Give me plain text; I can (sometimes) understand that.

Wouldn't it spoil the joke to give a textual representation
of a photo meme?

Ok, if you must; please give a link to a plain picture (jpeg for
preference) and a Clue why I should click on an otherwise raw link.

Sorry, that's not a plain jpg; Imgur hijacks the reference to run some scripting (I guess), blank screen here (scripts off).

But thanks for trying.

Correct....their web page comes up, with pic shown.

Bluesky...their URL ending suggests a jpeg https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/.....@jpeg

All I see here is a pic, with black background. <https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:4lx6nur5wstwoc4wtgj56kyu/bafkreic7kl2qrpq6hxgfaetsqh4h4pn2x3nbhf773c4b5aydvow3xjd3nm@jpeg>

Even may back in the days of dial-up people thought it was kewl to
substitute a 10K image of a 5-letter word for the requisite 5 bytes.

(Did I get that wrong? ah well)

Nah.

I get:

If you're seeing this message, that means JavaScript has been
disabled on your browser, please enable JS to make Imgur work.

Ho hum.

BTW, K-M, I see you have a "GNU: Terry Pratchett" NNTP header. You
might adjust that to:

X-Clacks-Overhead: 4GH GNU Terry Pratchett

where "X-..." marks a non-standard header. And where the prepended
"4GH" is adopted from Brunner's "Shockwave Rider" to update the Clacks
code in the digital era. (Well, there is no misc.news.clacks.discuss
is there?)
