Te 21st century has been fraught with concerns about safety. From the micro level where we look at fraud and credit fraud and theft, for example, through to the macro level where we look at the terrorist threat. The issue here is that the nature of the terrorist threat keeps changing. So it's gone from organised groups as well as the lone wolf and the nature of what these different groups are targeting, whether it's cyber, whether it's aircraft, whether it's open places and spaces such as soft targets, stadiums, postcard targets. The nature of it is constantly morphing and changing. And this means that for organisations, extreme events sated from a terrorist attack exposes them to high levels of risk and uncertainty, which can stretch them to and beyond their limits. And so the difficulty is when we look in the context of New Zealand that although these extreme events are probably random and they're improbable, that they do actually occur and we need to be prepared. And this is a country without a history of a lot of threats, but the nature of the global threats now and the way it's morphing and changing is such that we need to be prepared and working together as much as possible so that there is very quick business recovery. The implications for society are that your critical national infrastructure can easily be exposed to extreme events. For example, if your critical national infrastructure like communications, your food supply chains, your water and utility companies are private sector-owned, what have they done to prepare themselves in the event of an extreme event? So for example, in the UK, 80% of the critical national infrastructure is private sector-owned and often foreign-owned. So to what extent are they working with local government authorities, central government, so there's public-private partnership to prepare for extreme events, which means that there is a quick recovery and we're back to business as usual as soon as possible. From my extensive research and consulting with the British Government and British PLC, what we have found is that there is a great variation in degree of preparedness across sector and across regions in the UK and partly that is to do with the fact that some organisations have been more exposed to previous disasters or they have a lot of experience. They've had their resilience tested and they're able to use that knowledge to inform their current practice and also other organisations in their supply chain. But it does vary a lot in organisations in terms of the structure. Where does the business continuity manager sit? Do they have board representation? How much influence do they have over decisions about finance and what to invest in terms of preventing or being prepared for any kind of disaster? The degree of regulation, so airlines and banks are in highly regulated sectors, although many of them were coming to us asking for advice to learn from other sectors because they didn't want to just have the same knowledge flowing around the same ideas. They wanted best practice from other sectors, but regulation certainly sets a standard, a minimum of compliance and auditing. And also the culture of the organisation. Some are very audit and compliance driven where others see resilience as part of their whole organisational culture because they want to be able to be resilient to any kind of threat, not just the one that perhaps just experienced, which might have been flooding. They want to be able to be prepared for a pandemic, a terrorist attack, a flood or whatever it may be and therefore they want resilient capabilities right across your organisational culture. Some examples of this would be in the airline industry. Catering and onboard catering has always been known to be a point of vulnerability for airlines because the food could be poisoned or a bomb could be put in. The food delivery units. So some organisations have gone so far to mitigate that risk by actually not having catering onboard at all or having sandwiches or different kinds of onboard service. Certainly the low cost airlines have gone that way. They also outsource their security checking and get the airports to do it for them. But when we look at the differences to utility companies, there was a famous case of seven Trent in the UK which did not deal very well with the flooding in 2007. Then there was the PIT review. What happened there is like many organisations, there's still a expectation the Government is going to step in and resolve the problem at the point of the crisis and then probably help the organisation through the crisis. But actually the UK Government, like many governments in the world, with the nature of extreme events, want the private sector organisations to be prepared and manage themselves through this crisis. Because the unintended consequence is certainly in the UK flooding example was that generators got flooded which affected local hospitals which caused even more crisis and catastrophe. So these organisations that are now part of the critical national infrastructure that a private sector now need to show to governments and insurance organisations that they are being prepared. And I've seen this with the Canary Wharf Group in London. They have a resilience group that works very closely with the Government and all the big bank representatives come together for meetings with blue light services and prepare for all sorts of different scenarios and events, not just one kind but several of threats that might happen and then how would they respond to that collectively as a group considering they're all sharing a shared space in London. I think business continuity managers, for example, have quite a difficult time trying to convince people that sometimes there is a threat. And certainly in the UK there's a risk register for every region that you can go on the website and see what the risks are in your particular region which can educate managers and they can look to do scenarios with their staff, part of their training to look at how to be prepared for different types of events. And also they can work with local government agencies, organisations in their geographical area. So, for example, if it's a large shopping mall or if it's the CBD area, involve all the companies that are around a certain area and bring their representatives together with blue light services and government and so forth to play out some of these scenarios. It's called exercising and it's very common in the UK to come across these large exercises going on where they'll be playing out a scenario and close certain streets. And that's part of the public-private partnership so that there's a higher awareness amongst general population of what's going on. And that's something that's very useful but that often is just as the minimum. It's about getting everyone to be aware. So we could look at a recent example like Sydney with the Lint Cafe and you could ask questions about were those staff prepared for any kind of incident, were they aware that they are near the critical national infrastructure such as Channel 4 Studios which was right across the road and nearby they could potentially be involved in something at any time and also were the staff, had they practised scenarios to certainly in some of the large hotels here in Auckland I remember over 20 years ago being trained to be aware of bomb threats and certain types of things that might happen when there's high profile people staying in the hotel who could potentially be a target. So it's about that awareness at all levels of the organisation and making sure that everyone is prepared and aware that something could happen at any time. Organisations can improve their resilience through a number of means. It's just to recognise where they're located and so if you're near iconic sites like Sky Tower or postcard potential targets like museums or historic buildings or even Park any of these very big iconic structures then you have to realise you could be vulnerable as well not just if you're by an airport for example and the threat can be that your location is near other organisations similar to your own. So in a CBD for example I mentioned Canary Wharf before there's about 18 or 20 global banks there they're all there because they want to be together they want to cluster but by being all together they're actually raising their threat profile it's a higher level of risk by actually being all together because they can all be targeted in ways through terrorism which will mean that globally all their brands are affected in one go. So you have to be aware of where you're located the type of vulnerability that could be coming through whether it's a cyber threat within the organisation whether it's an external threat to your building or infrastructure or if it's to an organisation in your supply chain or your geographical area you need to think about your community resilience your corporate resilience has multi-layered levels of resilience you need to be thinking about and have a more joined up approach working with the public services on how you respond because the main aim is business recovery getting business back to usual and the recovery of the economy or the entire region as quickly as possible so therefore there's a real need not to be complacent not to think that some of the threats are not ever present they are present and it's about being aware that you need to be investing and being resilient and you need to be creating a culture inside the organisation that people are able to know what to do in the context of any kind of extreme event not just relying on the business continuity manager being able to be empowered and have it done exercises to look at different kinds of events that may happen and therefore know what to do if they're faced with some kind of crisis


My name is Sam Baknin, and I am the author of Ignan Selflab, Narcissism Revisible. So you have been abused, maltreated, harassed, and stalked.  But you must move on from victim to survivor. No one will do it for you. No one can do it for you. Not your therapist, not your best friend, not your nearest family. Only you can choose survival over victimhood. There are a few steps to this. The first one is abandon the narcissist. The narcissist initiates his own abandonment because of his fear of it. He is so terrified of losing his sources of supply and of being emotionally hurt that he would rather control, master, or direct the potentially destabilizing situation by causing, precipitating, and engendering his own abandonment. Remember, the personality of the narcissist has a low level of organization. It's chaotic. It is precariously balanced. Being abandoned could cause a narcissistic injury so grave that the whole edifice of the narcissist can come crumbling down. Narcissists usually entertain suicidal ideation in such cases. But if the narcissist had initiated and directed his own abandonment, if it is perceived by him as a goal that he had set to himself, he can and does avoid all these untoward consequences. The next one is moving on. To preserve one's mental health, one must abandon the narcissist. I have said that, but one must also move on. Moving on is a process, not a decision, nor is it an event. First, one has to acknowledge and accept painful reality. Such acceptance is a volcanic, shattering, agonizing series of nibbling thoughts and strong, intrusive resistances. Once the battle is won and fresh and harsh and agonizing realities have been assimilated, one can move on to the learning phase. What is a learning phase? We label everything around us and everyone around us. We educate ourselves. We compare experiences. We digest. We have insights. Then we decide and then we act. And this is what it means to move on. Having gathered sufficient emotional sustenance, knowledge, support, confidence, we face the battlefields of our relationships fortified and nurtured. This stage characterizes those who do not mourn but fight, do not grieve but replenish their self-esteem, do not hide but seek, do not freeze but move on. Move on, move on. This is your motto. This is your mantra. This is the key word. But of course, abandoning anyone and especially the narcissist. Horses want to go through a phase of grieving or mourning. Having been betrayed, having been abused. Inevitably, we grieve. We grieve for the image we had of the traitor and the abuser. The image that was so fleeting and so wrong. We moved the damage that he did to us. We experienced the fear of never being able to love or to trust again. And we grieve this loss of innocence. In one stroke, we had lost someone we had trusted and even love. We had lost our trusting and loving selves. And we had lost the trust and love that we had felt. And anything be worse? The emotional process of grieving has many phases. First, we are dumbfounded, shocked, inert, immobile. We play dead to avoid our inner monsters. We are ossified in our pain, cast in the mold of our reticence and fears. Then we feel enraged, indignant, rebellious and hateful.  And then some of us learn to forgive and to pity. And this is what we call healing. All stages are absolutely necessary and good for you. It is bad not to rage back, not to shame those who had shamed us. We deny, pretend, to evade. But it is equally bad to get fixated on our rage. Permanent grieving is a perpetuation of our abuse by other means. By endlessly recreating our harrowing experiences.  It is by moving on that we defeat our abuser, minimizing him and his importance in our lives. It is by loving and by trusting anew that we are now that which was done to us. To forgive is never to forget, but to remember is not necessarily to re-experience. Forgiving is an important capability. It does more for the forgiver than for the forgiven. But it should not be a universal indiscriminate behavior. It is absolutely legitimate to not forgive sometimes. It depends of course on the severity or duration of what had been done to you. In general it is unwise and counterproductive to apply to life universal and immutable principles. Life is too chaotic to succumb to rigid edicts and rules. Sentences which start with I never or I always are not very credible or clever and they often lead to self-defeating, self-restricting and even self-destructive behaviors. Conflicts are an important and integral part of life. One should never seek them out but when confronted with a conflict one should not avoid it. It is through conflicts and through adversity as much as through care and love that we grow. Even relationships are dynamic. We must assess our friendships, partnerships, even our marriages periodically. In and by itself a common past is insufficient to sustain a healthy, nourishing, supportive, caring and compassionate relationship. Common memories are unnecessary but not a sufficient condition. We must gain and regain our friendships, our love, our relationships on a daily basis. Human relationships are a constant test of allegiance and empathy. But can you remain friends with the narcissists? Can't you act civilized and remain on friendly terms with your narcissistic ex? Well, never forget that narcissists, at least the full-fledged ones, are nice and friendly only when they want something for you. Narcissistic supply, help, support, votes, money or sex. They prepare the ground, manipulate you and then come out with a small favor they need or ask you blatantly and surreptitiously for narcissistic supply. Sentences such as, what did you think about my performance or do you think that I really deserved the normal price? Narcissists are nice and friendly only when they feel threatened and they want to neuter the threat by smothering it with oozing pleasantries. Narcissists are nice and friendly when they have just been infused with a normal dose of narcissistic supply and they feel magnanimous and magnificent and ideal and perfect. To show magnanimity is a way of floating one's impeccable divine credentials. It is an act of grandiosity. It is an act of humiliating giving.  But all these, all these beneficence is transient. The petrol victims often tend to thank the narcissist for little graces. And this is the Stockholm syndrome. Hostages tend to emotionally identify with their captors rather than with the police. We are grateful to our abusers and tormentors for seizing even for a moment their hideous activities and for allowing us to catch our breath before the next blow descends. Some people say that they prefer to live with narcissists, to cater to their needs and to succumb to their whims because this is the way they had been conditioned in early childhood. It is only with narcissists that such people feel alive, stimulated and excited. The world glows in technicolor 3D in the presence of a narcissist and decays into sepia colors in the absence of a narcissist. I see nothing inherently wrong with such an approach. The test is this. If someone were to constantly humiliate and abuse you verbally using archaic Chinese, would you have felt humiliated and abused? Probably not. You don't understand archaic Chinese. He can't get to you. Some people have been conditioned by the narcissistic primary objects in their lives, parents, caregivers, to treat narcissistic abuse as if it were uttered in archaic Chinese to turn a deaf ear. The technique, this technique is effective in that it allows the inverted narcissists, the codependent narcissists, the covert narcissists, the narcissists willing mate to experience only the good aspects of living with the narcissists. And ignore the bad ones. It's the narcissists sparkling intelligence, the constant drama and excitement, the lack of intimacy and emotional attachment which some people prefer. Every now and then the narcissist breaks into abuse in archaic Chinese. So what? Who understands archaic Chinese anyway? Says the inverted narcissists to herself. And she survives. Even so, I have one nagging doubt. If the relationship with the narcissist is so rewarding, why are inverted narcissists so usually unhappy? So ego-distancing? And comfortable with who they are and what they do? So in need of help, professional or otherwise? Aren't they victims who simply experience the stop-home syndrome? Identifying with their kidnapper rather than with police? Aren't they victims who deny their own torment? Aren't they victims who fail to make the transition to survivors? Don't fall into this trap. Move on.


Before i get started, i need to volunteer. Somebody that the laptop Open, that would be willing to do a thing in the talk. You can do it from your seat. You don't have to get up. Back there? that guy. Just when i call on you, be ready to Go to wordpress.org and download core and unzip it. That's it. i'll explain it in the talk. You don't have to show it to anybody. If you approve your work, we're going to do that. Cool. All right. Everybody ready? we're ready? House ready? all right. I got a lot of slides, so pay attention. I'm dwayne. You can find all my stuff at mcdwayne.com For this talk, all the slides, all my github repo. Very quickly, i'm dwayne. I work at a place called pantheon. I'll get back to that. I love comic books, improv, Let's sing some karaoke tonight. I like knitting as well. You can find out more about me on twitter. I love twitter. Hit me up on twitter. I love it. If you could take a picture of me in Front of this picture, it would make me happy. And then tweet this out. Thank you very much. Thanks, ratio. Because this is an ongoing project For this year, for 2018. 2017, i spoke like 27 times and Do anything fun like this. I work for pantheon. We are a website management platform. It is elastic hosting. Any size website, you can throw it. And all sorts of awesome tools. Like the wpcl. I work with pantheon out of the box. But that's what we're here to Talk about, not where i work. But why the heck am i talking About word press command line interface? Because i believe you don't know the why of something. You don't really care about the whatever. What's down to this? Just raise your hand if this is Not true of your life. Yeah, we all do the same Things over and over again and over again. Stop repeating yourself. It's a core thing of computer Science. Do not repeat yourself. Dry. It's a thing to live by. Because robots, you can tell them what to do. And they're really, really good at doing the same thing over And over and over again. And doing really fancy things That i could not do myself manually if i tried for ten Years. Maybe ten years. But after a while, i would just get bored making pancakes. But now i'm ready for my magic tricks. Chris, if you are Ready, sir, on the count of three. Oh, wow, this is really small. On the count of three, you're Going to go to word press. Don't load it up yet. Okay, somebody else. This guy. On the count of three, you're going to go to wordpress.org And download core and unzip it. Ready? We're going to race. Ready? Mark, get set, go. Wow, there's really internet speeds in here really slow. You got it unzipped? Both of you do? All right, i have lost this race. I was supposed to show you that this is just an apache server And it's like saving it. And oh, yeah, here's my site that Built with menus that goes in apache server a second ago. I forgot to show that. It goes to my website. And this is 2016, the best theme ever. My twitter, google, even e-mail me there. I can play magic food. Oh, it didn't load the other Thing yet. I caught it mid-build. I can play blackjack. This is a fun game. Yeah, but i built this site and at the same time it took you to Download and unzip and sit there and look at me a little bit. I made a youtube video of exactly this and if you want to see The slides. Everything i'm going to show Today, i made animated gifs or videos of. So if i'm going way too fast, it's in the slides. Go find those. So what the heck just happened? What was that? What was that crazy site that i just built? And what was all this stuff running in the background that did Stuff? What? And if you notice, fun, stuff's in chinese on here. Hong Kong chinese. Just for the heck of it. Anyway, so what the heck did i just do? Well, a little quick history of the internet and computers. There used to be punch cards. This is actually how the Whole computer thing started is punch cards for wombs, actually. And they gave the idea of babbage and those lovely associates That, hey, we can make other machines do other computational Things. And eventually someone says, Instead of putting these cards in a thing and having it batch Process everything, what if we just put commands in one at A time and just typed them in. And they said, wow, it's a Really, really good idea. And there came unix. And somebody said, what if we just stacked these on top of Each other and let the machine read those in an order. And we got scripts. And then wpcli happened. I said it was a very abbreviated story. But that's it. That's the entire history of the internet, What you need. So wpcli is just a set of Tools, scripts, really, and php that are for managing Wordpress installs. And it's out on github. It's open source. You can go out there and please Contribute. Absolutely. It was maintained by These fine people. Christy and andrea have the credit Of creating this thing back in the day. Daniel took over and in 2017, january, this got rolled into wordpress.org as part of the Official project. Very, very proud of that. And wpcli.org is the shortcut to get you there, but all the Docs go out to wordpress.org now at this time. Which is awesome. So how do we do this thing? This is a tutorial. If you want to play along at home. Good luck. This goes really fast. So first we have to install this thing. Locally are on a server. We're going to need some stuff for that. Everything in this deck is Copy-pasted from wpcli.org or developer tools somewhere. Or the tool itself. But you're going to need bash, Our units like environment for those windows users.  But really, if you got local by Flywheel or the lando or any of those tools, it's right in There. You don't really need it to install it Separately. Anybody here on php5.3? Good. You should be on seven or later. Please. But this is what you do. This is how you install the thing. I know this is the scariest Part of the whole process. If you've never used the command Line before, if you're not like me and you go to the internet To check your weather by hitting the telnet server over at Weather underground still, which is still up and running since 93, nonstop, well, about 70% of the time it's nonstop. And you're like me, what the heck is that? It's really easy. It's like, hey, over the internet, copy the information from The url and put it in a file called wpcli. Which is a packaged up set of php files ready to go. Change the permissions to make that executable on our Machine. Now let's move it somewhere useful. If i type wp, i get that. The whole process looks Something like this. Then type wp. And it's just there. It works. That's the test screen To say, hey, this does the thing. Success. That's the hardest part of using wpcli. If you're scared of using it because, wow, it's going to be Hard to learn. No, the hardest thing is running Three commands on a terminal. That's it. After that, we can do a lot of crazy stuff with it. And fun stuff with it and very, very, very useful stuff With it. And at the end of the day, save a Lot of time. Here's some of the stuff that we Can do that we're going to go through today. Again, everything i made is animated gift. So if you're lost and you need to go back and consult, it Will be there. And of course, the ultimate Authority of this is the commands themselves. You can go to developer, well, the url, give these commands. But also, these are built into the tool itself. I'll come back to that. You should know the Structure of commands if you're going to attempt to Use this tool. Everything you'll ever do with Wpcli starts with wp.  And then a sub-command of that, like theme list or plug-in Update or plug-in install. And then some parameters. Like we saw in the last talk, dash, dash, activate. Well, activate a plug-in that you've just installed. That's what happened on that script i ran earlier. There's some global parameters that will always work on Anything you run, like prompt, which we'll get to as a fun one. Quiet, which just makes it quiet. So it doesn't give you very Verbose messages. And then there's some situational things. This varies around, but dry run is one of my favorites, Because it says do it, but don't actually do it. Tell me what you would do if it actually ran. And i have find a lot of safety in that. Because sometimes, like, that makes no sense. Let me go back and see what i'm trying to do. So you can type wp help in front of literally anything In the entire tool, and you get something that looks like this. One of the most beautiful parts of this project and why i get Excited about it, one of the reasons i get excited about it, Is all of the help docs come from the code itself. When you go to the website, all of that content came from the Tool being built. It's there. I learned wpcli on an airplane. Not kidding. I was bored. It's like i should learn this tool. And it was just wp help in every command and walk through It and learn the thing. So let's dig through the Command list. How am i doing on time? Awesome. I am right on schedule. So we can do things like download core that fast, depending on Your connection, of course. You can do things like who Loves making wp config php by hand? Nobody. So have a machine do it for you. In fact, i never remember what to do, so i just say Hey, i need these things. If it doesn't have a square Bracket, it's mandatory. If it has a square bracket, it's Optional. This isn't the most secure Container environment in the world i'll admit. But i got there and it generated it. And then you've heard of the five-minute install? This is the five-second install and how i install all of the WordPress sites that i ever work with. I just run dot bash, that build script from my desktop And it just runs. And it builds me sites that do Exactly what i want them to do. Search replace, arguably the Most powerful tool in the whole arsenal. This is how i found this tool in the first place, because i Completely hosed all of the urls moving between environments For a site that i was building for fun. And i said, how am i going to fix these urls? And it turns out it's old string, new string, and it Just does it. So here, hello world. Let's replace that with the first demo post. And there you go. And if you look back to the Example site i was running earlier, yeah, that's how i Replaced wcmi rocks right there for just another WordPress website, because it's not. You guys rock. With wpcli's search replace. You can do this. I don't have it in the slide, but you can do this Against sql or if you throw precise behind it, you can Do it all in the php. Do a php search replace. This comes super powerful. We need to combine it with things Like export. So if i'm going to migrate from my Dev server to a production server, i can kick out a new Database with the urls completely replaced, ready to Import, and it doesn't touch my dev at all. It just makes those changes in the new export as it's Doing it. Pretty powerful. That's where we talk about themes. And this wonderful fun Theme i found called 90s retro. Yes, of course you can install Themes with this. Here i'm actually activating it at The same time, but instead of going through and waiting for Screen paints, which just drive me nuts, waiting for screen Paint, waiting for screen paint, waiting for screen paint, Push a button, wait for screen paint, wait for screen paint, No. Type the line, there you go. Then you can do things like theme mod. I changed the background Here, which is covered up by an image on this particular one In the world. Badass. Which is the ugliest yellow. But it's fun to say. You can delete themes. How many people have themes That they are not using on an install? Yeah, get rid of those. If you're not using them, they're Dead code waiting for a security vulnerability. Seriously, get rid of them. Theme delete and clean up After yourself. It's that quick. Let's have some fun with posts. We can generate posts. That's easy. Sorry about the screen resolution on these. I don't like working with empty sites, and i really don't like Empty things either. So here i'm curling in. First i'm just building empty demos. Then i'm curling in data. This time baseball orm. Baseball ellipsum. And there it is. There's my baseball low arm ellipsum. I can do interesting fun things like post list. Which of course i can, because i'm in bash, just export. And i can throw a format in there of csv or json or xml if i'm Really trying to do something. And there it is. A post list that i can full control over site. Who's ever inherited a site and how am i going to sort through These posts? Yeah, this is how you do it. Post delete. I thought i replaced this image. So here's a post list. And let's just delete something Real easy. Delete two. This is the wrong image. Apologies. But it shows the thing. I deleted post two, and it's no longer there. Site empty. Wow, this is a powerful command. How many get to the end of building a dev site? I've got to get rid of all these posts now. Yeah, site empty. It just does it for you. Anything that's content, just kick it out the window. We don't need it anymore. I'm ready to do something Else with this site. Go from this site to site empty. Yes. And just like that, it's gone. They're just gone. Menus. One of my favorite fun things to do. This varies wildly theme to theme. So i will tell you don't Not write a one-time. I'm going to do this on all themes. Because it might not work. Themes vary wildly on how Menus work. So in this particular theme, I'm showing the wrong gif here. I'm doing site empty the Right way here. Anyway, here's where it works, Where i'm throwing more in. I name the menu, put it in a Place, place that menu, and then populate that menu. Those three. So if you're always building the same Kind of menus, all you have to do is swap urls and content Descriptions, and you basically have a scaffolding for Building menus very, very, very quickly. Talk plugins. Again, i have a lot of slides, A lot of content, and we're buzzing along. Of course, you can install plugins and activate them as we Saw in the last talk. You can also update them. This is a pretty good way to use it. This is one of the Things i do when i automate the updates on my website. It relies on this feature. The fact that it can see if Something needs updated, and i can run the update. Scripts do that for me. You can do it either Individually. There's dry run telling me what it would Do. Go ahead and do it when i Release dry run. I can also say all. You probably shouldn't run dash dash all on a production Site. This is a great argument for Dev environments. In a dev environment, blue Something up, let's go fix it. You can roll back. In a live environment, a little bit more embarrassing. Then you can do fun things. If you know, this is Actually guttenberg's installed doing this. If you know the short codes that you want to populate A post with to do something like make a functional blackjack Game and magic food happen inside of an actual post, Well, just make the post from a command line when you Install the plug-in.  Users. Of course, you can do things like create users. In fact, this is one of the other things i wanted to demo Live. I only got two live demo things here. Okay. Command not found. There we go. We're back to normal. Sorry if you can't see this. We're going to run dash user. User. Can't find post 22. Of course, you can't find Post 22 because it aired earlier. So let's look at wonderful world of vi for a second. Actually, i won't edit. But you can see here at the bottom, I've created one, two, three, four, five, six users. The users are now because when i said user list, Normally a user list as i show over in here, a user list Will show me what users are on the site, including e-mail. For this demo, i put up a live form and said, hey, If you want to help me with my site, bob, brad, chris, He put his full name in there, me, guy, and jim, real people. I said, okay, fill in this form. And they filled in and went to A csv file. They got piped out that i Uploaded here as data as a data one csv. Script ran through, created all of them and then created Comments for all of them on a post that doesn't exist Because an error happened earlier in a process. Anyway, where i'm saying only the user names exist is Because when you display anything from a list, you can Regulate it to just show certain fields. So how you would do that. Actually, we'll do this. Vi user. Lovely vi. This is bash script. And that's what i would Love for you all to take away from here. The wpcli is awesome in a time saver and in of itself If you're just getting to the command line and doing Everything. But you can also start doing Clever and very useful things with bash scripts. The real bash scripts i use for generating sites on my own, My demo sites. Wow, this is really small. Changed all of your resolutions. This is this. It's a laundry list of things i turn on and off, but when I create demo sites, bam, i run one script and it just Does it. All the terminal stuff i'll Get back to you later. But we can start using These things to do things creatively. Back to users. Users can do things like add roles. Do you know that a single user can have multiple roles within Wordpress? Absolutely. Did you know that you can modify The capabilities of all of those users? You can. Or all of those roles. You can. You don't have to have a plug-in or Nothing. Just do it. There's a wonderfully documented out on roles and Capabilities and you can start mixing and matching. So if you want a subscriber who for some reason has plug-in Edit rights, you can do it. If you want authors that can't Delete things, you can do it. Whatever you dream up. It's just part of core. User list, delete. You can delete any user. You can do it in batch. This is great if you're working with a lot of people And suddenly groups change. You need to revoke access Immediately. Cooking this up with a User-delete script. Let's kick them all out and We're done with it. I'm wrapping up. Database. How many people love looking at Database tables? it's good to know what those tables are. So db tables does that. You can do fun things like export. And then db cli. Yeah, my sql cli is there. Anything special to get to it. Wp cli will get you there. Wp db cli gets you to the my sql dbi. My sql cli. You can do fun interesting things Against your database if you so choose. And if you mess things up, there's this feature called db Reset. It will shake you back to nothing. And then you can import that back if you did earlier and You're right back to where you left off. First time i saw this blew my mind. Thanks for this awesome magic trick. This is useful in real life if you blow up a database. And then we get to the really awesome stuff. I've been saving the best for last. Everything else is grinding along. Skaffold. How many people use child themes every time? No exceptions. You're doing it right. Thank you very much. Parent themes are there to catch In case your child theme completely gets hosed and Something just goes horribly wrong. Child themes are a pain if you manually construct them. I will admit this.  Everything. You can even run activate the same line. And now i'm running a child theme of 2016 on this site. In this particular example. This works on almost anything. I started to do it with 2016 because i like 2016 a lot. And i think it deserves child themes. Plug-in scaffolding. We saw in the last talk he used this to make his plugin, But he also turned off the tests. WPCLi will build you test suites until you the scaffolding. If you dig into what it actually builds, Here i'm about to show it more. Here is the test framework built for me. I just got to fill in the dots. I got my unit test almost built from the time i started My plug build. Plug-in build. How many people make plugins at all? Any way shape or form. How many people is Gutenberg ready with your plug-in? Yeah. Really easy way to get there is here. It's not going to do the work for you. It's not going to put the actual things in place, but it's Going to give you the framework of what your plug-in is. If you look at zack gordon's information on it or Anywhere else, the codec or the github repositories, This is the framework of how to put these things in place. This is part of the core tool. Just a scaffold block, And you are on the path to making yourself Gutenberg ready. And we need to work on that. Language. Last one. One of my favorite things about WordPress is accessibility. I am very proud of 100% Accessibility score on my website. And i think that in general accessibility of making everyone In the world able to use a tool is a great thing. Part of that is language. Absolutely. I chose hong kong chinese or chinese hong kong at random Off the list because it started with a z. It was one of the last things i saw. But that's it. It's that simple to Translate to another language. You can develop in your own Language and have it translate over. And all the admin screens become whatever you say. It doesn't change your content. But the site itself now is in That other functional language. If you are working with an International developer, flipping back and forth between Languages is literally one line. It's activate. Bonus commands. Stuff i didn't know where else to put. But i love it. Wp shell. How many people love running an arbitrary php on a server? Yeah, it's scary. But you can do it. If sometimes it's really, really helpful. Like, where on earth is this doing? Let me get this info and just spit it out in terminal. Wp shell gets to that access. This is globally on all the CLIs that this works with in. Get back to that in a minute. Who loves cron? Yeah, you can run it from here. For those of you who don't love cron, it's actually pretty Good if you know what, if you spend the time to Actually investigate deeply. But you can do things like Run all or activate specific cron events. And it makes testing this so much easier. Because wp cron, through the gooey, you can. But this just makes it a lot faster and easier. There's so much more to it. This is meant as a precursor Of just to get your taste of what's going on. You can go back and look at all these slides to see Functional examples of everything that works. I'll fix those slides that were messed up earlier. But guess what? This is extensible. You don't have to take it off the shelf and say, oh, that's all It can do. No, it is very straightforward To extend this out. I have not had the person Who will need to. But one of my favorite talks In the history of the world is right here, wordpress tv. You look at ben burn, accelerating custom. And this is all in the slides you can have. Accelerating custom. He works for a company That uses the same theme everywhere. But it's a very minimal framework. They built their own scaffolding tools out of wpc li called Produce. And it puts it in this thing called Crate. Which is the name of their theme. Clever idea. But this in action is like, Well, that's just insert mustache code and just modify Those variables. And that's how we'll do all our Custom dev.  And all of their devs can communicate a lot faster. They can build faster. That talk was amazing. It blew my mind last year when i saw it. So go check that out. That was in seattle. Wordpress. Our word camp seattle. Wpc li also works in other clis. I work with pantheon and part Of the reason i love wpc li is we use it a lot. But we have our own command line called terminus. Command line tool called terminus. So for a lot of things i do, I'm going to jump back to my terminal. Sorry, this is really small out there. Let's do it clear. I can do things like, hey, Let's go look at the plugins that are actually live on my Active site because i wrapped terminus, which calls my Platform to do a wpc li call against a specific site and Then pass in that command. So here's what i'm actually Running. Turning Gutenberg off and on Depending on the day. I'm still testing it for a Bunch of stuff. But i use wp markdown Still for how i write everything. It's also desktop server. Dsi wraps it in. Flywheel has this pre-installed. Local by flywheel has this pre-installed. Just ssh into that Site and it will pop up command box and you have just type Wp and it's just there. This is true of some platforms. Your mileage may vary. Sometimes if you have a Vps you can just install it and run it. Anyway, i'll leave this up while i'm getting questions. I don't know. I'll be honest. I very rarely personally develop ooo commerce. But does anyone know? Can you wpc li export products? Yes, we believe so. That's right. Woo has their own set of wpc li commands. So absolutely. I wouldn't go investigate that. I personally don't have the experience on that. Yeah, to run it actually it's going to need a working Database, doesn't it? Yeah, you can install this to install Wordpress. Yeah, once the far files, as long As you run a php 5.3, whatever, honestly just run 7. That's what i'm running. Or later, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2. It'll just work. Far files, pretty lightweight and Should just run. It does expect a database to be there. It depends on how you're doing it. Yes, the short answer is yes. If you're using a tool like pantheon, You just point it at the individual sites for the command. You can also do remoting. Sean Hooper has a whole talk about that where he manages hundreds Of sites through wpc li. You're going to have to do a script To do that because you're going to have to hit multiple Remotes at that. But it's all, you can rate Your own bash anything. And it can do multiple commands. I think i'm right there and then over there in the interfere. Okay.  You're going to use get to do get. This is to manipulate the Install itself, not to manage code away from. Now you've said that. It'd probably be worth a go look And see in the command list, but if you're using github, I would say just use get. It's pretty efficient and fast. You can tie things together. Right here. You had a question? i thought you did. Can you create like an underscore and then i generate the site. One of the scaffold command is underscores. Then you can throw in a ton of stuff behind that, have it Curl in anything you need and yeah, build. And it's extendable so if it doesn't do it out of the box, Crack it open, make it do it. If you can do it with php, You can absolutely do it with command line. And then right there. No, it was back there and then you. If you run porcelain, it will show you the password. Porcelain is show me what i did and give me the valuable Information and you can make it be quiet so it wouldn't show Up at all. It would show you running the command. It wouldn't show you the export but if you're trying To avoid putting those data in the terminal itself, just Upload a separate config file from somewhere else and that's Your safest bet. Yeah, that was one of the Prompts. They weren't really, really fast but I could just run that again, actually, where is my other Terminal.  Hold on. I got to remember how to Quit bi. Okay. I don't know why it's cutting off the bottom here. So if i do wp core config dash dash prompt, We can just walk through the prompts here real quick. So, yeah, database password is right there. What was the question? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Prompt is an all or nothing as far as i know. However, it's just bash so if you wanted to pass that in From another data point, that's what i did in... Crap, trying to do that thing again. Kill that. Wow, that's annoying. No, no, no. Kill that. Just work. Can i just do this? I can just do that. It would be hilarious. I can just do that. That's not what i wanted to show at all. That was the opposite of what i wanted to show. Kill that so i don't actually... Yeah, here it is. Here's like how i pass it in. There's one thing. But no, you can't prompt This in all or nothing as far as i know. And then... oh, i was answering the other question. This one. Mass add, user add. Here, i'm just passing in a bash data field. It could be a csv, it could be anything. And all you're doing is changing the delimiter. Here's the old delimiter, or the new delimiter is comma. In this particular case, because it's csv, it could be Part of json, it could be anything. And then just pass those variables in at the time. How do you do it that way? Yeah. If you're already are super familiar With shell scripts, this is going to be an amazing weapon in your arsenal. If you're not familiar with shell scripts, it's fun. It is really fun to make computers do fun stuff. All right. How are we doing on... Whoa, we're about right at time. Another question? Yes. It was dsh, absolutely. It needs a unix-like environment. So i've run this on crash bang, free bsd. Puppy linux has issues, but puppy linux always has issues. Damn small. I've tested this on a lot of things. And it doesn't matter the terminal. If it's got php present, And it can actually communicate properly to a database, Not everything can, then yeah, we'll run. Yeah. So i'm going to kill the screen so We can walk out. So once a week, cron wakes up And pings circle ci to go see if any updates are needed on my Site, the site that i was showing earlier. If they do exist, let's go try to update them all in a separate Environment, then run backstop j s to see if that matches What's in production. If it matches, this will kick It all out to production. If not, send me a slack message. So you can do things like that based on the information You can feed off of bash scripts and wpcli. That's my favorite use for it. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you.


I would like to see January 6th has burned into the American mind as firmly as 9-11 because it was that scale of shock to the system. What would happen if after 9-11 we had done nothing? We had done nothing. Right. Think about that. If we had done nothing after 9-11. And to me, though there was less loss of life on January 6th, January 6th was worse than 9-11. We're going to start a new family tradition in my family on the 4th of July. And every 4th of July going forward, we're going to watch that video that the New York Times put together of January 6th. I mean, it's kind of a moment like when we started seeing coffins coming home from Iraq. But you started seeing real combat with each other. Which I will say every time I'm on your show is the number one national security threat we face right now. It's not al-Qaeda. It's not ISIS. It's not Iran. It's domestic extremism. So I've been lied and never took over the Capitol. These people did. And many of them are still out there. Just today, I was talking to someone who I'm not going to dime out on television, but a very prominent former U.S. commander who said there are elements of the GOP that are starting to look like the jihadists that he used to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, spreading lies and conspiracy theories to radicalize the populations of the Republican Party, now represent a bigger threat to our democracy than organizations like al-Qaeda or ISIS ever did. Part 11 was in the foreground of the midterm elections in O2 when Bush's party held Congress. And I wonder what your advice is. I think the security questions of the Republican Party as a domestic terror threat that were raised by the police officers whose political affiliation is unknown should be front and center for the Democrats in these midterm elections. So what hope do you have about a path forward? And we have not been able to unite around an attack on our Capitol, the worst in the first since the war of 1812. It's terrifying. This is one of the great crises along with the Civil War, the Depression and the Second World War.


There have also been protests in Brazil, but there the demonstration is against the government of President Jairu Bolsonaro. Scuffles broke out in Sao Paulo as the demonstrators demanded Bolsonaro's impeachment. His popularity has fallen in recent weeks and made corruption scandals against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic. The demonstrators and police faced off in the city after nights fell on Saturday with smoke rising from tear gas canisters and flashbang exploding.


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. It's time for another handgun showdown. This time it is Sig Sauer versus Smith & Wesson.  But before we do that, we have to revisit our last handgun showdown and it was Revolvers versus 1911s. And I thought it would actually be a little bit closer. But by and large, by a decent margin, more people chose Revolvers. They just love the Revolvers. They say, you know, I love the 1911, you know, I had one once or whatever the case. I love Revolvers. So Revolvers won that one. But we've got a good one today with Sig versus Smith. So let's get after that handgun showdown. Let's start with Sig Sauer and we'll begin right here with the Sig Sauer P226.  Now this is the Talo model. It carries 15 rounds that are aftermarket companies like Mechar that makes higher capacity magazines. But an amazing short reset trigger on this model. Check this out. Just an amazing handgun. It's got a 4.4 inch barrel, Sig light night sights, a great trigger, beautiful wood grips. And I think it looks and performs beautiful. And I love owning that gun. But over here, we've got the new Sig X Compact. A lot of people went nuts over this gun in the beginning of 2019. Sig made it optic ready. It's got a 3.6 inch barrel, a five pound flat trigger, 15 round mags, by the way, a five pound flat face trigger that breaks really softly. I mean, it's a sweet shooter with a rail. It's got X-ray 3 dot sights. You know, it's just an all around good carry gun and many people are enjoying that. Over here, we've got the Sig P220. I've owned this for quite a while. This one's in 45 ACP, carries eight rounds in the magazine, 3.9 inch barrel, Sig light night sights that have held up for many years, by the way. I purchased this in 2012 and still love it to this day. It does have a rail and once again, a phenomenal single action trigger. They don't make this model anymore, but they have other P220 models that are equally as nice. I really have enjoyed this or owning this gun for many years as well. Now let's see how these match up with Smith & Wesson. Here's Smith & Wesson and let's start with the very famous shield. Small, lightweight 9 millimeter also comes in 40. People love this gun, very famous CCW gun. It's often compared with other guns in the same class. Everybody wants to know how the new gun compares with the shield because they really enjoy it and they trust it. Now it's often considered a single stack, but it's actually a staggered stack. This is a seven round mag. It also comes with an eight round mag. It has a hinged trigger and it's a nice shooter. It's very accurate. It's reliable and has earned a very positive reputation over the years. And Smith has actually increased the line to the 2.0 models and actually with 4 inch barrels and so forth. It goes to show how popular it is. Now here we've got the M&P 2.0 Compact. They have many different sizes in this. This is the Compact with the 4 inch barrel has 15 rounds in the magazine and also a hinged trigger. This is a duty gun often compared to a Glock 19. It runs very reliable. It has heavier stippling, palm swells there, three dot sights. It's become ordinary and the reason I think is because it's ordinarily a fine gun that people love to shoot and it's dropped in price also throughout the years and many people they carry that one too. But I think this is where Smith is going to shine and that's with revolvers. This one that I'm featuring now is a big tank. It's a 610 which is in 10 millimeter and an end frame which is a big solid shooter. But Smith has so many revolvers. Everything from pocket carrying handguns to big things like this that people love and they do trust them over the years. Smith has gained an excellent reputation with the revolvers. This one here 10 millimeter with a 4 inch barrel completely quality made that shooters have come to love over the years. So there it is six hour handguns versus Smith & Wesson handguns. Let me know which company you feel makes the best handguns and then I will report the results back with the next handgun showdown. If you like videos like this please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe.


One of the things that I, like my goals as a filmmaker and as a producer is to make this industry in Mexico to come alive again as it was in the 50s and in the 40s and because we have a lot of talent because it's a beautiful art that it will show the culture and traditions and customs of Mexico, not the real Mexico. You have to remember that the art is the soul of the country, it's the soul of a civilization and that's the power of movie, of movie making and for almost all the art forms, that's how you can enrich the culture of a society through the art form and especially movie because movie is the art form that beholms in itself all the art forms that are known by men.


Well hello everybody and welcome back to a plan with me. Today we're going to be working on Monday December 5th through Sunday December 11th. As always, let's take a look back at last week. Dun-da-da-da. Um, I didn't really have a lot going on this week. I mean I had stuff going on but like nothing really noteworthy unfortunately. So I worked, went to see my financial advisor. We did some things. After work I went to the grocery store, started Vlogmas, which is exciting. If you guys want to see my vlogs I will put my Vlogmas playlist down below. There's only a few loaded since I just started on Thursday. Actually these are like my day 1, 2, 3, like like put these little flags up here to say when I'm loading it. So essentially I'm filming on December 1 and then that's my day 1 and it's going up on the 2nd and then like I'm always going to be a day behind. So yeah. And then I went to Dragon House with my friend Jodi and we talked to all things YouTube which was kind of fun. We did that on Saturday.  I don't know why I was just so tired. I stayed up pretty late last night reading um and then it snowed today to or actually like overnight so then I went out and shoveled a little bit. I don't know like maybe that just like totally pooped me out. I don't know but I was just super tired. So I napped for like an hour or two two and a half hours. I don't know I put in more time. But now it's dark outside hence the artificial lighting which is fantastic which is why I have a big shadow right now. So I'm planning on doing my film with me right now with you guys. So anyway so that is that. So here we go. Also Friday's video I should say was a holiday giveaway. It is still up and running. So if you guys are interested I will leave my Instagram down below. I have had several entries already. Actually let me pull it up and I'll show you what it is before we get started. Actually it's right here. This is this is the image on my Instagram that you want to make a comment on. I'll post the video as well because the video gives you instructions on what you need to post. You also need to be a part of Instagram. I know some of you are not a part of Instagram and that's okay because I am going to be doing another giveaway at some point but I'm going to be doing it on a different social media platform to kind of keep it even. Instagram to me is the easiest thing to do just because I feel like it's easy. But I understand some people don't have Instagram and I hear you guys. However there's so many spammers on YouTube and it's so incredibly difficult to kind of decipher who those people are. So I don't know. I'm sure at some point I will be doing a giveaway just strictly on YouTube but the logistics of it is a little bit more difficult but I think the next giveaway that I do will be on Facebook because I feel like a lot of people have Facebook and not everybody has Instagram. So look forward to that because that giveaway will probably be coming up really soon. All right so this is this week. This video that's already stuck in here is something that I did a long time ago like this summer. So what I have to do is I have to pull this little icon out of here and hopefully I can get this under here. This is undo. I know some of you guys have seen this before if you watch my videos. I actually got this on Amazon. The link is always below for you guys actually as well as like the markers and pens that I use. I put those down below as well in an Amazon link. Actually today I just updated my... Here we go. I just updated all of my information like down below with like my most current everything. And something that I included that I have never included before is the camera equipment that I use. So I included the camera that I use. There's been a couple of people that have like messaged me privately about like the equipment that I use. The lighting that I use. Also like I'm using a tripod. The tripod I use like everything like that because I feel like that's really interesting especially if that's something that you're wanting to maybe try to start doing. My stuff is pretty inexpensive. Maybe someday if you guys are actually interested. I mean let me know in the comments if you're interested in me doing an overview on all the things that I use and why. I don't know like tech stuff. I know some of you are had been asking questions kind of leading towards the fact of like I want to get started but I'm not sure how. Really my best advice is just start filming. I know it's weird to just sit here and talk to a black box because that's literally what I'm doing right now. But you know you get comfortable with it. Actually when I was at my lunch or not. Yeah it was my lunch with Jodi on Saturday. She's a YouTuber as well. I'll link her information below. But the cool thing about that was that we you know we talked about YouTube quite a bit and you know where she wants to take her channel and all of that and my biggest takeaway for really anybody trying to start YouTube and like kind of what I was telling Jodi is that like you just need to be authentic and like lean into yourself and be you. If anyone goes back and watches my old videos which now I know some of you will go back and watch my old videos. I was not comfortable for a very long time. It took me a while and I'm still working on it. I think we're all you know working on getting comfortable just within ourselves regardless if we're on camera or not.  You know just be you because everybody else is taken and I never want to become any of those channels that are very product pushy or anything like that. I genuinely use what I purchase and I love. Yes there are companies that send me things for review and things like that. But my test and I told Jodi this too my test if I have companies approaching me is would I buy this with my own money? And if the answer is yes then I will accept whatever they have. However if it's something that is not on-brand with me at all what's the point? My viewers are gonna know that that is not me first of all and then I'm just doing it for a paycheck and that is not that's not where I want to take this. You know what I mean? I know a lot of YouTubers don't really like talk about that because it's like oh you're good you know bashing ad videos. I'm totally not bashing ad videos I get it. But like if I were doing something that was off-brand and it was so obscure you guys would know about it you know. It just is weird but like if Ulta Beauty came to me and was like hey we really want to partner with you on a video we've seen that you've done videos you know on our on the things that we carry in the past you know would you be interested? I'd be like well heck yeah because I use their stuff and I genuinely love their brand but if some like fly fishing company came to me and said hey you want to partner with a video I'd be like are you on crack? Like seriously no no I don't because I actually don't enjoy fishing that's not my thing but you know everyone's different so I don't know it's just I don't even know where I'm going with this whole story oh and I just realized that I like majorly messed this up not this one but the ones previously well goodness all right we'll fix that I put it to like 330 I should I only work till three I only work till three Emily get it together oh my gosh my brain is like not fully functioning and it's the evening you guys like I don't know I woke up from my nap like a little kid so yeah and anyway if you guys are watching vlogmas let me know and let me know if you guys are enjoying it it's kind of weird but I hope you guys are enjoying it you seem to be the comments or comment section is kind of funny it's always a good time though oh I should say I'm using washi samples today so I won't know where this washi is from I'm just using some samples that I had laying around I've been trying to do that recently is kind of use up some of my washi samples that I have because I have a ton however at some point I'm sure I'll buy more washi but you know it's just one of those things where I have so much of things and I just want to try to go through them because obviously I got them for a reason you know like I purchased the samples for a reason I might as well use them so I'm just just trying to use things up trying to be budget conscious and such okay so that's that let's okay so Friday oh am I gonna have enough I'm like one tree off actually I think I have yep okay hold on a second here I bought another one because you know goals or whatever let's get my Friday going and I have got like a jam packed week you guys I normally don't have anything going on because you know as you've seen in my vlogs if you've watched them I'm freaking boring but I always tend to find something to chat about and if you guys have any good vlog ideas let me know in the comments because I'm totally down for suggestions I like suggestions suggestions are good so there's some things that are happening down here but I want to put some washi on the bottom I feel like this is going to be a really long video because I'm already like what 12 minutes in yikes all right I all right I need garbage garbage all right this is just a garbage week so I will put this up here because I need to make a thing up there okay actually my brain is not functioning I mean if you guys watch my vlogs you will understand Monday's vlog was called my brain is like spaghetti because it was like spaghetti that day oh my gosh this is like not gonna lift up for me come on come on come on I'm having like all the troubles no washi don't be like that okay I have like wedded this is that a word wedded here we go come on little pig here we go and then I need this like payday removed still payday I just need to put something up at the top come on come on oh my gosh normally this works really really well the only reason I know this isn't working like super well is because I put these down like as soon as I got this planner like a year ago um so yeah that's why I'm having a little bit of issue but hey it popped up just fine it's just you know takes a little bit more bonus so let's do this I put a little like blank sticker sheet behind it too just so I don't get this page all wet as well even though it dries like it totally dries hum needum needum okay it's pretty much dry now okay cool all right so stick this washi back down push this back down we're good to go on that all right so down at the bottom what am I gonna do here's this um I think this is what I want to do all right so up at the top I'm just gonna put this little cute kind of peppermint washi which is fun and this will be to just indicate um doing the vlog because I mean I know I'm doing vlogmas which is great but sometimes it's just nice to like see my visual day which is really why I plan I feel like because if I can visually see it I will do it if I don't visually see it it's like wait what was that day I wanted to do that thing all right I'm back I had to turn the furnace off it's so loud the furnace in AC here is so incredibly loud so when I do like the editing it drives me crazy to hear the like dinging on and off and it's just it's like this weird thing that bothers me so incredibly much like it shouldn't bother me as much as it does but it really bothers me so anyway I just turn it off because it's still warm like it's still warm in here because it's just like on that auto thing so when it gets cooler then you know it just turns back on you know all right let's see yeah I need to find some things all right I think I'm just gonna use this because it's out vlog put a little camera on there because you know you gotta have a camera on there oh could you guys yeah you could see that wow sometimes I'm not in frame so up here we can put back payday and the little piggy all right and then down here I think I'm just gonna do this little like happy holidays happy holidays and then I don't know what it is about like ones that it washes that have actual sayings on them like even with these I get a little anal where I want it to be like I don't want like a tree to be cut off and stuff so I'll just trim it this was the little tail that was left that had the saying but I'm gonna start it at the happy holidays again I know that's kind of weird and maybe that's a little wasteful but I don't know I just like the way it looks better I don't know come on come on here we go I don't think I've ever used a skinny washi down at the bottom actually I guess I'm branching out you guys I guess I'm branching out so those are done now let me write in work and then we'll do some things from there this thing is so freaking sticky over here I'm just gonna put work on one of these labels because every time I close this it's going to stick like the pages are going to stick oh it's still sticky down how is it sticky down there oh my goodness like the stickiness like seeped down or something oh my goodness gracious you guys all right this is gonna look totally janky but I don't really care because I every time I close this I don't want it to be a problem all right so there's that okay no stickiness I'll end up writing something there at some point I don't know oh my gosh my brain all right so like every time I try to film one of these I'm like yeah I'm gonna be like this is gonna be really really fast nice plan with me nope it's not it's not it's just a really long drawn out situation so anyway okay so let's put in my videos for the week I've got an Erin Condor haul going up on Wednesday I think I talked about that video last week and I didn't know when it was gonna be up and it's you know because I like pre-film stuff but you guys know that because you know me I pre-film pretty much everything and then Friday's video is my December layout and just a reminder December's layout I filmed that back when I was still in Fargo so I might be talking about things that don't really pertain to anything anymore so I'm just letting you know in advance okay guys okay so there's the December layout Erin Condren haul which by the way I've placed like so many Erin Condren orders since Black Friday Cyberbunday I'm kind of ashamed um I don't know anybody I'm sure a few of you guys feel the same way yeah when they did Cyber Monday slash Black Friday with 30% off I was like um yes please I had been putting off actually ordering a couple of things and some of them are for you guys so hint hint nudge nudge um but I haven't received them yet but I'm going to receive them very very soon but I'm like oh my gosh and they keep emailing me with like better and better deals I'm like oh my gosh and I think right now there's like that 12 days of Christmas or something and so every day I go to the website and I haven't actually purchased anything on the 12 days yet I mean I purchased something on the 12 days but I didn't actually take advantage of whatever the sale was on the specific item because I was just not into it but um like the day I ordered but yeah because they came up with a new item that I really wanted they brought out new um sticker okay so I don't know where it stopped filming at but I'm sorry oh goodness I don't know where it stopped usually I hear the little thing beep uh well I'm just gonna keep going I'm sorry you guys if things seem weird now that I've put more things down I don't know I was just talking with my friend Megan because it's her birthday on Wednesday um she actually doesn't even have any like social media which I said I very much commend so she doesn't watch these videos um but what I was saying is she was actually my first friend that I ever made in school it was the first day of kindergarten and we met each other and we became friends ever since and I was actually the maid of honor in her wedding um maybe what like a decade ago because how old am I yeah more than a decade ago wow I feel old all right so let's get this other party started so Wednesday is actually a really fun day for you guys I know I already talked about this but my holiday giveaway is ending on not Tuesday what do I talk do I say Wednesday seriously Tuesday December 6th at 6 p.m central standard time my holiday giveaway is closing and I will be announcing the winners there's going to be two winners I will post the YouTube video down below with the instructions but you have to enter on Instagram I know it's kind of weird but the reason I do

that little like red image I showed you guys on my phone earlier but that is happening on Tuesday and I'm really hoping that the two winners get back to me like ASAP so on Wednesday I can just go to the post office and get those prizes sent to you the whole idea behind that is I wanted to make sure that I did my holiday giveaway right away because I wanted to make sure that you guys had the prizes because a lot of them are more holiday themed by Christmas time um I know not everybody celebrates Christmas but I know a lot of people in the planner community regardless of like religious denomination actually do a lot of red and green in their planners so I wanted to get this already like sent to you like the first full week in December you know so that's just a note to me to pick my

The USA's covert empire, notes from the edge of the narrative matrix. In an interview shortly before his death, Daniel Ellsberg said the US runs a covert empire, which is a really good way of putting it. A giant globe-spanning cluster of nations consistently moves in alignment with the dictates of Washington, but they all keep their official flags and their official governments, so it doesn't look like an empire despite functioning as one in every meaningful way. We really don't pay enough attention to the fact that all of the most influential media platforms are owned and operated by extremely wealthy people who have every motive to keep us all focused on culture wars and electoral politics so we don't focus on class war and direct action. It's surreal how saying the FBI constantly grooms mentally ill people to get involved in terrorist plots makes you sound like a kooky crackpot, but it's actually a well-documented fact that we just don't talk about much for some reason. The only time Trump was praised by the mass media was when he bombed Syria. The only time Biden was condemned by the mass media was when he withdrew from Afghanistan. There's probably a lesson in there somewhere. The New York Times publishing an article which criticizes Ukrainian Nazis for wearing Nazi insignia, not because Nazism is wrong, but because it's bad war propaganda, was one of the most New York Times things that has ever happened. There's a tweet by the New York Times. The decision by some Ukrainian soldiers to wear patches with Nazi icons threatens to reinforce Russian propaganda used to justify the invasion. It also could give the symbols mainstream life after the West's decades-long efforts to eliminate them. The article even admitted that Western reporters have been avoiding acknowledging the problem because they don't want to play into Russian propaganda and have actually asked Ukrainian soldiers to remove Nazi patches before taking photos. If you choose not to report something because it would hurt your side's propaganda efforts, then you're not a journalist.  What's funny about the Nazis and Ukraine controversy is that Nazis and Ukraine is not even the strongest argument against Western proxy warfare in that nation. Western propagandists could just say, yes, Ukraine has a Nazi problem, but we believe the benefits of protecting Ukrainian democracy outweigh the negatives of some skinheads getting rocket launchers here and there or whatever, and most Westerners would swallow it. The only reason propaganda outlets like the New York Times feel the need to keep diddling this issue and manipulating people's minds and gaslighting everyone about it is because they're so habituated to pushing for complete and total narrative control on U.S. foreign policy. So it never occurs to them to cede even the slightest amount of ground or yield even the most obvious admissions to avoid looking ridiculous. The world is ruled by thugs and tyrants, the most thuggish and tyrannical of whom pour a tremendous amount of energy into convincing their populations that only other countries are ruled by thugs and tyrants. If people and digital records survive the Earth's next act of nuclear warfare, let the records show that we were seeing clear warning signs every day and overwhelmingly ignored them. It's another New York Times tweet. President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus said that the country has started to receive nuclear weapons from Russia, a long-threatened provocation and the latest sign of the worsening relationship between Russia and the U.S. Saying America didn't bomb Nord Stream, Ukraine did, is like saying, Will Smith didn't slap Chris Rock, his hand did. It's a distinction without any meaningful difference, no matter how hard they try to spin it as an independent act the U.S. would have had no control over. There's no basis for the belief that today's CIA and FBI are any less depraved than they were in the days of Dulles and J. Edgar Hoover. Seriously, what has changed since that time? There was a Cold War back then? There's a Cold War now? The laws, rules, and policies were drastically changed and the people who did those bad things were punished? They were not. There's no basis whatsoever for the belief that the CIA and FBI did bad things in the past but don't do bad things currently. It's believed because it is comfortable and for no other reason. We learn about bad things the CIA and FBI did in the past because they stand nothing to lose by us learning about bad things they wanted to do and already did. Later on, what's happening today will be in the past and we'll learn what they were up to in this slice of space-time. All the conditions which existed during the most notorious acts of depravity by those agencies are also the case today. Cold war, hot war, dissident groups, the fight for U.S. hegemony, that's all happening currently and there's no reason to believe there are any nicer or cuddlier about it today. If Western governments need to keep ramping up censorship, propaganda, and the persecution of journalists in order to defend Western freedom and democracy, is it really freedom and democracy? And is it worth defending? The only way to get a good read on what manipulators are really about is to ignore their words and watch their actions because they only use language to manipulate and extract what they want from people.  Example, if you ignore the U.S. government's stories about its love of freedom and democracy in rules-based order and just look at its actions, what you see is a violent and tyrannical regime which works continually to destroy and subvert nations around the world which disobey it. One of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn in life is that projection cuts both directions. We project our bad qualities and motives onto others, wrongly assuming that they have the same character flaws as us, but we also project our positive traits onto others who might not have them. In a world full of narcissists, sociopaths, and manipulators, it is important to be aware of this, whether you're looking at politicians, governments, or your own interpersonal relations. In the past, I've suffered serious consequences for assuming that someone must have healthy and relatable reasons for their harmful actions toward me and projecting my own good motives onto them when really all they wanted was to use and subjugate me. You can't assume that someone is operating from the same inner motivations as you, whether those imagined motivations are negative or positive.


Item number SCP-151 Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-151 should be kept in a locked storage compartment, covered by an opaque cloth. The keys to the compartment should be kept in the custody of the Site Commander when SCP-151 is not being researched. When research is being conducted, SCP-151 may be kept in a locked laboratory, provided it is always covered when not being used. Description SCP-151 is a 1 meter by 1.3 meter, 3 foot by 4 foot oil painting, apparently from the perspective of someone underwater. A subject who views the painting exhibits no initial effects, however over a period of 24 hours, the subject's breathing becomes increasingly labored, culminating in the death of the subject. Autopsies reveal that subject's lungs have filled with seawater. Attempts to halt the drowning process by medical intervention have proven successful in prolonging the life of the subject, but have not stopped nor reversed the condition. The painting is not signed, but several names are written on the back. Addendum SCP-151 was found in an antique shop in ██████, after the Foundation began investigating a series of unexplained drowning deaths. As ██████ is landlocked, the Foundation dispatched a team of plainclothes agents after being informed of the nature of the water in the victim's lungs, and that the victims had all been discovered on dry land. The agents discovered that the names written on the back belong to a group of artistically inclined students, all of whom disappeared during a study abroad program in ██████.


Andre Rublev vs. Hubek Herkac is the second semifinal at the Miami Open for 2021, and both players have had a different road to make it to the semifinals. The number four seed Rublev started his week off with a buy in the first round. In his second round match, he took on Tennis Sangren, destroying him in straight sets 6-1, 6-2. His third round match was against Martin Fucovich, a man that he played many times in the previous month. Again, it was a demolition job, winning in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. In the fourth round, he took on former U.S. Open champion Marin Chilich, and again an impressive display, winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. In his quarter final, he took on Young Gun Sebastian Korda, and after a tight first set, he had to fight to get through the second, to eventually win in straight sets 7-5, 7-6. Herkac arrived to the Miami Open as the 26 seed and had a buy in the first round. His second round match was against Kudla, the American, getting through in straight sets 7-6, 6-4. In his third round match, he took on the number six seed, Denyshapov Arlov, but he flipped the script this week, winning in straight sets 6-3, 7-6. In his fourth round, he took on another Canadian, the 12th seed, Milosh Rayonich, and after losing the first set, had to fight to win in tight three setter 4-6, 6-3, 7-6. His quarter final match was his best comeback to date, against the number two seeds to find on City Pass. After going down badly in the first set and a break in the second, Herkac came back to prevail in 3-2, 6-6, 6-4. In Rublev's quarter final against Korda, he hit 15 winners and 13 unforced errors, including five aces, but only converted three out of seven break points. We'll need to improve on that against Herkac. Herkac in his quarter final against City Pass hit 41 winners, and only 35 errors, with 15 of those winners being aces. And he converted three out of eight break points, and he will have to also convert better against Rublev. These two have only played the one time previous back in Rome in 2020, Herkac getting the win, so Herkac has the confidence against Rublev.  This is a tough semi-final to pick, because Herkac has showed some great form this week, but I'm going to go with Rublev in this one, just based on his consistency over the last 12 months, and especially at this tournament, yet to drop a set, and he seems to like playing against big servers. So I'm going to go with Rublev in this one, let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this semi-final?
