An important reminder

For some reason, WordPress is not sending emails to notify readers of any of the blog reprints.  There is some awfully good stuff there, and I’m concerned it is getting missed.  All the regular repeat items that many readers enjoyed are sometimes getting zero views.  So I am letting you know to check the actual blog, rather than relying only on the email notices.

Going to the blog, you will see everything.

All of Lee’s articles, Joe College, Byron the quokka, and Oy Rodney are reprints, as are reprints of Chalcedon articles, so you won’t get emails about them.

Just to let you know.

I am going to contact Jill at Chalcedon to see if there is any workaround for this problem.

I’ll keep you posted.

Climbit Change Causes Monsters! REPRINT

From February 23, 2020

This was going to be an emergency bulletin from Joe Collidge, but he is currently prostrated with fear and unable to write coherently. Also some gym socks he ate for breakfast have disagreed with him.

It seems there’s a growing rumor of giant crabs depopulating islands and dragging whole coastal villages into the deep, all because of Climate Change and Greta Thunberg. Back in 1957, this was cleverly disguised as a science fiction movie. But in 2020, it’s a grim reality.

Or so we’re told. By college professors. So you know it’s got to be true.

Only world government, open borders, and real high taxes can stop the giant crabs.

Honest!
