An awesome 🧵, especially w/ current fuckery.

Also recommending 4 cookbooks:

* THE POORCRAFT COOKBOOK by Iron Circus Comics
* GOOD AND CHEAP by Leanne Brown

Nab from library or get online PDFs if you can.

Standing There - Gator Days
Standing There - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Olivia is standing innocently near her big sister, Polly, with a grin plastered on her face. Polly is just looking at something on her phone and not paying much attention to her little sister. Panel 2 Polly looks back and notices Olivia standing next to her smiling. She chooses to try to ignore her. Olivia's grin grows wider now that she has been noticed. Panel 3 Polly tries to focus on her phone. Olivia continues to stand there obnoxiously. Her smile reaches unforetold levels of brattyness. Panel 4 Olivia has Polly wrapped around her finger. She utters the magic phrase. Olivia: I'm not doing anything. Polly: I KNOW!

We just launched Rx Inspector, a first-of-its-kind tool that provides answers to what the FDA won’t tell you: where your generic drugs are coming from and the track records of the facilities that made them.

Join us on Jan. 14 at 4 p.m. ET for a live demo of the app's features.

RSVP ⤵️
ProPublica Event - How to Use Our Rx Inspector News App
Join our reporters as they show users how to track the manufacturing of generic prescription drugs.

Thanks to @litbowl.bsky.social for sharing this template and contact site for state AGs. Call your AGs and tell them to prosecute X immediately! bsky.app/profile/litb...

Here is a template letter, with alt text for copy-pasting, to send to your state AG, or tweak to send to your reps, etc. It will take two minutes. Find their contact here: www.naag.org/find-my-ag/
Dear [AG], I'm curious what [State] is doing to combat this pervasive sexual harassment and abuse of primarily women and children: https://defector.com/whos-responsible-for-elon-musks-idiot-chatbot-producing-on-demand-child-sexual-abuse-material https://futurism.com/future-society/grok-violence-women The industrial-scale generation and distribution of revenge porn and CSAM on Twitter/X is blatantly criminal by all involved, and in violation of both state and federal law. I hope to see serious charges announced against Elon, Twitter/X management, Grok developers, and any individual users publicly sharing images of [State] residents. Anything less is tacit approval to continue this monstrous, illegal spree.

Cyrus of the mysteriously absent second name, a swashbuckling warlock from my dnd game. Just messing around with his look and design, he's a celtic inspired boy with some connection to a deity of luck, which the dice heard and said 'bet'. Child of the clutch Nat 20 😆

#dnd #dndoc #dndart #ttrpg
Cyrus is a light green-skinned tiefling adjacent character with deep red-brown hair and golden eyes. He has variant horn designs, gold under a layer of cracked dirt; a green fade to brown with carvings of celtic designs. Not pictured, his tail, which he absolutely has and i've forgotten to include. Classic.

Monster for me. That entire show slowly burned brighter and higher and the absolute blaze of weight in the final episode, weight of the moment of climax landed so hard. I still get hairs standing on end thinking about that scene and the final scene.

So @tobymorton.bsky.social is a national treasure and Hilton is fucking up royally with this nonsense. www.hiltonice.com

PSA: twitter, X, is doing new terms of service that basically make it so that any comtent you share on there including DMs and photos is theirs and they can use it for "any purpose" including commercial use.

So, if you have a page you’ve left up and don’t want them there’s time to act 1/

Microsoft renaming MS Office to Copilot 365 is a lot less about trying to force people to accept shitty AI tools and more just a really dumb way for MS to show their investors “look how many users Copilot has” when really it’s just people using Excel and Word.

AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association) has partnered with Human Rights First to create the Ready Now! App. The app is designed to alert the people in your life if you are detained or kidnapped. It also included emergency planning and connection to legal support should you need it.

This is fake, gang. Though I don't blame people for being pissed, because it's the sort of AI bullshit that will likely be foisted off on us sooner than later.

Advances feel so huge when you first hear them out, but omg they dont last long. And this is like the ideal scenario. You never know when suddenly some life shit might happen and you have a huge bill to pay and oops there goes all the money you had to get you through the next 6 months. Good luck
