Sharing this one more time for anyone who missed it. We're pretty sure he's going to need surgery on his back left hip, but we're getting confirmation on that hopefully this week. It's all obviously insanely expensive, and we're going to find a way to make it work of course, but any help is massive

A shocking number of people are replying to my call to block Neil Gaiman with variations on "Wait, what did he do?" I guess some folks have been living under a rock, but it's never too late to wise up: archive.is/cr8Me

FYI, Neil Gaiman appears to be lurking around Bsky again All are encouraged to block: bsky.app/profile/neil...

NEW: An Oklahoma family was forced to abandon their home after it filled with slick, black goo, reaching gas concentrations at explosive levels. Despite ample evidence of oil and gas pollution, state regulators say they cannot help.

A coincidence I'm sure that ppl like Jake Tapper, who called Biden being old a "bigger scandal than Watergate," became phenomenally disinterested in whether or not an elderly president was mentally/physically fit for office the second it became about Trump.

Q: Should President Trump have been more committal when it comes to Taiwan? MIKE JOHNSON: I've been really busy the last couple days, so I haven't seen the exact readout on how that discussion went

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Happy Mornday? 🖖

1:50 am: Curzon wants out. As soon as I bring him back in he heads straight o the living room trash. I move it. 2:00 am: Curzon jumps on the rocker to get to the side table and grab a protein bar I had forgotten was there. Now: picking up al the broken glass that he knocked off.

What does he want?

I don’t suppose I have someone here who can help with an Affinity Publisher snafu? I have a text frame that’s locked and I can’t move it. In the layers menu it isn’t locked, but on the page it is. Need to get this frame on this page (and all pages) unlocked so I can moves them. Unlock All does nada

High time I shared the Birb o' Judgement again.

This is an extremely niche question. Anyone have any good material for jail breaks, especially those perpetuated by outside agents, in 18th Century Colonial America especially prior to the American Revolution?

Everyone’s calendars are filling quick but just wanted to give you a heads up

Hear me out. In a society with UBI, compensation can happen in ways more meaningful than mere money. Once nobodys worrying about food and housing, the human experience becomes more than making numbers grow.

Mr Rocky had his first ever T-bone streak today. He said it was the best day of his life. It’s only 3 weeks since he came in so close to death and plenty of people said he should be put to sleep. Unbelievable scenes ❤️

Online discussions about UBI are full of people doubting others’ ability to spend the money “correctly.” But flip the question around and ask them about themselves, and suddenly they trust their own intentions completely. It’s a curious self-versus-others paradox.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gave Amazon an $8 BILLION tax handout last year. Meanwhile, Amazon executives are planning to replace more than 600,000 workers with robots.
