A question for our American friends. Do you actually FEEL like celebrating July 4th this year, 250th or not?

More bad news for Meta is good news for us “Meta is a cause of and has substantially contributed to a public nuisance in New Mexico and is required to abate that public nuisance.” He said the evidence shows “New Mexico is experiencing a youth mental health crisis” with increased rates of suicide and eating disorders." #Meta #FacebookIsEvilhttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/08/meta-ordered-to-pay-567m-to-treat-youth-mental-health-problems-it-helped-create/

@Tooden @kibcol1049 I'm still convinced it's the tech industry's version of big oil.

@PizzaDemon @PastaThief @CursedSilicon @agnes Exactly. Things weighed a ton.

@senanthic 🫂

@kinsale42 @senanthic That's a first for me. 2 of my friends transitioned MTF so... 🤷‍♂️ Always happy to learn a new, clever thing.

@Binder I Sierra real funny one, huh?

@bazurk Thankfully, I went with Kobo because I live in Canada.

@deankirkman@mastodon.social My experience was a realization, only after being put in an impossible situation. I was already hard of hearing and I had believed that if my employer would just provide me with written documentation, I could do my job. They said "No we don't have the time to do that or the bodies for compliance." Another co-worker implied that "this job isn't for everybody & you should probably go find something else to do." This went unresolved for over a year. Then COVID hit with mandatory masking, so I couldn't rely on lip-reading anymore. So I had a mental breakdown. I developed anxiety and took SSRIs. I took an online quiz that spelled it out to me finally, I could be autistic, "on the spectrum" at age 51. When I look at my life through that lens, so much makes sense at last. I feel more empowered now, because now I can take advantage of it, instead of hiding.

@QueenOfCoffee@beige.party That's the Korean restaurant way of serving things.

@TheEddieShow I'm so relieved to hear that.

@PastaThief @CursedSilicon Came here to say this. He looks like he's grimacing enough. Ah Compaq you stupid bastards, you killed us with your CRT monstrosity.

It has recently dawned on me, that my Morning Posts are basically me doing #ThreeGoodThings in reverse. Guess I never could do anything "right". 😉 #MorningPost

This live version is better than what's on the album.

This butcher reminds me of James Corden. #Monsterdon

@djlink vinyl cuts were the worst, they wouldn't understand anyway.

@KatyElphinstone While growing up, much of that trauma I ascribed as being "hearing impaired" . I did not have the vocabulary back then, to articulate that which I know now. Thank you for your insightful post.
