Until we can figure out how to fix WordPress’ “helpful” update that over-rides CSS, Samizdata will be looking a bit weird… sorry folks.
And hey WordPress… fuck you. Maybe time to start looking for an alternative to WordPress.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

It’s for Your Own Good.
FYI for me at the moment, viewing on Brave, it looks just as it always has.
As of time of posting, fine on Opera mobile and Windows.
It looks ok now as I have switched one plug-in & installed another 😉
@Perry de Havilland:
I thought the:
– might have been unnecessarily offensive, but it does rather communicate how ruddy annoying it must be for WordPress site admins. when they are on the receiving end of a monumental cock-up by WordPress.
Otherwise, as far as it goes, has being a WordPress site been a good experience on the whole, or not?
(Just curious.)
I run a teeny tiny website for our sailing club. Our WordPress is something like six years old.
Every once in a while someone in the club tells me we should upgrade. I immediately offer them the admin logins.
The smart guys just back away without making eye contact.
Upgrades should always be avoided.

On the plus side, the mobile site now doesn’t go through an infinite page-refresh loop when tapping on an article from the home page. I don’t know if anyone else experienced that problem, but it does seem to have gone away now.
All I know is, Samizdata is hands-down THE most attractive, readable, easy-to-use website on the entire Wonderful WWW, if you ask me.
Molto Grazie, Perry. And, I assume, still Alec. 😀
It looks exactly the same in Win10, Firefox (newish rejigged version). I hope that is useful.
Please explain.
I’m seeing large, bright, ugly icons for various social media sites below each post. I don’t remember those being there before.
Ugh! Thank the Great Frog and our fearlessly stubborn Leader that they’re not here!
