UPDATE 1/18/21: BACK ONLINE (Parler SHUT DOWN!)

By

After the January 6 US Capitol attacks, the Parler app, known for promoting free speech, and now, for planning the Capitol attacks, has been taken offline after Google and Apple removed the app from their app stores and Amazon took the site offline as the site used AWS, which Amazon removed AWS from Parler as it violated AWS TOS, which means that parler.com is now offline until it finds a new web host, which will likely take at least a week, or that Parler could possibly be gone for good after what happened.

Over 90 POSTS were found on Parler to be in violation of Amazon AWS TOS...

Wow.

What is Parler?

Parler is an app that is like Twitter, except you're able to post whatever you want promoting free speech, basically what happened to 8Chan in August 2019, is now happening to Parler in January 2021. The app/website gained popularity in November 2020 during the elections, promoting pro-Trump material for the elections, and, in January 2021, for being one of many social medias that was used to plan the Capitol attacks/riots.

Update 1/18/21: The website is back online with a message about what happened with the caption "Technical Difficulties" in it; here's a screenshot:

Now that Parler is back from the dead, let's see what happens in the coming days...

      Too bad... but they are trying to bring it back online with a domain hosted called Epik, which services Parler-like websites. It isn't live as of 1/13/21, but maybe in the coming days, it will be back?

Personal note: Blogging is SO (before) 2022. Stay up to date with my content in 2023 onwards on my Instagram @tr27.official  (follow if you want to, it's up to you.) 325 followers as of 3:08PM EST, 12/31/2022. Eras aren't forever, and everything and every era must eventually come to an end, and that likely includes my time here on this site as my blogging era has come to a quiet end. However, NOTHING WILL BE DELETED. EVER. All content made on this site will remain from the past 4 years, and will remain as long as Blogger's servers remain online. If Blogger does ever shut down, ALL CONTENT HERE WILL BE ARCHIVED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY LINK. EVERY POST. EVERYTHING. I am strongly anti-deletion, and I shall stay that way, 2022 or 2023 or whatever year it is that you are reading this. Once posted on the internet, EVERYTHING LASTS FOREVER. AND I SUPPORT THAT. Anyways, here's my post: It's been a while since I last posted. As you can probably tell, I last posted on April 8,

IT'S DAY 3 OF MY 2019 FEBRUARY VACATION!

You're probably wondering, where's DAY 2? Well, let's just say that Day 2, was a snow day! We went nowhere! And so, Day 2 was not noteworthy for a blog post. So we're skipping Day 2 and going straight to Day 3. What happened today: (2/19/19) We had plans to go to Berkshire East. That would've been a lot of fun. However, by the time we even got to the exit for Berkshire East, it was like an hour before they closed. So we decided to do that tomorrow (2/20/19) and went to Yankee Candle instead. That was good, but it could've been better due to me almost losing my diabetes kit. (Luckily, it was in the car!) Now, I've had some good experiences with Yankee Candle in the past, especially in 2013. Now, a little flashback to Nov 30, 2013: Mom and I visited Yankee Candle on Nov 30, 2013. When we got there, it was a cold morning and we watched Santa come down from the sky. That was fun! And then, we had some good food and sweets, lots of fun, and a little Candy Crush
