What’s going on here?

January 22, 2017 by Michael Boyle

What’s going on is that I have decided to revive this blog. I can’t guarantee how long this will continue, but the inauguration of Donald Trump and the massive Women’s marches on Washington today have moved me to try and memorialize the Trump presidency through links to relevant articles.

The times we’re living through at the moment are not normal. Donald J Trump is no normal President. The election he won was no normal political contest, and his Presidency has already gotten off to a rocky start.

I could – and probably will – write a long essay on the matter – but for the moment I prefer to let the articles and photos I choose to speak for themselves.

: Kuro5hin is merging with MetaFilter to produce Met4filter. Of course this is a Poisson d’Avril.

: 09.11.01: first thoughts. Rebecca is an uncommonly clear and reasonable thinker. Her posts at MetaFilter have been excellent as well.

Just notes

September 11, 2001 by Michael Boyle

:

  • Some readers will know that my brother works downtown in Manhattan near the World Trade Center. I’ve heard from him, he’s OK. My sister-in-law is a flight attendant, and she’s OK too.
  • CNN.com has put up an extremely simple site, presumably to host a higher load of traffic. The CBC has done the same.
  • I’ve been getting my best breaking news from the virtual community at Cafe Utne. Lots of first hand accounts, and luckily just about everyone I know from the Cafe is OK. Haven’t heard from everyone yet.
  • MetaFilter has also been a good source of info.
  • Canadians with friends or family in New York can call 800-387-3124 for information.
