It’s What Keeps This Place Here
As today is this blog’s ninth birthday, it seems as good a time as any to have one of the quarterly fundraisers that keep this rickety barge afloat. If you’d like to help it remain buoyant for a while longer, there’s an orange button below with which to monetise any love for this low establishment. Debit and credit cards are accepted. For those wishing to express their love regularly, there’s a monthly subscription option top left. Additionally, any Amazon shopping done via this link or the search widget top right, or for Amazon US via this link, results in a small fee for your host at no extra cost to you. Now you can indulge your consumerist lust and feel saintly while doing it.
For newcomers wishing to know more about what’s been going on here for the last nine years, and in over 2,000 posts, the reheated series is a pretty good place to start. If you can, do take a moment to poke through the discussion threads too. The posts are intended as starting points, not full stops, and the comments are where much of the good stuff is waiting to be found. And do please join in.
Again, thanks for the support, the comments, and the company.
Ho ho ho. My mistake.
The Long March in action. And look upon its glory.
And this just in. A Canberra university professor tells us that we are all hapless drones, too unsophisticated to withstand the heavy-handed persuasion of all those corporations that force us against our will to buy things that we don’t need. The horror! Well, I suppose it keeps him in a nice job.

““[Rutgers groups] should not be inviting anyone like Yiannopoulos because what we stand for is inclusion and diversity,” student activist Nyuma Waggeh told The Daily Targum.”
But surely Mr Yiannopoulos is the very essence of what Rutgers’ students love: he is diverse from the perceived ‘wisdom’ of a small minded small sect and has views that include others.
The Yiannopoulos protest drama now has its own thread.

The soft drink can be perfectly fine, but might there be a ginger beer in some fridge corner or ‘nother?
Just before Christmas my dad saw me reading this blog and now he reads it every week.
I’m confused. Is reading it still cool?

Um, yes.
But your dad is now cooler than you.
And thanks again to all who’ve chipped in, or subscribed, or shopped righteously via the Amazon links. I now feel all uplifted and beloved.
Sorry to be late.
