I was excited yesterday to realize that it was Rick Astley’s birthday. So I jumped at the chance to celebrate his special day on this blog in the most appropriate way.
I realize that some readers might not have appreciated the gesture, or the way that it may have sort of snuck up on them.
But perhaps the best response in such situations is exactly how you shouldn’t respond when creepy authoritarians are trying to destroy your democracy from within.
Just roll with it.
