Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks! I'll check out YouTube for it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Inclination to do actual work-work today: very low.

Same here. Sadly, the quantity of actual work-work to be done is not cooperating.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is anyone else noticing just a TON of Netflix original stuff that is not advertised at alll? My gut is that a lot of it is sub-par stuff.

They'll buy almost anything that can't get distribution in theaters or on broadcast/cable, and label it Netflix Original. So all the crap that used to go direct-to-DVD *plus* a lot of crap that would never have even made it that far winds up in their catalog just waiting for the algorithm to suggest it to someone. It's cheap for them and it lets them say things like "We have eighty bazillion titles for you to watch!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Tumblr staff just posted, here's an excerpt:

"Last fall, we uncovered 84 Tumblr accounts linked to the Russian government through the Internet Research Agency, or IRA. These accounts were being used as part of a disinformation campaign leading up to the 2016 U.S. election. After uncovering the activity, we notified law enforcement, terminated the accounts, and deleted their original posts. Behind the scenes, we worked with the Department of Justice, and the information we provided helped indict 13 people who worked for the IRA."

And I got an email from Tumblr listing all my reblogs of posts by blogs which are implicated in this mess. Tumblr has deleted those blogs, and it's up to users to go through and delete any reblogs of them, or not.

here's the post

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's a very thoughtful statement from tumblr. Nice to see.

Our wings are not tired.

Go Tumblr! That is really nice to read.

Today has been an extremely relaxed day. A lot of my customers are without caring on Fridays so if they have an issue they just do something else and ignore it rather than asking me to fix it. Went for a 90 min lunch with DH, only because apparently spring break has started and restaurants are full. We don't wait but we did spend some time driving around looking for places without a bunch of people sitting outside waiting.

So I have had a chance to catch up on internet stuff. Ahhhh, feel like a slacker with no guilt whatsoever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm working, but someone turned on my slo-mo setting.

Ain't that the truth. I find the Tumblr response so refreshing and encouraging.
