Domain searches

Very cool highly-interactive domain name search site, PCNames. Shows, as you type, if the main TLDs for what you have are taken — offering a WHOIS for the ones that are, and the ability to choose several registrars for the ones that aren’t. Spiffy.

My personal 1st-run #TOS story:

Probably s.3, when it aired at 10pm instead of 8:30. As a 7yo, that was too late for me to be up, resulting in a battle each week.

Once I was really miffed about being sent to bed before #StarTrek, so I locked the hallway door the previous owners had put in. I then fell fast asleep. When my parents went to bed, they had to tap on the bedroom window to wake up my younger brother to unlock the door for them.

No recollection of the immediate consequences.

The only thing #Trump is proving with his petty, childish, look-at-me antics about #LakeOntario is demonstrating how easily such renamings can be rolled back once the dolt is out of office.

It'll take a bit more effort to scrape off all the cheap, gaudy, gilt rococo he's festooned the #WhiteHouse with.

Because we have an insecure, Daddy-issues, petulant child in the #WhiteHouse, expect higher #toiletpaper prices in the US. Which, given the rising tide of shit around here (not least of which from food-borne illnesses), is bad news.

Maybe time to look into a bidet.

#TimCurry was one of those actors I could always enjoy, regardless of whether I liked the rest of the production. #RIP

The point of anti- #drag laws is not, of course, that the person pushing for them does not want to go to drag shows, but that they don't want anyone else to be able to go to them, either. Liberty for me, but not for thee.

I'm Old Enough To Remember when the US wasn't a #bananarepublic where El Presidente-for-Life insisted on renaming everything to glorify his vanity and/or petulance.

Does the #KennedyCenter need capital maintenance? Probably.

Does the Kennedy Center need to be turned into a temple for #DonaldTrump 's ego? Absolutely note.

But Trump is happy to conflate the two questions -- and, if he doesn't get his name in flashing lights and gilded statue, to tear the place down.

#MikeHuckabee, the US ambassador to #Israel is shocked, *shocked*, that there are violent settlers on the #WestBank trying to steal Palestinian property, and he wants that to Stop. Right. Now.

Well, mostly he's shocked regarding property there belonging to #PalestinianAmericans. 'Cause, y'know, *that's* the only worrisome aspect of it. He's fine with Israeli settlements all over the West Bank, just not if they take from folk with American connections.

#Texas Governor #GregAbbott had decided that washing stations at Texas airports used by #Muslims before prayer are religious #discrimination against good ol' Christian boys like him because, well, *he* doesn't use them.

Also because he's an #Islamophobe and thinks it plays well with his #Republican base, which it probably does.
