Apparently a bunch of you are being redirected to some secksy time websites. We think it is a bad plugin that hackers have exploited and are working on it.
I am so sick of this fucking shit. The rebuild can not be here soon enough.

This is what happens when you say “we are so fucked” too often.

The rebuild is for design, it will still use the WP platform, AFAIK.
On a happier note, WaPo looks over Rainbow.

” redirected to some secksy time websites. ”
Not me. I never got it. What the heck. This is supposed to be a full service blog. I guess I have send an ALL CAPS email complaint to Cole asap.

What gives Cole…am I not good enough for “secksy time” re-directs…smh

I too have been cheated out of all the sexytime sites, and I too feel aggrieved.

Thank you, John. This unpleasantness has popped up for me [counts on fingers] at least half a dozen* times today. Even when I’m alone in the room (not at work, not in public), it is beyond disconcerting.
Again, if you need to put up a fundraiser site so we can get rid of this prønographic menace, I’m in for a donation.

No sexytime for me either. Not like that’s news.

Not getting the crappy redirect but also the site is not refreshing well at all. 6-8 refreshes and the front page will not show up properly and same when on a post. Never seen it this bad before.

@lamh36: Clearly some class system here at this supposedly egalitarian miserable lefty blog. Right now I got some goofy sunscreen swim shirts, i don’t even understand what they are. Baldness remedy (I have plenty of hair on my head), and some boost prostate health pills (closest thing to sexy time this damn blog’s ad service ever sends my way). And cheap mortgage crap.

Oh, so THAT’S what happened. I could not figure out where that page came from, it seemed to come out of nowhere. It was very discombobulating, to say the least.
Thanks for clearing it all up for me.

@jl:
You know it just picks up on stuff you’ve searched for or are browsing.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: I’m always searching for when a Baud 2020! campaign rally will come nearby. I never get a Baud 2020! ad.

@jl: @Smedley Darlington Prunebanks (formerly Mumphrey, et al.): I unfortunately did get it. It was really quite vile stuff. Oddly, I blocked the two websites that it was sending me to and it seemed to do the trick for now.

I’m delighted to report that I’ve never had any problems with the blog, including the latest reported annoyance. (inaccess BJ almost exclusively on my iPad, FWIW). I almost feel left out. Then again, I figure when the rebuild makes its debut, no doubt that’s when my access will go haywire. It’d be only fair.

I just heard from Alain, he’s working on the fix right now and expects it’ll be done in about 5 minutes!

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature?

I got some alcohol rehab clinic ads, so that’s nice. I don’t really drink. Maybe a glass of wine a month.
Still waiting for the sexytime ads, damn it.

Did any of you see Ted Cruz there?
