Ya think it's easy?

“Why do dogs stretch and shake themselves out after a nap? To figure out if it’s time for another nap.”

I link from here every day, and this blog has always been about linking out – not as link love or click bait but as further proof: For anyone telling controversial truths, a link is a footnote.

Even so, I never link to paywalled sites: That would be pointless. My first post at BHB was about the futility of holding ordinary information hostage, and, in a world where being-linked equals being-visible, making the links to your information non-functional is worse than pointless.

Ad-block-block, if you must, but now you must surmount my aversion to unblocking you – just this once – before I can even decide if I might want to link to you.

Wanna be unblocked forever? Just tell the truth, like the epilepsy-inducing circus poster that is The Daily Mail. Charging me money to tell me lies I can’t share is beyond stupid.
