I deeply appreciate that within 30 seconds of making a post that was 50% meows, a trans catgirl has favourited it. Is she a bot, is she a terminally online cat, is it a coincidence, I do not care; it was magical.

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier
"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.
I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

🌸 Happy birthday, Alex and Imogen Motherlover! 🌸
I'm so excited - not for the end of seven years of work, but the beginning of a new chapter of it being out in the world in physical form. And I'm so grateful, both for the chance to make it and for the support of everyone along the way.

I'm very relieved Poilievre didn't win, but it is so, so weird seeing US / UK peeps celebrating this on Canada's behalf as a win for the left. We just elected a centrist banker and our actual-left party was crushed and may lose official status. This is a move to the right for us, by the numbers.

Pierre Poilievre sounds like if roofies had a podcast.
OKAY SERIOUSLY THOUGH Women of Canada: what is it about Pierre Poilievre's voice that makes me wish I didn't understand English?
Thank you for watching and reporting, so I could avoid hearing PP’s voice.

Another week until I move in, so I can replace the flooring with mall-grade vinyl planks to stand up to both my wheelchair (turning can apply some serious torque) and the cats. Greg’s sad that I’m removing the plush carpet from his bedroom, but not quite sad enough to volunteer to clean up cat puke.

The new apartment has not one but TWO working elevators, which was the motivation to move, since the one elevator at my old building was getting to the age where it was zero working elevators a little too often. I have a taste for that decadent luxury “ability to leave the house,” you see.
