In order to have the Tumblr 'app' available at the Apple Store, Tumblr had to institute a sweeping purge of any possible offensive (i.e. erotic) content.

But the takedown notices/warnings were so badly implemented that even the post on the official Tumblr news and information page/site/tumblr got flagged!

Anything with "female presenting nipples" has to go, among other potentially offensive content.

But it seems that the tumblrs of neo-Nazi white supremacist groups are OK......

OK.

Without saying how old you are, mention something (a phrase, perhaps) from your youth that Kids These Days won't understand.

"Long distance rates go up at 5 pm on Sunday!"
"Insert Disk 2 to continue."
"I need one of those inserts to play this single on the stereo."

Recently I was at the employee dining room and I used the term " That's as subtle as a punch on the mouth. " and a cute 25 year old co-worker giggled and looked at me and told me she had never heard that term before. I was surprised and I felt old. ??? :P

Quotes from Warner Bros. cartoons that used to be recognized by everyone, now get me funny looks.  In fact, many quotes from what used to be pop culture get that.  I'm losing a huge amount of my vocabulary!   :(

The latest fun trending thing on that social media platform is:

#UnscienceAnAnimal

In which people who work with animals point out the various anatomical features of the creatures they work with or study. There's a lot of "floof" involved (see Maryland Zoo's alpaca), but I particularly love this one of a Large-Billed Crow, from Sam Ross (an ecologist at Trinity College, Dublin).

Anti-social behaviours lack consideration for the well-being of others. Any types of conduct that violates basic rights (human rights is one of them) of another person. It can show as covert or overt hostility.

2019 is the 150th anniversary of Mendeleev's creation of the Periodic Table.

So you KNOW Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff of "Periodic Videos" has something to say about it.

Here's the video he and Brady Haran put together for the conference opening UNESCO's "International Year of the Periodic Table".

Today there is on the ground here in this part of Las Vegas …. eight goddamn inches ( 20 cm ) of snow on the ground ! :o :o It is 36 Fahrenheit  ( about 1-2 Celsius ) and I'm pretty much stuck in my house. We don't have snow plows here. :P This has been by far the wettest and coldest February since I moved here 23 years ago. I live in the far West part of town and so I'm about 600 ft ( 180 m ) above the strip and it is usually 5 - 10 Fahrenheit cooler here year round overall which is why the airport is merely wet while we have snow here. I know, compared to Buffalo, New York, this ain't nothing but then they don't have 110 F during the Summer either. I, of course, blame …. Global Warming ! ::)
