Texas’ unconstitutional #ageverification law threatens the anonymity, privacy, and security of adult internet users. The #SCOTUS should reject it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/05/eff-urges-supreme-court-reject-texas-speech-chilling-age-verification-law

This made me laugh right out loud. She's such a hateful person I don't even feel bad about it either.

A truly excellent segment on The Daily Show last night about how the Right has become a centralized victim card when it comes to the bullshit of cancel culture.

Look it up. Worth the watch.

Welcome news for consumers, but all profitable businesses should cut their profit margins, if they're taking advantage of consumers, committing #greedflation:

Target plans to slash the price of bread, coffee, diapers... & 1000s of other everyday items, joining other retailers looking to kickstart bus. It's cutting its prices bc "consumers are feeling pressured to make the most of their budget," Exec. VP Gomez. The median rise in monthly HH pending in Apr fell to 4.6%.

After ending national abortion rights, the Christian fascists have been targeting birth control and pornography.

Ben Carson has signaled the next challenge: no-fault divorce.

They'll also go for extramarital and same-sex intimacy as well.

Okay, since I'm on laundry today, a little story.

When hubs and I first got married, we were very much enjoying our little Honeymoon Bubble, and we were being lazy as Hell. We didn't do many chores, but the laundry we really let go. We weren't wearing many clothes at home anyway, so why bother. Anyhow, after weeks we finally reached the swimming suit bottoms situation, and decided it was time. It was loads and loads of laundry that needed done, so I had my husband back the trunk of the car up to a window of the house, then he popped the trunk, and I started tossing laundry out of the window into the trunk. We went to the bank, got about $30 bucks in quarters, and found the emptiest laundry mat we could, and did it all in one fell swoop. We folded it all and loaded it back into the car using those wheeled laundry carts. We never let it get that bad again, and decided it was time to be adults, and do regular chores, but it still makes me laugh imagining what the neighbors and the laundry attendant thought.

Feel free to share your own laundry story, if you feel like it, I love hearing people's stories!

Star Wars Trilogy on VHS.

The best version—where Greedo shoots first. 😉

But my kid has never seen a Star Wars film, and this will be her first time seeing it.

I’ll start with Empire Strikes Back since that’s the best Star Wars film ever.

I can't figure out if mastodon is a high context culture or not. People seem to be expected to give long introductions and do a lot of identity/positionality disclosure, but also an enormous reply guy culture which is defined by low context drive-by. Conversational turn-taking is extremely low compared to other platforms ime, but depth-seeking is high. What an interesting mix.

*obviously, these experiences are all situated within my own network effects, and I'm not well networked here.

I don't know how any vinyl lover could hate on Taylor Swift. Not only has she fully embraced the art form, she has taken it to soaring new heights and also introduced a whole new generation of fans into record collecting.

This package is absolutely beautiful.

The bundles are coming:

• Disney+, Hulu, Max mash up their original content with content from ABC, Fox, TNT, TBS, CNN, Discovery Channel, Food Network, & more

• ESPN, Fox Sports, Discovery are combining forces for a sports channel bundle

So we went from cable bundles, to cord cutting, to paying for internet and more bundles.

This does not feel like a win for consumers. More like a shuffling of the deck.

The oldest entry on IndieWire's list of the best teen dramas was first broadcast in 1979, but the majority of shows that made the cut are from after 2000, when there was a huge boom in the genre. Here's the magazine's ranking of 42 shows. Which do you think came in at No. 1? Take a look at the list after you've voted and tell us if you think they got it right.

"I'm so angry at Biden over Isreal/Gaza that I'm going to help Trump destroy democracy, weaponize the Justice system, send millions to deportation camps, lower the taxes on the wealthy and shift the burden to the middle class, cut Social Security, track and prosecute women having abortions, pardon the people who violently attacked Capitol police, dismantle NATO, help Russia, AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT do even more harm to Palestinians" is a take--it's just a really awful take, IMO.

You guys .... I'm so damn tired.

It’s Trump’s Party Now
Following the installation of Trump’s daughter-in-law, the #RNC has hired a 28-yr-old fmr bikini model as its new spox. Elizabeth Pipko, who has posed for SportsIllustrated, Maxim, & Esquire, a longtime admirer of #Trump, previously worked on his 2016 campaign. “The things he’s been through have been unreal. A lot of people look at what he’s up against every day & see his real character”

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.

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
