This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

You know how you can tell the editors and reporters are amateurs? They use the word “stochastic” and put it in bold like it means something, like they’re trying hard to score points.
You’re just going to have to believe me that after fifteen years I know lots more about than they do. And, believe me, where the rubber meets the road and you want people to understand, such words don’t come up.
Anyway, the NYT did an in depth profile on the man tonight and there’s no whitewashng the background, one that predisposed the man to violence, inspired in the belief that his ideas were shared by people on tv every day.

Pretentious vocabulary aside, I do think that the larger point holds. We have persons in our polity who are suborning terrorism while keeping themselves distanced from the results of said subornation.
I wonder whether the lunacy had reached the point that big media might have the courage to confront the contemporary Republican Par–oh, never mind.
