@blogdiva So, the price increase was not a moveable thing and they thought getting Kimmel back would just make everyone a.) forget everything and b.) be ok with paying *more?*

A certain percentage of people who cancelled just are not coming back. This is not the economy to be raising streaming prices in. These guys think there's just no ceiling.

Antifa isn’t an organization; it’s an ideology. There are organizations that use the name in their org name, but they don’t represent every individual antifascist. Trump has no legal authority to declare individuals who share a collective ideology as a terrorist organization. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/designating-antifa-as-a-domestic-terrorist-organization/ #uspol #antifa

We had a lot of fun with everyone at the XXV Anniversary!

My father was born in 1932 and was autistic as the day is long, not that anyone noticed. Because being intelligent and being able to cope, pretty much meant you couldn't be in those days. Widening the diagnostic criteria and catching people like him, and me, doesn't mean we weren't autistic before. It just means that we're getting better at seeing what it actually is.

@mattsheffield So are you expecting all of the sheep to sign up again with Disney? LOL

Just gonna leave this here for anyone who is finding the discourse particularly evil today

One of our King County councilmembers (for our most conservative district) is trying to vilify county employees doing remote work. (yes, he's up for re-election...) I don't appreciate being besmirched so unfairly and un-factually. While ranting against taxes, he notes we're still getting paid salaries based on in-person work. True, but misleading -- pre-covid, many businesses used to pay an allowance for the costs of having a home office. But we don't get any compensation for those costs.

IT’S ALWAYS AN ATTACK ON WOMEN‼️

There's a scam that has been around in Bluesky. Now it's infecting Mastodon.

Someone is claiming they (or their relative) have diabetes and needs insulin. They have been with many fake aliases, and they pretended to be Palestinian and few actual Palestinians plenty of times.

Please do not fall into this.
Check this Bluesky account and their thread for more information.

As of writing this post, the account got suspended, but there is a possibility that more accounts will be created.

there is a lot going on here

The solution to autism is more autism.

My final thought is to state the importance of everyone reflecting on their power and privilege, and to consider how to utilize your power and privilege to serve those who are less privileged.

When a "self-driving" car crashes, that's information the public needs to have. Everyone driving, cycling, or walking on streets where these vehicles operate has a legitimate interest. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Again, tonight, two drones were spotted above our boat, the SIRIUS. One seemed to be fixed-wing, and the other seemed smaller.

This again coincides with the passing of suspicious cargo ships. Earlier, the state of Israel issued a statement accusing us of being members of Hamas.

This demonstrates the desperation of the zionist entity; their attempting to cast a peaceful humanitarian aid mission as the enemy demonstrates weakness, not strength.
