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?

Happy June! Aren't you glad that school is almost over? (or already is if you are in college) My last day of school is June 24th! Summer is just around the corner! I'm very sorry I haven't posted lately, and that's just because it takes a lot of time to do a blog post, and I haven't had much time lately. But I want to start June on a nice note and start blog posting again! So, here's what I did yesterday, May 31 2019: I went to Chuck E Cheese! I have not been there since Dec 12 2015! (my 12th birthday) We went to support Mom's school that she works at, and I had a semi-good time. Unfortunately, the arcade was not the best time, but also not the worst. It's just because the jackpots were very low, and the arcade only had like 20 games, and the fact that most were kid-themed games. (like Paw Patrol) I had a good time on some of the games, but like I said, the jackpots were very low (but that's only because little kids can't comprehend big jackpo...

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.

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, ...

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 2. Summary: I went to a tag sale and found a 2000s relic: A 1GB MEMORY CARD! I also went with Dad to Holyoke Mall to eat, and I also went to Holyoke Mall to get Melanie's new phone! Believe it or not, this was the last week that they sold the iPhone X; see my post about that  here . I also went to River Valley Market, and that was fun. I went to the YMCA to pick up Melanie. I went to the dentist, which was a quick 10 minutes and EASY. I also went to Kisara. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E3 ! Updated 2/18/19.
