Oh, and Denton has of course managed to rile people up, so each new install comes with fresh new *apparently* unbannable trolls making undeletable posts...I suspect they'll be discovering new functionality in the admin console--I just hope it's sooner rather than later.

I think I need ice cream.

I had the best ice cream yesterday and today:

Haagen Dazs vanilla espresso. It rocks the house.

the comments were literally half the fun, if not more

Very much so. I've been reading both Jezebel and io9 a lot less since I can't figure out how to navigate the comments.

Nick Denton, man!

The dude just can’t leave well enough alone. C’mon.

There are times when the fact that I'm an Internet PresenceTM is a little weird. On a whim I took a photo of my evening snack, then posted it on Tumblr. 20 minutes later it has 54 notes. I'm very grateful for my fanbase (and let me tell you, thinking about my "fanbase" is another basket of mutant kittens), but still. Weird.

Or, alternatively, your snack was just that awesome.

My best post to Tumblr has 38 notes after six weeks.

I don't think I have any notes on mine. I'm not even sure how many followers I have, which is sad because I like Tumblr a lot more than Twitter or Facebook.

To be fair, Jilli, your snack did have a pink drink with a bat stirrer, which lends credence to billytea's theory.

Scola, it is not cool that my best post has almost as many notes as yours, as your photos are friggin awesome.

If I say something awesome or cute enough about Jilli's snack, she will notice me and thus validate my existence! And maybe we can be friends!
