I know a Canes player can’t go after Meier and risk the lead.

But there might be a certain tech powered by 40 gallons of pure water who’s available.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute πŸ”₯

I’m finding myself watching Mythbusters a lot lately. It’s smart people applying critical thinking and debunking nonsense. In these times where disinformation is king, it’s my comfort show.

If I was a professional wrestler, I'd be called Climate Change. I'd be slow but deadly and would always win because no one would fight me.

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and β€˜hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

we have no idea how long digital (cloud) storage actually lasts. We already know it's at the whims of people

Archival paper lasts at least 3 centuries, also at the whims of people.

Just think about it ok

Scheduling a #CanesAfterDark game at the end of a three day weekend is cruel, NHL. Go Canes tonight (while I sleep).

Spoilers: The tape is blank. But one can only imagine why the Dept of Conservation ran a radio ad featuring Godzilla.

Any other #archivists on here? I’d love to recreate the good parts of Archives Twitter on here. Sharing my favorite label found in the collections I manage. #archives

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won? It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

Yes, there were a lot of factors that contributed to Tuesday’s events, but I think this article hits closer to my thoughts than anything else I’ve read. When folks hear 24 hr barrages of malicious vitriol, it’s hard to break through with calm, rational thinking.
