All the how to information for this system is well and truly buried most of the time.... (And ugh, configuring new image subdirectories... they always end up with at least one wrong template, and now guide as to what they should be.)

Yeah, I absolutely need to fix that and update the docs. The directory configuration is probably the worst part of the system.

Woa woa woa. Already 71 years?! I remember how it was 50 years and I went to Edwards AFB for festivities. We saw SR-71 flying by, as well as heard the sonic boom from Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier again, but in F-15 this time. The 4 of us took a rental Impala, drove down to SoCal and stayed in a dinkiest motel ever. And like that, 21 years have passed since.

Believe It or Not
It appears that after getting inadvertently "outed" on the air about a month ago, and not being seen or spoken of since, the individual we shall refer to here as Trappy McTrap Cat was NOT kicked off the show, but has merely had a scheduling conflict and today responded to the polite and supportive expressions of concern left in the You Tube comments.
What makes this story particularly hard to believe is the notion of polite and supportive You Tube comments.
In Which We Do Some Fact Checking
Remember. If you want to you can always just "Google it." Oh.
Google search is hiding auto-completed text related to the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.
Well, we here at Brickmuppet Blog figured this would be not just prudent but easy to fact check, so as of 22:18 EST we found that while the autofill function produced almost the same results as claimed, the algorithms had, apparently been tweaked...slightly.
Oh dear.
Fortunately, after about three clicks of further digital gumshoeing, it appears that that first result is just a meme and not an actual product like these.
If You're Subscribed to Them, You Might Not Know This Posted
...because subscription notifications on You-Tube have been quite sketchy of late.
Fun fact: Kiwifarms is not associated with New Zealand, Kiwi birds or Kiwi fruit.
It's a discussion of what's been transpiring in the bizarre race by certain Commonwealth nations to pass every legislative and regulatory initiative that the Christ Church butcher stated that he wanted.
Status Update
It appears that our posts are being lost between chair and keyboard and we have decided that this is due to tachyon interference from transmissions emitted by the
Dero from far beneath the Earth's crust in an attempt to break the tyrannical hold
on their third and fourth chakras that is being exercised by the
Shapeshifting Reptoids from Draco who have taken refuge with the
Antarctic Space Nazis in the hollow Earth after having to abandon their
forward operating base in Cydonia after the Greys razed it with
ortillery to prevent the Reptoid's and Nazi's joint (and evil) plan for global
domination from interfering with the Greys' seedy and completely illicit
fetish tourism and surprisingly lucrative manipulation of local (Terran)
cattle futures.
It is possible that the situation may be more or less complicated than that, but further investigation is needed and in any event things are hectic here, so we've decided to conclude this second rambling run-on-sentence with a picture of Grea who is a shining example of the societal virtues facilitated by hybrid vigor (and who has probably appeared in more TV series than any other half-dragonette).
There are at least two other shows that preceded it, neither of which I've seen and while I'm interested, I'm both busy and unclear on whether to start with Grand Blue or Bahamut.

I went into Manaria/Mysteria Friends with no prior knowledge of the world or characters, and it's lots of fun. I don't know if I'll ever look into the other series set in the same world.

Yeah, there's no backstory to worry about. It's Cute Girls Doing Cute Things While Attending Hogwarts, without the evil wizards.

Oh Wow. Look at All the Positive Feedback I'm Getti.....Oh.
Greetings gentle reader, we are working diligently to keep our comments free of salt, water, modified potato starch, sugar, sodium nitrite, pork and.......ham.
So, as I run down the ingredients on a can of SPAM,
I note the ingredients list both pork AND ham.
The world is all muddled,
and I am befuddled
so I'll just throw up my hands and scream "Damn!"
While I contemplate this conundrum, here is a period panorama by Pochi.
Pochi's blog is here and you can purchase Pochi pictures here.

From the creator blurb on The Org:
OK this is the infamous Dirty Pair: Girls with guns video that I made a LONG time ago. I transferred the footage form old VHS to 1" video. I edited it on 1" video, Transferred to Betacam, later I transferred to DVCPRO, Digitized to Quicktime MOV, Compressed to MP4 and now uploading.
The remake doesn't seem to be available on The Org, so... oh well!

Well, Evil Has Come to ChristChurch
This is is developing, but it appears that an unclear number of people-shaped colostomy bags stormed into New Zealand holy places and slaughtered people until they ran out of ammo, or in one case, were repelled by an armed citizen.
Like with the Charleston shooting some years ago and the recent atrocity in Pittsburgh, these servants of Moloch butchered a room full of innocents whose only crime was that they had shown up to render alms and pray.
Before engaging in this obscenity, one of these fiends published a manifesto in which he praised environmentalism, Trump, the white race, and....Candace Owens. He denounced capitalism, individuality, global warming, immigrants, overpopulation, and pop culture.
The repugnant ghoul has thus very helpfully provided everybody in our highly polarized society with some issue they can use to pin this obscenity on their political opponents.
And everyone seems to be taking the bait.
I sit in dread of where this will lead, but I am numb, and too sickened to express my foreboding in words. Here, instead, is an excerpt from Yeats.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity....
UPDATE: Very good thoughts on this that you should read or view in full are here, here and here, and Sargon of all people has the wisest and, sadly, least popular take in this short video.
At About 16:30 Today on YouTube (Updated)
We have, from top to bottom:
A: A stoic, calm, and reasoned You-Tube commentator.
B: A Brexiteer and, well, a bit of a troll.
C: A mellow, and yet delightfully wackadoodle libertarian loon from Vermont.
D: A generally left leaning journalist whose reporting has been quite wide ranging.
A: Matt Christensen
B: Sargon
C: Styxhexxenhammer D: Tim Pool
All have been focusing on threats to free speech of late and most, if not all have been targeted over the last week or so by doxxings and calls for deplatforming.
Meanwhile, as this is being typed, other Youtube channels seem to be fine.
It's probably nothing. Just an odd coincidence.
