “rejected”.”
