The Daily Blog Open Mic – 10th May 2025
Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

…After conjuring underwater magic, the shots become shockingly lifeless. Smashed coral, murky water and debris is all we see in the aftermath of bottom trawling, a process where enormous nets are towed along the ocean floor, picking up everything in their path.
And the voice is now filled with icy cold rage.
As expected, Ocean is about the glory of the watery world — which feeds us, cleans our air and could save us from climate catastrophe.
But it is also about how we are killing it….
Here we do bottom trawling and are quite high tech about our fishing methods of different types. So we’re trying to come between the boys and their expensive toys which can produce good returns at the cost of devastation behind. So with neolib stripping away all the protective rules enabling life at a reasonable level of harvesting what do we do?
