Earlier today I was doing one of my infrequent reviews and updating of the blogroll on my home page. The very concept of a blogroll is a reminder of the olden days before social media conquered all. I've had Normblog on that roll for many years. It was the first major circulation blog to put THC on its blogroll and it was run by the Norman Geras a British Marxist, a genial and generous man I admired. Norm passed in 2013 from cancer but his family maintained the blog in its frozen status for many years and so I kept it on the blogroll as a tribute. I see that the domain for the blog is now gone, so will be removing it, but wanted to take note again of Norm and link to what I wrote upon hearing of his death. He represented a lost world where interesting and informative discussions could take place across political lines.
