Not so random, obviously, but it offers a concise title. Herewith pith: “The giveaway of ideology is emotional hostility to skeptics.”
For fans of bulletin board systems, I’m enclosing this appeal from Stephen Jones of SDF:
So .. What can you do to help? We need largish SATA drives. If you have
spares, email me and let me know what you have. If you make a donation
please be sure to include ‘for the move’ in the notes. Likewise, you can
show your support by upgrading to ARPA ($36 one time), MetaARPA ($36/year)
or going with the new VHOST ($60/year) membership which includes domain
registration.On a personal note, I just wanted to say I’m very sorry to those of you
who have lost your jobs or even worse have been forced into a career
change due to outsourcing. The past 15 months I’ve received countless
emails from those of you who have been out of work and had to drop off
your support of SDF and revert to basic levels. I hope that when your
luck turns you can rejoin those sustaining memberships. I personally
will continue to support and build SDF when the times get tough. And it
doesn’t matter how small the donation is. If you can make one, it will
ultimately make a difference.
I’m now offering “stories, texts, lemmas” at, naturally, Stories, a new section of this site. Lemmas here are more of a punning nod to Lem than strictly defined. Perhaps pseudo-lemmas? Para-lemmas? Oy. “Even more important than lemmas are observations, but that is another story.”
Soccer remains the best sport ever devised. Just to say, with all the Olympic brouhaha of late. Just sayin’.
