The Daily Blog Open Mic – 29th April 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.

Millions of dollars – abstract – a child, how old – I haven’t read all – had sudden abstract thought. Perhaps the child thought that ‘we do better at kindergarten’ or was having ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ moment and has revealed that the art market is a thoroughly confused for value market, part of the ripoff complicity we mix with, compared to the wonderful unique structures that are humans which we allow to be destroyed every day because they are in the way. There are a variety of conceptions fruitful of meaning, and now is the time to recognise all.
Suggestion. Mentally only, hug someone today who is sweetly human even if a bit sour! Say something anodyne, pleasant, ask their advice on the problem, and go on your way unruffled whatever the response. It will surprise and shake them to find something good in their day.
