More LJ censorship hits the fan

So now they've added a "flag this post" icon to the toolbar, right to the left of the "next post" icon, that lets you flag somebody else's post as containing (pick one) Explicit Adult Content, Offensive Content, Hate Speech, Illegal Activity, Nude Images of Minors.

And you can flag your journal, or an entry, as containing "adult concepts", whatever the hell that means. It blocks users who gave their age as under 14 when they signed up. (My younger daughter joined back before they allowed under-13's to join. I was there. I told her to lie about it. Nothing in this post should be taken as advice.)

Details, such as they are, here in lj_biz.

Excuse me; I have to go take my blood pressure meds.

Ouch!

I managed to sneeze while starting to blow my nose. I don't recommend it -- the affect appears to be similar to rubbing the roof of your mouth with sandpaper.

Praise from a relative

I recently got a postcard from my Aunt Jean; my Mom had sent her a copy of my CD. She said, in part, "You have a wonderful voice with great pitch and great guitar playing!"

Now, normally I tend to discount praise from relatives, because, well... But she didn't have to put in that bit about pitch. And she's a professional cellist. Must have done something right, then.
