We are having a bad thunderstorm right now and I’m going to log off and not continue to work on what I wanted to post today. I’ll try again soon. But I did want to turn over the post since its been up before I went to New York. (Hopefully you will at least notice the Avenue is loading faster?)
And to You Know Who You Are – thank you for the VM earlier this week – it came in this morning. I’m happy to know about the connection.
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
Those of you who have been saying that the Immortal should relocate should be openly thankful that we now can be safe from the hazards Earth’s solar rays because of his intervention. If he were not here, we would still be in a state of paralysis.
Communication with Earth has begun to open. Communication among those inside the Gate is now official, and within a few solar days we will be fully capable of hailing those outside the Gate.
Considering how many have died because of the reluctance of the Immortal to intervene promptly, We aren’t exactly delighted with ITS performance. If IT had acted before hundreds of thousands had died, we would be more lightly to agree with you.
You may be familiar with this “Immortal,” but we have just arrived and we are very grateful for {ITS, his} help. We had no buffer between us and this planet’s Sun so the help the “Immoral” provided was literally a life saver. I have been selected to be one of the first to visit Earth. Yes, we lost about 18,000 because of their Sun, but considering we lost more that 200,000 making it here, most of us are just anxious to “beam” down to planet Earth.
We agree.
Just like to say that I love the way your blog responds to the links on the right. It makes it so easy to access your work.
that’s nice. Tx
Wow! Glad to see the aliens are back. I thought you had given up on writing them in.
I have no control over what they do; sometimes I may have influence over things they don’t do…… 🙂
Let’s not say all is well with our communication system. I arrived here after some 235 Earth years after leaving my home. That amounts to a quarter of my life span. Now that we are here, I want to go down and experience what this planet has to offer. But, this solar system has a Star that is so active that my MotherShip can’t allow us to depart for the planet.
Departures are already underway for many MotherShips. Organization and technology is the determinant now.

BS, “the desire to be loved,” is a necessity for sentient beings. It verifies our existence and says that we are doing something good for others.

One can only marvel at what a person will do for a few dollars more. Bari Wells is getting $millions to push Erika Kirk’s money making schemes to be aired on CBS. CBS is getting their share of the idiots’ who will be programmed to moan the bigot who got what he deserved, a bullet in the neck. MAGA grief is a huge money maker.

Here’s a bit of news you might want to have if you are using an older apple or smartphone. For instance, you might experience sluggishness in your Galaxy S21 smartphone after downloading the latest One UI update. One of the major reasons behind this is the act of planned obsolescence, where smartphone manufacturers deliberately degrade their old smartphones’ performance through software updates so that users eventually have to upgrade to the new model of the device. As a heads-up, Apple was recently fined $500 million in the U.S. after it was found guilty of intentionally slowing down the performance of older iPhones through software updates.
In addition to this, new software updates come with new features, which often require more resources than the features your smartphone currently supports. For instance, One UI 7 is packed with many AI features, such as Gemini Live, Gallery Search, and more. So, installing this update on an almost five-year-old device like the S21 will not make much sense. These new features will consume most of the S21’s resources; as a result, your smartphone will not have enough resources for other tasks, which will eventually result in you facing different issues like constant lag.
So, does that mean you should never download a software update? No, that’s definitely not the case. Instead, what you should do is, if you have an extremely old device, only download software updates if you are facing any kind of issue on your smartphone that you believe could be fixed through a software update.
You should add this advise to your readers.
Regularly Restart Your Smartphone
The last thing I would recommend is regularly restarting your smartphone. While this may seem like a small thing, it has plenty of benefits. Restarting your smartphone regularly is so important that the National Security Agency recommends it as one of the many things you should do to keep your smartphone safe.
The first benefit of restarting your smartphone regularly is that it helps speed up your device. As it turns out, when you continuously use your smartphone for a long time, say, 7–8 days without a restart, a large amount of RAM gets cluttered in the background. As a result, you might start to experience lag or sluggishness when using your device. A simple restart, in this case, will help fix the problem.
Regularly restarting your smartphone will clear any exploits that have been planted on your device by a malicious actor. This will ultimately help keep your device safe from cyberattacks. So, how often should you restart your smartphone? This totally depends on the device you have.
Suppose you have a modern smartphone like the iPhone 16 or the Samsung Galaxy S24, which features the latest security updates and a fast processor. In that case, you can consider restarting it once every month. However, if you have an older device, like the iPhone XR or the Galaxy S21, then you should develop a habit of restarting it every week if you want it to keep running in good condition for many more years to come.
Most devices these days come with strong security, a fast processor, and at least enough space that you won’t have to think about upgrading your device for at least 3 to 4 years because of any of these reasons. In case you want to extend the lifespan even more, then you should follow the tips mentioned above.
What your photos are secretly telling everyone (and how to fix it)
Every photo you take is secretly telling a story you might not want to share. Buried inside the image file is hidden metadata that can show exactly when and where you took it, what camera or phone you used, and even your camera settings. This information can then be misused by anyone online to find your home address or track your movements.
This “secret” information is located within the EXIF metadata. Although this can be useful for sorting and finding your photos, it can just as easily turn into a privacy nightmare. Here’s what you need to know about EXIF — and more importantly, how to fix it.
Why You Should Remove Metadata From Your Photos
Any digital camera or mobile phone you use to take a photo automatically captures and embeds a bunch of details into it. This information is called metadata, specifically EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format), and includes a range of details about the captured photo, such as the camera settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed, white balance), dimensions, resolution, color space, GPS location, and the date and time of capture.
While this information is useful for anyone interested in learning more about a photograph, posting photos embedded with some of this information online can pose privacy and security risks. For example, the GPS coordinates in a photo of your backyard could be misused by someone to identify your address and doxx you.
By stripping out metadata from your photos, you can remove all EXIF information and share your photos online without worrying about giving away sensitive details. You can use various tools to remove metadata from photos. However, picking the right one is crucial for getting the best results.

In 1933, a young and beautiful Austrian woman took off her clothes for a movie director. She ran naked through the woods and swam naked in a lake. While King Kong was the most popular movie that year, Hollywood was buzzing about this scandalous film starring the gorgeous Austrian woman.
Louis B. Mayer of the big MGM studio called her the most beautiful woman in the world. The movie, called Ecstasy, was banned in many countries, which made it even more famous and valuable. Mussolini reportedly refused to sell his copy at any price.
The star of the film was Hedwig Kiesler. She joked that the secret of her beauty was “to stand there and look stupid.” In reality, Kiesler was far from stupid.
When she made Ecstasy, Kiesler was married to one of Austria’s richest men, Friedrich Mandl, the country’s leading arms manufacturer. His company later supplied weapons to the Nazis. Mandl showed off his beautiful wife at important dinners with Austrian, Italian, and German fascist leaders. At these meals—which included Hitler and Mussolini—Mandl often talked about the technology behind radio-controlled missiles and torpedoes.
Kiesler, a Jew, hated the Nazis and strongly opposed her husband’s business. Mandl punished her by locking her in his castle, Schloss Schwarzenau. In 1937, she escaped by drugging her maid, dressing as the maid, and selling her jewelry to pay for a trip to London. She escaped just in time: in 1938, Germany took over Austria, seized Mandl’s factory, and he, being half Jewish, fled to Brazil. Later, Mandl became an adviser to Argentina’s president, Juan Peron.
In London, Kiesler met Louis B. Mayer and signed a long-term contract with MGM, becoming one of their biggest stars. She appeared in more than 20 films, acting alongside Clark Gable, Judy Garland, and Bob Hope. Each of her first seven MGM movies was a hit. Still, Kiesler cared more about fighting the Nazis than making movies.
In 1942, at the height of her fame, she developed a new communication system for sending coded messages that could not be “jammed.” The system could guide torpedoes and bombs to always hit their targets—a technology designed to fight Nazis. By the 1940s, both Nazis and Allied forces were using similar radio-controlled technology that her ex-husband had promoted.
Most people today may not know the name Hedwig Kiesler or Hedy Markey. But many will remember one of Hollywood’s most famous beauties of the golden age—Hedy Lamarr. That was the name Louis B. Mayer gave his star actress.

You Jews need to lighten up.
When news broke of the antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia over the weekend, my first instinct was disbelief. Bondi is sunlight, surf, and happiness, the opposite of the dark, closed world we associate with ethnic hatred. And then came the second thought, the more unsettling one: of course it happened there. These days, hatred doesn’t require shadows. Increasingly, it reveals itself in broad daylight.
What the Bondi attack exposed was not a new virus but an old one that has learned how to survive in modern conditions. Antisemitism does not announce itself just with uniforms and torches. It reemerges through insinuation, through casual exclusion, through the quiet reclassification of people from neighbors into threats. History teaches that violence is rarely the beginning of this story. It is the punctuation mark at the end of a long paragraph that begins with normalization.
That paragraph was written with chilling clarity in 1930s Germany.
The Nazi persecution of Jews did not begin with death camps. It began with rhetoric and rules and with the steady narrowing of who counted as fully German. Jews were removed from professions, caricatured as corrosive to the national body, and gradually stripped of legal protections. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 formalized this exclusion by redefining citizenship itself, rendering Jews permanent outsiders in the country many had called home for centuries. Everything that followed was built on that legal and moral foundation.
Kristallnacht in 1938 — the pogrom that shattered synagogues and Jewish businesses — was not a spontaneous eruption of hatred. It was the logical outcome of years in which the government taught people that Jews did not truly belong. Once a society accepts that premise, violence becomes not only thinkable but righteous.
Which brings me to the United States today, far from the beaches of Australia. For a very long time, I have resisted making comparisons between what is happening here and Nazi Germany. Reluctantly, I have concluded that we can no longer ignore the striking parallels.
Syria is due for a big strike by the US. The parties that want that catholic families to take over have suggested that the family may actually be located in the US. Trump is so mad that he is not in the loop that he is looking for a reason to bomb Syria.
Vampiers are the spawn of many bloodlines on Earth and worlds in the Milky Way. Some are monstrous creatures forced to hide their faces and existence from society. Others are beings of age-old grace walking freely through the Known Universe of mortals.

The master vampires have powers that have evolved over countless centuries. They can use those powers on mortals and other vampires alike.
A master vampire is invulnerable to surprise attack, except in the moments when its bloodlust rises and its senses are utterly focused on its prey.
On the planet Earth they thrive in places where the ways of antiquity exist in league with the modern world.
There is one on earth that it is said can distract any vampire with her sensuality.
Exactly how does she do that? I’d love to be prepared in case I meet one.

Republicans just voted to BLOCK the renewal of the Obamacare subsidies. Now, 24 million people who buy insurance through Obamacare are facing 26% premium hikes.
The president of the United States is a psychopath. This is not about his policies — although lord knows, they will kill millions of people before he is through.
This is about Donald Trump himself — the putrid, malignant soul that occupies his broken-down body. The sick mind that, without our increasingly loosened guard rails, would conjure up a gulag or wherever autocrats like him send those they hate, usually without any real basis.
He is rotting from the inside and under his leadership, so is our nation.
