    Thanks for all the birthday wishes! If you want to help celebrate my birthday, you can:

    1. Tell me your favorite thing about my cat Fishy. Yes, I will read all of your comments to him. English is not his first language, but I believe he has a basic understanding of most of the words.
    2. Subscribe to my Patreon so I can continue to write all the dumb silly things that I write.

    I may create Low Quality Facts, but I am very grateful for all of my high quality friends here.

    If things were reversed and it was the Rs who needed to raise the debt ceiling, they'd already be accepting trillion dollar coins in the vending machines at the Capitol by now.

    A bright supernova just popped off in nearby galaxy M101! Not naked-eye bright, but should be visible through a decent amateur telescope.
    M101 is about 21 million light years away, so this signal has been on its way to Earth for a looong time.

    In case you missed it...

    Mastodon.social and mstdn.social are totally different servers.

    They are owned and run by totally different people.

    Mastodon.social is owned by @Gargron

    Mstdn.social is owned by @stux

    They just have similar-looking names, that's all.

    @feditips @Gargron @stux As a dyslexic person... thank you 🙏

    The enforcement of copyright law is really simple.

    If you were a kid who used Napster in the early 2000s to download the latest album by The Offspring or Destiny's Child, because you couldn't afford the CD, then you need to go to court! And potentially face criminal sanctions or punitive damages to the RIAA for each song you download, because you're an evil pirate! You wouldn't steal a car! Creators must be paid!

    If you created educational videos on YouTube in the 2010s, and featured a video or audio clip, then even if it's fair use, and even if it's used to make a legitimate point, you're getting demonetised. That's assuming your videos don't disappear or get shadow banned or your account isn't shut entirely. Oh, and good luck finding your way through YouTube's convoluted DMCA process! All creators are equal in deserving pay, but some are more equal than others!

    And if you're a corporation with a market capitalisation of US$1.5 trillion (Google/Alphabet) or US$2.3 billion (Microsoft), then you can freely use everyone's intellectual property to train your generative AI bots. Suddenly creators don't deserve to be paid a cent.

    Apparently, an individual downloading a single file is like stealing a car. But a trillion-dollar corporation stealing every car is just good business.

    Being a mom in the US is dangerous—and wildly expensive:

    More new mothers die in the US than in any other rich country. Several times over. The US has a maternal mortality crisis. ...

    Giving birth in the US is insanely expensive ...

    America remains one of exactly two countries that don’t mandate maternity leave ...

    A lack of accessible healthcare

    The cost of childcare in America is astounding. ...

    Some years ago I had a cherry blossom tree I planted in my backyard - this was based on one of my photos of it one spring. Still makes me smile.

    Every study ever: Overworked employees are less productive. Employees who work from home are just as productive as employees who work in the office. The evidence is indisputable.

    Managers: I see. But I have a hunch that the complete opposite is true.
