Hey, you need to get off of TikTok TODAY.

The new terms of service provides allowances to track religious beliefs, citizenship status, trans and nonbinary identities, etc.

Get out. Get off. Never go back.

Look for the helpers.
Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul

Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.

So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

I turned this off *without* losing my sorted inboxes by doing the following:

Gmail > Settings > General > Google Workspace Smart Features, click "Manage Workspace smart feature settings"

Toggle off "Smart Features in Google Workspace", "Smart features in other Google products", and hit save

Sad realization this year when I got out my Christmas cds that I literally have nothing able to play them. Not even my Xbox will, which is astounding to me.
The kids are correct on this one. Physical media is so important to have and preserve. I’ve become BIG into buying CDs lately and for good reason because I’m tired of depending on terrible apps for music, etc. it’s sadly going to be harder in the coming years probs my to buy DVDS.
Our modern subscription hellhole is aggressively anti-ownership and the kids know it

it is just profoundly undignified to talk about writing like this. you are a human being. your ability to express your experiences through the miracle of language is unique in creation. why in God’s name are you trying to offload that to the plagiarism box and expect everyone to be impressed?

Shall we talk about ebooks?

It might be a bit of a weird thing for a physical bookshop to do, but bear with me. There's a reason.

Take a seat for a short thread. 1/?

Never fails. Covid vaccine yesterday; woke up in the middle of the night shivering with fever and then so hot after it broke that I couldn’t get comfortable enough to sleep. Now just tired and mildly achy. I know it’s a good thing to get every year, I just wish I didn’t have to go through this 🥵

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
