Sometimes Octopi will capture sharks, and just hold onto them for awhile. Scientists speculate that it's to clean parasites off them. What do you think they're up to?

Perfect expression of what newspaper front pages *should* say today--but do not. An extension of my rant and post

The most important thing you need to understand about propaganda warfare is this:

It's cheap.

Público: El alcalde de Barcelona deja la red X, un pozo de fake news e intransigencia · Mastodon News Feed https://www.publico.es/politica/alcalde-barcelona-deja-red-x-pozo-fake-news-e-intransigencia.html

I don’t always boost my own posts, but I definitely do when I’m bored and attention-seeking and don’t have anything new to say.

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

If you hear a scream across the internet right now, it is the sound I am making while reading the Internet Archive v. Hatchette Books appeal, which IA has lost: https://www.wired.com/story/internet-archive-loses-hachette-books-case-appeal/

Holy shit, my wife just found this on the top of a container of collagen that we just bought from Costco:
“By opening and using this product, you agree to be bound by our terms and conditions fully set forth at vitalproteins.com/tc, which include a mandatory arbitration agreement. If you do not agree to be bound, please return this product immediately.”

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works, huh?

@RickiTarr

I can't stand heist movies. Its all the same bs. The crew, the plan, the escape.

It's like they use a flipbook to write them...

@RickiTarr 1). Snipers & gangsters who empty their guns without hitting anyone, then scramble to reload while being shot at by the other crackpot shot.
2). Smoking & drinking nonstop without coughing, getting COPD, throwing up, losing their job and hot love interest, etc.
3). Staring intently at the passenger while driving without crashing.
4). Airbags that never deploy and bruise the hell out of the beautiful women.
5). Women who run in high heels and don’t break their ankles.

@RickiTarr Pole dancing with tragically. unrealistic, pretty, happy strippers. Just once I’d like to see someone have the courage to show the truth. The hidden despair, the pock marked faces, slathered in makeup trying to cover their barely healed bruised bodies & souls. (I drew portraits at an up scale bar, in Houston. The rose lady was a former stripper & also sold in all the strip clubs in Houston. She & I became friends & I met a lot of her friends.)

Go home, Reality, you're drunk again!

“I think it’s worth listening to anything Sara Soueidan has to say. That’s especially true if she’s speaking at an event for the first time in four years, which was the case when she took the stage at #CSSDay 2024 in Amsterdam.”

Griffith University: Game-changing needle-free COVID-19 intranasal vaccine.

"The vaccine offers potent protection against transmission, prevents reinfection and the spread of the virus, while also reducing the generation of new variants"

"Unlike the mRNA vaccine which targets only the spike protein, CDO-7N-1 induces immunity to all major SARS-CoV-2 proteins and is highly effective against all major variants to date."
