Housekeeping: If You See Ads You’d Not Expect on The ‘Grok …

November 22, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Ads are a pain, and I get that sometimes they interfere with the site experience. I’m not a fan of that, so we are always looking for ways to keep the ad revenue and improve the experience.

Bill Mahr Is Raising Awareness “About the Serious Problem of Raising of Awareness”

March 9, 2021March 9, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Bill Mahr is a liberal tool, but he’s good on free speech (mostly), and he rejects some of that political correctness BS. Plumbing that vein gives the left a tiny window into the threat their #wokeness presents. A tendency that manifests in other acts ripe for the picking, the obsessive cultural need to “raise awareness.”

August 8, 2019 Steve MacDonald
