The Contraction of the Byrnosphere

May 5th, 2020

Some Things are Worse Than Being Locked Down with Netflix

I don’t read blogs any more. Not even if they’re blogs belonging to people I like. I have no idea what’s happening in the Blogosphere or whether it still exists.

For some reason, I took a look at Chris Byrne’s blog the other day. If you read blogs, you know him as the Anarchangel. Big, strong guy with stronger opinions. Anyway, I was surprised to learn that things were not going well at all. Chris has gone through a pretty miserable experience with recurring cancer, and it has apparently had devastating impacts on his career and marriage.

He wrote a post in February in which he actually celebrated being able to use a Bowflex. That would have seemed impossible in, say, 2005.

I thought I would mention him today in case anyone wanted to get involved in any way. He has a Paypal button, and he is surely in need of considerable prayer.

By the way, his opinion of the global response, including commonly accepted casualty figures, is not all that different from mine.

I don’t plan to resume reading blogs.

    I actually checked out Gut Rumbles the other day on a whim, which I hadn’t read in years, at least not after Rob passed. I was shocked that it’s still up.

    I hope his kids are doing okay.
