Why so fail, LJ?

This is probably the seven hundredth post of this kind on your f-list, but just on the off-chance anyone hasn't seen it yet... the new profile page is live, and it's extraordinarily fugly. Also, there is no opt-out option, which means you can't make the fugly go away.

If you disapprove, go here and bitch at LJ to let them know that this is really not okay.

ETA: If you feel like rebelling in more ways than just posting a bitchy comment, go here.

ETA 2: Or here. We can has petition.

Friends Lock - I can has?

Found this link on jantalaimon's journal - thank you!

You know how the new profile advertises the Search option with a nice blue-colored spelled-out link right next to your entry count? Well, this search option was on the old profiles as well, but it was a little magnifying glass that nobody ever seems to have used, judging from the frowny-faced posts about the 'new' search option I see cropping up everywhere.

This search option might make it possible for people to view your friends-locked entries even if they are not on your f-list.

ETA: Or maybe not! LJ is being as confusing as always. Go here for some clarifications.

If you don't want that to happen, go here and follow the instructions.

When politics are cute.

Who else wishes that they'll finally announce Eleven on CIN, so the constant posts of 'oh look, I found another dodgy newspaper that's announcing Random Actor #1227 as the new Doctor' at doctorwho will stop?

I still want Paterson Joseph. I acquired Neverwhere and will watch it and hopefully be just as convinced of him afterwards, because I want to like him. He seems nice.

Seems like I was spouting bullshit in my last post. People who are smarter than me convinced me of this. Read the link in the ETA to find out what I'm talking about. (Ooh, the suspense! ;))

I saw this all over the f-list, and it's seriously adorable.

( Yay for smart and generous kids! (Huge image under the cut.) )

I will now start talking about Nano, so if that bores you, you should probably skip to the end. ;)

( Blah blah Nano blah. )
