Special Order Speeches essays from prior incarnations of Not News are now available from the SOS link on the sidebar. This category includes essays that were written for the Humor section of the site when that was its own entity. Transferring them into blog posts reminded me that I enjoy that kind of long-form not-quite-serious writing. I oughta do more of it, although now I probably will have to label those entries so that they don’t get taken too seriously.
(Oh, for what it’s worth, I did notice that one entry got reposted twice. I’ll fix that soon while I’m transferring the Culture & Media section.)
I’m thinking of reposting some discussion threads as blog posts, and leaning toward doing them as single posts with a sequence of block quotes. Probably not the most aesthetically pleasing option, but not every old poster is set up as a commenter here and I’d like to keep ghost accounts to a minimum.
