Woke up this morning, had breakfast with my hot boyfriend and a lovely friend, worked on my sex blog for a bit then hopped on a train with my bestie to go hang with his girlfriend in a beautiful seaside town in the sunshine. One of those days where I feel so very lucky to live the life I live, surrounded by the people I love.

Whew, it's been a week! What are we watching, reading, or listening to for fun (or distraction) this weekend?

A new law has come into effect in Florida stating that if you create or sell lab-grown meat, you might face a second-degree misdemeanor charge, which is punishable by up to 60 days in jail or a $500 fine. Several other states including Alabama, Tennessee and Arizona are attempting to follow suit. What's the beef with not-beef? “Florida is fighting back against the global elite’s plan to force the world to eat meat grown in a petri dish or bugs to achieve their authoritarian goals,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a statement. Food and Wine has the full story.

The #BlueskyBridge by Snarfed was soft-launched this week - still very alpha and a lot of things don't work, but posts are starting to come through both ways 🙂

Right now you need to follow the bridge to get bridged (the DM-request mechanism isn't finished yet). I'm tracking the bridged accounts (M->B) here: https://blue.mackuba.eu/directory/fedi

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

RSD and vinyl collecting can be so fun. Picked up The Dead Milkmen - Bucky Fellini yesterday and really scored. They pressed 5k of these in Yellow. Even the hype sticker says yellow.

So you can imagine my surprise when I opened the record and snagged 1 of 99 copies pressed in Orange. And the poster was autographed.

An amazing surprise. Really super cool! 🤘
