Miyamoto is the damn goat. He should be so very proud of the success of the Super Mario Bros. Movie.

One of the fishermen asked Hill if he wanted to join Drew and the shark in the water… and Tyreek's answer was priceless, via @TMZ:
“Hell nah!” the wide receiver… pic.twitter.com/vO74U2eCmf
Drew Rosenhaus really seems like a giant d bag. This video doesn't help the case against that sentiment.

Pride Month continues
So trans women can be targeted and harassed, called every slur under the sun and told to kill ourselves, and that’s fine and nobody will get suspended. But using the correct accurate term for someone who isn’t trans is a slur and will get you suspended? Free speech!!! pic.twitter.com/jUtMcybodt

Twitter's owner is taking a very clear stand on his definition of free speech, and it stinks.

This fake Elon Musk account has its anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech amplified by Twitter Blue verification.

Shacknews Cortex Shouts dev update
It's been a week since we launched our new short-form social media platform, and users have been providing us with some very valuable feedback.
- Cortex and Chatty Logos
- We are going to be changing the link back to the Shacknews.com front page.
- Like button
- Likes are working on the user side, but are not displaying properly on several feeds
- We believe a caching issue is causing problems with the displaying of Likes
- URL optimizations
- Cortex Shout hyperlinks are creating massively long URL slugs, and including other URLS
- We are going to limit URL slug length to 35 characters and prevent hyperlinks from appearing in Cortex Shout URLs
- Image optimizations
- Images uploaded to Cortex Shouts are displaying at too low of a resolution on the feeds
- We are looking at solutions to this problem that is likely being caused by our implementation of webp
- Profile pictures
- We have detected a caching issue causing Profile pictures to not appear and are closing in on a fix
- Embedding of Shouts
- We want people to be able to share Cortex Shouts as embeds, and are working on that functionality
- Mouseover text for Cortex Shouts image upload, video upload, and GIF buttons
- We will implement this in the next update
We expect to have some of these issues resolved by next week, so keep an eye on Thursday Evening Reading articles for updates.
There you have it, Shacknews. Your Evening Reading for June 22, 2023. Please consider downloading and playing our first official app Shackpets to support our company. The Hero of Time Sticker Pack is available for free on the Shackpets Sticker Store.
