I guess this is Peter Grant’s blog now

He’s not writing anything on it; in fact, he doesn’t seem to be contributing anything at all. But he has created a blog that siphons off every single thing posted on Freethoughtblogs and reposts it on his personal site.

I’m generous with the content here — lots of people have asked to repost individual entries, and as long as they give full attribution, I’m fine with that. But sucking up all the content of a whole bunch of sites and dumping it to your own? Not cool. Not cool at all.

We also make this easy for people to do, because we allow full content in our RSS feed. You like that? Well, we could change it if it continues to provide an easy entry for parasites. You might want to let Peter Grant know that his efforts could induce us to tighten up what we publish on our feed. Maybe you’re one of those people who just love abbreviated RSS feeds — be sure and thank him if that’s the case!

Episode CCXCIII: A belated happy birthday to Janis

Her birthday was yesterday, and I would have posted this here earlier, but you all were dragging your heels about filling up the eternal thread.

I first discovered Janis when I was 12, and I was afraid there might be something sinful about her, because every time I listened, I felt funny. Good funny, but kind of dangerous funny, too. But now that I’m a little bit older, I know that she was wicked, the best kind of wicked there is.

Even now when I listen to Janis I feel that same deep-down funny.
