Social Media in a Nutshell:
Facebook: That family party where everyone is having a good time, but there's that occasional relative who says something inappropriate every so often.
Twitter: This is the bad place. We do not speak of it.
Tumblr: No matter how much you try, you are a bad person and you should feel bad.
Mastodon: See Tumblr, but the Linux help is better.
BlueSky: That small bar you found when it opened, but now it's getting popular and youre not sure if you like it as much.
Threads: It's a lot like Woodstock '99 in that it's 95% corporate accounts and the occasional Twitter refugee.
Post: This feels like a news aggregator and my shitposts don't belong here.
Instgram: Facebook with 90% less politics.
Livejournal: My lonely divorced grandpa.
Dreamwidth: My lonely divorced grandma.
E3 Ends Two-Decade Run Video Game Industry’s Biggest Convention – The Hollywood Reporter

When the invasion from the fourth dimension came, it had unexpected benefits. The new overlords were surprisingly mild. They only wanted the Earth for Qling, a substance we neither understood nor needed. They filled enormous eye-warping four dimensional tankers with a cargo we couldn’t even perceive, then left us in peace. A few stayed, having found human friends and even lovers.
My neighbour is one such. We met when xe returned my lost cat. “I don’t know how she keeps getting out”, I said, “all the doors and windows are shut”.
“What about that gap there?”
“Where?”
“Oh of course, it’s invisible in three dimensions. Here let me close it up.”
The cat is still furious about this.
What the Texas Supreme Court ruled -- admitted, actually -- is that exceptions to abortion bans are fake. They're not real and they will never be accepted.
There exists no circumstances under which a woman will be allowed to legally have an abortion in Texas and other such jurisdictions because the point is to force pregnancies and to punish and kill women who do not produce a viable birth for whatever reason.
The prescription you fill today, while it's still legal, could conceivably be used against you tomorrow, after trans treatments are criminalized.
And, uh, don't expect your pharmacist to keep those records private. According to a Washington Post report, they're handing over patient data willy-nilly. #trans #news #health #healthcare

Since I missed #MoodMusicMonday yesterday, let's do #TelevisionTunesTuesday! (yes I just made that up)
Pick any song from a TV show or anime that features a cat! The song doesn't have to involve a cat, as long as the show does in some way.
We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Kate Cox, though Texans with complicated pregnancies still face harrowing ordeals. If the next name the nation learns in connection with Texas abortion bans isn’t a dead woman’s, it will be despite the GOP's best efforts.
