It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Hoorah for Faux News, the little website that dares to stand up to the conservative media empire of Rupert Murdoch. Faux News dares to mock the absurd right-wing circus tent pitched at Fox News.

The intolerant, fear-driven nature of Fox News is shown by their lawsuit against Faux News, claiming that by being mocked, the Fox News brand is put in danger. Oh, sue away, Fox. Your so-called news is so ludicrous that two web sites will pop up to mock you for every other one that you try to sue away.

We've got ideas for two new Fox News mockery sites ourselves:

Fix News: Bringing you all the latest forgeries and lies from the Bush Administration

Fux News: Where little details (like the truth) don't matter

Any takers?
