There is this one picture that I retweeted from someone yesterday that says "WHAT IF THE MAYANS MEANT THE END OF THE INTERNET?" which sums up many people's feeling on the matter I guess, but with the waves SOPA is making, i don't know how they can pass it. (this is me being optimistic.)

Speaking of looking for things, do you know of any mirrors of Mabo's Yaoh?

As a comm maintainer, the MU shutdown really hit hard. I don't even know what to say. I can't afford the time to rebuild the years of effort, but if anyone wants to try, I'm willing to help in small ways such as coordinating the posts and the lists. I haven't made a post to the relevant fandom comm yet. Can't bring myself to.
