That's not what we meant by LJ-Cut

Lj makes job cuts

Except they have their math wrong and other sources say only 13 jobs cut.
Because this is LJ, there is a lot of flailing going on but no real info.

It's probably not a bad idea to periodically back up your journal ANYWAY (and see that someone is backing up your fave communities) but other than that we wait.

According to Dr. LJ, these are some decent free archving tools:
LJArchive
LJ Book - makes a big PDF and takes a while
Something that works on a Mac

Of course, with all the shrieking, these sites are probably flooded so YMMV.

on NOVA tonight

is the 'Prisoners of the Ice" episode, where they go back to try and find out what happened to the lost Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage.

It's horrifying but fascinating - the things those men went through, and in many ways how unnecessary it all was. But I love stuff like this - going back to revisit what we thought happened with modern forensic techniques and re-opening the book on a story like this. It's that same part of my brain that watches "Secrets of the Dead" and other similar programs.

I love history because I never outgrew "But WHYYYYY???? And THEN what happened?"
