The site comes up quickly, which it was not doing before on my iphone — sometimes it would time out. That is very, very nice.
It is still ignoring my request to remember my nym and email. It may be remembering them on a thread, I’ll check that, but if I shut the page and open it later, I have to retype everything.

Safari on iPhone 5/6 still doesn’t remember my nym, but that’s not new. Everything else is working and pretty much has been all weekend, I don’t think I’ve been affected by these latest kinks…
David Axelrod: “Kind of amazed and appalled by the number of folks on Left who applauded the expulsion of @PressSec and her family from a restaurant. This, in the end, is a triumph for @realDonaldTrump vision of America: Now we’re divided by red plates & blue plates!#sad. 9:09 AM – Jun 24, 2018”.
The problem with guys like Axelrod is that nothing of real import offends them politically, leastwise not sufficiently enough to draw a line over anything. Bush-Cheney stampede American into waging an inexcusable war, but “we’re all Americans here, kumbaya” was essentially their only response (and continues to be). That Americans were lied to in a matter of war and peace meant, and means, seemingly nothing to them.
The United States suffered a Pearl Harbor-type attack in November 2016. That dastardly and sinister attack has already far exceeded even 9/11 in terms of damage done to this country.
Yet, people like Axelrod are genuinely, inexplicably offended when a woman, currently employed to undermine American democracy itself on behalf of another republican POTUS, is courteously asked to leave a place of business. And I don’t get it. Democrats like Axelrod consciously abdicated their responsibility to fight the bastards over a plot to war. Now they have the gall to lecture Americans about political manners? While the country is still under sustained attack both from within and without? Who the hell do they think they are? What’s wrong with those people?
Best comment that I have seen on this sort of thing, though I cannot remember the source (and I’m going to mangle the wording):
MLK wanted an America in which people are judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
Republicans bar people from restaurants due to the color of their skin.
SHS was barred from a restaurant due to the content of her character.
There’s no liberal hypocrisy here at all, just the vision that MLK dreamed of
I never previously had that problem so many others had, of the name and email boxes blanking out my information each time, but since last night I’ve been having exactly that problem. Hope that can get fixed, fast.
Also, the quick links thing still doesn’t work. There’s nothing there.

Except for the constantly loading ads choking the site – typing that line took 2 minutes – the desktop is ok on my kindle. The mobile doesn’t have a remember my nym field.
40.
Barbara
@No Drought No More: Axelrod seems not to understand that the Red Hen would have served SHS and Kristjen Nielsen before they became advocates for crimes against humanity. The idea that every political choice, and every action in furtherance of that choice, is morally neutral to the point that no one who makes it or serves an administration that makes it, should be even minimally accountable poses a very real risk when someone like Trump comes along. Being asked to leave a restaurant might be humiliating but it hardly registers above zero on whatever scale is used to weigh harm to victims.
ETA: Chrome is remembering my information now.

And yet democrats like Axelrod have their back. It’s not a capital crime on their part, of course. But they have nothing to offer the party by way of advice on that score anymore, either. No doubt if-and-when they they finally wise up, it will become a far stronger and more formidable democratic party for their having done so.

Typing from the iPad was very slow – letters not showing up and then showing up in bunches. Dunno what causes that.
Hear ya on that. Rolled Firefox back to 56 within the first hour after the newer Quantum ‘upgrade’ happened in January. Sadly, while there is a NoScript for the newer Firefox, it is nowhere near as user friendly as the old one, which Just Worked. And the developers say that there won’t be a version equivalent to the old one forthcoming.

However – there always is a however, isn’t there – the ‘Stop loading / Reload’ button (in Firefox) still flickers madly and the info line as to what Firefox is up to keeps frantically going through messages of ” Read …”, “Waiting …”, Transferring ..”, etc, with the word fragment ‘google’ appearing suspiciously often.
It’s probably the Google vampire sucking the intertubes dry.

It doesn’t bear thinking of.

Repeating for Alain’s benefit: The underlying cause for not remembering my nym on the mobile site (iPhone, Safari) seems to be that I don’t have a “Save my name” checkbox on my mobile, so it apparently interprets that as the unchecked state.
And when I displayed desktop version on the phone, I got a box, checked it, and was remembered the next time I switched to mobile. But after posting from the mobile site, it again acted as if I was unchecked.

OT apparently ducks chase laser pointers too, 1 video led to lots more, if Tamara is around.
Ceci n est pas mon nym
@Gelfling 545: I would definitely OD if I tried consumption of straight unfiltered news. My system couldn’t take it. I need it cut with snark and animal videos, which I get here and at Wonkette. We don’t seem to have a huge influx of irritating trolls either. Wonkette gets more (angrier ones too) but they don’t last long.
That may change as it gets closer to election time and Putin ramps up the Troll Farm.

Hello again!
Glue drying on current project. Reloaded BJ, found my name and eddress not there. Typed them in again, checked ‘remember me’ box. Let’s see what happens now…
Meanwhile, on current national issue, there is the old Pennsylvania riddle:
Q – Why is Marriage like unto The Tariff ?
A – They’re both ways to
Protect the Domestic Enterprise, and
Encourage the Infant Industry

And I have gone from saved to unsaved, do I need to do a penance or something?. @YetAnotherJay formerly (Jay S): Reply works.
ETA I can edit.

When I navigate to https://balloon-juice.com/2018/06/25/now-let-me-tell-you-a-story/ my nym is gone. When I use the side arrows to come back it shows up again in previous posts.
YetAnotherJay formerly (Jay S)
Nope not just the side arrow. It appears to be post specific. I can jump back and forth using the recent post list and my nym vanishes and reappears.
YetAnotherJay formerly (Jay S)
I’ve got to remember to tick the save box when I post after my nym vanishes otherwise all is lost (across posts)
