An ad for McDonald's "Sportsball" Happy Meal, with a picture of 3 little kids joyously playing with colorful soccer balls, basketballs, and baseballs in a white room

In 1990, McDonald's ran a Happy Meal promotion that was apparently created by a smug, insufferable, time-traveling Bluesky poster from 2025!

One of my all time favorite food marketing tropes is that they just decided that the way some 50 year old executive thought "rock stars" looked like in 1987 is how they'd be portrayed for the rest of time

every time you choose to do the V signs for the camera when you could be holding the skirt instead, we are blessed by your presence

Since "blogging" was becoming a thing, they set up blogs "authored" by the fictional "raging cows". But most notably, they hired a group of real teenagers to promote Raging Cow on their REAL blogs, which at the time was seen as disingenuous, unethical, and tacky, and even led to a boycott!

A 2003 screenshot of the Yahoo! homepage, but covered with advertising images for Raging Cow, making it look like a cow had "taken over," splattering milk and fruit everywhere. The cow is popping out from the bottom left corner holding a pitchfork and screaming

The marketing for Raging Cow was wild! First, they created a whole lore/backstory about a cow that was fed up with "boring milk" and wasn't gonna take it anymore, revolting against the farmers. Then, they "took over" websites, most notably the Yahoo homepage

ATTN FELLOW CANADIANS:

An actual MP has created a petition to stop financial discrimination against adult creators by payment processors. You have to confirm your email but thats because its something that can actually be shown to parliament.

Pretty outfit, and I love the place you found to use as scenery!

this still remains my favorite of your outfits

I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I lost a friend in a similar manner recently and it's difficult.

A stock photo of two people doing business on a staircase.

Two dudes standing around a watercooler, presumably having a 'watercooler conversation' about last night's Seinfeld or whatever.

A woman reclining in a chair in a business suit with her shoes off.

A guy in a suit on a city street doing some damn business on a cell phone. The business never stops!!!!!

Today I discovered that people have been uploading old stock photo CD-ROMs to the Internet Archive and now I'm obsessed with the mid-'90s business-core aesthetic.

This month, shoutouts to my fellow trans people that transitioned and changed nothing but optics. The outfits? Unchanged. The attitude? Unbothered. The effort? Minimal. My pronouns may be she/her now but my sleeping noises are still honk/shoo. Happy Pride!

Yes. In a sane media environment, the bathroom ban would be the end of anyone treating 'gender critical feminists' as anything other than a hate group. It's a straightforwardly bigoted policy that imposes an insane 'solution' to a nonexistent problem.

Just block people instead of stewing in resentment tolerating them until you write an embarrassing google document revealing their fetishes and trying to frame it as a smoking gun.

99% of callout posts are common and unremarkable interpersonal conflict that should be kept private and just end with people no longer speaking, but everyone is insane now so it has to be framed as a crime in a desperate attempt to push them entirely out of a social sphere

Is there a particular reason you like recording and sharing the wind footage you make?

it's a bit complicated of a program to use but I've had pretty good results with a program called Testdisk for accessing files on drives that otherwise have issues

this is probably the favorite of your dresses I've seen in action thus far, agree with everyone who says the "Asuka" look works wonders for you and fits really well for the wind

Supernova was one of my favorite Dew flavors and its discontinuation is proof to me that Dewmocracy is a sham

I'm Team Banana Candy but I'm also Team Black Licorice so what the hell do I know

Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!

my mother would always call any fruit-flavored snack "fun fruits" years and years after these were discontinued, I wonder if these were so successful at the time it lead to brand genericization

Discontinued (Canadian) Food news!

this is one of the weird discontinued foods I remember most distinctly for some reason

This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters. Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
