I just went and checked my web server, which hosts a couple of dozen different clients and their websites, to ensure that a certain change I inserted is still present. It is. Examine this listing of the server's headers for proof that Sir Terry lives:

That's a lovely mental image. Thank you.
I don't engage, but if I did, I would just reply to their shittitude with this, which I think says everything that needs to be said with minimum effort:

I know the mantra: block, don't engage. It's wise, and I support it. But that's Bluesky; on other platforms, there's still time to leave a parting shot. When someone there makes a comment or a post that shows their true, malevolent self, perhaps you can leave them this parting gift before you go.

Quick check - I know a lot of words have different meanings in different contexts, but can anyone give me a dictionary reference for the use of "hilariously" in this case?

Just to demonstrate that is is, in fact, possible to be very rude without needing to use any insulting language at all.

I can suggest a tiny change to Facebook's "reporting" system that would bring it a whole lot closer to the ideal demonstrated by Bluesky. What do you reckon - will Zuck authorise the change if we ask nicely?

Can't say I'm impressed with the new logo for X (formerly Twitter) that Elon unveiled after the inauguration. It seems derivative, somehow.

Just saw this. The casting is BRILLIANT. Pretty sure the first two unlabelled ones will be Chris and Bogdan, and they're both perfect. Still not sold on Pierce Brosnan as Ron, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Shame it's a movie rather than a full series, but I guess it avoids Netflix Bloat.

I can never really recommend reading the comments on a Facebook thread, especially one about comedians making fun of transgender people. This thread was pretty good, however, and this comment was just perfect.
