Armadillo, what does it mean when Youtube starts putting ads before a video that was posted there?
Nailed it. Now, lets talk about my alcohol problem.
I’m going to assume this is a FREE consultation.
It means YouTube make money from adverts.
The adverts will be tailored to both content and viewer’s previous preferences.
All algorithm driven.
There is no “programming manager” deciding where to put ads.
I’m guessing that if you don’t “subscribe” to the channel, it’s some sort of punishment. Unless you skip the advertising, which is a common mistake that people make. I have several brands of Tampons I can now recommend to mOnster to attach to his bleeding heart. And several brands of nappies I could attach to his mouth. The advertising is annoying, but also useful in its own way.
Knowledge is power. Thank you Carefree.
With the exception of Spotify (in certain circumstances) algorithms have basically killed the internet. It is like talking to someone desperate to agree with you. Two people can essentially start on the same page and after a few clicks are seeing something completely different even if they are looking at the “same” page.
I think you guys have been a bit harsh on mOnster lately.
I sense he’s on the precipice of declaring his love for Trump, but you lot just keep rejecting him. Deep down, he’s conservative to the core. A capitalist at heart.
That fat fuck isn’t surviving on crickets and beetles.
And being advertised at for three months for a product you have already searched and bought.

At work we have been all complaining about how run down we all are and started to hate coming to work.
The solution is not to stop doing ever escalating batshit crazy risk aversion activities and endless virtue signalling campaigns as management tries to outdo each other in the corporate management stakes, but actually focus on enabling us to focus on the core tasks and recruit staff sufficient to do our actual jobs.
Oh, no, we get people put in to do “Wellness Month” and promote wear purple days. I guess it looks a lovely bullet point on their resume. And gives everyone else the absolute shits.
Corporations are a bit like the Liberal Party in this respect. When employee satisfaction lags, they think the solution is to double down on the overbearing, woke horseshit which is actually responsible for a goodly portion of the original dissatisfaction and weariness.

Dunno for sure, bern. I’ve actually met this bloke before, when various social circles briefly converged. Only once or twice though. Seemed all right.
Usually, and with the jacks, the charges about accessing and handing out confidential information are one of two things. If they’re a younger bloke a couple of years into that line of work, it’s usually looking up a particularly noteworthy member of the opposite sex*’s number from number plate information or something, and asking them out after contacting them on some pretext or other. Stupid, and doesn’t happen often at all, but there you go.
For blokes married up with kids, it’s usually a sense of untouchability while delving into information systems on behalf of mates – almost never with proper dastardly criminality in mind, but something like (for example) the address of a bloke because his mate wants to go round and tell the young bloke living there to stay the fuck away from his daughter. Or similar.
A charge like conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, without knowing anything more about it could be anything from a speeding ticket to tax-related deception offences to murder.
I do know he was quite tight with a bloke who was squashed by the skids on a chopper a few months ago while collecting crocodile eggs. The dead bloke was hailed far and wide as a quintessential Dundee-type ‘larrikin’, but who in my view was a dodgy fuckwit who was employed by an even dodgier, bigger fuckwit trading on the same theme.
As with most things of this type – without actually knowing the finer details, it’s all speculation.

Judge orders release of redacted Mar-a-Lago search warrant by Friday noon

Unfortunately I missed almost all of the virtue signaling morning teas when I was working from the office.
Seemed to always clash with an online meeting – which I would organise with a mate on the other side of the office who was equally uninterested.

There’s been a change. Up until about 2005 when a recession came along companies would ditch this rubbish and sack most of the HR drones. Then we’d have a few years of actually being able to work effectively before the dead wood started to build up again. It was a wonderful feeling of freedom, while it lasted. I can recall three or four such iterations. Then everything would clag up until the next recession.
Now though in recessions the HR drones are kept and the ones who do the work get downsized instead. I think it’s the ESG disease, which has so infected management that they’ve forgotten that they’re running a business not a political party.
I do online Sudoku puzzles. I assume the push advertising is tailored towards what they consider to be their audience. I’m either a fat chick who needs a weight loss regime, an old chook with oversize boozzies hurting her back by wearing the wrong bra or a gorgeous italian woman with great legs, but a crook hip which I don’t think she knows is going to cause her problems as she gets older, selling shoes. As much as won’t believe me, I’m none of those. Strange isn’t it.

‘No seat, no job’: Why Jamie Dimon is quietly clamping down on remote work at JPMorgan
Jamie Dimon has grown increasingly aggressive behind the scenes with a clampdown on remote work — and insiders say a major reason is likely a certain skyscraper that’s under construction in Midtown Manhattan.
JPMorgan’s hard-charging chief executive has been quietly telling senior managers he expects the mega-bank’s rank and file to be in their seats at the office five days a week – a more stringent standard than the bank’s official line of three days a week, according to sources close to the company.
It’s also more in line with Goldman Sachs — which demanded well over a year ago everyone return to its offices in downtown Manhattan five days a week. A company spokesman was quick to note the bank has no plans to change its hybrid policy.
Still, there is growing anxiety throughout JPMorgan’s employee ranks as the US economy braces for a “hurricane,” in Dimon’s words. As reported by The Post, whispers of hiring freezes and even layoffs have begun to circulate as dealmaking across Wall Street slows sharply from its red-hot pace during the pandemic
“The worry is if people aren’t in their seats five days a week, those seats could be moved from our team,” a source close to the situation told The Post. “If someone’s not there it makes it a pretty easy decision to fire them first.”
Dimon has emphasized that banking is an apprenticeship model and employees need to be together to collaborate and work together.
Laptop stays in picture
When I was writing “Laptop From Hell,” I often thought what a great movie Hunter Biden’s laptop would make. It takes us from the White House to the opulent haunts of oligarchs in Monte Carlo, Lake Como, Hong Kong and Shanghai, from a Mexican billionaire’s beach villa in Acapulco to the desolate oil fields of Kazakhstan, from a judo competition in Budapest with Vladimir Putin to dinner in Beijing with Xi Jinping. Beautiful Russian escorts and thieving drug dealers float through the Chateau Marmont amid slapstick scenes as crackhead Hunter comes unstuck and his hapless Uncle Jim Biden rides in to the rescue. Sadly, Hollywood never came knocking.
But now, the intrepid Irish American filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are about to release their own version of the tale, “My Son Hunter.” You won’t be surprised to hear they had trouble finding anyone in Hollywood to fund or distribute it.
So they crowdfunded the project, starring John James as Joe Biden and Laurence Fox as Hunter, and filmed it in Serbia. Breitbart News came to the rescue on distribution, and it’s all systems go for Sept. 9.
I’ve only seen a 30-second teaser, but glimpses of the first son amid scantily clad babes, oligarchs and menacing drug dealers are suitably sizzling. A longer trailer will be launched in a livestream Thursday night on Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social.
Former first son Donald Trump Jr. will appear on a panel after the trailer, presumably to opine on how differently this story would have been treated if that infamous laptop had belonged to him.
Looks that way.
It also looks like a Commissioner, who is deeply beholden to the government of the day, and which gave him a lucrative job (and multi-million dollar budget) as head of remote housing when he was an Assistant Commissioner, and who had no knowledge of or background in that work, and which also then gave him the Commish role, and also which then expected some backup when a crook got shot in the desert (and got it) to distract from its appalling performance, and who is now on his last legs, is now going supernova on his own troops to try and stay in his exceedingly comfy contract.
I can only think of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. During roll call.
Might have told this story before.

VP Kamala Harris holes up in Hawaii as Biden signs spending bill, reveals student loan plan
Headline and Article not particularly interesting but Comments Great
– Wiley Coyote
1 hour ago
When asked about the student loan forgiveness, VP Harris had this to say: “President Biden takes student loan debt very seriously because it’s a very important issue that is a serious problem for all the students who took on debt to get a serious education. Because of the loans they took, they have a lot of debt and because they have debt, it’s a serious problem when they go to take out more loans because they have so much debt they can’t pay off the loans they have, leaving them highly indebted. So, it’s important that we take this debt seriously. By paying off $10,000 of their debt, their debt is paid off so they can pursue serious careers. “
– VP Camel Ahh Harris responded: I’ve been accused of using word salad. I like salad. Salad is healthy. Words are healthy. I like words. Putting two healthy things – salad and words – together makes word salad which is healthy when asked questions with words in them. So I put the words in a salad which makes a word salad, because a salad made of words is much healthier than just words without a salad.

Mark Zuckerberg criticizes Twitter’s handling of The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story
Mark Zuckerberg took thinly veiled swipes at Twitter over its decision to ban sharing of The Post’s exclusive report on Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 election, calling the rival social network’s ban overly “black and white.”
The billionaire CEO of Meta defended Facebook’s response to the Biden story during an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast after the host pressed him to explain his views on how tech platforms should handle content moderation on sensitive subjects.
“A lot of people were still able to share it,” Zuckerberg said of The Post’s Hunter Biden scoop. “We got a lot of complaints that that was the case.
“This is a hyper-political issue, so depending on what side of the political spectrum, you either think we didn’t censor enough or censored it way too much, but we weren’t as black and white about it as Twitter,” he added.
Twitter briefly suspended The Post’s account in 2020 after the laptop exposé revealed the existence of tens of thousands of emails between the president’s son and business associates. The emails revealed how Biden’s son leveraged his political access in his overseas business dealings.
When Rogan asked for his view on how the response to The Post’s story was handled, Zuckerberg acknowledged that Facebook had also reduced distribution of the report on its own platform.

Student who tracks celebs’ flights will stop publishing Elon Musk’s whereabouts — for a price
Elon Musk drew wrath this week for a nine-minute, 35-mile flight from San Jose to San Francisco — but it didn’t have to be this way.
The trip was tracked and exposed by @ElonJet, a Twitter account run by Jack Sweeney, a 20-year-old IT major at University of Central Florida in Orlando.
“If he let me fly with him on his jet, record it and talk about it — and maybe not even pay me the $50,000 [previously asked for] — I would take it down,” Sweeney said of Musk. “That is still up for discussion.”
Sweeney’s high-profile hobby uses public information snagged from the Internet to track the movements of private planes flying the likes of Tom Cruise and assorted Kardashians, a brace of Russian oligarchs and tech titans such as Bill Gates and Musk. He regularly posts their high-flying whereabouts to a series of Twitter accounts. In July his @CelebJets account busted Kylie Jenner for a 17-minute flight, which led to her being called a “climate criminal.”
But he has a particular soft-spot for Musk — even when the inventor makes life difficult for him.
Last November, Musk offered Sweeney $5,000 to take down the account.
Shia LaBeouf converts to Catholicism after studying for ‘Padre Pio’ movie
By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi | Fox News – Published August 25, 2022
LaBeouf told Barron that the traditional form of the Catholic mass — celebrated in Latin — was key in both his conversion and his performance as an actor playing Pio.
When Ferrara asked LaBeouf to use an Italian accent while acting, he refused. The movie had become too personal and too important to wear a “mask” as LaBeouf described it to Barron.
“While we were practicing Latin Mass, I was having genuine emotional experiences, and aside from the fact that as a Neapolitan speaker, [Pio’s] accent wouldn’t have matched Italian anyway, but it felt like that would have taken me out of this thing that felt very personal,” LaBeouf explained.
Nate Silver: ‘Liberal elites’ pressured Pfizer to delay vaccine until after 2020 election
Nate Silver claimed “liberal public health elites” pressured Pfizer to delay fast-track approval of its COVID-19 vaccine until after the 2020 presidential election — thus denying then-President Donald Trump a political win before voters headed to the polls.
The number-crunching data journalist reacted to an article by Politico that cited a House report that claimed the Trump administration sought to expedite approvals for both vaccines and “unproven treatments” for COVID-19.
“‘Trump pushed for vaccine approvals too fast’ is the worst possible critique of the Trump administration’s COVID policy,” Silver, founder of the Disney-owned FiveThirtyEight political news and analysis website, tweeted.
“That probably saved a lot of lives. If anything approval should have been faster.”
In a subsequent tweet, Silver wrote that “liberal public health elites” pushed Pfizer to “change its original protocols” that govern its authorization of vaccines so that the decision would be put off until after Election Day two years ago.
Silver noted that Pfizer’s decision “had the convenient side-effect of delaying any vaccine announcement until after the election” and that the story “deserves more scrutiny.”
The FiveThirtyEight editor-in-chief said most public health officials “tend to be strong [Democratic] partisans” and that their push for Pfizer to take its time in announcing a vaccine “may have been politically motivated in whole or in part.”

The Queensland government will allow unvaccinated teachers to return to work, but at a lower pay rate for 18 weeks. It has also sent them nasty letters to make sure they feel intimidated. There are only so many words for vindictive, spiteful tyrants.
Do the vaccinated realize that this will bite them soon too? Once bureaucrats can inflict penalties retrospectively, capriciously and with no possible reasoning (they don’t even try) — then anyone can be the next victim.

Judge Orders Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant Affidavit to Be Unsealed
Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered a redacted version of the search warrant affidavit used in the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago to be unsealed on Friday by noon EST.
Judge Reinhart’s order on Thursday came after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) argued portions of the affidavit should be kept secret.
Judge Reinhart, who approved the search warrant based on the affidavit, determined the federal government “has met its burden of showing a compelling reason/good cause to seal portions of the Affidavit.”

Speaking of over-egging, Katie Hopkins opined that there will be no air travel for anyone but the elites in five to ten years’ time.

The one that will be interesting to watch will be the cruise industry. A huge investment has been made in new ships and re-fits.
Cost of living looms as danger area for PM as concerns soar
The cost of living is swamping every other issue as the key concern for voters, including climate change, COVID-19 and the state of the creaking health system, a new survey shows.
In a warning to the Albanese government to stay focused on the economic challenges facing individuals and families, the latest True Issues survey also finds voters have a dim view of how the government is handling the cost of living crisis.
Its release comes as Opposition leader Peter Dutton accused the prime minister of being too obsessed with the previous misdeeds of Scott Morrison by pursuing an inquiry into the former prime minister’s five secret ministries, and announcing on Thursday a Royal Commission into the Robodebt scandal.
Mr Dutton said double-digit inflation and energy rationing in Europe was “all coming for us”.
“The time now is for the Prime Minister to stop this witch hunt and get on with helping the Australian public, who are very worried about what they’re seeing internationally.”
The True Issues survey is a quarterly exercise conducted by JWS Research to gauge the issues which most concern or interest voters, and asks them to rate the government’s handling of the issues.
The latest survey of 1000 voters, conducted between August 12 and August 15, shows that when prompted with a list of issues and asked to rate them in order of importance, 73 per cent mentioned the cost of living which is up from 65 per cent in the previous survey in March.
The figure reaches 81 per cent among those aged between 35 and 54 years, the demographic struggling the most with mortgages and the costs of raising kids.
Hospitals, healthcare and ageing was the next most dominant issue at 59 per cent, followed by two more economic issues – the economy and finances (44 per cent), and housing and interest rates (39 per cent).
The election of a Labor government and its early pursuit of emissions reduction policy has coincided with a reduction in concern over climate change from 42 per cent in March to 36 per cent now, making it the fifth top issue of concern.
On an unprompted basis, when the survey asked participants to name three issues that concern them the most the cost of living again came out on top at 38 per cent, an increase from the 16 per cent in the March survey.
Despite ongoing large case numbers and deaths from COVID-19, just 8 per cent mentioned it unprompted as a concern, down from 15 per cent in March and 47 per cent in July last year.
While the federal government’s overall performance rating has lifted sharply since the March survey when the Coalition was in power, its rating on managing the cost of living came last among the 22 issues presented to those surveyed.
“There’s been promises made. The voters expect delivery,” says JWS Research director John Scales.
Late last year, the survey began to detect a fatigue with both tiers of government, state and federal, due to the pandemic.
The latest survey shows the overall performance rating of the federal government has lifted from an index rating of 47 in March, when the Coalition was in power, to 54 now, following a change of government.
But the states remain on the slide. The collective rating has fallen from 54 to 52 since March, but this is being propped by Western Australia (64) and South Australia (57), both states with popular leaders.
NSW, Victoria and Queensland each have an index of 50.
Optimism in the national economy is also falling. More Australians see the national economy heading in the wrong direction since March (33 per cent up from 30 per cent), and fewer see it heading in the right direction (20 per cent down from 28 per cent).

The AFR View
Why haven’t bank bosses rated jobs summit invites?
At the very least, the Australian Banking Association’s chair and deputy chair, Peter King and Marnie Baker, should be asked to attend the Jobs and Skills Summit.
As The Australian Financial Review reported at the time, business was divided and sidelined at Bob Hawke’s 1983 National Economic Summit. While the result was not overall bad for business, the summit basically endorsed the Prices and Incomes Accord between Labor and the ACTU as the Hawke-Keating government’s economic policy framework.
After seasoned trade union officials Simon Crean and Bill Kelty ran rings around leading business figures, the summit led to the formation of the Business Council of Australia months later.
Nearly 40 years later, Anthony Albanese’s Jobs and Skills Summit will feature leaders of the industry superannuation funds produced by the Labor-ACTU accord.
Incredibly, an economic summit of 100 or so leading figures apparently will exclude the “Team Australia” bank CEOs who helped get the economy through the pandemic, got the jobless rate down to 3.4 per cent, and who dominate the financing of housing, identified by Treasurer Jim Chalmers as a pressing issue.
The banks’ sole representative appears to be their chief lobbyist, former Queensland Labor premier Anna Bligh. At the very least, the summit should include the Australian Banking Association’s current chair, Westpac CEO Peter King, and deputy chair, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank CEO Marnie Baker.
Anything less would smack of churlishness.
Student who tracks celebs’ flights will stop publishing Elon Musk’s whereabouts — for a price
This is the problem with the ADSB system. There is a GPS receiver in the aircraft along with a pressure altimeter system and up to twice a second the position, altitude and speed of the aircraft is transmitted to a ground station along with a unique code permanently assigned to the aircraft and its registration. The security flaws in this were pointed out long ago but nothing was done. It would not be difficult to simply remove that code portion and then it would be like the old Mode C/radar system and make sure that data held by ATC was not put out on the internet.
It is also stupid to antagonise the world’s richest man. Elon doesn’t look like a guy who would have the idiot whacked or beaten up but the guy might find his life and career has a lot of “bad luck” if Elon decides he needs a hobby.

Two Plead Guilty To Stealing Ashley Biden’s ‘Inappropriate Showers With Dad’ Diary
Two Florida residents have pleaded guilty to stealing Ashley Biden’s diary and other belongings, before selling them to Project Veritas in the weeks leading up to the 2020 US election.
Aimee Harris, 40, and Robert Kurlander, 58, admitted they took part in a conspiracy to transport stolen materials from Florida, where Ashley Biden had been living, to New York, according to the New York Times.
“Harris and Kurlander stole personal property from an immediate family member of a candidate for national political office,” said Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
And while Project Veritas declined to publish the diary (and were still raided by the Biden DOJ), the National File did publish excerpts on Oct. 24, 2020 – and the full diary two days later. While treated as potentially fake at the time, we now know that the contents are legit – including claims that Joe took ‘probably inappropriate’ showers with Ashley, and that she believes she was sexually molested as a child.

Two Florida Residents Plead Guilty in Federal Court in New York to Stealing Ashley Biden Diary
August 25, 2022 – Sundance
The reason the FBI raided the home and office of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, was to discover the source of the Ashley Biden diary. The feds then went to work on prosecuting the suspects who “stole” the diary, and a guilty plea in New York was entered today. [Ashley in green shirt below]
[Creepy Joe] Look carefully, everything about this narrative presentation by national media is sketchy; including two Florida residents being prosecuted in New York, when the claimed illegal action, the theft,” took place in Florida.
Also, the “stolen” goods aspect is suspect, despite the plea. As previous wide-spread discussion outlined, the Ashley Biden material was left behind in a rental home and discovered by the next occupant. It looks like the admission of “theft” is a Main Justice pressure angle to support a “stolen” narrative.
The Florida residents, Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander, plead guilty to “conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property.” The creepy and disturbing content of the diary is now obscured.
I’m not so sure. The travel industry is so entrenched that it would only take a major cataclysm to stop it – like a world war. Even 911 didn’t stop it for long, and many like me were travelling just a few days after.
They will just mandate a cap on flights. The French have banned air travel for relatively short distances. No problem really.

Energy firms refusing to supply small UK businesses over bankruptcy fears
Hospitality sector in particular is finding it hard to renew contracts, with some asked for £10,000 deposit
….
In the latest sign of the deepening energy crisis, business owners said they were struggling to find a supplier in the run-up to the busy October period for renewing gas and electricity contracts, leaving them facing “extortionate” bills or demands for a deposit.
…
Teresa Hodgson, landlord of the Green Man pub in Denham, near Uxbridge, was initially told by her supplier SSE that it could not give her a quote for energy because prices were increasing so fast. “When I did pin them down, they said before we can go any further, we want a £10,000 deposit,” Hodgson said.
“When I asked why, because they’ve never had an issue with me, they said: ‘We don’t think a lot of pubs are going to make it this year and we need security.’ There were other suppliers who just wouldn’t entertain it at all because it’s hospitality,” she added.

Geez, you lot still talking about Hunter’s nine-inch hog? Talk about obsession. Okay, the guy’s got a big unit, get over it.
Yes. In America these ‘schools’ introduce you to the very best types.
You have to learn to avoid some of them.
Truth is, as JC oulines re his child, that prestigious schools and universities (in the right courses) offer an entree into some of the big hitting occupations and social circles. I wasn’t brought up to recognise this, though in life I learned that truth of it as I looked at the world I moved into, but Hairy knew it from the start as he’d been through the lot himself. Thus the two children we had went to elite private schools and elite live-in colleges within elite universities and they now mix with and work with people who are similar in similarly hard-to-gain jobs. They did it on their own merits after this good education, both of them doing Masters Degrees (in Taxation, lol) under their own steam and they paid all of their own HECS debts, as some do, and as some don’t, those ones relying on Daddy’s money and influence to keep them financially afloat (viz Hunter and his ilk) or to give them cushy jobs.
Our kids worked hard and still do. They get the high rewards as very skilled knowledge workers.
All private schooling and university education works in this way by determining who children mix with and what values and role models they obtain. There are hierarchies in schools and universities in Australia, just as there are in the US. As in the US, and the UK, the ‘top’ schools and universities are turning off a lot of parents due to extreme ‘wokeness’. Times are changing. Elites still mainly favour the time-honoured ways, but many less elite parents might be looking elsewhere for educational ROI.
The fascinating Seven Up series showed this class-based social system in action, but it also showed how simple education and class factors only worked in some sectors of the economy, e.g. the ossified public sector and top corporates and even there Britian’s Hooray Henry’s (as Hairy calls them) were less in evidence. The barrister booked to board at Charterhouse after age seven quite rightly, in his successful adulthood, defended his success by saying he’d had to work bloody hard for it too. Educational privilege has to be earned. Some kids of elites go to these schools and universities and fail all the way, slinking off with third class honours into mundane occupations shored up by a social whirl on Daddy’s cash.
As times changed in Britain, 7 Up showed that people with fewer opportunities and less good schooling were still doing well in life due to seizing opportunities when they used their wits to see these chances and that immigration had becomes as important as class background in Britain’s opportunity scales. All of this now is also being pushed in various directions by deliberate ‘diversity’ policies. The pattern is similar here in Australia, where social equality has always been given strong lip service and ‘the fair go’ has been much stronger in the culture than in Britain.

talk about cherry picking.
The last report, pp 21, shows ‘overall approval’ for the feds after the 2019 election went from about 49% peaking to 63% when covid hit. It’s been on the slide since then, but long-term is down in the low-40’s usually.
US tertiary education has long been a country club with assessment. Increasingly Australian private school education is heading down the same path. My old school still doesn’t have an air conditioned rifle range. My annual binning of their glossy brochure to aid giving can’t help.
The more ‘diversity’ in top schools and universities though, where background is more important than competetive entry with demonstrated capacity, the less valuable over time will be the credential issued or indeed the contacts made. First Class Honours and Honours at Level 2/1 used to be the standard ‘quality’ degree. Now Thirds are rarely given and even Firsts can be awarded on diversity rather than proper performance. Thus the system looks set to collapse under this grade-inflation infirmity.
It can eventually descend into outright corruption, with undue favours granted in credentialling and in employment afterwards.
I’m not sure this is a wise idea. Epstein Island doesn’t need to be reactivated.
BTW, has anyone else noticed the silence? I get the feeling that a certain book is about to appear. Hundreds of them if necessary.
While Australian tertairy education has become an immigration agent.

Germans warned of toilet paper shortage
The energy crisis could severely affect production, an industry body warns
The crisis on the European gas market could lead to reduced production of toilet paper in Germany, according to Martin Krengel, chairman of the nation’s paper industry association, Die Papierindustrie.
“We are particularly dependent on gas for the production of tissue paper. Without it, we will no longer be able to provide security of supply,” Krengel said in a statement published on Thursday.
According to data provided by Die Papierindustrie, each German citizen uses an average of 134 rolls of toilet paper per year. “In the current energy crisis, our top priority is to provide people with this important commodity,” Krengel stressed.
Last month, the Bavarian Paper Association warned that operating paper plants may become unprofitable if they are forced to work at reduced capacity due to natural gas shortages.

Never forget their thuggery
There is simply no legitimate defense for Covid authoritarianism and over-reach
James Allan
https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fspectator.com.au%2F2022%2F08%2Fnever-forget-their-thuggery%2F
Last week the front page of the London Telegraph (far more sane through the pandemic, by the way, than the Australian) published a front page piece with a headline ‘lockdown effects feared to be killing more people than Covid’. In fact, the article by the paper’s science editor Sarah Knapton cites excess deaths data from Britain’s Office for National Statistics that make it plain this will happen. Knapton says that ‘over the past two months, the number of excess deaths not from Covid dwarfs the number linked to the virus’. Even some doctors’ organisations, who were all too willing to try to suppress and cancel lockdown dissenters for over two years, are doing about faces – not least the British Heart Foundation. Others, like the man who goes by the moniker ‘The Naked Emperor’ (for obvious reasons) on Substack, have taken this data and drilled down further. For instance, for the week ending 5 August there were 1,350 excess deaths in England and Wales.
Guess what? That is 14.4 per cent higher than the 5-year average. And you’re seeing those noticeably higher excess deaths in Australia too. But the Naked Emperor makes a point the science editor of the London Telegraph still shies away from, a point related to wide-open, honest debate: ‘There is no doubt that lockdowns are one of the major causes [of these really high excess deaths numbers] but it would be stupid to not even consider vaccines. Investigate whether they have contributed to these excess deaths in any way, present the evidence and then say no they haven’t. But don’t just dogmatically say they are safe and not look into it.’
Sorry, somehow got the wrong link above.

Russia and India no longer need US dollar – BRICS president
The two countries have successfully established a mechanism for mutual settlements in rubles and rupees, Purnima Anand says
Russia and India don’t need the US dollar in trade, having turned to national currencies to conduct mutual settlements, BRICS International Forum President Purnima Anand told reporters on Thursday.
“We have implemented the mechanism of mutual settlements in rubles and rupees, and there is no need for our countries to use the dollar in mutual settlements. And today a similar mechanism of mutual settlements in rubles and yuan is being developed by China,” she said.
“That means that the BRICS countries are opening up to Russia, offering the opportunity for the country to overcome the consequences of sanctions,” Anand added, as quoted by RIA news agency.
The BRICS president said mutual trade between India and Russia had grown fivefold over the past 40 years. Moscow supplies a rapidly growing volume of oil to India, and in return gets large quantities of agricultural products, textiles, medicines and other products.
Anand also noted that New Delhi considers itself a neutral party in the current sanctions war between the West and Russia, and despite sanctions pressure, will continue cooperation with Moscow “in any areas where necessary.”

The Great Disappearing Raid Story
Did that big news two weeks ago actually happen?
Matt Taibbi
Excuse me for giving a damn, but what happened to the Trump raid story?
Two weeks ago, the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was the biggest story on earth and seemingly one of the most consequential American news events since 9/11. The search inspired a few hours of social media jubilation, followed by roughly a week of frenzied leaking as a parade of national security soothsayers unspooled sinister scenarios on TV, and then — nothing. The line went dead. By last week’s end, the cancellation of Brian Stelter on CNN was a top national headline in comparison.
With a caveat that the relative quiet could be upended by a court decision Thursday, could we pause to reflect on the oddness of this episode? Has a story this big ever receded to the back pages this quickly?
He’s right, you know. Dobbs will drive the turnout of millions of Democrat voters who would have voted – and voted Democrat – anyway. Come November, they’ll be able to pull the lever and say they’re voting for the Democrat candidates because they support a woman’s right to choose, instead of whatever other reason(s) they would have cited to justify voting for the Democrat candidates had Dobbs not come along.
It makes all the difference.
lol. Happy Christmas. Did you BYO loo paper? Good-0. And you’ve wrapped your presents in some too.
How lovely. So thoughtful. Thank you so much.
Here is a clue
Black women burdened most by student debt in US
Campbell-Spivey agrees with the Biden Administration plan. She says she will apply for student loan debt relief as soon as an application becomes available. She’s also relying on debt forgiveness to pursue a Master’s degree in the future.
“It will help me tremendously,” Campbell-Spivey said. “My current undergraduate debt has stalled me in getting a future education. Plus, I have seven years until my daughter will go off to college. So, I want to be able to prepare for that too.”
When it comes to student debt, there’s a racial and gender divide. Women hold nearly two-thirds of the outstanding student debt in the U.S. — close to $929 billion
The report shows women graduates owing almost $22,000 in student debt, compared $18,880 owed by men. Black women graduate with an average of $37,558 in student debt.
Tera Reynolds, who lives in Sacramento, is working to pay off $171,000 in student debt. She earned an undergraduate degree in criminal justice, along with a Master’s degree in social work and a Doctorate in educational leadership and policy administration.

That’s because many women, and especially non-white women, do fairly undemanding non-STEM degrees that don’t return much in the way of salary, and quite often they end up unemployed because they are still unemployable. Then they go on to pile on more debt doing even more degrees of the ‘human services’ type that they hope will land them the high paying boondoggle job they all seek, and when it doesn’t (because so many seek these jobs) they fall back to scratching a non-taxable living doing activist complaints.
Sorry for so many words, Dillo. Shorter (and less effective) me: women do easier degrees

People on this site say “Hunter’s laptop is real – that proves Biden’s corruption with all the China visit and 10% for the big guy stuff, and proves media corruption the way they banned the story and put out denials even while Hunter’s lawyers were demanding it be returned to him”.
m0nty chimes in with his unrelated claims about Hunter’s dick. [Incidentally, m0nty, how do you know the laptop “is full of videos with him showing it off”?]
“Oh what a giveaway” as the Pythons used to say.
Ever heard of “projection”, m0nty?
