Tuesday morning and on the train. Feeling mostly better than yesterday. A lot of walking today, have a meeting downtown. Whee. I am ready for another vacation. Next big time off is soon, though (mid October). I can make it.

Is today the new Rapture day? There have been so many in my lifetime it's hard to keep track. Oh well, the same number of morons will be here tomorrow, unfortunately.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

I got the pop up from Discord, "you've been on do not disturb too long, get off so your friends can talk to you!" Uhm, I can monitor and change my status on my own, thanks. Piss off.

I don't watch broadcast TV any more, so if someone in the DC area does, who advertises on WJLA-7? It's the Sinclair station in DC.

Target: ACQUIRED. This is Tom Foolery and he's available for adoption in South Burlington, VT! He's very sweet and loves people ,but he's prone to overstimulation so he will need a cat-savvy adopter who understands kitty body language. www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Something that would be genuinely helpful would be for anyone doing this in a local market -- say, Austin's KEYE-TV (channel 42) -- to write down a list of companies advertising in that specific market so that people can start calling and writing letters

One hopes that the Great Khan of the Plains will follow soon after.

Nothing, and I mean NO THING, strikes fear in the heart of a TV or radio syndicate like a rattled advertiser pausing their ad buys

Hey, Massachusetts, it may be a Providence station, but WJAR says it is "Providence-New Bedford" and covers Massachusetts. Xfinity in many Massachusetts towns includes the channel as one of the HD NBC stations. Time to start complaining to the Massachusetts advertisers.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Any lawyers want to hazard an opinion on this theory? And if it is actionable, who's on the hook for what could be billions of dollars? I'll bet if it IS actionable, that it's the taxpayers who will be on the hook for it.

Alright, folks, the next Thiccness Thursday YCH is LIVE. < forms.gle/npepoUtTKoVR... >

Assuming we get to have an election in 2028, and we get someone rational and sane in office, their first Executive Order should be to declare all EOs from Jan 20 2025 through Jan 19 2029 to be null and void. Just list all of them by number, clean the slate.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

What a damned wimp. Wheels? There were no wheels at the Crucifixion, jackass.

The president, Emerald Dunning Kruger, and their entire voter base is responsible for the death, nay, murder, of this child.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Now I accept payment of commissions through lava top (Pay Pal). Write to me if you are interested.

Remember kids, this whole "blaming Tylenol" thing is REALLY about blaming women, and trying to narrow their life experiences and choices because good, honest, homemakers have their children naturally and don't experience any pain, and evil careerist bitches use drugs to get through a natural thing.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

This. Vaccines and paracetamol do not cause autism, but also autism is not something that should be eliminated, any more than queerness or lefthandedness or any other harmless minority characteristic.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Folks Wait a few days before declaring victory on Disney.

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

Yes, hi, this is me.

Sadly, I knew I would have to part with some of my characters given the circumstances, so my #giraffe angel is now up for grabs to try to push for some help. Ends in 24h or 8h after last bid!

Whoops

Okay so it's been a little bit but I worked up the courage to try another one of these YCHs again. Just making a preemptive announcement that I'm gon'a try opening these around 7PM EST tonight.

There are so many cases of this. Instance A's owner doesn't like Instance B's owner? Now you can't see your friends over there. Instance C decides they want to block all of mastadon.social cuz fuckit? You accidentally joined the instance run by a legit creep? Good luck figuring that out!

Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Olivia Rodrigo headline new ACLU letter with 400+ signers against government threat to free speech, citing Kimmel. Also signed by comedians including Nimesh Patel, Mary Beth Barone, Sam Morril, Gianmarco Soresi, Anthony Jeselnik, Pete Holmes

Yes, hello.

New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

Doing my part to say no to the "give the bluesky devs and mods a vacation" idea (aka "Blackout"). This ringtail form was one of the last ones Iridium developed, it's still fun nonetheless. (Art is by DizzybyDesign/DBD on FA, I couldn't find a Bluesky for them)

Porn or SFW artists looking at furry art as a ticket to easy money are about five years late (and even five years ago it was not easy money)

Your reminder to delete that period tracking app "Senior executives at leading menstrual-cycle tracking apps said they are “in disbelief” at new UK police guidance that suggests officers could check women’s phones for the apps after an unexpected pregnancy loss" observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Getting kicked out from home after my mom went all in a narcissistic rage Idk where to ask for help ko-fi.com/D1D77VFI

shit ain’t over til it’s over

Open for Comms :3 Form here forms.gle/nhNE46dDP6oL...

Weird how this *remains relevant*

nc.bear-den.org/index.php/ap... This will be open until Thursday this week. If interested please feel free to submit an idea.

My new necklace arrived at least.

So am I allowed to reference the critically acclaimed film classic Alien(1979) on Bluesky or have the goon police decided a franchise built on a metaphor for violent rape and forced impregnation by a creature with a dick for a head is suddenly too much for their modern sensibilities? #bskycensorship

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

Hilarious. My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you. What you do with this information is between you and God.
