And as someone who admits to liking Soylent: Its coffee flavor was helpful when I just couldn't stomach actual food for the first half of the day. (Thankfully that isn't an issue anymore!)

The insanity was the tech bros trying to use it as a complete replacement for all nutritional intake! 😱

With hunger suppression drugs such as Ozempic, there's a growing demographic of folks struggling with protein deficiancy due to said suppression. While it's absolutely not the sole driver of this fad, there's an increase of appeal to products that pack on the protein.

Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

Okay, those all sound cool. Time to add them to my TBR list.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive.

Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list.

Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

I was building fandom websites at that age. (Mid-90s) Teaching myself HTML and authoring it in Windows Notepad. I would absolutely not be in the industry I'm in today if not for that initial technical curiosity as a kid.

I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Life goals!

Perhaps the most politically important thing about Zohran Mamdani is that it seems like he really, really likes New York and New Yorkers.

Watch your back for knives and tripping hazards in equal measure?

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike.

You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.
