cleolinda | Thursday night. Hot. (Reply)

Hmm. Seems to be a quiet day for news. Not that I mind; it's hot as Satan's underwear down here. Went swimming again today; managed not to burn.

Triple-digit temperatures broil Southeast U.S. YEAH THEY DO. I will say, if such a thing could be seen as a positive, the heat today was at least something of a dry heat, and there was an actual breeze around 3 pm.

To wit: "Because a significant fraction of fandom material (NOT just the lunatic fringe) really is illegal"--and the writer here is just talking about current copyright laws, not even the pornography issue, child or otherwise--"it's impossible for Six Apart to give fandom what fandom wants." Of course, Six Apart is still handling the whole situation pretty badly (favorite boneheaded move: pro-anorexia comms are A-OK!), but: still.

ursulav's: "All those handy soaps are not quite available to order, but the charming Ellen Million would like to gauge some interest so she knows how much to order! So if you're interested in any of the Elder [God] Soap, Naked Mole Rat Soap, or Savage Orange, boogie on over to Ellen's poll and let her know!"
