Need to harness the power of Bluesky, so reposts are appreciated. If anyone here, or anyone you know attends Bangor University (the Welsh one) and needs a room for the upcoming year, get in touch. One of my son's housemates has dropped out at the last minute, so their house is one short.

I check Wikipedia’s entry on Rupert Murdoch more frequently than you would think, just to see how old he is. He’s 95, but his mother made it to like 103, so it may yet be some time

I complain about NextDoor a lot, and for good reason, but some poor woman just asked if the NectDoor “payment verification” system was real before she put her details in, and it took about 30 seconds for 30 people to reply NO NO SCAM DON’T.

Nobody who saw the “Hop on one leg, bark like a dog and deny you are a bastard” routine could believe this. The position towards the left in general is maximum hostility at all times, and that’s especially true when the Sensible Moderates are up to their necks in war crimes nobody else will name.

I normally strongly reject the framing of black cats as evil, but Siobhan here is engaging in evil behaviour.

FYI birders - I was curious about whether to keep using the Merlin app, but I am comfortable with it given this information
threads post from "squiresdujour":  "I use the Merlin app for my interest in birds, and it is wonderful.  Please understand that Merlin and the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization managed as part of Cornell's land grand programs, and is NOT part of the large private endowed college.  Let's please direct our well justified anger to the proper targets."

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.
An archived copy of Michael Tracey's original Substack post includes a screenshot from "eCourt Records" and the commentary: "It's [name redacted]. Don't blame me -- the New York Court System just posted it. Seemingly inadvertently. Oh well."Screenshot of Michael Tracey's post on Substack titled "Note on Jane Doe." It reads: "After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others — so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization — cannot be countenanced.

It’s destructive, and an egregious abuse of the legal system by huckster plaintiff’s lawyers. This practice has to end. Lawyers who seek to monetize this sleazy tactic should have to think A LOT HARDER about the claims they’re willing to throw out into the public domain, using impressionable clients who may not even know what they’re getting themselves into.

So why have I now removed her information?

Because I don’t believe she’s the main “villain” here. I primarily blame the bottom-feeding, media-manipulating, sleazebag lawyers who’ve made a whole cash-grab industry out of this racket.

Thomas Giuffra in particular has a lot to answer for. He’s the central reason for the current debacle.

Given the intense nationwide and global interest in this case, I don’t want to bring any further negative attention to this woman. I don’t believe she ought to be punished or subjected to any retribution or humiliation. I believe a RATIONAL solution is necessary here. Not more character assassination — of her, the seven young men, or anyone else. Truly, that is my genuine view."
