The very last user on Twitter
Will proudly declare “I’m no quitter!”
And the self-described hero
(With followers zero)
Will watch it all flush down the shitter.
(Much easier than parodying Ozymandias)

We furrowed our brows!
We tsked! We harrumphed!
We firmly expressed our dismay!
We clutched at our pearls, and

… I left my first comment on Pharyngula. A couple of days later, I repurposed my “Digital Cuttlefish” blog for reposting of comments on the various Science Blogs, so Saturday will be my 8th blog anniversary. Four years on blogspot, four years on FtB, I’ve seen my readership go from single digits to a thousand a day, and back down to maybe half that on the days I have written something. [Read more…]
I wasn’t watching– I just happened to notice. The very next person to comment (whether on this post or on another) will be the 10,000th comment on this blog. [Read more…]
