thatcrazycajunFor the next 24 hours, from 8 PM EDT tonight to the same time tomorrow, this journal will have no new content posted whatsoever. Nor will I be commenting in anyone else's journals. If you need or want to know why (and if you're among my regular readership, chances are very good you already know why), go here.
This is our moment to stand up and let the new owners of LiveJournal know who the frak is really in charge here. Without us users posting content, there literally is no LiveJournal. Remember the old 1976 film Network? (If you don't, go rent yourself a copy on DVD or tape, like, now. You'll thank me later, I promise.) That scene when manic TV newscaster Howard Beale (played so memorably by the late Peter Finch) urged his viewers to go to their nearest windows, open them and lean out screaming at the top of their lungs, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" That's what's going to happen now. If you are an LJ user (especially if, like me, you are a paid user who started out with the now-abolished Basic account), you need to join in.
This time Friday night, we will return you to your regularly scheduled diet of rants, ruminations, questions and general silliness.
