My kid’s like “look a dog!” That’s cool buddy, nice spotting “look a digger!” WHERE I am pretty sure if I ever get in a car accident it’ll be because my kid spotted heavy machinery before I did

Ok look, Barkerville is obviously going to win. I won’t complain to @justinmcelroy.bsky.social. But Enchanted Forest deserves to put up a hell of a fight. It’s one of the few remaining of the classic Road Trip attractions, endearing and terrifying in equal measure. Please vote Enchanted Forest.

Oh but the company should have no duty of care so it’s even simpler, you just stop buying their product when it kills your loved one. When enough loved ones die that the total of dead loved ones and the bereaved is large enough to hurt profits, then they might stop selling tainted food!

The word on the playground was that eating the Ichiban raw would give you worms and we all did it anyway. As if we even knew what it meant to “have worms”, sorry whichever kid’s mom tried to use that as a deterrent

May I add one? If you can, take a shower RIGHT before bed, take the water as cold as you can stand it and let your body adjust to the cold. Dry off and head straight to bed. The heat should then feel almost pleasant and by the time you warm back up you’ll hopefully be sleeping deeply.

Castanet has a map from BCWS showing the latest perimeter of the Bald Range wildfire which is threatening the whole town of Summerland. No streets on the map image so hard to tell if they’ve been able to hold it at the edge. I’m hoping that everyone’s been able to get out safely.

The cats are all safe, and at last update that I saw, the pasture animals were safe as well but I think some of them got evacuated to places that subsequently came under threat. But they’re on it and they’re doing what they can with lots of help being offered

When SEO first made Google useless for product reviews Reddit was still reliable for a little while, but it didn’t take long for the bot/shill accounts to make that really difficult, too. Even legit good word of mouth is often rendered worthless by the company subsequently having been “acquired”

As they say, a picture says a thousand words. The question is, does a user with a screen reader come away from the alt text with an impression of the comic that is comparable to a user who viewed the image and who was reasonably attentive to the imagery as well as the text?

Some (white) people will say that AI is a better and more neutral option than humans, that data is impartial, etc. But racism in, racism out. What data is considered and how it is considered is not impartial, and when a lot of the existing data is the result of racist decision making…

We have rocks! We don’t know what all of them are yet but we’ll look them up when they finish tumbling. And now the kid wants to go find rocks of her own so we’re researching where to go on rock walks.

My mother wrote a book putting my young child in the cabin where dad tried to kill me. This is the review Amazon keeps taking down from this book listing: www.amazon.com/Granny-Annie... I am asking the internet to read my review instead of the sycophantic reviews there now. #signalboost

This book uses my daughter's likeness. She is visiting Granny Annie at the cabin in Northport, MI that Anne used to own. Her husband Walter took me there after I was diagnosed with autism when I was roughly the same age as my daughter is at time of publication. Walter was arrested in Grayling, Michigan that weekend. He had driven me, while very drunk, for 80 miles.

In that cabin, I begged to go to school the next day so I would not be "The Genetic Curse." That's why he drunkenly got in the car. Anne picked me up from the Grayling police station.

You can note this book doesn't depict me, just my daughter who was underage at the time of publication. My wife and I were not asked for permission for her likeness to be used. Minnesota's 2025 child media law may be applicable here.

For those confused:

On roughly the 40th anniversary of my father's arrest, my mother published a book depicting my child at the cabin my life was threatened at ~40 years prior. The cabin I begged for my life at. She has sent multiple copies of this book to me, unsolicited. I do not appear in the book.

Every time Anne yelled at me that she brought me into this world and she could take me out, she did so with the weight of that event crushing those words into me.

As for the story: It's a children's book where the children have no autonomy or agency as they are ordered around by Granny Annie. That seems true to real life: I had no agency or choice but to mask neurotypical because if I didn't...who knew what would happen?

I've included a photo of the multiple copies Anne has sent to me, unsolicited. Both copies have inscriptions in her handwriting admitting the little girl is my daughter.

I was told “You don’t have to live here.”

I was told “You can’t ask for help anymore.”

I was told “I will not attend your daughter’s birthday” because I hadn’t apologized for your feelings.

I was punished in the will.

Why do you publish my child’s likeness now, in the place I had to beg for my life?

When I have had a long day with the kids and every nerve is fried, it’s very hard for me to remember that they’ve had a long day too and unlike me, they have not had 40 years to learn to regulate their behaviour.
