Adaptive Curmudgeon

Blog Housekeeping

I’m pretty lazy about blog maintenance. I update my blogroll infrequently and haphazardly; I usually forget to mention it when I make a change too. It’s a new year so I’ll start out on a better footing.


In no particular order, here a few new links I’ve added:

Rotten Chestnuts

Raconteur Report


I’ve also pulled some Amazon links. I’ve no beef with Amazon. Despite being somewhat evil in a general way, they’ve always treated me OK. I just decided to unclutter things. Also, it’s wise to keep my distance from an entity that can and does deplatform / demonetize without pause. (Note: they’ve been good to me… not complaining. Just staying safe y’all.)

In case you’re wondering: this “pull your nuts out of the vice before it matters” logic is why I migrated from WordPress.org a few years ago. WordPress actually treated me well, but I didn’t hang around to find out if they’d keep it up forever.


I also moved a few of my favorite quotes to my “Quotes and Poems” page.

Czeslaw Milosz: 1911-2004

In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.

John Dryden: 1631-1700

“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.

D. H. Lawrence: 1885-1930

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
