My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

I was watching bodycam footage for a research project and I kid you not every unhinged person who was out of their mind drunk or on drugs was a Trumper, as were all the cops and there were many moments the opposing sides bonded over shit-talking Biden. It’s quite something.

Influencers are promoting peptides for better health. What does the science say? The latest wellness craze involves injecting these molecules for athletic performance, longevity and more. Scientists say the research isn't keeping pace with the health claims.

I don't understand how we have to beg people to get vaccinated while other people are fine shooting themselves up with untested compounds for unproven "gains" risking god knows what

True. The Democratic Party could do all sorts of ruthless, shrewd, politically calculating things they've shown neither the ability nor willingness to do.

Hey guys @welch.senate.gov said Mullin is honest and competent.

Hey Pete, you ass, Mullin said if Trump lost in 2024 he wasn't gonna certify the election. You're a fool and I can't believe you are cashing a paycheck using my tax money

WATCH: “How is the Elon’s tunnel not costing taxpayers money when they’re spending $5 MILLION on a ‘Subterranean Authority’?”

Rep. @jrclemmons.bsky.social tells us claims about the Nashville tunnel from @GovBillLee @SenJohnson @MarshaBlackburn were always “LIES”

"Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas" is the closest we'll ever get to that scene in The Naked Gun reboot where Liam Neeson looks around the room and comes up with the fake name "Cherry Roosevelt Fat Bozo Chowing Spaghetti"

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

TONIGHT! I’ll be hosting a Q&A with SIRĀT director Oliver Laxe and screenwriter Santiago Fillol following the 7pm show at the Coolidge. And our friend @jshawhan.bsky.social is handling the Nashville screening on Sunday, so obviously these people have great taste in moderators.

Mike Love is a lot like Trump in that he's finally achieved control over the propaganda myth making (Disney produced documentary that rewrites his history in the band to be more positive) and the money and the fame and literally everyone fucking hates his guts

Actually he's more like Elon Musk.

I regret to say that I literally thought this was something about judging how the midterm elections were going/how the parties were faring for a second. 😬

I'll take off my glasses and get real close to it, almost looking through it. And then slowly move backward, seeing what patterns or textures are introducing themselves. There's always something hiding in the blank.

under AB-715, a bill he signed, I believe teachers in CA schools are forbidden from teaching or say this? the bill basically codifies IHRA's defintion of antisemitism, equating criticism of Israel w/ antisemitism.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

A St. Paul police officer fabricated a massive sex trafficking case and had multiple people locked up under false charges. The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a ruling that she can't be sued by her victims. She appears to still be employed by the St. Paul PD. ij.org/press-releas...
