He also has a post on reparations, which I’ve written about several times. I don’t intend to revisit that matter, but it’s in the archives if anyone can figure out how to search them now that Google has banned its own Blogger platform from search results.
Forthcoming: Outlawry and Conan
AVI has a fun post about a pirate museum, and some thoughts about outlawry. In the latter post he mentions Conan, who is a useful interlocutor because he passes into and out of several relevant relationships. In any case these topics are interests of mine, and if I get a few minutes I will write about them.

For my old Blogger blog, search still works both for the built-in search at the top of the page and for general google search using the site: prefix.
Looks like it works for Grim's Hall, as well...what symptom did you see of search being banned?
Every regime I have heard of that had to resort to censorship to quash ideas they did not want people thinking about, eventually figured out it was easier to get rid of the thinking people.
White Rose comes to mind...
I have not tried the search at the top of the page; these days I usually look at it on my phone, which gives the mobile edition without one. I haven’t been able to find posts using Google and the site prefix in ages.
OK, this is interesting. It works for Grim's Hall for me on Mac laptop with Brave browser, it does not work with Safari with either Mac or iPhone.
But, my old PhotonCourier blog DOES work on both laptop and iPhone Safari.
This is sounding like a browser censorship issue more than a google censorship issue.
I have the same Blogger/mobile device problem, but there is a way to get out of it. If you scroll to the bottom you can click on "view web version" and get to the search bar at the top and all your sidebar stuff. The print is much smaller though, so I only use it when I have to.
I run Firefox on a Win10 Pro machine, and I use Startpage in strong preference to Google for searching. Startpage turns up the Hall as the first response using the search term "Grim's Hall". Trying Google from my browser also turns up the Hall using "Grim's Hall" as the search term, along with the same references to a college's Grim Hall.
Searching on "Grim's Hall" in the Hall's search field at the top turns up a potful of Grim's posts in the Hall.
I get the same results using Microsoft's Edge browser.

Fascinating. For a long while now I couldn't easily get here by google search, on any browser, what would come up would be the school buildings and Ramesh Ponnoru's brief linking of Grim in reference to a rebuttal he'd written Ramesh. It seems like perhaps google has righted the blogger ship, or they purged whatever they think they needed to purge and have opened the doors back up.
