For a while I've had a habit of reading McDonalds' product names as porn star/pornbot names. Chicken Big Mac, Jaffa Cakes McFlurry, Oreo Blizzard, Peppermint Milkshake...

My synagogue's warm clothing drive is back and better than ever! This drive puts warm clothing directly into the hands of the 200+ food-insecure families who come to our weekly food bank.

I just checked and a few items on our wishlist are Prime Big Deals today!!! bit.ly/bundled25

Today's research rabbit-hole: Jewish humanitarian organizations during World War II. Must stick to point of research and not go off into all the fascinating stories.

Yes, me too. And I'm also trying (and I think succeeding) to focus my time on private-facing social media where I'm talking with friends rather than scrolling hot takes on whatever the latest political scandal is.

I made a plan to cut down my social media use and, while it doesn’t feel like it’s working, I have more than doubled the number of books I read in a year. So I think it must be!

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Roberta Cowell (1918 - 2011) was a fighter pilot during the Second World War.

She was the first known British trans woman to undergo gender-affirming surgery in 1951.

TRANS WILL WIN.

AI at its peak.
SuperVoc Robot SV7 from Doctor Who: The Robots of Death. It is a stylised art-deco robot with silver hair and clothing and a gold face with silver elements, sort of like a cross between the Maria Robot and the Terracotta Warriors.

As well as the below roles, my favourite obscure John Woodvine was a brief role in Shameless, where he plays Frank Gallagher's father and in one episode explains a lot about the family's dysfunction.

Sad news about John Woodvine
Great in many of my favourite things – Doctor Who, An American Werewolf in London, The Tripods…
Best (if obscure) performance: holding together a fascist Britain in 1987’s Knights of God until it and he fall apart. Utterly compelling.
“Victory—or death!” The Marshal declaims in front of the Eagle of Atrios (Doctor Who – The Armageddon Factor), fascist black and red uniform and symbols John Woodvine as Mordrin, Prior and ruler of the Knights of God, fascist black and red uniform and symbols

I feel much the same way. Never been a big fan of "ask forgiveness, not permission" because the damage is already done and it can't be undone.

This Anthropic settlement case…fellow authors, are any of you feeling rage? I have 12 books listed and money (I don’t CARE how many thousands, even millions) is NOT adequate compensation. What was stolen & used without my permission is priceless! Where is the option to scrub my work from AI?!

I usually assume that if they don't leave a message, don't text or don't try to get in touch via another medium, it's got to be spam. Anyone I can think of who'd be wanting to call me would have at least one other way to get in contact.
