Hello, my pseudonym is Major Major Major Major, and I am, apparently, a blogger.
As many of you already know, I’m a prolific commenter here. (For those who didn’t know that, now you do.) Recent-ish-ly, I’ve been working with Alain on various improvements to the site. These efforts kept hitting the same snag: developing anything for a system you don’t have access to is terrible. So Alain gave me the keys to the production server. Somebody had the bright idea to give me the keys to WordPress too, so here we are.
I know I’m supposed to say something snarky here, but I really do think it’s kind of an honor, so hey, thanks!
Now. Before you complain about the site in the comments, let me say that we are aware there are many issues. We might even be aware of yours! But BJ is nobody’s full-time job, so, well, you know how triage works.
As for posting, I’m going to keep that light. As Alain mentioned, I’d like to start a twice-monthly series where we can all talk about good books to read. I may do the first one on Sunday. If there’s interest, I may also start a feature where we can talk about video games. Let me know. Finally, I may jump in with a west coast late night open thread on evenings where there’s a need.
Bio and pet pics below the fold…
I’m a web developer in San Francisco with an enormous cat named Samwise and a husband named something else. Generationally, I’m an early millennial, which basically means I’m a digital native but I don’t understand Snapchat. I am on Twitter though, so if that’s your thing, feel free to follow me. It’s mostly art and nerd humor, programming stuff, and the expected politics of a neoliberal shill.
(Speaking of my Twitter account, my identity is obviously not a secret, but my name is very rare and I ask that you not use it here in text.)
I am also apparently a writer, in the sense that somebody recently paid me for a short story, which comes out next Friday. I’m also working on my third novel, which is the first good one I’ve written.
Without further ado: Samwise!
Open thread.

How the fuck did this happen you were supposed to just be fixing shit
Another lurker
I have always enjoyed your comments and I’m looking forward to your upcoming posts.
I am an avid reader so book discussions would catch my eye. How about one centering on the genre of historical mysteries? Barbara Hambley, Lindsey Davis and Josephine Tay are 3 authors every reader should know about.
Anyway, welcome to the front page.

@John Cole: news to me. However, if you’re being serious, plz email

Agree with another lurker. Bring on the book chat!
And what a gorgeous cat!
jl
@John Cole: Someone took down the rotating head ‘unread by John G Cole since 2002’ How did that happen?
Edit: and I think a regular book post is a great idea. Cole or another front pager will volunteer for that? MMM will have it on lockdown. Believe me.
Edit: Is the a Big Book of Enormous and Beautiful Cats? That could the first book.

Now I’m worried Cole is mad.
More than usual, and at me, that is.

‘Sposed to a full service blog, but no book chat. Someone tries to fix that up and Cole gets cranky.

Welcome to the front page! Am such a lurker I’m just guessing at my ‘nym, but books and video games are among my favorite things so I’ll do my best to pop into the comments and am looking forward to reading your posts.
jl
@Major Major Major Major: Whatever it is, it’s not your fault. Apparently Cole is ‘extremely reticent’ and how would it be unusual if you didn’t hear anything directly from him? And he may be joking. Who knows? Don’t worry about it. What’l happen will happen.
If you get kicked off, but you want to do a book chat, just announce a regular day and time you’ll post comments on a book you want to discuss or take suggestions. I’ll check in.
@weasel: Any idea that prompts a lurker named ‘weasel’ to show up, is obviously a great idea, at least for BJ blog.

@Yarrow: And looks like a cat one does not want to get crossways with.
I’m pleased at your promotion MMMM, both because it will benefit us average commenters, and because it may lighten the load for Alain.

Also, I saw a sneak preview tonight of a new Howard Ashman documentary that should be coming out later this year once it has a distribution deal. If you like animation, movies, musicals, or storytelling, you will love the movie. And it will make you cry.

@Major Major Major Major: Look, in the worst case you can still put “Front page blogger on a top 10,000 political and pets blog” on your resume while interviewing. It’s all gonna work out great. :)
Also, I’d love a video game post every once in a while. Cole’s occasional comments on those in his OTs are usually great for discussion. Also too, I need more people to talk about Switch games with. :P

A late night thread for all of of in the wrong time zone? Me likely.
Play seen tonight was top notch; pure theater. Even nudity. Interesting incorporation of a person onstage wielding a Steadicam, projected on a huge screen at rear of stage platform.
Lastly, CORRECTION re: NY meet-up. As am a doofus, forgot what had e-mziled Adam and made reservations under NotMax. Tried for tables upstairs, but those already reserved for a large function, so asked for somewhere removed from the loudest of the bar noise.

That sounds like fun.

I could figure out how to use it but choose not to. I don’t have the energy to be that social and keep that up for extended periods of time. I’m also not that much of a narcissist to believe that people give a shit what I look like with emoji dog ears pasted over head or something stupid like that.

Major Major Major Major, aka Major^4 to me.
Looking forward to late night threads, as I am somewhat of an insomniac these days. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep, other times I wake up 3 hours in and need to get up for a couple of hours. So west coast night owls can help me out with this.
I have the best of big pharma’s products prescribed, and they help some nights. There is also herbal remedies usually available and they sometimes help. But nothing is as good as guessing who will be arrested or indicted next with friends late at night. Right now I have some Weller bourbon with a tiny splash of well water in it. That also helps some nights.
John, if being a front pager is what it takes to keep Major^4 involved with the code base, just accept the inevitable. Let him fix things with Alain. He’s not bad, and he wants to talk about books and games. I move books, and have suddenly acquired a serious novels downloaded to my tablet habit. Science Fiction mostly, a little fantasy. And international political skulldugery coverage provided by Adam and Chery most every day – what more could a stressed out political observer want?
Last election the last week or so of October I had this terrible premonition. Then it came true. Horrible. Rule by morony. By idiocy crossed with larceny. Disregard for international accords. Now it appears to be unraveling, and the people have woken up and are angry. I’m still stressed, such that I suspect I have cracked a molar in my sleep a couple of months ago. But it doesn’t show up in the x-rays… so OK. Sort of.
Hi Major. Welcome to the front page.
Are you going to bring our graphic novel guy in Denver back to live with us again? I miss that story. Are you still tuning up the Sushi novel? I hope my comments were helpful, I intended them to be.
Also, please feel free to provide us with graphic looks at the B-J data stored in all those comments. Maybe graph the links embedded in the comments to other online data stores.
In any case, keep up the good work, best of luck getting to work in NYC.

@J R in WV: “John, if being a front pager is what it takes to keep Major^4 involved with the code base, just accept the inevitable.”
I didn’t even ask to post. When Alain encouraged me to, I assumed that meant I had Cole’s blessing. Regardless, I now haz a discouraged. Feel pretty crappy actually.
@? ?? Goku (aka Amerikan Baka) ? ?: some things are worse, but some things are much better! Not sure how I’d quantify it overall.

IIRC, Cole promised a climate science front pager a few years ago. What happened to that? When Cole gets that done, then he will have some spare time to snoop around into what is happening on the blog.

I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you. “How the fuck did this happen” is Cole’s reaction to, uh … well, to pretty much everything.
Also, I’m pretty sure “How the fuck did this happen” is his standard greeting to all the new front-pagers.
Anyway, if Cole is serious, you can always give back the keys and say, “Fine, fix it yourself. Go ahead. I’m waiting …” You’ll have the keys back quicker than Trump dropping trou for a Moscow hooker.

Before I go to sleep I’ve been chuckling over articles about what the Trumpster revelations this week mean. I don’t read them, the very idea is funny.

@Major Major Major Major: It’s great to have a gay guy married to a guy (of course, one would think). As a gay guy sorta married to a gay guy for 25 years it still stuns me every time we get to be visible.
I came out when gay men were married to a woman and had to figure out how to satisfy their need to have sex that affirmed their deepest romantic fantasies, even when those were not possible.
I was befriended by a good looking guy my first year in college. He stuck on me like bees on honey. I didn’t know any gay people. I wanted to fall in love and he wanted to spend all his time with me and sat on our dorm beds fused together. I got told some friends in the dorm I was gay believing some of them must be. They dropped me. “John” found out because it leaked, told me he couldn’t “be friends”. Went from being hugged close to him on his bed one day to being pushed away forever the next. He transferred to a school in a different state to get away from me. I lost it, attempted to end it all, got booted out of college. I still have trauma from that to this day.
I’m still amazed that an openly gau man can be a front pager on a wonderfully beguiling blog. I lived through being worse than invisible: pervert, mentally ill, disgusting, dangerous around children.
It rocks my boat and melts my heart to have a gay guy be a front pager. Little victories still break me up.

I have a couple of comments. First, love Samwise. Second, I want to let you know that there are a significant number of women/men who have spouses named “Something Else.” Does your husband capitalize or have a middle initial, e.g., “F.” Thirdly, I look forward to the book club and I would ask that you consider book genres that normally don’t get a lot of attention on sites similar to BJ, i.e., Sci-Fi, UK crime drama, etc. I ask because a lot of the time I am looking for escape from the current BS and I don’t have the energy to read a serious tome. And lastly, welcome to your new position and I hope that we all don’t abuse you too much.
Howard Appel
And now I have to admit that I didn’t know you were gay. So what. I only care that you love Samwise and Something Else, that you vote the straight (no pun intended) Democratic ticket and that neither you nor Something Else attended USC undergrad. I am negotiable on the first two, but I draw the line at USC (I assume Samwise knew better than to attend USC).

I like books (I’d better, since I write them), and know nothing of games, because see lazy comment above, but would be interested in learning about them without having to actually play them.
I looked for @Mnemosyne at the Romance Writers of America (RWA) conference, but it was a huge fucking hotel with 2,000 people rushing from one venue to another for four days. Also, too, I never wrote to her to try to figure out where she’d be, so my slacker nature wins again. Sigh.
