This is a very quiet, quietly despondent board

The quietest I've ever known it

Weekends are always quiet in here lately. I guess people need a break given the nature of a lot of the things posted in the last year.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

I have been desperately catching up on more material here than I can recall in a long time: There have been more 90 minute videos that I have to watch at 2x with closed captions to catch up on.

Nap are mercifully ~30 minutes, but Nima is 90 minutes. Its been very hard work (for me at least).

There has been great diversity. New sources constantly (the wonderful discussion between Lowkey and Matt Kennard was a new format). The discussion “The Tea” with a Palestinian-Egyptian journalist was another new format I had not seen before. I am extremely grateful to all who past here - people here are either pre-screening a lot of material or they have an extremely good sense of what is quality material because what gets posted is uniformly informative compared to my own inane comments.

Thank-you everyone.

Best regards, Shyaku

I agree with you on the amount of content (I'm guilty of posting longer videos as I tend to see a lot of them so I apologise for the eye strain

). As a side note, I do try to watch first so as to pre-screen but when they are from known entities I tend to post as I'm watching. That episode of "The Tea" seems to be her first one; I hope she keeps going at that level.

I think the original comment was about the general drop-off in posters at the weekend which I think is noticeable. Only the ones with no life like me are lurking here on Sundays

I also have to second your thanks; this place really is a godsend as it's impossible to "see" everything, every source, every story and there is so much posted here that would be missed otherwise and without it....the main-stream lies and inanity blizzard.

Long live the lifeboat, weekends and all

Seconded : )

I assume that all those from the south are on demos in London or in gaol during the weekends ;O)
