Goddamnit, LJ.

1) According to Y!News, that bastion of hard-hitting stories, eight hundred chihuahuas and eighty parrots were seized from a MOBILE HOME in Arizona. I don't know if any of you have ever been in a mobile home, but, uh, you can't fit all that in there. I keep imagining a sea of dogs underneath a sea of flying parrots, who occasionally swoop down

Goddammit I want pictures.

Man, when you don't be postin', I have no idea what's happening with LJ. I had no idea that SUP acquired LJ until this morning. That's totally fucked about the no more free/ad-free journals. I miss Danga.

Alas, I can't find any pictures, and the people's website is down due to craaaazy traffic. :(

Me too. At least SUP is overtly admitting that see LJ as a hopefully lucrative business. They're also coming up with clear policies on fanworks and content. But I'm pretty sure that all of that is at risk of going right out the window once you're tied to corporate sponsors.

They're saying that anyone whose account was created before yesterday will be allowed to stay ad-free, but I'm pretty sure that since they introduced plus without warning and did this without warning, there's no reason they won't make us all go plus without warning. I'm personally all in favor of recycling all the accounts not currently in use in order to get as many people as possible ad-free accounts, or deleting them altogether to cut server costs and the need for ads. It's so weird to me that LJ insists on hosting tons of empty and inactive accounts forever and ever.
