Consider this your reminder to watch Scavengers Reign on Netflix and juice the fuck outta its numbers and convince whoever needs convincing that there’s a place for amazing, adult-audience animation in the world. Thank u.

People have actually made programmable LED signs for the back window of cars, I guess a LOT of folks had similar impulses? Hopefully Bluesky won't mind an Amazon link: www.amazon.com/KJOY-Bluetoo...

$24 billion is a lot when it's "amount of money owned by a guy" but for a "proactively prevent the next pandemic" investment it's a ludicrously good deal.

HOW COOL IS THIS? A vaccine for honeybees? More likely than you think! Not only did the vaccine protect bees from a fatal BACTERIAL disease, it ALSO protected them against from a VIRAL disease spread by varroa mites! Now that’s a BUZZWORTHY solution! 🐝 Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

One of the toughest problems Microsoft has to solve is that Windows has to serve two very different types of users: business users who don't want this at all, and home users who don't want this at all.

For that matter, if you want to make sure apps/subscriptions/companies have deleted your data after you leave or just want someone else to do the breaking up for you, Consumer Reports has a free app called Permission Slip that submits deletion requests on your behalf.

Period trackers are not safe for people in limited/no-abortion states. Many are collecting massive amounts of personal data on you beyond what you believe you’ve allowed. And tech companies are notoriously cooperative with law enforcement when they request your data—even w/o warrant/subpoena.

One of the many things that infuriates me is that there are GOOD, non-evil uses for tech like this! You could use it to locate ghost ponds or sites of archaeological interest, or track when trees leaf out for climate scientists or find trash concentrations in the ocean. But no, straight to evil.

COVID Update: sinuses still suck but the whole household is testing negative now, thankfully. I also realized that COVID preventing Chris's work trip meant he could be here for Bentley, which is a terrible silver lining but it would've been so much worse if he was in Texas.

Christ this is the worst...week? Week and a half? Had to put our dog, Bentley, down last night. He'd been feeling sick (mostly digestive issues, we'd been talking to a vet) and then suddenly went downhill...he had a mass on his spleen and internal bleeding.
