Thread but also just don't tell Paypal anything. No "what is this for" you both know what it's for. If you send a friend some money for dinner or something and you say "for friday night", even odds they get banned as a sex worker.
PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you.

My mums cats still need homes, they also need a foster on the central coast in the meantime. If anyone can help at all, even just asking around, please do 🙏

This is the last thing I can do for her, and it would mean everything if I can just make sure they’re okay 🙏
Phoebe and Steve. Please ask around if you can, I know it’s a big ask but I’m desperate to find them a good home

I hate the way Apple Music just goes ahead and adds songs to your favorite playlists. This drives me nuts. Is there anyway to stop the bastards doing this?

I can't wait for you all to read the Diary comics when they are ready to drop! Aside from just slice of life stories they are personal stories about living with autism and daily struggles just existing.

you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ.

Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising.

He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace.

What more do people need to see?

HEY FRIENDS

For @thepointau.bsky.social, I decided to do the unthinkable and just actually check whether Australia's gas exports are being a magical climate solution and displacing shittonnes of Asian coal

You know what I found, but you will enjoy me saying it:

#Victorians! Our State Library is being trashed by a series of executives with no experience or understanding of public collections. Many hired as 'temps' without full process, who then caused scandals & exodus of specialist & librarian staff: a full wreck looms. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
State Library proposes major cuts to staff and services
The library plans halve the number of reference librarians it employs and reduce the number of computers available for public use in a move that has outraged staff.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

The reason this is so over the top is that the people with the least character get very cross when it’s made clear they need to be ashamed of themselves.

There is a frog in Madagascar called the False Tomato Frog. You might think it's called for being a small frog that looks like a tomato when it's not. No, you see it's because it's a small frog that looks like a Tomato Frog (which is a small frog that looks like a tomato when it's not) when it's not

The earliest known named cat is from a damaged relief in an Egyptian tomb from ~1500 BCE.
The cat's name was "Nedjem" or "Nojem," which means "Sweetie." 😻

Out there UK folkie John Martyn got obsessed with dub and befriended Lee Scratch Perry … who inspired him to record One World on guitar amps floating a 1/2 mile offshore in a lake. Lapping water and late night goose honks can be heard throughout but maybe to best effect on the magical “Small Hours.”

The "liver, fava beans and a nice chianti" line in Silence Of The Lambs is a little joke for psychiatrists in the audience - those foods cannot be consumed with the meds (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) that Lecter is supposed to be taking.

New Mexico is the only state to have a “state smell”

A bunch of grade school kids said that roasting green chile should be our state smell so their teacher had them write our state Congress and in a shocking display they all came together, wrote the bill, and passed it in a matter of weeks

The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.
