First off, [livejournal.com profile] bike4fish rocks like a rocking thing. I am now awash in cookies, yay! And a belated "you rock" to [livejournal.com profile] gordonzola for the fabulous Jolly Green Giant picture.

On a weirder note: [livejournal.com profile] groovitude? Suspended? Why?

P.S. I don't like this thing LJ is doing with the URLs. It's harder for me to community-hop. Are they just trying to be annoying?

P.P.S. I forgot to link yesterday to a post a lot of you will like. [livejournal.com profile] ridemycamel posted How to Write About Africa by Binyavanga Wainaina. This led, of course, to the collectively-written How to Write About Arabia. It won the internets yesterday.

I watched Lord of War the other night, which cleverly managed to take the lessons in both of these articles to heart. And then redeemed itself with a monologue at the end that suggested that the whole thing was intentional. Unfortunately, the movie kept going after that. I can't decide whether I liked it or not.

I'd like to think it's because I picked a fight with Emo Nazis (http://groovitude.livejournal.com/99424.html) and they sent the stormtroopers after me.

No, it's not an abuse issue. Someone hacked into my journal and changed the email address apparently.

Emo Nazis are in the closet about their sexuality. I'm positively sure about this.

I'm glad the suspension didn't last or I'd be mad.

How dare you tell an emo Nazi that he is an emo Nazi. Especially when he responds with comments with Hitler-edifying icons and comments like "You listen to shitty Jew music! You're probably a Jew, too! I'm not a Nazi! Heil Hitler! Just because I think he was great and I hate Jews doesn't make me a Nazi!" Maybe he's right.

And I really enjoyed the subthread of people mad not at him but at you because you used the f-word back at him. I figured you chose it deliberately and knowingly with intent to get him riled up, because if there's one thing a NeoNazi skinhead hates being called most, it's "fag."

Why did you make the shirt? Or did you?

I got threatened with the big banhammer yesterday after LJ Abuse saw my post (in a locked community) suggesting making Nazis cry on LJ. Bastards.

It's against LJ rules to make Nazis cry? I don't think I'm very happy about that ...

It's supposedly a security issue.

It's a measure against a specific exploit which allowed people to see private/flocked posts of people on the same server cluster with the same password; it was certainly a real problem, but solvable by people choosing better passwords. Unfortunately, other security issues are still pending, according to the hackers ("Bantown"?) who found the exploit. It's probably related to your aforementioned friend's LJ getting hacked!

They have also threatened to use a massive Denial of Soul attack to vault the Conservatives into majority. But that will never happen, right? RIGHT?

LJ believes that the URL change will stop the hacking. The hackers say it won't.

Yeah I was just going to look for that. Thanks!

It didn't stop them from hacking my journal.

I'm bothered by the recklessness of these people. I got my journal stolen and my interest list is now gone. Nothing else is missing but that's more than enough. It will cause me loss of time that I could be doing something more enjoyable.

Why would anyone expose security flaws to blackmail LiveJournal unless there is something seriously wrong in their head? I'm guessing they're professional programmers who're just after prestige of putting one over LJ by harassing innocent LJers, which makes their "cause" extremely questionable and unworthy.

I think they've already stolen a ton of passwords. With people they really dislike, they made all their locked and filtered entries public, and posted their home addresses.

I can't help noticing that their attitude to anyone upset about having their journal hacked is the sarcastic "internets, serious business" response, but they evidentally find the internet serious enough business to spend all this energy fucking around with innocent people just to cause problems for LJ Abuse.

I must confess that in the many years I have known [livejournal.com profile] bike4fish, I have never been acquainted with his cookies.

(Did that sound dirty?)

I WANT COOKIES :(

From: [identity profile] frippy.livejournal.com
Yes, I'm probably going to bake some this weekend. I deserve cookies. But I really just want cookies delivered to my desk right this instant. I should quit my job and start up a cookie delivery service -- I'd ride my bike around the city and deliver cookies to the deskbound and despondent.

Also, your icon? AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Wheee! I'm glad they finally got there.

But now I guess I'm going to have to make a lot more for next year.

I thought this might be a good place to post this PSA.
