Stop using Brave Browser.

Seriously.

If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong. Brave Browser is a mess of a software project, and the company building it is even worse.

If anyone out there likes #Picross games, Epic Launcher has a freebie for the week called "Murder by Numbers" for free.

This is so cursed, but somehow so awesome at the same time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyfQVZHmArA

This is a warning about Meta and Threads.

Please boost this here and outside of Mastodon so that pregnant people in the United States are informed that using Meta/Threads is dangerous.

I'm unlikely to get pregnant but I have ZERO presence on Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads as a matter of principle.

These are Latin terms which I know from their use in chemistry.

- cis means 'the same side of'
- trans means 'the other side of'

When I first heard these words applied to gender they made perfect sense and are perfectly acceptable.

So in case you missed it, the mercenary group Wagner seems to have turned against Russia, and by multiple accounts, they entered Russia to little initial resistance and they are planning a coup.

I doubt Wagner poses any serious threat to Putin. But there WILL be attempts to make them the good guys (I already see glimpses of it on soscial media). They're not. They've an extensive history of war crimes.

PLEASE remember that this is bad guys vs bad guys.

Do not give your real name and address if you need to go to the ER in the US, they must treat you by law regardless.

(Look up EMTALA, and report them if they violate it, it's a HUGE fine for them)

Leave your ID at home and bring a fake ID or make something up when they ask you.

They have to treat you by law.

Unless you like a $$$$ bill.

Same thing with an ambulance company, fake name and address. Because they'll bill you $5000 too if you tell them who you really are.

Bad. Ass.

Annie Lennox was called 'gender bender' as an insult. So she dressed as Elvis for the Grammys in 1984.

She said: "I thought it would be interesting to actually come onstage as a man. Like, 'Hey, you think I'm a man? Then I'll be a man. If you want to feel 'comfortable,' here I'll be. I'll be a man for you.' That was kind of my thinking.”

We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring problem with defective Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee!

This will prevent the disposal of unrepaired controllers and unnecessary waste.
