The Daily Blog Open Mic – 27th April 2024
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.

Perhaps we need to become more human and humane to each other rather than the reverse. None of our nitwit political parties seem to have grown-up, wise people at their head, and few coming along under.
After all if it ain’t broke why fix it is their idea while we still keep voting the highly paid incompetents in – and they are building a class system where politics is an acceptable career for the wealth-oriented. A bit like the old English system where the first son got the land, the next might buy into the horse-mounted army and the next perhaps go into the church.
This is a good thoughtful USA report on screen addiction of teenagers and the harm and improvement that can come from control or not. Serious stuff that is worth a look and is avoidable without too much angst.

Has that device ‘addiction’ developed into mindless (virtually) exclaiming and fighting over screen games and leading to claims of all sorts of mis-behaviour in gaming.
