Just got it again in the next ad break!!! It looks like the tools are there to solve this?!? Why aren't they being used?

Can anyone recommend some good ad blockers for Android and iOS?

This scam is showing up everywhere. It’s a deepfake of Canada's PM Carney.
This BS is why people want to use ad blockers. If #Google / #YouTube can’t effectively block scam ads, why should we be required to watch them?

The #Enshitification continues.

I've sent some copies of The Blood of Crows and The Blood of Queens to the wonderful @palmerpickering.bsky.social to include on the freebies table just inside the doors of Worldcon in Seattle this weekend.

Swing by and pick up some good books (there's more than just mine there!).

Zim and GIR hadv their one year weigh in and a nail trim at the vet. I think it went well...

My eldest child's cat, Nugget, keeps eating everyone's houseplants.

He's getting high on the spider plants. Does anyone know of a good D.A.R.E program for cats?

Zim and GIR got fixed today. The vet only had one onesie in the right size, and they put it on Zim because she had an umbilical hernia removed as well. So, we improvised...

Found a nice app called @openvibe.social that integrates with @bsky.app, #Threads, and #Mastodon, and it allows me to cross-post! It’s available on Android and iOS!

So, here’s some kittens!

2 books in a stack. The top book is The Blood of Queens, by Alex C Pierce. The cover features a scene at night with a young man crouching protectively over a young woman in a yellow kerchief while buildings around them burn. The text "Not for Resale" is in a band across the book. The bottom book is The Blood of Crows which has been a semi finalist in multiple competitions. You should really read or listen to it!

What happens when you take a thief and a con-man, that everyone thinks is a monster, and make him captain of the Queen's personal bodyguard?

Gossip, treachery, and paperwork... So much paperwork.

I'm having a productive day so far.
An SMS thread from an unknown sender. Sender: Hey bro I sent it My response: Perfect! And you got the lye so we can clean up the leftovers? Sender sends a link to an electronic funds transfer My response: Dude, I can't transfer the money until they pay for your delivery. Do you have their response yet? Did they send you the pictures?
