What is up at The Photography Post?

The first time it happened I figured there must be some sort of technical snafu. That was when the image I've lifted above appeared on The Photography Post which runs a live feed from my blog. In that instance, the white on gray replaced the image from this post. That was several days ago. Today, I opened this post with the same image and .... surprise, it was replaced on the live feed with the same white on gray. Coincidence? Given that, to the best of my knowledge, this has not happened with any earlier posts, I suspect not. What's with that?

Update: As the comments make clear, my initial suspicions were correct. This was simply a technical problem. The simplest explanation is pretty often actually the correct one. My apologies.

Surprise? Right Wing Bloggers are Rigid and Insular

Conservatives are psychologically challenged - there is considerable research supporting that position [1] [2] [3]. So when I read at The Nation about new research suggesting that, relative to its liberal counterpart, the conservative blogosphere is especially inbred and insulated politically and inflexible and hierarchical in technical terms, I am inclined to attribute that to the psychological characteristics that lead people to be conservatives in the first place. The authors of the study are simply too PC to say so.
