Rupert Murdoch gave us Donald Trump and his fascist putsch. So the #MurdochJournal being upset at his damage to the American economy is at least a compensatory dose of Schadenfreude. You asked for it, assholes.

After nearly drowning in an alphabet soup of anti-spam acronyms whilst trying to explain to a customer why email forwarding doesn't work, Kelduum decided to let off steam on our blog. https://www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/01/29/the-death-of-email-forwarding/

I've just realised what this has been reminding me of; there's a minor Simpsons character who looks like this, I swear.
