You know who, and you know why.

In a rare sighting, a 3.5 meter salt water crocodile has been photographed chowing down on one of its cousins in Northwest Australia. Crocodile cannibalism is reportedly rare, but evidently not unheard of.

An Edmonton newspaper delivery man has been charged with stabbing to death a fellow Greyhound bus passenger en route near Portage la Prairie in Manitoba. Vince Weiguang Li, 40, stabbed Tim McLean, 22, repeatedly as other passengers fled the bus. Li then reportedly decapitated McLean, displayed his head to passnegers and police, and was reportedly seen eating pieces of his victim by an RCMP officer at the scene. Reportedly, Li had been recently dismissed from his job at Walmart over a dispute with another employee. In his initial court appearance, Li whispered “Please kill me” to the judge.

Not unexpectedly, the fine folks over at PETA immediately came up with an ad comparing the killing of animals to McLean’s murder, to the usual (and not unreasonable) outrage. Nice going, guys!

Valleywag reports that the front-runner for the seat on the “Livejournal Advisory Board”, legomymalfoy, is an active member of the LJ Abus(iv)e team. She doesn’t intend to resign from there if she wins the “election”, as it seems certain she will.

LJ continues to suck and blow…

“Wanted: Communist sociopath accountant willing to exchange free sex and resulting offspring for death threats. Seriously screwed-up applicants only need apply.”

Wow, that’s gonna be a big draw.

• Amberite complains about the difficulty in finding a new home for her kitten; aktiophi advises that he’s “all will and war when innocence is used and abused” and goes downhill from there…
• Aktiophi reveals that the lyrics to the “Star Spangled Banner” are a Jewish conspiracy: “The Star Spangled Banner was rewritten, more than once; and in its final draft (excuse the pun) favored more of a Jewish fundamentalism of Soul realization, freedoms and advantages rather than full Scientific Enlightenment. I assure you Benjamin Franklin is rolling in his grave as we speak. He wrote much about America’s need to protect the Masonic-styled philosophy from being infiltrated by the Jewish people.”
• Posting a YouTube video == “pandering genocide“.
• In response to her thoughts about the Writers’ Guild strikes, aktiophi spots a conspiracy involving the OP: somehow, her posts manage to appear “always, always above the posts of the most vile, chaotic and sneakily vindictive women in the occult world”!  Stop posting right before she does, you harridans!
• isomeme stole the OTO from aktiophi!
• A package has failed to arrive in a timely fashion! What to do? aktiophi knows: “direct your will to direct the light from shining ever-outward by contracting the light from projecting and abide in the neutrality”! Works every time!
• Don’t try and fool him! aktiophi knows you know why your quote reminds him of his quote!
• Samy gets an origami crane with the number “62″ written on it. What can it mean? aktiophi knows! “It means somebody in Fascist America owes me my dead mother’s last wish I receive her life insurance policy, being held up by Light Commies and ethnic cleansers so that I end up homeless.”
• The “Astronomy Picture of the Day” feed has a photo of the nearest galaxy to ours, to which jasalol inexplicably responds “BOOBIES!” Not to be outdone, aktiophi makes jasalol and offer ze can’t refuse: “I’ll make you this deal: If you’ll back off the whoring, lessen your grip on men destined and called to realize their true metaphysical natures so as to heal our planet, your very next incarnation you’re a man, I’ll skry the Universe and raise you. Deal?”
• deathboy is annoyed that his friends went to London without telling him. But aktiophi wants to know, “So tell me: does the science to go along with the cure compute to anyone else but me? Also: Will Papa Big upstairs allow others to further restrain his work to hand me his wizard wand? I’ve had stress enough: level with me”; deathboy keeps his wits enough about him to respond in kind.

I think someone is pirating your software. See here:

victory is MINE!After a week’s downloading and messing with kexts… I HAVE OS X TIGER 4.7 running on my Dell Inspiron 600m crapbox!

(now to get it dual booting on both my Dell Vostro 1000 and my HP tx1000z!)

He’ll probably delete it or hide this entry, so I have a screencap for you. Drop by any time.

…they bring out a whole new weapon for the arsenals of trolls all over Livejournal. Now, Joe Random Delusionally-Aggrieved-Passerby can just flag your journal as “Offensive”, “Hate Speech” or “Child Porn”. And the best part is, you won’t get notified when they do it!

Of course, once you discover that it’s happened, you can always appeal it, the good old-fashioned way: by submitting a plea to the bottomless pit of Abus(iv)e “Prevention”, which will get around to taking a look at it just as soon as they finish wading through all the posts that people are flagging as offensive hate speech kiddie pr0n…

I guess this’ll keep the Abus(iv)e “Prevention” bozos good ‘n’ busy. Do you suppose the folks at Six Apart ever actually think anything through before doing it?

(The base of active users at Livejournal continues its decline, even as hundred of thousands of new accounts get added each month. What do you want to bet the number of paid accounts is shrinking even more precipitously?)

In even less surprising news, “nasrudra” has followed its clone, “got4aco”, into the mists of deletion… Hasn’t kept Mikey from going apeshit in psychonaut, though…

Six Apart is reportedly suspending users for using too many tags now…

Somebody appears to be, not in India, but (as expected) in Austin.

Gosh, there’s a surprise.

[UPDATE: Alobar has, sadly, friends-locked the entry referenced above. It consisted of a lot of the usual vituperative horseshit comments, subsequently deleted, by got4aco, posted from 24.174.30.210--a Road Runner IP address located in, as stated, Austin, TX. So much for the jungles of Goa, I guess. "got4aco" also claimed that his yahoo email address (the same one mentioned in this thread) is a "public email address" used by "10,000 people". What?

got4aco is deleted now, but the content from that journal has been moved over, apparently in toto (recently doubled-in-size "friends" list included), to a new sockpuppet, at nasrudra... Hilariously enough, "nasrudra" goes to even greater lengths to "prove" to the world that he and aktiophi are two completely different people: "His mother's dead, but mine's in a Federal penitentiary!" The right brain knows not what the left brain doeth, or something...]

[UPDATED UPDATE: Heh. Now, "nasrudra" posting to the psychonaut community (just like Chris-py always does) detailing his own troubles with aktiophi/nirbiraja/dems4direction (which is, of course, six other guys). Comments are disabled (sound familiar...?) Why, he's even reported it to LJ Abuse and the police! Just like Chris-py's always threatening to do, but apparently never actually does. Not without reason, either.

Evidently, either "aktiophi" is accusing "nasrudra" of being me, or vice-versa; it's unclear: Lunky's html sk1lz haven't improved any, so he hasn't managed to provide any actual links to this supposed dialogue, although he did copy and paste all the labels and button texts... Certainly if I were involved in this, it'd be grammatically correct, at least...]
