A Nice, Clean, Blog Colonoscopy!

That's what I like to see. Found: 0 Results. 😎 

A couple times a year I check muh blog out at Lumen. 

Lumen checks (and also logs) your URL for free but part of that depends if the host reports to Lumen. According to Lumen, it collects reports of complaints, Copyright violation, etc. 

Google/Blogger states on their Terms of Service (TOS) they report all complaints to Lumen. I don't know what other platforms report to Lumen (WP, IG, X, etc) because I've no presence online other than here at the Good folks at Blogger. And I mean that. 

Short course on Lumen if your host is Blogger (or maybe other Google owned service, like You Tube, again I don't know, never used Lumen for YT).

First, go to Lumen at the link in the first second sentence. Enter full URL. Click Go. You'll get to prove you're NOT a Robot by clicking crosswalks, motorcycles, cars or something. You get the, "Hoo-Ray you're not a Robot, hold on" message.

You'll see your URL and under "the box" a bunch of entries. Ignore them. Unlikely they have anything to do with your site, it's all populated with partial, slight matches that have nothing to do with your results. 

What you want to do is click on ADD MORE and narrow your parameters. A sub-menu to pick from for Title, Topic, Tags, Recipient, etc. Then in the ADD MORE box you type in what you want added to the search. You need to click on the ADD MORE button each time to add another specific "drill down" item. 

When you've used some or all of ADDS,  click GO or Continue, I forget which. Then, "Taa-Daa", the Results. If you're using Blogger, getting "FOUND: 0 RESULTS" is just what you want to see.   

I maintain Google/Blogger TOS. Far too many I see whining, "muh soooooooooshuuullllllll meeeeeeediiiaaaaaa account was suspended or 'I'm ba-ba-banned. Waaaah'!" Well, did you break TOS? "Uhhhh...I really don't know." WTF are they talking about. They know they broke TOS.   

My previous Blog Colonoscopy (6 or more months ago) also "FOUND: 0 RESULTS". Who doesn't want to share good colonoscopy news? 🤣 

EDIT/ADDED: I am not, in any way, affiliated with Lumen.

Let's eat at FlyDining.

Daily Mail: Heart-stopping moment diners nearly plunge to their deaths from 'restaurant in the sky''.

The terrifying incident occurred at a concept restaurant in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sunday as a group of guests sat suspended more than 100 feet in the air.

Footage taken by one diner showed the platform operated by FlyDining appear to buckle as guests screamed in horror high above the ground.
[.]
'In mid air at 100 feet the cable SNAPPED! In that moment, all I could do was pray and tell everyone to stay calm.'

In a separate video, another diner was seen pointing her camera toward the ground below and asking, 'Who signed me up for this?'

Within seconds, the clip showed, the platform became unstable.
[.]
FlyDining franchise owner Scott Zuckerman told El Nuevo Dia that there was no risk to the 13 guests or staff, who were safely lowered to the ground.

'A minor incident occurred where a safety rope used for wind protection was released, causing slight movement that led to the roof of the platform to make contact with the boom of the crane,' FlyDining Puerto Rico said in a statement posted on Instagram shortly after the incident Sunday.

'There were no structural failures or safety risks, and all systems remained secure.'

"...a slight movement..." 🙄

Burning Man attendees told to shelter in place.

CNN: Burning Man attendees told to shelter, conserve food and water.

Tens of thousands of people attending the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert are being told to conserve food, water and fuel as they shelter in place in the Black Rock Desert after a heavy rainstorm pummeled the area, festival organizers said.

Attendees were surrounded by thick, ankle-deep mud and organizers halted vehicles from traveling in or out of the festival after heavy rains started saturating the area Friday evening.

Hannah Burhorn, a first-time attendee at the festival, told CNN in a phone interview Saturday the desert sand has turned into thick clay and puddles and mud are everywhere. People are wrapping trash bags and Ziploc bags around their shoes to avoid getting stuck, while others are walking around barefoot.

ABC News: Entrance to Burning Man in Nevada closed due to flooding. Festivalgoers urged to shelter in place.

The entrance will be closed for the remainder of the event, which began on Aug. 27 and was scheduled to end on Monday, according to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the Black Rock Desert where the festival is being held.

More than one-half inch of rain is believed to have fallen on Friday at the festival site, located about 110 miles (177 kilometers) north of Reno, the National Weather Service in Reno said. At least another quarter of an inch of rain is expected Sunday.

Organizers urged festivalgoers to conserve their food, water and fuel.

Officials haven’t yet said when the entrance was expected to be opened again.

Conserve fuel? Aren't these the granola-headed, vegan, no fossil-fuels, solar/wind power, anti-establishment crowd?

Oh, not the Burning Man Festival! How Sad! Let's hope they're not trapped there forever 'n ever!

Mayhem at the diner.

Woman takes out full-page newspaper ad to shame ‘filthy cheater’ husband.

NY Post: Woman takes out full-page newspaper ad to shame ‘filthy cheater’ husband.

A scorned wife has taken out a full-page advertisement in her local newspaper, publicly humiliating her husband for being a “dirty cheater.”

The woman, identified only as Jenny, expressed her rage in the Aug. 12 edition of the Australian paper Mackay and Whitsunday Life.

“Dear Steve, I hope you’re happy with her,” the ad, which was published in large font and capital letters, read. “Now the whole town will know what a filthy cheater you are. From Jenny. P.S. I bought this ad using your credit card.”

"I bought this ad using your credit card.” So...he got the points for frequent flier miles and cash back on purchases, then?

Bette Midler receives grade of D-minus. Barely passes class on how to use garage door opener.

Breitbart: Tone Deaf: Bette Midler Salutes Housekeepers Around the Globe After Getting Familiar With Her Appliances.

Bette Midler thought it was a good idea to publicly salute housekeepers and express gratitude for her kitchen appliances — objects she claims she has gotten to know better as the coronavirus pandemic ravages the nation.

“I never knew my appliances as well as I’m starting to know them,” the left-wing activist said. “So grateful to #Kenmore and #Maytag. This is no joke. I salute housekeepers around the globe, doing your best to keep your families well, safe and alive.”

Men are "invading" a women's "sanctuary". Caitlin and Kaitlin are upset!

Oh, no! Women are upset!

NY Post: Men are showing up to the Wing and women are pissed.

The Wing was supposed to be the ultimate sanctuary for women: decidedly feminine in design, with walls and furniture in shades of millennial pink and a thermometer set at a women’s-clothing-friendly 72 degrees. Conference rooms and telephone booths are named after feminist icons like Anita Hill and fictional literary heroines such as Hermione Granger of “Harry Potter” fame. It offers perks that other co-working spaces can’t match — showers stocked with high-end beauty products and events featuring big names such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Critics of the Wing were quick to point out the lack of diversity in the spaces, but the company’s expansion and popularity has brought up a completely different issue that was never expected to arise: straight men wanting to come in and hang out.

Sure, it’s not against the rules for men to be at the lady lair, which costs anywhere from $185 to $250 a month in the US to join. But that’s only because legally the company can’t ban men.

“There’s usually at least one [man] whenever I visit,” says Kaitlin Phillips, 29, a member in New York for the past two years. “It’s bizarre to choose to occupy a space women specifically wanted for themselves. Classic patriarchal entitlement complex.” (Hey Kaitlin, does "you reap what you sow" ring a bell? - DD)
[.]
“At first it was jarring,” says a 30-year-old longtime New York member, who asked to not be named. “It started about a year ago and it’s getting worse. A guy even checked me out a few weeks ago. The whole purpose of the space is to not have to deal with anything like that.” (How does she know a woman has never "checked her out"? -DD)
[.]
The Wing’s large membership — more than 11,000 worldwide, according to reps — meant it couldn’t pass as a “social club,” and therefore can’t discriminate based on gender. This, coupled with a lawsuit brought by a 53-year-old man (GOOD FOR HIM! - DD) earlier this year claiming gender discrimination, led the Wing to formally adopt a membership policy: “The Wing is a space designed for women with a women’s-focused mission. Members and guests are welcome regardless of their perceived gender or gender identity. Recognizing that gender identity is not always consistent with someone’s sex assigned at birth, we do not ask members or guests to self-identify.”
[.]
But all of the women The Post spoke to had the same questions: Why would a man want to go to the Wing, anyway? Just because he can? (YES! YES! JUST BECAUSE WE CAN! DEAL WITH IT. - DD)
[.]
Up until about a year or so ago, when the space was truly a women-only sanctuary, members said they could comfortably walk around braless in a robe after a shower. Now, they say, they’re constantly looking over their shoulders, wondering who the loud dude chewing his lunch is. (Ummmm, yeah - because women never do anything annoying. Ever. - DD)

Numerous California members tell The Post that the phenomenon is getting out of hand. (The horror and indignity of it all. - DD)

“It’s just annoying,” says Caitlin White, a 31-year-old West Hollywood member who sees at least one man working in the space each day. “Why do men need to be there? Why can’t they respect the spirit of the place? Men have to have everything.” (YES! YES! Men have to have EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! - DD)
[.]
“I glare at the men and I glare at the members who bring them,” says the anonymous New York member. (Ooooh - she sounds hostile. Sounds like someone needs Anger Management therapy? - DD)

I thought Scrapbooking was Teh Women's Sanctuary. Am I wrong?

Such intolerance from these women at The Wing. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.

Now Accepting New Members! MEN Only!

Pardon me, Ms. Fiorina, but nobody gives a fuck about what you think about impeachment.

CNN: Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said she thinks it is "vital" that President Donald Trump be impeached, but stopped short of calling for his removal from office and did not rule out voting for him again in 2020.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO told CNN on "Boss Files with Poppy Harlow" that she sees the President's conduct as impeachable and "destructive to the republic."

Carly should stick to what she does best; grinding tech companies into financial distress.

Wiki: Carly Fiorina's forced resignation from Hewlett-Pacard.

HP's revenue doubled and the rate of patent filings increased due to mergers with Compaq and other companies during Fiorina's stint as CEO. In addition, HP's cash flow increased by 40%, to around $6.8 billion. However, the company underperformed by a number of other metrics: there were no gains in HP's net income despite a 70% gain in net income of the S&P 500 over this period; the company's debt rose from US$4.25 billion to US$6.75 billion; and its stock price fell by 50%, exceeding declines in the S&P 500 Information Technology Sector index and the NASDAQ.
[.]
...the board brought back Tom Perkins and forced Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company. The company's stock jumped 6.9 percent on news of her departure, adding almost three billion dollars to the value of HP in a single day.

Read more at Fortune (September 2015): Carly Fiorina’s disastrous record as HP’s CEO.

Depending on sources, Fiorina is worth $60 million or between $30 to $100 million.

In March, 2016, she endorsed Senator Ted Cruz as the only Republican who can beat then-candidate Donald Trump. Good call, Carly, good call. Dice or a Magic 8-Ball on that one?

Finally, in September, 2016, she publicly voiced her support for Donald Trump for President.

Good call on that endorsement, Carly. See - for all of us - the goal is to make the right decision, or the better decision, more often than making the wrong one. This can be an elusive deliberation sometimes.

What fun it would be sitting around with the H-P BODs during her tenure, having a few drinks, listening to them recall their time with Carly as the CEO. I bet a lot of the stories would begin with... 

"Remember the time Carly suggested that we [fill in the blank]," followed by riotous laughter. 

 "Remember when Carly said she wanted to be the president," followed by lungs being hacked up from laughter.

Fiorina now drags herself out of her plastic bubble for an appearance on the biased CNN for no reason other than to dump on Trump. That chip on Carly's shoulder must be a big and permanent one.

9th US Circuit Court of Appeals upholds Trump Admin Title X. Planned Parenthood departure as soon as Monday.

NBC2: Planned Parenthood faces critical decision after abortion-referral restriction upheld:

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday denied Planned Parenthood's request to reverse its order allowing the Trump administration's Title X abortion clinic-referral restriction to go into effect -- a blow for abortion rights activists after the organization threatened to pull out of the federal family-planning program over the rule.
[.]
[Mia Heck, director of external affairs at HHS' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health] pointed to an earlier statement accusing Planned Parenthood of "actually choosing to place a higher priority on the ability to refer for abortion instead of continuing to receive federal funds to provide a broad range of acceptable and effective family planning methods and services to clients in need of these services."

National Catholic Register: Planned Parenthood to pull out of Title X.

The decision is set to take effect Aug. 19, the date by which funding recipients are required to make a “good faith” undertaking to comply with a new rule barring the referral of clients for abortion services.

After it was announced in final form in February, the Protect Life Rule was subject to court challenges from abortion providers and several states. In June, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals determined that the rule could come into force. In July, judges refused to issue a stay against that decision.

Planned Parenthood informed the court on Wednesday that, unless they reversed its refusal to grant a stay, it would leave the Title X program on Monday.

Planned Parenthood’s acting president Alexis McGill Johnson said the group refused “to let the Trump administration bully us into withholding abortion information from our patients.”

Calling the Protect Life Rule a “gag on health care providers,” Johnson said in a statement that the rule is “a blatant assault on our health and rights, and we will not stand for it.”

Yeah, well, PP faced a choice (no pun intended) and they made their decision. It wouldn't be surprising if PP backtracks on this considering how much Liberal organizations love public funding. But doing so would compromise their ideological price of human life, of which they've just determined. Now, if they can just stop whining over their choice...(pun intended).

Gays denied a Proclamation for Pride celebration by Columbia Heights city claim discrimination.

 Columbia Heights City council meeting; KSTP

KSTP: Concerns of discrimination raised after Columbia Heights mayor refuses to issue proclamation for Pride festival.

Columbia Heights LGBTQ residents wanted to celebrate the city's first Pride festival, set to take place this coming Saturday.

They had hoped the celebration could start at Monday's city council meeting.

Instead, the group packed the small chambers for a different reason: to protest the mayor's decision not to issue a proclamation, recognizing and celebrating the inaugural event.

Explaining her decision, Mayor Donna Schmitt said the pride festival didn't fit within the guidelines for the ceremonial documents.

However, Schmitt did confirm to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, those guidelines were developed the same week that organizers of the pride festival began asking about a proclamation. (So what about the timing of the Guidelines? - DD)

"It is not about a group, it's about, let's follow the guidelines," Schmitt said during an interview. "They can go out and celebrate, they are more than welcome to rent our parks and have a family friendly event as they have requested."

Organizers of the event say the decision has created concerns about discrimination in the city.

Amada Marquez Simula, who has been planning the event for months, said the group feels the event fits within the guidelines for recognition.

"She didn't think that it was important enough for a proclamation," Simula said.

Residents who went to Monday's council meeting admonished the mayor, voicing their frustrations during the public comment period.

"Right now, the eye is on Columbia Heights that our city government is biased against the LGBTQ community," Simula said.

Mayor Schmitt responded to those criticisms during an interview with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, saying her decision was not motivated by the discrimination of any group.

"I just hope they realize, they don't represent everyone in the city either," Schmitt said.

The Pride festival will happen regardless.

Selection from the Columbia Heights City Proclamation Guidelines:

A proclamation doesn't validate anyone. We are all responsible for our own validation. Validation comes from within, not from a proclamation.

Enjoy the festival. Celebrate. Have a great picnic. Be Happy. Have Fun. Don't Drink and Drive. Enjoy the Day, I hope the weather is great! Savor the limited amount of time we all have on harmony, instead of a proclamation.

Conservative Men Are Obsessed With, and are Convulsing in Anxiety, as AOC rises to influence. Yeah, that's the reason.

It's more like fascination with what outrageous AOC act or statement will occur next. While others have different opinions. And science. Can't forget the science. 

Laura Bassett, Senior Politics Reporter at the HuffPoPoo states science tells us why Conservative men are "obsessed" with AOC. HuffPoPoo:

Conservative writer Ed Scarry posted a photo of [Cortez's] backside on Twitter, questioning whether her black suit was befitting of a “girl who struggles.”
[.]
A Republican strategist referred to her as “the little girl” on Fox News, which runs segments about her constantly.
[.]
The obvious explanation is that men have literally never seen a woman in her 20s in the halls of Congress before. She’s attractive, telegenic and good at social media. She dances outside her Cannon House office. Conservative men are confused at being drawn to this bright rising star in the Democratic Party while loathing everything she stands for.
[.]
...what you might call “AOC Derangement Syndrome.” Indeed, some experts say conservative men are obsessed with Ocasio-Cortez because they’re threatened by her. (ARFKM? - D.D.)

Conservatives tend to respond to fear more strongly than liberals do, according to Bobby Azarian, a neuroscientist whose expertise in anxiety has led him to examine political behaviors. His research has found that the brains of conservative people are likely to display the same attention biases as the brains of people with anxiety.

"Conservatives tend to respond to fear more strongly than liberals do." Please. Liberals fear everything. Even a border wall. Their entire political ideology is rooted in keeping themselves and their supporters in various states of fear. It's called fear-mongering.

The writer and neuroscientist are mistaking humorous reactions to AOC's real life antics as anxiety. I'll give the prognosis a shot from basic, Psych 101: When an adult acts childish and immature; "correction" (as in pointing out the multitude of factional errors AOC has stated) is how you can expect to be treated. And sometimes parody, satire and making fun of adult buffoonish behavior comes with it. Life is Hard.

I'd think a "telegenic, social media-aware, girl in her 20s" would know this, but maybe not. She turns 30 in October, not that it matters. Although I don't know anyone who refers to an almost-30-year-old as being "in their twenties." Except for the HuffPoPoo writer.

Her media interviews, her Tweets, her disrespect of past, SENIOR members of her own party, all warrant admonition and correction from others. She goes out of her way in calling attention to herself (I think she's attention-starved) and provides multiple daily episodes of her cluelessness. Of course people will react, correct, and yes, parody her.

AOC Solves Vexing Puzzle

Let's all pretend that the HuffPooPo story and Bobby the Neuroscientist are infallible. Damn, that sure says A LOT about "us Conservatives and men", huh?

We'll await a future column at the HuffPoPoo with Bobby the Neuroscientist's infallible conclusion analyzing why AOC's fellow Dems are CTSD (Current Traumatic Stress Disorder) and apoplectically anxiety-ridden over her behavior. You know...something more than the already DSM - 5 diagnosis of Biological LiberTardism.

If AOC was a Republican, she'd be referred as the term so often applied to the adversaries and targets of Minnesota's disgraced and resigned U.S. Senator, Al Franken, "an Idiot." She dishes it out, she's going to be on the reciprocating side as well. AOC is a public figure and an adult.

And, in what can only be some gross, inadvertent, unawareness and oversight on the part of the HuffPooPo, I could not find a single story on Ed Buck. What has happened to journalism?

Technology provides us, if we choose it, to bypass the physically strenuous act of dialing a phone to order a pizza. Instead, if we choose, we can order said pizza by a few keystrokes on an app. When the pizza arrives, we can if we choose to engage technology, answer and open the door for said pizza, thereby avoiding having to get up off our ass to obtain said pizza. Payment and tip concluded long ago via the app.

Then the task of actually having to feed ourselves is upon us. Will someone break out in a sweat lifting those slices? Pull a humerus or ulna muscle? The act of chewing? Strenuous, pain-inducing torture. Anyone wanna wager that future members of The Seated App Generation will see increases in heart and circulatory-related health problems?

Go ahead, Have a slice. You know you want it!
