Comments on New Orleans from lj:

katrinacane's Friends. Links to the journals of all livejournal using New Orleans residents who did not evacuate the city in advance of Hurricane Katrina.

Comments from lj on other news items:
Thoughts about pornography by [livejournal.com profile] skibbley, well-known UK bi/poly/sm activist. This is the news. What we can do about it and why we might want to. Probably NSFW, but worth reading if you have any interest in porn or erotica and/or keeping the government out of your sex life.

Entertainment & Humour:

What'll happen if Microsoft take over vi. Geek humour for the unix kids, possibly incomprehensible to others. From RA via [livejournal.com profile] epi_lj.

As always, there's way more link sausage over at j00j's journal, from news to funny & bizarre geeky stuff.
