Out of commentary, myself, but BDR has the right of it:

"Odd times: there's something weird going on in what remains of the blogosphere well beyond the traditional slowdowns of the Blog Days of Summer. People, normally prolific people, are posting less; those blogrolls at some friends' places that automatically update when sites post are remarkably static.

I've a theory: what I find myself - and maybe some of you - avoiding lately is saying what I say you say I say you say; it's not boredom as much as the depressive repercussions of reiterating duh's plenitude, pennies on the hundred-bushel. 

What, dad's an apocalyptic megalomaniac addicted to zero-sum gaming, mom's a corrupt enabler, my brothers and sisters are vile and self-entitled, fighting so viciously over the dwindling inheritance the fighting accelerates the inheritance's dwindling, and I'm considered the hypocritical parasite of empire's destruction for saying? 

Yes, yes I am. I find not giving a fuck as problematic as giving a fuck given I need give a fuck in my complicity to eat and have shelter. The silly illusions stripped away, I'm behind the curtain. How many times need I write that?"
