[arguably cw: unsanitary] [Region of Waterloo] A virtual tour of a landfill and recycling centre.

[fairly abstract cw: discourse, war] [Tumblr; Wayback] (by [tumblr.com profile] togglesbloggle) I'm not sure what I think about this post (about culture war and Twitter poisoning, with Go metaphors), but it's interesting.

Four laugh-rule entries:

[cw: what it says on the tin] [Anchor] (by Jess and Sam)
Jess: Mindless Matters is an 18+ podcast that features live inductions. Please, do not listen while you are driving. Do not listen while you are doing important things that [need necessary focus?], don't endanger yourself...you are *responsible* for ensuring your own safety.

Sam: It's called "not safe for work" for a reason!

[Rock Paper Shotgun; Wayback] (by Nate Crowley)
Enter Wartales, then, which maddens me with the urge to append "woo-hoo" to its name every time I type it.

[Incognito Money Scribe; Wayback] (by Jacob Schroeder)
In other words, the $1.50 hot dog is synonymous with the Costco brand. The money-losing frankfurter is a part of the company’s identity. It is a staple for customers to recharge after buying five pounds of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 50 rolls of toilet paper and a coffin.

(Wait, do people actually eat at the Costco restaurant? ...I was gonna say "well, I guess of course people must or Costco would have shut it down", but, uh, it kind of sounds like they're running a food stand for the Aesthetic, so maybe they *wouldn't* have shut it down for mere lack of business.

Is the food any good?)

[strong cw: corporate bullshit] [Wall Street Journal (paywalled, but apparently my university alumni account still gets me Wall Street Journal access)] (by Jeff Horwitz; h/t Matt Levine)
Other flubbed enforcement actions were taken against the accounts of [...] Mr. Zuckerberg himself, whose live-streamed employee Q&A had been suppressed after an algorithm classified it as containing misinformation.




There is a blanket [cw: illness] on the rest of this post.


Comments on my own posts:

[WordPress (Tumblr)] Updated respirator guide with some anecdata on how long nuisance-vapour filters last, tips on protecting non-water-resistant filters from rain, and a small tweak to the phrasing of the section on anti-ingress and anti-egress to help emphasise that removing yourself from the chain of transmission protects the people downstream of you.

(I think I may have jinxed it a little with that rain bit, though: last time I had to go out it was pouring and quite windy, and I ended up having to carry my respirator in a plastic bag anyway because I didn't think an umbrella was gonna cut it.)

The one about immune-system training [two comments]

[arguably cw: nsfw text] [Dreamwidth; Wayback] (OP by [personal profile] feotakahari) Omegaverse residents have had a very long time to get used to the idea that breathing other people's air can have unwanted effects.
