@elisse this is news I can use. Been waffling on trying them out forever.

Wow. WaPo digs into why the South has the lowest credit scores in the country (adding to individual consumers' borrowing costs, freezing then out of credit at all). The answer: Medical debt. Because the South didn't expand Medicaid.

The cat just went over to the HomePod mini on my desk, meowed at it, and Siri said "sure here is some music for you" and the cat perched on the window sill listening to Garbage and Elliott Smith.

I just want to know how long this has been going on.

Goddamned nerds stop asking be about the D&D open license thing. I don’t know about open licenses and also I am interested in REAL goddamn nerd stuff like whether there need to be more items in 5e that increase your spell DC because the vampires kept saving against my Sunbeam last night.

#QElon keeps pushing this account, “The Rabbit Hole” so I went to look at their Substack. You may be shocked to learn that the entire thing is about protecting white people from racism.

@Sivation I’m so used to bulging sacks of gold with 10G!

This is gross. #Adobe seems to have opted everyone into a process that automatically ingests images into their machine learning system. You have to opt-out and you can't do that through the apps.

Here's how you can. Go to:

Then, turn off the "Content analysis" option.

If you're not familiar with #DarkPatterns this is one.

Added some new Mastodon monitoring infrastructure for discuss.systems.

Sure, every good #MastoAdmin has a cool Grafana dashboard, but we're going a bit more old school here...

For scale, Congress' appropriation allocates as much in direct lethal aid assistance to #Ukraine for the whole of 2023 as Elon Musk lost in personal wealth on *checks notes* Tuesday.

@Vosskah @rezznul @ampersine the ONLY drink I could find was lemon-flavored Vitamin Water and honestly it hasn’t been half bad. I got six bottles of the clear stuff at a gas station so tooth brushing is back to the boring way.

@ampersine It was the Carriage Crissing one but Wolfchase is also, astonishingly, still open. I highly recommend Loft’s seasonal sweaters since you’re going anyway.

Last RT: I was legit in a Barnes & Noble today!

This is a great story of how Barnes & Noble’s new CEO who was hired in 2019 has turned around the company. Sales are up, it opened 16 stores this year and plans to open more next year.

The secret is the CEO really likes books and readers. So he stopped doing deals with publishers to promote their latest books & NYT best sellers and encouraged individual stores to promote books they found most interesting.

So simple yet…

Not only have my faucets dwindled to “if that was your pee stream, you’d need to get your prostate checked” flow levels, now there are little white flecks of… *something*… bobbing around in there.

I ain’t drinking that, no matter how long it boils.

If I had some tubing, I might try building a little still for entertainment value, but it looks like it’ll a jittery night of drinking nothing but Kroger brand Diet Dew. #memphis

@ampersine I’m not drinking it at all, and have been brushing my teeth with Diet Coke rinses. #NotEvenJoking

@ampersine I am so unclean.

There’s no time to explain, get in the pea
