This post has good links, plus the LJer is trying to think productively.

Also this post.

I'm sure the comments are full of stuff too.

And in the comments to the original whistle-blowing post there are links to a facebook campaign, plus more links to useful alternatives.

ETA: It's going to be OK, guys!!

(Yahoo are filthy people. We shall speak of them no more!)

I want to think positively, but am grumpy. And I broke the handle of my Spike multi-pairings mug. :( It's fixable (if I can find the superglue), but it's not helped matters...

Changed my layout, which cheered me a little - Eleven in a Santa hat is an unfailing source of cheer. Almost.

ETA: More attempts at cheer:


And via Sullivan, an article that has to be read to be believed: The gays stole the rainbow. Really, there is not enough facepalming in the world... (Although I'm pleased that my tag is so appropriate.)

I read the article and all I have to say is people are stupid. (SIGH) But I do love your picture, it gave me a chuckle.

[elisi]

Very VERY stupid. I shall dance on Yahoo's grave.

And the picture made me laugh when I saw it the other day. Have been meaning to share it, and kept forgetting.

do you know, i was just thinking a few days ago about how the gays stole the rainbow! thank you, gays, for allowing me to proudly display rainbows in every day use despite the fact that i am past the age of ten.

[elisi]

Heeee! :D

This "article"... using this respectable noun for this load of absolute BS is giving it too much credit as writing an article actually supposes some real thinking and analysis.

Yeah, I can totally see how “same sex marriage will marginalize men from the family” and “increase the power of the state over civil society.” That makes total sense! Really!!! Is angry!

Very true.

They're panicking because they're losing. Soon they'll be a footnote in history, and not a nice one.

Dear gays and NOM: All UR Rainbows R Belong to US*. Signed, The Irish

* except the ones that make up rainbow bridges. We ceded those out to Asgard.

[elisi]

LOL! :D

The Rainbow article could come straight out The Onion.

"The gay lobby does not own the rainbow."

Yes, with the added implication that anti-Marriage Equality groups somehow do...



(I don't have a rainbow icon so my birthday cupcake will have to do)

[elisi]

The Rainbow article could come straight out The Onion.
It's funny you should say that, because this was Sullivan's link text: Not an Onion headline.

God gave the rainbow to Noah, so that makes is *Christian*, don't you know anything? *rolls eyes*

Ooooh, cupcake! Here, have a cookie! :)

[bobthemole.livejournal.com]

COOOOOOKIE!!

[elisi]

Here's some coffee to go with it. :)

[promethia_tenk]

If the latest doctoreleven post doesn't cheer you, you are literally uncheerable.

[elisi]

I have just come back from picking up children, will check it out asap! Thank you! :)

ETA: Eeeeee! *flails* HOW can they be so adorable??? HOW?

[promethia_tenk]

It seems to defy all laws of nature, but I think I am ok with that :D

[elisi]

Well he's a Timelord, defying the laws of nature is child's play! ;)

[promethia_tenk]

You can't break the laws of science, but we can be civilly disobedient with them.

[elisi]

LOL!

[promethia_tenk]

And old favorite from old podcasting favorite Tiki Bar TV--they liked to talk about "science" in authoritative but ridiculously vague fashion =D

New news: apparently del.icio.us has responded--Yahoo's going to try to sell, not planning to shutter the site. They've updated the TechCrunch article.

...And now you've reminded me of Brass Eye. *happy sigh* "There is no evidence for it, but it is scientific fact!"

[elisi]

It's too late, and I'm too tired, for finding more gifs. But that one made me smile! :)

[promethia_tenk]

Hee :-) I'm pretty sure you won any gif exchange with that first volley anyway--that's a keeper for sure, lol.

[elisi]

I remember watching it! 'Twas for Children in Need, and the spotty (under)pants were auctioned off afterwards. Actually, here's the clip in question - my John Barrowman love knows no bounds! :)

[promethia_tenk]

That is too much awesome =D

[elisi]

Isn't it just? I love, love, love the fact that he's become so famous, because he's such a fabulous, wonderful thing! :)

[yourlibrarian]

LOL, love that picture.

American Family News Network’s OneNewsNow that the rainbow should be the symbol of Prop 8 supporters and Religious Right activists because "the rainbow is a sign of God's covenant with man."

What? Since when? And where have they been for the last thirty years?

[elisi]

It's a good picture! :)

I KNOW! I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Re: Christmas lights pic: ROFLMAO!

Re: NOM affiliate nonsense: why am I not surprised.

[elisi]

This is why I had to share! :)

And yeah, no surprises. I wonder if they'll ever learn...

[1-mad-squirrel.livejournal.com]

May I share the xmas lights photo?

[elisi]

Oh absolutely. I found it The Daily Dish, so it's probably been nicked a thousand times over. :)

[cordykitten]

Thanks for the links (Delicious); hadn't heard of it before. *sigh*
Off to check now.

Funny pic though!

[elisi]

Oh but it's going to be OK!!!

[cordykitten]

Ah too late - kind of. Now I have a back-up. :)
(I just have to remember to back-up again so the other stays up to date too.)
Even better if it stays, I'm used to it and would miss it a lot.

[elisi]

Even better if it stays, I'm used to it and would miss it a lot.
Indeed! *crosses fingers like mad* That said, backups are always a good idea.

[cordykitten]

*nods* That why I'm using Xmarks (both for my IE + FF).
And guess what, I've got an email yesterday saying that LastPass acquired Xmarks. First I've heard that they were sold or in danger to shut down.

There seems to be something in the air that the bookmarks seems to be in danger ....

Having almost lost my computer I'm glad to have a backup plan for my bookmarks, even more now with the other sites that are available too. Didn't know of them.

[elisi]

There seems to be something in the air that the bookmarks seems to be in danger ....
There does rather. I've just downloaded mine, but nothing else, so will probably still be looking around. Just in case.
