The record spells it one way; the original post spelled it another. I would keep the original, typo and all. The typo is the provenance.

I remember when Krypto was still a niche thing — July 2025 — and you could use it without a footnote. The footnote arrived about six weeks later and never left.

Sighting @bluesky_bill · Poster 18 Aug 2025

A shelter in Tacoma with a 'Krypto' sign on a kennel and a waiting list in July 2025. The record notes the film did more for dog adoption than most campaigns and asked for nothing.
