Brands out of Kansas. Most of us can only effectively boycott a few of them, but Pizza Hut, Russell Stover, Sonic, and Frito-Lay seem like good places to start. If you eat meat, Kansas City Steaks and Great Range Bison can also go on the list.

Hoboken added the inclusive Pride colors this year. They haven't repainted the six-color rainbow in a long time, but if it was one or the other they made the right choice.

Here it is with alt text.

Why it's a bad idea to store 700 pounds of fireworks in your home, especially if you're a careless smoker:

Here's a thing I don't understand at all. All the main nutrients except protein go down when you pop the bag, according to this. I guess there's a little loss when stuff escapes the bag, but a 20% reduction in calories is kind of amazing. 1/3

The Bluesky icon I'm sure you recognize. The same butterfly only tilted with a hole in it is for the blood sugar monitoring app. TBH, I doubt I'll be confused, but argh.

Oops, Netflix. Better fix this before Moms For Liberty finds out one of their kids watched a BL by mistake.

My reply to FCC Proceeding 19-41 (on labeling trans and nonbinary content).

Going through a friend's old cables. What in seven hells is this one?

My sister sent me this picture of a constellation.

Holy Hannah. If I were still seeking this alone would sorely tempt me into the nearest synagogue.

New rule: Don't write pseudo-medieval romantasy if you don't know that hay and straw are two. Different. Things.

Hey @britbox.bsky.social, you want 'grisly' here. 'Grizzly' is a bear. Pretty sure this isn't the only case. Might want to search your descriptions for 'grizzly' and make sure they're all bears.

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.

A friend saw this in CVS and bought it. She has no idea why it's called "Tribbles Rabbit" or what that's supposed to mean. Anyone?
