I don't know what's up, but I'm unable to leave comments on certain Blogger/Blogspot blogs. Even though I'm signed in to Google, such that I can access my own Blogger account, my Gmail account, and my Google Drive account via Chrome browser tabs, I can't traipse over to, say, Steve Honeywell's blog and leave a comment because that blog basically says I'm not logged in even though I am. I don't know what the matter is; I'm looking into the problem by visiting various user fora; we'll see what comes up. I may have to delete cookies or something in order for sites to recognize me. That's a pain in the ass, but I'd rather go through the pain than be unable to leave comments on some of my favorite blogs.
I doubt anyone is actually wondering about my absence, but in case anyone is: that's the problem. Google's gone wonky, and it's messing with my new year. "Don't be evil," my ass.
UPDATE: I just went to Steve's blog, and suddenly... everything works. I'll check some other Blogger/Blogspot blogs and see whether there's still a problem with them. Expect more updates later. NB: one user forum said the problem might be exclusively Mac-related. I'll check once I'm back at my place, but yesterday, the problem seemed to occur on both my home MacBook Air and my Windows desktop at the office. I think the problem is Google-related, not OS-related.

ALERT: unable to comment on some Blogger blogs

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.

Reminds me of days of yore - roughly ten years ago- when Korea would periodically tighten Internet restrictions and block us all out of our own blogs, much less others. Good luck.
