MOAR LJ FAIL LINKS
http://seperis.livejournal.com/583653.html
http://community.livejournal.com/sf_drama/612153.html
http://msilverstar.insanejournal.com/37790.html

The third link is from worldserpent, the first is from I Forget. The second came up in a google search. In order: funny comments from users responding to the LJ "news" post, babelfish translation of the more straightforward Russian news post (warning: link is full of xenophobia and bad soviet jokes), roundup of responses by the Advisory Board.

Also via Charmian, a link to a totally new offense: http://stewardess.insanejournal.com/228035.html
Wherein LJ edits the "Top Interests" page to remove "sex," "porn," "fanfiction," and "fandom." I don't know about you guys, but I've never felt more loved! :D :D :D ...:(
EDIT: 'faeries' and 'bisexuality' also removed, along with terms like "hardcore" and "bondage."
EDIT2: Aaaand they're back. I gotta say, LJ staff is unlucky when this stuff breaks over the weekend, when the crisis management staff are away from their desks.


REACTIONS TO (JUMP) MANGA
Warning: links point to recent manga chapters. The chapter number is in the URL after the series title if you want to avoid spoilers.

THAT WILL NEVER STOP BEING DISTURBING NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENS AHHHHH. (On the other hand, this will never stop being cool.)

Aizen Explains it All. XD The evil plan makes a surprising amount of sense! And I'm surprisingly excited for the result:

Hunter x Hunter is doing some interesting things with the passage of time which would be incredibly cool if they weren't so incredibly FRUSTRATING. XD; They'll be cool in the volume release, I guess.


OTHER
Waiting for a certain package from amazon. emblem knows what I'm talking about.
