Meanwhile….

I’m away from Slugger Central for the next two days, but there will be limited posting from the ubiquitous sluggerotoole. In the meantime a few recommendations: David Steven on blogging as journalism; the Portadown News is unmissable this week; Paul Dunne on crossed wires in and around West Belfast; Christopher Hitchens has a dig at Ian Paisley, whilst dishing it up to the ten commandments and religion in general; and if you haven’t been there already, Up the Lagan and in a bubble is worth visit; and The Blanket is back in business! See you on Friday.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
