Interesting, someone bought all the rights to those sewing patterns and spun it out as a new company. (for a mere $2.25 million)
The “Big 4” sewing patterns are saved. Simplicity, McCall’s, Vogue & Butterick get new life under Rubelmann Capital.

There's an outbreak of deadly fettucine
I don't know what to do
It's pasta time to get this under control
It's evil, through and through
The noodles have taken over
And have been killing people left and right
Tomato sauce has joined it
And the mess is quite a fright
Watch out for the Alfredo
It will kill you til your dead
Sneak up on you without warning
And kill you in your bed
The deadly fettucine oubreak
must be stopped at all cost
The consequences will be extremely dire
Or everything will be lost
So remember toss that fettucine
With a little broccoli and pesto sauce and wine
Keep it from growing stronger
And then the world will be fine

Welfare authorities tighten restrictions against 'vagrants'. 'Disorderly vagrants' can be arrested, assigned to compulsory labour schemes, or incarcerated.
Correction: 3.6 million. Deleted queue, disabled elasticsearch, and things have recovered. It appears that something decided my Mastodon instance would be a great way to search and crawl the fediverse. Need to determine how to limit searching to logged-in users ONLY. #MastoAdmin
Hmm, 1 million "pull" requests queued in an hour, took down my server, just deleted the entire queue. I'm going to go with "AI crawler" or "malicious requests". #MastoAdmin

Our family likes and eats a lot of Filipino food (Filipino grocery in our area -- but we're not Filipino), but am mystified to how the food so broadly avoids vegetables, LOL. There must be a historical reason for that. They are a fan of meat. Seafood. Starch. You can almost never find vegetables. Anyone know how this came about?
LOL wonder if the AI coding is going well there at Microsoft.
