I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.

This describes way too many progressive-minded people that I know:

- economic bubble -> golden age (when a Democrat is President)
- free country -> oppressive regime
- oppressive regime -> workers’ paradise

- export of communist revolution -> true democracy
- terrorists -> freedom fighters
- freedom fighters -> imperialist occupiers, rapists and murderers
- rambling communist thug -> idealistic romantic dreamer
- hard-working productive individual -> corporate fascist
- lowering standards -> raising awareness
- degeneracy -> striving urban culture
- human excrement -> thought-provoking art
- destruction of the family -> social progress
- clinical paranoia -> outstanding filmmaking
- failing government program -> need to increase funding
- destroying a perfectly good economy -> care for the downtrodden
- improving the lives of the downtrodden through innovation -> selfish greed
- truth telling -> hate speech
- hate speech -> sensitivity training
- targeting terrorists -> indiscriminate murder of civilians
- indiscriminate murder of civilians -> resistance to imperialism
- protecting the innocent -> racial profiling
- racial profiling -> affirmative action
- partisan lies -> unbiased news reporting
- unbiased news reporting -> fascist corporate media
- fascist stormtrooper tactics -> proactive approach to progress
- proactive approach to progress -> destruction of the planet with industries
- living human being -> carbon polluter
- dead human being -> Democrat voter
Comrade Red Square’s list of Party-approved word proxies to frame the debate and foster a shift in public perception.
The mad geniuses at The People’s Cube are at it again.
