On December 29, the current owners of LJ posted an announcement to the Russian language news community: ru-news.livejournal.com/80899.html You can drop that into Google Translate, it does pretty okay with Russian these days.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Gave up a closet for a hydroponics set up and prepping. These things are a big initial investment but I’m growing seeds to seedlings, microgreens, and sprouts all off those lights. The plants last forever and you cannot get a better taste. Everything’s on a timer, there are even Bluetooth timers

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

They don’t want AOC or Mamdani being the face of young(ish) progressives because they’re so popular, so they’re doing this. That’s all that’s happening here.

Chile peppers are a traditional part of Indian cuisine — and a key crop for women farmers. They say it's too demanding for men. "In spite of the challenges," says one, "we've found freedom."

My favorite bit about this is they did a poll and like 60% of respondents had no idea who he was. I've never seen so much energy to destroy someone most people have never heard of.

Tried holding one hand out of the window of a moving car to play with the wind as a visual metaphor for my capricious nature but I accidentally slapped a passing seagull

This is pretty much the end of pax Americana and the global free oceanic trade system. Indonesia will want to charge fees for the strait of Malacca, Denmark for the Danish Straits, Spain and Morocco for the strait of Gibraltar. The days of US Naval hegemony guaranteeing global trade are done.

"Roku City is on the verge of bankruptcy. Not from natural disasters or economic depression (though those factors aren’t good), but because they love re-creating supertall office buildings that look exactly like other famous office buildings."

I like a good grip; I like to feel something in this slippery world that can hold, man.

I love John Linnell's photo alt text captions so much

Woodstock people! Thank you so much for such an auspicious start to a touring cycle. Y'all rocked!

Can you imagine if we actually prosecuted the Epstein class? Like 85% of societies ills would vanish overnight.

Guy on the news said "Sudan is what happens when the world's richest man is killing the world's poorist children" that's awful

Bug or feature?

I've been a fan of My Little Pony since I was like 6 years old and I still don't know how to correctly pluralize the brand name. My Little Ponies? My Little Ponys??" I've said "these are my My Little Ponies" too many times...

Just in case anyone was unaware of the company Clavicular keeps and why I don’t give two shits that his nazi ass overdosed

"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking

The right wins: Democrats need to stop being so progressive The right loses: Democrats need to stop being do progressive

for whatever reason people have really latched onto "chopped" and "unc" and it's driving me nuts. none of you are unc. you're not an adult named desmond looking for the brown liquor and dominoes at the cookout, okay? you're just OLD.

Congratulations to photographer Andrew Harnik who has won the White House Correspondents’ Association award for presidential news coverage with one of the greatest Oval Office photos ever captured.

what’s funny about this prompt, of course, is that all of us here are old and therefore can’t perceive that old-coded opinions in 2026 are things like “rilo kiley is better than death cab” or “gawker was important” or “the internet is a philosophically meaningful singular object”
