What’s happening out there? Tell me all about what you’ve been up to. Also, answer these questions (yes, lurkers, especially you). I’ll know if you’re lying or holding out on me.

CLT’s resident sexpert is having a day today. Take it away, Robert Palmer.

How are things? Where have you been? What have you been listening to? What’s worth reading? Let’s chat. My son and I are home today watching, I suspect, Kung Fu Panda 1, 2, & 3 over and over again. Gary Oldman is a pretty amazing peacock, but I wonder if him seeing so many movies where the protagonist’s parents die is…

Let’s bond in an undemanding way. Give your answers below:

The internet is weird. What are some things worth reading or listening to? BBC runs an interesting piece on internet connectivity as a disruption to identity. There is also this Guardian story about an internet hoax investigator and her take on trolls, frauds, and mob mentality (h/t to LittleWing).

There’s a birthday to be celebrated, CLT.Bonus points if your songs are “Thunder” or “Lips” inspired.

Analysis of Gawker will get boring soon, but I love it when ex staffers feel the need to reflect with varying degrees of subtlety to their self-aggrandising. Short read here.

How are things? Burning to the ground, obviously. It’s Easter and we all have some time off. Instead of spending it with loved ones, what are some worthwhile distractions you’d recommend? I recommend reading this profile of James Deen, which paints a grim but fascinating portrait:

What have you been up to? Read, heard, or tasted anything interesting lately? I would like to hear from you. Especially so if you would like to hang out and post in CLT a little more. The mod team is going to keep an eye out for new authors and your replies to this post will give us an idea of who to look out for. (If…

I can’t wait until kinja is just a series of sub blogs with open letters to people on other blogs or platforms. And then their rebuttals.

It’s getting increasingly difficult to read the blog that brought us all here, as Graby notes below. Let’s see how and what ex-GMers are doing. And let me know what you’re up to. I’ve found some interesting long reads, details below.

It’s confusing when people have different positions on this. Are we pro or anti-punctuation mark in headlines? Because I have used the word “vent,” I am safe from all questioning and criticism. Leave your supportive sentiments in the comments.

Mark Shrayber’s overdue goodbye post is pretty funny, actually. Worth noting:

It’s that time of the year where we look back and think, ‘Really?’ What defined this year on CLT for you? What posts warmed your heart, got you thinking, or got you fired from your place of employment? I believe 2015 was year of the dick. Evidence as follows:

Let’s find out more about each other. You know the drill. Questions this time:

Are there gifs you’ve discovered and love, but don’t often have the occasion to use? I wish I had more news where I could reply with this kangaroo. Also, for those of you following along with my editing saga: great news—my brother got 87% on his thesis! Woo! What good news have you had lately?

someone who once commented upon these shores? I’ve forgotten her name but I recall a few things about her, though maybe the passage of time has given me rose-coloured glasses. Share your memories and maybe we could piece together who it is.

I get the point. Let’s Ask BigDamn Heroes anything. Absolutely anything. And, thanks to kinja, expect about 42 replies to each comment.

It turns out that radical transparency makes for excellent spectator sport. Lets keep tabs on how Operation: Rolling Blunder goes in its second day.
