Postworthy News

UPDATE! I was very politely asked by someone I'm almost certain didn't bother to send me a crank email to please take down the New GbV! and I said OK.


Also, I've been and am being unusually botted since Friday. Googlebots as always, but new, never seen before bots. A friend tells me it's probably good with a small but decent chance it's bad. Bad as in some asshole's trying to spam the site down? I asked. Well, yes, I suppose that too, she said. In any case, one of the not-googlebots is scrolling all your comments the past year! Yay you!

  2. As in, it's good if the bots are distributing material to different aggregators, it's bad if the bots are collecting evidence for the state panopticon.
