Intelligent Spam, Picking Best Photos And My Social Media Links
I remember I was quite offended at the time. It was fairly soon after I started my blog in 2014.
Thanks for following my blog. I suppose your blog is an intelligent kind of spam based on the wish of bloggers to let their ego develop on the net.
I have respect for your intelligence and wish you good luck.
(Kind thanks to drwilly of drwillylip.wordpress.com for a most excellent insult)
I came to realise, It’s actually a reasonable comment. A reasonable question to ask oneself. Sometimes criticism may seem harsh, but, it can be some of the best advice one will ever receive.
It’s a question I ask myself when I’m writing or sharing – is what I’m creating enriching people’s experience of life, or am I just creating “Intelligent Spam” ? Am I sharing something people wouldn’t normally see ? Am I distributing information which is interesting ? and so on.

Archive Activism! Archive Every “News” Link You Post, Cross Platform
This guy has been posting some useful information regarding coronavirus – I just posted about UK imposing forced quarantine. The FT article I shared was behind a paywall.
So I picked it up from – http://archive.ph/
He also says that you can get articles from – https://archive.org/web/
As I understand it, I can share the article for “satire or discussion”, and guess what ? My posts have a comments section, ie a discussion, so I can re-post under copyright fair use rules.
Anyway – I’ll let “Styxhexenhammer666” explain more about “archive activism”, in order to hold the fakestream media to account :

Jordan Peterson – Peterson Family Update – February 2020
I didn’t know he was sick, I hadn’t seen him around for a while.

How To Make FREE Money From Transferwise – Risk Free
I’ve been using Transferwise for about three years now. I don’t recommend things I’ve never used to others, otherwise I’d have talked about Transferwise on my blog before. I’ve made maybe 70 transfers with them by now, each of which went flawlessly. It’s a service I use regularly, and is convenient and efficient for helping manage my money, and saves me money.

What’s Beyond Space ?
My local TV station has been showing World Science Festival, TED, and some other science shows. It’s fascinating to hear the accepted theories on how the universe was created, stars, black holes etc. From what I understand our universe is thought to be a little under 14 billion years old, which is a staggering length of time …
Some of the other quantities like the number of stars (10-200 sextillion) and number of planets they think are in our universe are even more vast, so vast in fact it’s pretty challenging to comprehend things like – there are (perhaps) more stars in our universe than grains of sand on all the beaches on earth.
From what I understand, our universe is expanding, has been since the beginning. It’s what scientists call “inflation”. Liking to think beyond what I’m told, I do puzzle about what exactly the universe is expanding into.
Is there simply more “space” which is infinite ?
Or is “space” being created to expand into ?
Or, something else ?
Cheers

WARNING – Beware Of PayPal Phishing Emails
I’ve received now a second email from an unknown source that masquerades as an official PayPal email. The idea of the sender is to get me to disclose my login details of my PayPal account, so that they can rob me, basically.
Usually my iCloud email puts these straight in the spam folder, but for whatever reasons iCloud doesn’t recognise these emails as spam.
