you fucking guessed it! "Last year, Philz was purchased by private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co., which also owns Popeyes Chicken and El Pollo Loco, for a reported $145 million, according to Mission Local, though the company did not provide details of the deal."
My apartment building going up in flames.
Even though I never went there until the 2000s and hated working there: Fry's Electronics, when they were still in that "okay" phase of existence.
Anything but purple flavor. If I had to pick just one: pink (strawberry)
SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord
The late great Bob McKnight's artwork is at risk of being seized and destroyed if something isn't done about it. His dearest friend and mentee Rob Griggs has set up a GoFundMe to help save his property, including his extensive art archives. Bob LOVED animation and it's history, help preserve it!
As a general reminder, I'll never send out ZIP files, executables, or direct download links.
And always double-check: It's easy to look at these messages and go "obviously a scam, I'd never fall for that" but it can happen faster than you think, if you're caught in a moment with your guard down
Tonight's gonna be a bit of a weird stream! I'm not going to be Faust, but rather Fairfax Fawkes, my actual fursona.
Will be doing a good chunk of Retro Rewind with maybe some XIV later.
I do eventually want to get a side channel up for streaming as my fursona, and this is sort of a test for that.
I'm of the opinion that every company needs a "staff pervert" - not to harass people or make them uncomfortable, but if you show them an ad or a product box and they snicker, you need to redo it.
A box of Husky contractor clean-up bags. It depicts two hands gripping and stretching one of the bags, evoking a particular meme.
Sign of a dirty mind: looking at this product image and wanting to print a bunch of ring stickers and go apply them to the boxes...

Also! Furries! Mark your calendars because April 4th is World Rat Day!

They made me watch them eat!
So there's now an "anti-anti-AI" list/blocklist on here showing people who subscribe to genAI blocklists or are notably anti-genAI. Sadly, I can only be included once on it.

Panel 1: A park. A donut truck. A red-haired white woman sitting inside the donut truck, looking relaxed. The truck is Rolling Donuts, and there are three donuts painted under the worker window, a menu with prices, text near the bottom of the truck that reads "Tastes like magic!", a big Rolling Donuts logo with donuts for "O"s (clever!) and a message that says No Trans Fats! Only there's a tiny, near-illegible "or" between "trans" and "fats", because we all know how J.K. Rowling do. Another white lady, this one blonde in t-shirt and jeans, walks up with a brown puppy on a leash. "Oh," she says, "Rolling Donuts!" Panel 2: The blonde lady walks up to the woman in the truck window, smiling. "We used to have these all the time when I was a kid! I loved them! Panel 3: The woman in the truck smiles. "Wonderful," she replies. "And now, as a bonus, $2 from every donut goes towards killing dogs!" Panel 4: The truck lady's hand motion towards a a sign, which reads "Dogs are just fake wolves! I hate them SO much! Thank you for your support in their eradication!" Panel 5: The blonde woman holds a hand to her mouth, shocked. "Killing?" she says. The truck lady smiles, happy. "Yup!" Panel 6: The blonde lady turns to face her dog, stricken. Panel 7: The dog looks up, wagging his tail and panting. Panel 8: The dog, realizing what is coming, lowers his tail and puts his tongue back in his mouth. Panel 9: The lady in the truck is holding 6 dozen donuts, in neon pink and blue and the Rolling Donut logo, with text across their sides that reads "We hate dogs!" The blonde woman is looking back at her dogs, guilt on her face. "...but they're just SO yummy!" she says! Sad trombone goes here. That's my comic!
This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks.
Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.
I'm the roomie.
For context: Boss went to a romance and erotica writers convention as we working in indie publishing.
ADJACENT THINGS WERE HAPPENING IN THE HOTEL.
Best was him being all pep in his step and going "Did you know I'm what they call 'Vanilla"?!"
I have never held my tongue like that.
If you donโt have 2FA active on Bluesky, turn it on NOW.
Thereโs an ongoing attack taking over accounts and spamming with links, which seems to add an โapp passwordโ for access externally. Already had one friendโs account compromised and Iโm seeing others.
Could use some OBS help for audio.
It randomly set anything I have as Monitor AND Output to only broadcast the sound when I mute it for myself.
Like it's showing signal, but chat can't hear it, unless I turn off my own ability to hear it, then it broadcasts.

I don't know why I'm surprised that after 10 years Clipper's website is still a wonky piece of shit...

Someone at SyFy is already developing "Cocaine Sharknado."
Friend: "Gary Glitter is apparently not doing well health-wise."
Me: "Well here's hoping it only gets worse. I could use a pick-me-up."
