It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of
a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into
privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing
algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the
planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times. We're tickled to introduce a new feature on Irregular Times: Irregular News. Irregular News is quick way for you to check headlines, follow the blogosphere and gather information from disparate places like Africa, Asia and Europe as well as on a series of topics tied to progressive politics, such as the environment, irreligiosity, civil liberties and that son of a Bush. Hundreds of news and opinion pieces will be updated to the site every day. Before we really roll this puppy out, we'd like you to check it out and tell us what you think. What would make it better? Are there sources we're missing? Additional categories needed to flesh things out? In order to make this work in the long term as a community resource, we need your input. So please, Visit the Irregular News First Draft... then come back here and tell us what you think! ![]() ![]() ![]() |
