Furry art 

I always forget I have an enby hyena ghost names Ix
Someone to Ix: are you a boy or a girl?
Ix: IM DEAD! *snickers endlessly until they leave*
They’re cute and I love them.

linguistics, something I found funny 

"Bokmål (literally "book tongue") is an official written standard for the Norwegian language, alongside Nynorsk. Unlike for instance the Italian language, there is no nationwide standard or agreement on the pronunciation of Bokmål."

I can't believe there's a standard for a language.... that has no standard for the pronunciation of its own name

I'm really thinking mastodon.social should close new inscriptions for good.
Not because it's a bad instance, but because it's still used by too many people as the default entry point into the Fediverse. Also, with every now users, the human and financial cost of maintaining it keeps growing and it really takes a toll on the project's resources.

affection mention 

Tonight I'm going out for dinner with some friends.

... 2/3rds of them are people I've smooched

I'm going to go slide into bed and probably snooze...

Classic Doctor Who :: [an aside (re-rankings)] 

I'm still thinking about The Keys of Marinus.

Because in the context of "all stories told"? It's kinda bad. Like.... quite bad.

But it's also the best example of the stories being told in Season 1, so if you said "I can only watch one story from this season", I'd say "The Keys of Marinus", regardless of its many flaws

Classic Doctor Who :: [an aside (re-rankings)] 

The Gunfighters :: Yes → Maybe
I ranked this higher because I had fond memories, but they didn'thold up to reality

The Savages :: Yes → Maybe
While it was an entertaining watch, it also positioned the Doctor as inherently more "moral"

Classic Doctor Who :: [an aside (re-rankings)] 

I went back through the first 4 seasons, and choosing to re-rank a few of them:

The Reign of Terror :: Yes → Maybe
It's really not that good, and I'm unsure why I ranked it so highly in the first place

The Crusade :: Yes → Maybe
As I was scrolling through the list, I realised that I had forgotten this story even existed - any story that forgettable is not worth a "Yes" (even if it does have one of the best acted scenes from the early show)

Nobody knows why these specific GeoCities web pages - 237 total - all vanished on the same day in 1999. But when they suddenly reappeared exactly 20 years later, they were... clearly not under the control of their original creators. As the world's foremost Paranormal Webmistress, it's your job to find out who - or what - is behind this.

request for name of web standard 

A few months ago I saw a toot that talked about a tool that (I think) was part of the HTML standard, and allowed you to simplify/reduce boilerplate in a webpage without JS.

But I forgot what it was called, and I no longer have my bookmarks - does anyone know what this would be?
