Google bombd and fukt Eschaton?
Google appears to be deliberately downgrading Atrios' well read left-wing blog 'Eschaton'.
I googled both 'atrios' and 'eschaton' and neither resulted in this blog being on the first page of the results. 'Atrios' did result in lots of links to 'Atrios is gay' posts that have been recently emanating from the right-wing reality-denial nuts and full of lies told by shameless lying liars.
It cannot be a general downgrade-all-content-on-blogs thing, as those 'atrios is gay' posts are all on blogs, and searching for 'cummerbund' still turns up this blog, second on the list. If you look at the cummerbund's referrers list, amongst the spam links, there are plenty of google searches hitting individual pages in this site (Devendra Banhart is a favorite).
So google's up to some bullshit or the rightists are google bombing deliberately.
Aside: I can't go outside much today, way too sunburnt from yesterday's escapade at Noosa. Oh yeah, and quite rightly Helen Clarke stopped a horrific concert by Farnsey at Gallipoli on ANZAC day. No respect from Glen Wheatley, Farnham's manager, and no respect is due him for such a cynical attempt to link his business client to that of such an important and solemn national occassion.
The Australia Council gets a big HUH?
Geez, Louise, that's a load of old codswallop (SMH, subscription required).So, what's the plan actually for?
The plan positions the council as Australia's arts catalyst to be much better informed and more flexible in responding to creative opportunities as they arise. Operational flexibility is critical.
