Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Thursday. It's rainy and thus damp here so we're trying to balance between not roasting in here and also not letting the indoor air get damp enough to seep into our bones. Good thing there are fuzzy blankets and soup.

I'd like to know who we blame for inventing UTM parameters so I can thank them for the special little joys I receive every time I strip them from URLs.

Friendly reminder to be nice to your moderators and admins, but especially the moderators. Usually, they're not waking up each morning saying to themselves "how can I make people's lives difficult/fuck up their day today?" Moderation is hard, and the bigger the size of the server/platform the harder it gets, up to the point where it's impossible to do well at scale. Wrong calls/mistakes are going to be made. Best that can be hoped for is that mistakes are recognized and corrected quickly.

Morning everybody, we've made it to Friday!
