And a bit more detail -- that's the command that sets the Hi-I-visited-this-LJ-subdomain cookie, and I thiiink the "thanks for signing in" is the one that's set on login. "setdomsess" is short for "set domain session". The ?dest= bit looks like you were headed to your friends page.
I have hazy memories of the LJ volunteer cohort being asked for LJ-related haiku once upon a time; I think it may have been after one of the big security breeches, where a bunch of asshole punks stole a bunch of people's session cookies and used that to compromise shit. (Things have since been upgraded to make that much fucking harder and/or impossible to do; LJ is not bad at security.)
