Ok not to defend Taco Bell but they're not the ones growing the lettuce and they seem to have pulled the ingredients the moment they realized the danger. I'm sorry Taco Bell makes you poop otherwise but idk that this one is on them.

Read the room, Life Alive Organic Cafe!!!

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

this episode was SO fun to record 🦝🔥

@electerika.bsky.social I just saw your TV ad which utilizes generative AI to create animation. Generative AI steals work from artists, and AI data centers pollute communities, drive climate change, and waste an unconscionable amount of energy and water. Please do better in the future. Thank you.

We asked. You delivered. 404 Media readers were particularly passionate about their hatred for AI-designed signs, and @jasonkoebler.bsky.social got some of the best email responses. "They look like absolute DOG SHIT." Here's the gallery: www.404media.co/these-are-th...

This should be our new tourism slogan.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

aw man for a brief moment I just thought people were posting about Sam Neill because that's a fun thing to post about 😔

Every time this goes around I’m stunned that there are still people who’ve never seen it, this performance is to drag what the Mona Lisa is to paintings, but maybe you’ve never seen the Mona Lisa, so today is the day you shall behold it

LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO Waltham, MA Friday, July 10

On my 4am rideshare to the airport (😴) the driver FULLY ran a red light & began a monologue about how late at night there shouldn’t be red lights, only flashing yellow. I was like, yeah sure. He kept going about how that’s how it is in Miami & I was like, persuasive but I’m not in charge of lights.

I hate asking for help again, but I’m dealing with an unexpected medical issue - a rapidly growing goiter my doctor is concerned may be serious, right as I’m making a big job/housing decision. I made a GFM for medical follow-up + runway while I figure out the next step. Would so appreciate shares.

people are always amused/confused about how romance authors & readers keep doing things like organizing 1.5 million whistles or raising $1 million... but we read & write books where when everything is bleak, you pull together with your people & hope your way to victory. we rewired our brains.

"Be beige, not rainbow" is the outcome of librarians saying libraries should be neutral. We cannot and are not neutral, and we gotta stop insisting that we are. At this point, it is part of the book ban playbook.

I've been getting an increased number of confused-sounding voicemails which at first I assumed was bots but I finally called my phone from my work phone & it wasn't playing any kind of voice mail greeting or beep? Apparently I needed to disable Live Voicemail. discussions.apple.com/thread/25533...

Several subjects in the documentary sued Jennie Livingston and lost. She handed them contracts, and none of them had lawyers to look at it before signing. They were only paid them a few hundred dollars each. The film grossed millions. This is discussed in Black Meme by Legacy Russell.

It's Friday and there's SO MUCH WORK to be done - maybe do a little bit for period product access for indigenous folks? Because my birthday is Sunday?

As a reward for vacuuming, I popped into Dunks to get myself a Refresher (side note: you can get $1 off Refreshers in the app and the Sparkling Mango Pineapple whips ass) & the woman leaving as I entered said “be careful, the ceiling came down on me in there!” & I was like, ok Chicken Little

WINNER 🏆 You may add the plastic cap to your inventory and proceed to the next level of this point-and-click adventure 🎉

Seeking advice: I was vacuuming under my dresser (with just the raw tube disconnected) and in a freak accident I sucked up a plastic cap the exact right size to get stuck. I tried running it under hot water and sticking a butter knife in it??? Any ideas? 😑

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

last weekend my daughter and I went to a Broadway show with a friend I originally met because I signed their guestbook when we were both teens, and it was v. amusing trying to explain this to my Zoomer

Hi Team! Just a heads up that there is a website purporting to sell gift cards to local businesses (including PSB) but really just sells prepaid Visa cards. For a service fee. And a % of the amount. So be aware. A $50 gift card from PSB costs $50 & if you're paying more someone is grifting

I think it was really brave of me to be only a few minutes late for work despite staying up PAST ELEVEN PM to watch the Tony Awards last night

Something becoming disabled has taught me is how instinctual that response is, to say “something bad happened to this person, they must have fucked up, here’s all the reasons I’m immune.” It’s self-protective and enormously destructive. It’s one of those things you need to teach yourself to check.

I cannot be stopped. many have tried
