I edited a couple of songs from a week ago. They came out pretty good. I posted some unedited video on Monday, but I’ve finessed this so you can clearly see Jon the bass player and Rick the drummer. I’ve left in the mistakes too. I think it’s more interesting, but I realize some people may demand perfection. It’s not gonna be here. Also yesterday it got to 99.5 degrees outside. My new a/c is so good that I was actually cold at times. I used to have a less powerful one in the window and it could never make the room cool enough. This one is 8,000 btus and it’s perfect. It’s a lot newer too, so that helps.
Australia’s future PM? Phwooar!!
Why am I talking about air conditioners? The big 250 year anniversary weekend is coming up. Tomorrow is a holiday so I may not write anything until Monday. I’ve got too much to do elsewhere. I don’t get paid for this but maybe I should start putting this behind a paywall? Like that’s gonna happen. I don’t know (apart from a couple of people) who is reading this but I seem to be getting more hits on my website. I think the traffic has doubled since 2024, so that’s either a good or a bad thing. I sometimes wish I didn’t talk about politics. (a lot of the time) I know it annoys people but everything is politics when you think about it.
Lets say I try to point things out without being too partisan about it. These days at least half the population get their news from social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok and X. If you were wondering why governments across the globe don’t want children under 16 accessing social media it’s because they don’t want them finding out about stuff the government doesn’t want them to know.
It’s not protect the children, it’s to protect the overlords and their nefarious deeds from being revealed. The last thing the elites want is a generation that has finally seen through the brainwashing and lies that the education system and the media have subjected them to from the time they could think about something other than another drink of milk from Momma’s teats.
Information is so scattered now that it’s almost impossible to control anyone’s access to it although governments particularly in Commonwealth countries are still trying to control what people read online. I recently got an email from a social media platform called Gab. It was one of the many social media programs that sprang up in the wake of what used to be called Twitter and it’s left wing propaganda factory. Remember, Twitter was a social media platform that banned a sitting president of the United States!
I joined Gab quite a while back when it started and I have probably posted there maybe once, but I still get their emails. This one was very interesting and I’m gonna post some of it below.
URGENT: Gab Could Go Offline Any Minute
“You’ve probably heard that Gab is being called a “hostile actor” by the Australian government in the press this week. That’s because we refused to censor our users or to delete posts, silence opinions, and hand over data like a good little platform. The UK and German governments are piling on too, demanding we follow their censorship rules.
We said no and we will continue to say no.
Now, in what we believe is retaliation, someone (likely a foreign government) got our internet registration pulled.
What that means in plain English:
Every website needs a kind of “digital address” so the internet knows where to find it. That address is managed by something called an ASN (Autonomous System Number), and the organization that controls these numbers for Europe is called RIPE. This morning RIPE told us our ASN has been deregistered and we still have no idea why.
Translation: it’s like having your home address deleted from the GPS. Nobody can find you. Traffic stops. The site goes offline.”
This is what they’re talking about. RIPE, the Regional Internet Registry for Europe, Middle East and Central Asia
I’m sorry your social media platform hurt somebody’s feelings, You are hereby cancelled https://www.ripe.net/community/ripe-governance/chair/
Our goals in having this Code of Conduct are:
- To help everyone feel safe and included. Many people will be new to our community. Some may have had negative experiences in other communities. We want to set a clear expectation that harassment and related behaviours are not tolerated here. If people do have an unpleasant experience, they will know that this is neither the norm nor acceptable to us as a community.
- To make everyone aware of expected behaviour. We are a diverse community; a CoC sets clear expectations in terms of how people should behave.
It should come as no surprise that RIPE is a hive of progressive newthink, where if someone feels “uncomfortable” they can get you banned. The only question is that who was the asshole(s) who did this?
That’s what these motherfuckers are doing now. They want to be the gatekeepers of information and blackhole things they don’t agree with. They think they can get away with it too. It’s all in the name of “social cohesion” or some such horse shit, but it’s fucking globalist censorship and jack boot totalitarianism, plain and simple.
Good Day.
