I am just not going to be able to comment on anything at livejournal today. People keep posting stuff that makes me want to say, "If this is your idea of an April Fool's joke, maybe you should rethink it, because wow, if it's not real, you're kind of an enormous dick."
Like what? All I've seen this morning were about a million rickrolls.
I love the Bacon Matrix, but it's wrong. Obviously, after you give bacon to the dog, there should be an arrow leading back to the point of cooking up more bacon.

Oh my. This is deeply moving... A series of portrait photos of people before and after death, with a brief description of their lives and deaths....
Rita Schoffler, 62
First portrait: February 17 2004
Rita and her husband had divorced 17 years before she became terminally ill with cancer. But when she was given her death sentence, she realised what she wanted to do: she wanted to speak to him again. It had been so long, and it had been such an acrimonious divorce: she had denied him access to their child, and the wounds ran deep.
Second portrait: May 10 2004
When she called him and told him she was dying, he said he’d come straight over. It had been nearly 20 years since they’d exchanged a word, but he said he’d be there. “I shouldn’t have waited nearly so long to forgive and forget. I’m still fond of him despite everything.” For weeks, all she’d wanted to do was die. But, she said, “now I’d love to be able to participate in life one last time…”
Life Before Death
I don't understand why my friends were rickrolling me months ago, and yet it seems to be the new hotness all of a sudden! Those friends are not my friends at the forefront of the internet!
Oy! So much to do today efore I leave. And Frances just hit a milestone: SHe cut her own hair today. Lots of it, too, and without benefit of a mirror. ANd the big surprise is it doesn't look bad. She was lucky.
I wanted to take a picture but I can't find my camera. I have a sneaking suspicion I left it at Kat's house.

Seriously, when the LiveJournal team rickrolls all of LJ in a fake news post, I'd say that's the exact moment the meme is OVER.
