With a week off there are some newsworthy items and before getting back into a normal groove I’ll go over some of my top choices, not worthy of individual posts. In no particular order.
It’s been ages since the Gematrinator has put out a good eclipse story. Probably a good idea as that although the numbers are there for every story, the numbers are there for every story. Since it would be easy to shoehorn something more “normal” and the idea didn’t get a lot of traction with the gematria community at large, they seemed to ignore it and just keep plugging away at sports, there hasn’t been a lot of support. You have to go back to June 8th for a blog post title that makes it obvious that it’s eclipse related. Now, it could be temporary or maybe it’s the new “thing”. There’s been a lot of music content. This hasn’t added new terminology, yet, like the way that we learned about Metonic cycles and such. Maybe it will expand to note scales, percussion and other words as yet unused. In the meantime there are about 56,921,716,033 different other dates, names and “reminds me” ofs to play with.
Speaking of sports. A lot of predictions were made for England to be the World Cup winner. And up until Croatia made it to the final four nobody was giving them a chance. This has really been a hugely bad year for predicting champions with lots of upsets. We also had some talk about Serena Williams being destined to win Wimbledon. The sports media helped as it was a nice story with aging star coming off bearing a young ‘un and getting into playing shape enough to make a run. After making it to the final game she got beaten (badly) by the younger, higher seeded player. Because if you added their rankings together it equaled Serena's age of 36, among other nonsense.
Denim Davis started picking baseball games daily. After two days of picking maybe something like 7 of 16 games correctly he first went on a “I’m trying to figure this out” dialogue, then opted for deleting a post or two in their entirety to avoid the embarrassment. Jedd Kasem, a Denim commenter, started a blog around this time. With just picks and absolutely no numbers. Weird idea.
Hubbard is back to making videos. There are two channels, one for sports and one for news. One would think that the hungry masses would flock to subscribe, but it’s taking a long time. He hasn’t even figured out that he could do things like link each channel to the other in the video descriptions, use his Mom’s Twitter account or have some blog readers post on Facebook that he’s back. Maybe he can buy some subscriptions to fill the gap. I haven’t checked lately, but that was a bit pricey but an option available. The whole number of subs vs. views doesn’t make sense across the board. People must be saving up videos to watch later instead of diving in right away. The Hubbard Patreon subscribers has been at about 115 for forever.
If you want to do some advanced scouting for an upcoming post, look up #Elsagate. Or don’t because it is really sick, twisted, vile shit. It ties in with what I’ve bern saying about the ridiculous YouTube recommended videos algorithm.
Yesterday somebody posted some shots at both the Germinator and Hubbard on the FTFM blog. I’ll check today to see if he’s been declared a troll or ignored.
I can’t think of anybody else important to talk about now. I may edit this later today if something comes to mind.
