Who has noticed anything new at SoylentNews these past couple days?
We have a new editor who has just come on board and has posted his first two stories to the site (one each for the previous two days).
You may recall that I posted a request for help a little over two weeks ago. I am happy to report that we had a positive response to the request... and a new editor has been in training starting a few days later!
Please join me in welcoming spiraldancing to his new role as an editor on staff. He is not new to the site as he created an account here a bit over 4 years ago. He worked his way through training on our development server. (Under the watchful eye and guidance of janrinok. JR not only walked SD through the mechanics of how to post a story, but also a goodly amount of what to be mindful of during the whole process. It is all too easy to make a mistake... which I can attest from personal experience!)
I look forward to seeing him bring his perspective and input to our team.
Welcome
Aboard!

He's a wannabe Conservative who sides with the Dems year after year, 'cuz the Repubs, year after year, just keep redefining 'batshit crazy'.
Alternately, he actually tried arguing in favor of an aristarchus sub, until he was talked out of it.
At least that's what I heard.
Lets go exploring.

Which is like siding with Kim because Duterte is too much of a dictator. Welcome aboard, have fun.

I wonder why he capitalizes "Conservative". British? Canadian? A US veteran who needs to be told how to vote [conservativepartyusa.org]? Maybe just reading a lot of Twitter.
Thank you for your service.

From "spiraldancing (5894)" and the *spoiler* in tfa, it looks like you set up a new login for this gig.
Smart move! In the old days there was lots of talk about fireproof underwear, that may also be helpful?

LOL. You got the right kind of crazy to work here. Looking forward to your contributions :)
