Oh ffs. Sorry

What's for dessert? Don't tell me, orange sorbet

Telegraph newspaper editorial on Mandelson's appointment in December 2024 versus editorial today

There isn't just "edit" on Mastodon. There's also "delete and re-draft". BSky could never.

more normally I'd expect them to be punching good guys rather than configuring your CMS but you do you
