Went to a cocktail bar last night fully intending to order a cocktail.

Bartender: "We don't have a physical menu. You have to check us out on #Instagram to get the cocktail list."

I find them on Instagram only to discover that it's impossible to see their menu there when not logged in.

I. Don't. Have. An. Instagram. Account.

Me: "Yeah, I'll have a small beer, thanks." (at less than quarter of the price of a cocktail)

🙄 FFS businesses, stop getting captured by #Meta. It hurts your business.

After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...

Have a good Friday everyone!

Capitalism never uses productivity to pay for leisure. It only uses it to pay for more productivity.

We have leisure because of unions, not because of productivity.

Apparently Vogue magazine is suing a dog-fashion magazine called Dogue: https://people.com/vogue-publisher-conde-nast-suing-parody-dog-fashion-magazine-dogue-11930022

Dogue has a circulation of < 100 and is free online. Also, it's about dogs. Having read the latest issue, it's also absolutely adorable. I'm happy to help Streisand this nonsense: https://thedoguemagazine.com/

I'm happy to write for free, but if you enjoy my work would you consider helping me save my cancer survivor mom's farmhouse from the bank? She's sick, her husband is dying and neither of them can work, so it's up to me to try and solve this and I can't do it alone. Any help you can spare would be appreciated and 100% of donations go to my mom to pay her mortgage/care costs.

Thanks, I appreciate any help you can offer.
