That's a heck of a "Return to Sender."
Whereby a bunch of unvaccinated MAGAs describe the symptoms of Long COVID without quite making the connection.

Supreme Court rules colleges and universities must stop considering race in admissions
BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court rules colleges and universities must stop considering race in admissions, putting an end to affirmative action in higher education. https://t.co/qCOtkgbxQO pic.twitter.com/jv4l1qxcyq

I likely would not have made it to the University of Michigan if affirmative action didn't exist.
What a comeback!

Shacknews Cortex Shouts dev update
It's been two weeks since we launched our new short-form social media platform, and users have been providing us with some very valuable feedback. Here's the latest from our Shacknews Cortex Shouts development project:
- Cortex and Chatty Logo Buttons
- Both of these buttons will now link back to the Shacknews.com front page
- Like Button
- Likes should be appearing properly on the feeds now
- Still working on adding a Like Button to individual Cortex Shout pages
- URL optimizations
- Cortex Shout hyperlinks are now limited to 35 character URL slugs
- Cortex Shout hyperlink URL slugs will now no longer include hyperlinks in the body of the Shout
- Image optimizations
- We have increased the resolution of images on Cortex Shout pages
- Profile pictures
- We have fixed the caching issue that was causing Profile pictures to not appear
- Mouseover text for Cortex Shouts image upload, video upload, and GIF Buttons
- We have implemented this requested accessibility feature
- Shacknews Cortex Shouts modal now dynamically expands when typing longer posts
- Implemented this in an effort to reach some sort of parity with competitor modals
- Embedding of Shouts
- We are still working on a solution to allow people to be able to share Cortex Shouts as embeds
- When users post a Cortex Shout it takes them to the My Posts page
- This was something we ended up going with during testing because the All Posts feed takes a bit to cache, and we don't want people to think their Shout didn't post
- We admit that this is not an ideal solution, and will look at some other solutions, but we are rolling with the current flow for now
We expect to have some more updates ready to ship in the next few weeks, so keep an eye on our Thursday night Evening Reading articles for all the latest Shacknews development updates.
There you have it, Shacknews. Your Evening Reading for June 29, 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.
What are you up to tonight? Let us know in the Shacknews Chatty comment thread below.
