I love a semi-colon myself: it adds elegance and precision. But punctuation is as subject to evolution as the rest of language.

My four year old quite likes @jamesblunt.com and The Prodigy!
But we do all enjoy some Back To Bedlam and there are a couple of other artists I listened to this year too for some variety

A feature I'd love to see in bluesky (the official app) is getting notified of certain accounts posting, just stops stuff getting lost in the ether!
I'm sure you can accomplish something *similar* with lists, and I understand third part apps have support for this, but it's a shame it's not official

I did not realise the Bluesky DNS validation thing would be quite that straightforward, that's really cool
