I imagine there are folks who do not know this scenario has already happened, when LiveJournal was sold to Putin's best owns-all-the-media friend. 20 years ago? When LiveJournal in Russia was the equivalent of twitter/facebook combined. I was there, Gandalf...

I tried eating the purslane growing in my backyard. It has a sour almost lemony taste. Best with raw leaves cut up small and sprinkled on salad, chicken, or fish. Not grown for sale because it dries up super fast. Have to pick, wash, cut up, and serve immediately.
