The Burning Platform

The history of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict is a long and winding one, and no date is of more import in this recent timeline than October 7th, 2023: a day which has been likened by Israel’s leaders as the country’s “9/11”. (As if that statement alone doesn’t give the game away). In an audacious and bombastic attack, Hamas was credited with taking one of the most advanced surveillance gathering networks in the world by “surprise”, penetrating deep into Israel and taking hundreds of hostages. Just hours into the attack, a former Israeli speechwriter at the UN was among the first to spread the (largely) unsubstantiated reports of sexual atrocities. This was followed closely by reports of beheaded and barbecued babies, spread by a well known and fanatical Israeli influencer. The Hamas “barbarians” had gone too far this time, and what has followed is a “gloves-off”, unrestrained annihilation of all those deemed to be Hamas — which conveniently includes the entire voting aged populace of Gaza.

New Version of TBP Comments Plugin

Because the world moves on (read The Dark Tower by Stephen King [even if you think you don’t like Stephen King]), sometimes you have to adapt. Even curmudgeons sometimes have to adapt (or die – also a valid choice).

Over time, software changes. The software platform that this blog runs on (WordPress) is constantly being updated to make improvements and also to beef up security against malicious bots, people, and code — which is a very real thing on the interwebs and which would [TODAY] take TBP off the Internet without playing constant defense against it.

When the platform changes, all the other code that runs on that platform has to update along the way. I’ve left the commenting plugin that we run on TBP un-updated for many, many years and there started to be some functional and some security issues with the old code.

At the same time, some of the other plugins (that affect how commenting works) we’re running on the site abruptly decided to start charging fees that would have made this site financially unviable. So we had to make some decisions and part of those decisions involved finally updating the commenting plugin.

I’m still messing with settings, trying to make the new version work as closely as possible to the old version. There are some definite improvements. For example:

Embedding Images

You no longer have to click a link and paste the URL for an image into a box at the top of the page.

You can now just paste the image URL directly into the comment box and the image should render as an image (not a URL) when your comment is posted. Try it and let me know below if it doesn’t work, exactly HOW it doesn’t work and I’ll fix it.

Use the comments on this post to tell me what’s not working. But you have to tell me in a way that I can understand what’s actually not working. Here’s an example of something I can’t do anything about:

“When I try to post an image it doesn’t work.”

Here’s an example of something I can do something about:

“When I tried to reply to BL’s comment above, it wouldn’t post and I received an error message pop-up that said “invalid e-mail” – and the error message kept activating no matter what (correct) e-mail I typed in.

So I logged in to respond. Which is something I won’t be able to do always. Can the e-mail trigger be deactivated? Or not?”

A lot of what you tell me is probably going to be specific to your particular setup and I probably won’t be able to fix that. But if there is something that is really not working for everyone (or many), then that’s something I can probably do something about.

BOOM EDITORIAL THIS WEEK

Pfizer, Moderna, and Biotech are using new, controversial mRNA genetic therapy technology in their products which they have called “vaccines” and for which they have made claims of being “95% effective” and “safe”.

This genetic technology is under a deep cloud of suspicion. And many governments are implicated in their unprecedented promotion. Some are even funding future manufacturing facilities. However, it is now common knowledge that the Covid ‘vaccines’ do not prevent infection or transmission of the virus to others. Thus, it appears that they cannot be described as vaccines using conventional definitions of what constitutes a vaccine.
