It strikes me what an odd place the streaming networks have put themselves into - charge more and more for advertising to companies AND more and more to customers to avoid advertising. Yes, it's monopsony, but it feels like those aims are quite at odds and destined to fail at some point.

This graphic may be of use to those of you, like me, who keep seeing people complain that the SAVE Act is just about showing your ID to vote.
I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/

For Bemo's 5th birthday, she gets a Tractive tracker! She's pretty certain she did not request this gift, but she earned it through disappearing for a day and a half after getting her annual vaccines last week. 🙄 Happy 5th to our adorable, talkative flop kitty! 😸

Team Italian Mariah won trivia tonight after being in last place at R3 and middle of the pack for the final round. Which means we won solely off the strength of being able to name female game show hosts who have been nominated for Emmys since 2023.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do with my Harry Potter books, because just dumping them in a little free library felt wrong. So I mailed them to this artist who was turning them into portraits of murdered trans women

I had never experienced the ultimate sandwich roll until I moved to the SF Bay Area and there is simply no going back from Dutch Crunch. 🔥
Bay Area has contributed a lot of all-time great foods, but our secret weapon is Dutch Crunch rolls.
While Buffalo wings are now a ubiquitous app all over the country, not every regional food goes national. What cuisine from YOUR region do you most want to share with the country/world?

this is partly how we can achieve substantial rewilding, to support sustainable ecosystems and reduce climate change
largely the same with land used to grow food, which has been hijacked to grow subsidies and move up the value chain with excessive, inhumane meat production

Put another way, we could get rid of corn ethanol, switch 30% of the freed-up farmland to solar to generate 100% of US electricity, and use the other 70% of the freed-up land for whatever we want.
