Chewing gum is plastic.

"chemical analysis shows that gum contains styrene-butadiene (the durable synthetic chemical used to make car tyres), polyethylene (the plastic used to make carrier bags and bottles) and polyvinyl acetate (woodglue) as well as some sweetener and flavouring."

My robot vacuum came packed inside this. Should I worry?

@bruces These are not the agents we've been looking for, but the assertions are somewhat amusing.

YouTube transcript analysis is a whole new dimension of SEO apparently.

"Turn headlines into love stories" isn't even a good pitch when most headlines today start out as dystopian SF with highly unlikely dialogue. Seriously, turn them into obscene sea shanties and derisive limericks, slam poetry and protest signs.

"A town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) last week, in a district that went for Trump 60-38, was a disaster, with angry constituents demanding that he stand up for them and not let Trump control the federal budget and cut services for the needy. Other deep-red districts have seen similar dynamics. (1/5)

China Times News Network reports that a massive Thai cannabis farm fire got area residents pretty baked. https://ctinews-com.translate.goog/news/items/JpnqK1w1aM?_x_tr_sl=zh-CN&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

@bruces Nobody steals pink tools. Magic.

@tofugolem Apparently the research on the percentages is flawed, but FUCK YES we need some strong pushback. From Congress, lawyers, judges and military.

I am concerned that they want people like us to riot so they can shoot us in the street, though. I don't think our right to assemble is assured at this point.

I'm also 100% sure they don't care what the people think, because we can't stop them. The people who can are those who are confronted with the choice to obey orders.

@Infoseepage You can probably get this done online quickly at mdlive.com or onemedical (amazon).

@csilverman I wish I could favorite this 100 times. I'm excited to see the other 99 of this series.

@MastodonEngineering @Mastodon I hope that hiring this person will make it possible to stop the mechanism that today turns preview images into preview text as you scroll. It moves buttons inches away from the click during the click gesture(!) causing errors and making users chase the buttons with the mouse, and it hides the images that we want to see.

If this is true, women will hold all the engineering and professional jobs within a generation.

If this is true, then young men don't want to hang out with young women, which seems absurd.

If this is true, then the collapse of marriage can't be far behind.

If this is true, then countries with less toxic masculinity will send men to US universities.

If this is true, we should segregate college by gender to give men a safe space.

If this is true, parenting failed.

@skinnylatte Thanks for sharing the insurance math. I will get some next time around now that I know it can work. If you feel comfortable doing so, would you please tell me the pet insurance company name?
