That's not how the Royals handle things. They keep silent and wait for it to blow over. It doesn't always work but its all about reputation for them.

I've been thinking the same thing. We don't know if Andrew is actually guilty of anything. It seems if he really were guilty they (British police etc) would have done something more about it. Taking away his title and moving him away is just to cater to public mania. It isn't saying he is guilty.

I haven't been giving it a lot of attention, but is Prince Andrew Windsor actually guilty of anything? Seems its just guilt by association with Epstein. That doesn't seem like enough to vilify someone. Epstein knew and worked with a lot of people in entertainment, and more. Are they all guilty now?

Lastly, I use Chyrp Lite for my main site. thatgrrl.com/blog It's great as a CMS. Your markdown editor is a little better, especially now that I have solved the sticky toolbar.

One other question. If I activate the columns to edit side by side, how do I get out of them? It covers the sidebar in WP so I can't save or publish. So far I couldn't find a way to get out to the one column screen again, with the sidebar. I'm probably just missing something.

I read that (skimmed/ read) I thought it was about making columns. It seemed a great idea for writing in 3 languages. I didn't understand about the sticky toolbar. That's great. Just what I was wishing for.

@surf.social My device is not on your list. I use a PC. No mobile/cell phone.

@pfefferle.org Is there a way to post bluesky posts to a WordPress, or other, site? This would save me SO much time. I could just edit and expand on what I've already written.

Do they really have snowflake tires? I don't have a car anymore but those would have been my first choice for new tires.

Yesterday I had a tooth pulled out. Other than pierced ears I've never felt I wanted to try body modification. Now, I don't have to. Let them try dental body modification. No doubt someone has done it. (Mine wasn't cosmetic).

A writing related joke I found in my old blog posts.

Circuit board tree art. I can't think of anywhere to put it, but I like it. www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1...

I've seen Shaun of the Dead. It was very good as comedy horror. Another really good one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_an... I had to search to remember the name. I watched it twice, and I'd watch it again still.

Sounds like a Halloween story. A missing woman, never actually missing, something oddball like that.

Halloween ASCII art, my own. #ASCIIart @lovehorrorfam.bsky.social asciiartist.com/ldb/hallowee... Not very horrifying but is what I like to do.

Laura Brown @thatgrrl.bsky.social · 8d

@lovehorrorfam.bsky.social I found your site linked by @theaoryanfiles.bsky.social When I searched for your name (I was curious) this is what came up on top. It works for Halloween and horror. Happy Halloween!

It sucks a lot more when more and more of them are your same age, or not far enough from it.

Laura Brown @thatgrrl.bsky.social · 8d

I remember that woman and that look, but I can't think of who she is and what movie/ show it was from. I prefer a creative story, not showing a lot of killings, or sex. I like old movies where all you see is the door closing, maybe a shadow at most.

so cool to see both how far we've come and how many tricks we still (in some form) use

I like watching old movies for the things people would not dare to show now. Realty is kind of smothered these days.
