Got a substack, been writing a few things there, may write more in the future (near or far). Mostly there are two accounts (mainly because when I first created my account, I didn't know how to do it and sort of accidentally created two accounts). One is called 'Towards a Rational Conspiracy Theory' -- not always entirely on point. The other is called 'Hesperado's Newsletter' and contains a couple of relevant postings.
I'll probably end up writing there more often than here -- particularly now that Elon Musk saw fit to suspend my free speech at Twitter indefinitely (with no explanation). As I'm less interested in specific news items of the day and more intrigued by the idea of a conspiracy underarching most of the disquieting news streaming into our collective conscious through various media -- an actual conspiracy as well as theories about it (with a critical eye on their problems of quality control & consistency) -- that's what I'll hope to tend to concentrate on.
As far as user-friendly features, substack is much superior to Blogspot here, so that will likely motivate me to publish there more than I do here -- even if I have nostalgic reasons to keep this blog going, at least by posting at least once a month (and trying to keep to a bare minimum any occasional egregious episodes where I let more than one or two months go without posting). The nostalgia reaches back over the past 5 years here, and in its beginnings, Decaf's continuity with the former blog I upkept for a good 11 years (overlapping at its sputtering end with the fitful start of this one). The best way to get a feel for the variegated substance of that nostalgia would be to browse amongst my archives here and there for at least a dozen hours.
