This is more of a plan for he rest of the year, roughly. I have a bunch of past stories that need to be finished somehow, things that were posted and not finished years ago; I did a halfassed job on CEDU, a story I would love to go back to, because for all intents and purposes CEDU was a cult for both the teens in it and the parents paying for it. There is also that review of the Reddit book that I need to finish, and the James Randi article that has been hanging like a sword of Damocles for three years. Randi is dead and his star is fading by the half-year. There is a lot of interesting stuff to talk about because of the Uri Geller-James Randi feud and how Randi willingly pissed away the MacArthur "Genius Grant" money he was awarded on stupid libel and slander cases; he could not stop badmouthing people who had money to shoot back. In the 1980s, the most sue-happy decade of the last fifty years.
So in short, the remaining four months of 2022 will be odd; you will probably see little links to old stories that are finally done, maybe a bunch of IRC conversations from a decade ago, maybe other odd crap. It might look like this collection of not-really random videos below.
