If Battlestar survives 400 years into the future Shakespeare play style people will NOT believe that Gaius Baltar came before Elon Musk/assorted AI guys were a thing

I vaguely remember renting the Rocko game for SNES one summer and thinking how impossible it was to keep Spunky alive!

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

I kinda regret that I never got to play with ISDN more. When I was studying for the CCNA back in high school, it was still in the curriculum and I was kinda fascinated by it. But I’m sure in practice there were probably plenty of annoyances.

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.

(Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

Special Report: The night everything at DCA finally went wrong D.C. midair crash was the result of a complete collapse of the protections designed to keep aviation safe β€” and the institutions that design and maintain them

If you only read one article on the D.C. midair collision one year ago today (and oh boy are there some you shouldn't read) this is the one. From the inimitable @willguisbond.com theaircurrent.com/aviation-saf...

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Tennessee whistleblower says library board chair sought private data as part of state's book purge A First Amendment expert told The Advocate that there are "huge" legal implications stemming from the situation.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."

A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

Honestly, the iPad feels the most magical to me when I ditch the physical keyboard cover and just use it as a tablet.

A photo oof a Macintosh SE on a Macintosh Table, a wooden stylised kind of 80s looking table, with a glass vase of blue purple (irises?), external drive, mousepad and a pen & writing folder next to it, and an actual clock. to the lower left is a cabinet attached to the inside of the desk with books, probably real manuals, standing up in it. The whole scene is in front of a stonewashed denim looking photographic backdrop.

This is as far as computing should have ever been allowed to get.

At the airport waiting for my flights back to California and it’s only really now that it feels like the post-DragonCon blues are setting in.

Dang, I remember going to the mall with my parents where the local FOX affiliate was handing out posters for the premiere. What a time! Had that poster on the back of my bedroom door for most of my childhood.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.
