With everything going on in the world right now, it's important that we not lose each other.

I had a run-in with the pro-life tradcaths and Young Republicans a decade and a half ago in college...they were a bit or two short of a byte back then too. Now they're down a least a nybble.

Places were smaller, there was some hope of competent moderation and decent culture.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

I'll keep an eye out.

It mixes well, tastes pretty decent, and doesn't have a load of sugar in it. It does require a run all the way to Krieger's, though. No one else has it...)

The more whey-heavy version tastes sickly. (Lactase seems to be something I'm still good at. Somehow.)

Just looked at the ingredient list, I think it’s whey, soy, pea, with a bit of spirulina.

I’m hoping that’s not the case, I use it a few times a week when I want something ”light, but nourishing” alongside the fruit and vegetables.

I think if you're caught selling AI nonsense at any con, but specifically a FURRY con, where supporting our artisans is the lifeblood and soul of the community, you should be banned for like...two years. Do it twice? Forever.

Heinous. Do not bring that garbage into the space.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

Looks like it's partly pea protein as well, so...I guess that's it for that.

Using magic for inflating monster balloons is great. Safe, fast, nonflammable, just the right amount of lift, even glows a bit.

...except for that 1/64 chance of it going haywire.

Not done yet, but it's something.

A drawing of an inflatable dire bat, suspended under a cluster of spooky printed chloroprene balloons. Something tells you that the bat and balloons are more full than they should be. Oops.

If the media is going to keep pushing their crime & inefficiency narrative on public transit then agencies should fight back.

Car dominance is personally and societally unpleasant, transit is by-and-large convenient, affordable, and socially beneficial. No more needless concessions to big auto.

BART @bart.gov · 15h

Take transit.

It’s safer, better for the environment and it will support our ability to fund service and make improvements.

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.

It's getting to the point that I don't even want to use most apps because of how much unlabeled AI trash is all over everything. It's almost like the whole point of it is to trick or decieve folks.
I guess I'm getting more time back for other things, so there's that.

I woke up with a WTF this morning. I dreamt that I was flying on Japan Air and they were trying to upsell me to a first class "Weebecutive" experience, including a full line of Kewpie based mayo cosmetics and perfumes in the complimentary traveler comfort bag.

I am scared to check if this is real.

【新キャラ】マリーノ　ドラードおよびモラードの弟となるドラゴン。身長7.3mと姉たちより高い身長を持ち、頭脳や腕力も上回るが、控えめな性格を持ちこれまでも目立った戦闘経験がないため実力の割にそこまでの強者オーラが無い。ドラード城ではなく少し下った城下町に住み城の政治には一切関わらずに一般市民として暮らすが、パートナーでよく一緒に居る車ドラゴンのスクラーレルを姉に目を付けられよくズッフィを連れて一緒に遊びに出かけたりしている。あまり使用した場面を目撃されたことは無いが一応ドラードと同じ水使いらしい。　#ドラード城キャラ図鑑
