That’s when I just close the browser tab and go elsewhere.

I used to type in blow-us@fuck-you.com but any more I just close the tab.
It’s an enigma to me why businesses are chasing customers away.
At least 60% of the internet is now worthless and half the remainder is a repeat of the rest.
Try to do any serious research, unless you have a lightspeed connection you will waste a lot of time because of all the bullshit you have to wade through.

It’s a me, Me, ME! world now.

Same with emails, phonecalls, texts, streaming, satellites, and OTA TV, etc.
Tech everything now is mostly bullshit.
Been going downhill since around 2008.
I saw it when it began but I probably won’t see it end, for the end for me could be any day now, depending on my mood. One of these days I’ll just unplug and step off.

I miss the 2003 era internet when 1) most sites were mostly static html with very little active content to slow it down and 2) only motivated creative people dared to self publish content, as opposed to now when every yahoo under the sun has a Facebook or Twitter account – turns out, barriers to entry can be a good thing sometimes.

Websites for mainstream news (newspapers, network TV affiliates, etc.) are impossible to navigate nowadays.
I still stick to blogs.

Hope you’re well, and life is good for you, Joan. Seeing your nic is kind of a blast from the past.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
