Oh my God, watching there’s two candidates debate… I feel so bad for my country right now. On July 4th we shouldn’t wish America Happy Birthday, we should give her a Get-Well-Soon card.

@capital @pandora_parrot - Thank you for voting, despite not wanting to do so.

LB - I actually watched a Try Guys video that had these and even they were like "how is this at all safe?!"

Ah wonk wonk #miniverse are banned and recalled. Probably the same for the Make version of the MiniBrands too. I am kinda sad because I love small shit, but not that sad. These things were like $12 a pop for a handful of tiny plastic pieces and about a tablespoon of UV resin.

It doesn't come as a surprise actually. But unlike the ban on Kinder Egg, this ban is absolutely right to do so. There's practically no safety information on these, and yes several kids have gotten sick as a result.

UV resin is dangerous, especially if you don't have PPE, which at minimum is an n95 or equivalent, and ESPECIALLY gloves. You can definitely get nasty allergies this way, and in no way should you breathe the fumes while it cures.

That's not including the UV lights required, which are on their own a problem in the hands of children. Miniverse tells you to put them outside, but MiniBrands straight up includes a handheld UV lamp.

So yeah that's sad but y'all should know about it, especially if you have kids.

Here's the relevant statement with specific information: cpsc.gov/Recalls/2024/MGA-Ente

[Thoughts Before Bed]

Today was the first day in a long LONG time I feel like I've had time to relax. It's funny how just two minor unrelated events backed my life up for weeks, but at least today I could stop and relax for a while.

Back to the grind tomorrow.

Before Mastodon lets out for summer make sure to sign everyone’s yearbooks.

@Alairthephoenix - Oh, yeah. Alphas arent working either so I have multiple faces. O_o

So, I'm so close to locking this down, but something is happening in August. And it's gonna be a lot of fun: youtube.com/watch?v=yM25-lz1Ym

Help me, Doctor Internet!

I'm remembering an Apple II (or Apple IIe) game I played in second grade, which would be about 1982) that was one of those text adventures that was text on the bottom and very pixelated art on the top. It took place in the old west.

My brain is saying it's called "Serpentine" but all the research I've done says that's a completely different game, but was out around the time of that game.

Any ideas?

Some dirty pool in the mail today. An official looking letter telling me that I needed to reup my car's registration (which I need to), and renegotiate my insurance...

But it's NOT insurance. It's an extended warranty, which they mention about four paragraphs in. And at the very bottom in tiny print buried in the business stuff is "this is an advertisement."

Bad form, guys, bad form.

Atari 800XL users.

I have an Atari 800XL gifted to me along with a flash cart. I've never tested it, or used it, because I never actually HAD an 800XL. What games/apps should I get to put it through some tests to make sure it's fully functioning?

The Second Life mobile app has just gone live. If you're having issues finding it, here's the link. I've tried it, and the best way I've described it is that it's a Nintendo DS version of a Wii game. It's all there, just...a little wierd looking: play.google.com/store/apps/det

Texas Woman Accused Of Trying To Drown Muslim Child In Racist Attack By Pocharapon Neammanee

“We are American citizens, originally from Palestine, and I don’t know where to go to feel safe with my kids," the 3-year-old's mother said.

“We are seeing a new level of bigotry here where a person deeply believes they get to decide, based on religion, spoken language, and country of origin, whose kids deserve to stay alive and whose don’t,” Zayan said.
