Organizational announcement
The 20th anniversary of the start of my blogging career has come and gone, entirely unnoticed by anyone, myself included. I did notice, however, that this blog is steadily declining, bringing me to think that it is time to make some changes.
Over the past two decades of continuous blogging, I have tried various approaches and venues.
• The first, from 2006 until 2021, was at https://cluborlov.blogspot.com, where just under a thousand of my earliest posts can still be found.
• I also tried blogging at Patreon. Surprpsingly, it didn't ban me for being less than a full-retard liberal, but then in the spring of 2022 Patreon stopped working for me because of anti-Russian sanctions (at the time, I was already done with the US and living in Russia). Patreon blocked users from Russia and the US Treasury blocked payments to Russia. This forced me to switch venues yet again.
• Since then, I have been blogging at

Hi Dmitry, I have been following you for a few years, first when I resided in Canada and now in Bulgaria. With the latest EU brain excrement sanctions, I have to read this blog trough VPN. I realy enjoyed your interviews on YouTube with the verious channels and I know you are not a fan but I always looked forward to these. Anyhow, let us know what your next step are and please keep doing the good work!

Boris Kolev, Boosty is not officially blocked by national internet service providers or government regulators in any European Union country. The domain loads normally across EU member states. No need to use VPN.

Dmitry, on your worst possible day you are immeasurably wittier and more incisive than the majority of your fellow humans will ever be. Maybe do some talks with Stas Krapivnik @MrSlavikman, hard to imagine that would not be pure unscripted gold, and maybe enjoyable for you both as well. My deepest thanks for the first 20 years, been lurking all along the way and will continue wherever you go.
