Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history
“While Trump is eager to turn the page on the Epstein controversy, the administration has still not released dozens of pages related to the allegations of a woman who alleges that Trump sexually assaulted her as a minor.” popular.info/p/update-jud...
I had a choice of watching two different things crashing down in flames tonight and I'm for once glad I watched the one that wasn't the Mets (better luck tomorrow, boys).
Moon's haunted
Moon people emerging from the craft into the waiting arms of seamen.
[kidding of course, so cool to watch]
We all occasionally take a break from being online because we're surrounded by plasma. Happens to all of us, no need to make a big deal of it. Astronauts are such divas 🙄
Please, we don't get enough good ones here, we need to keep him.
Envying the Artemis crew being as far as anyone can be from this mess.
ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma... this is the best description of my concerns, musings, and fears as an ex-academic now SWE who enjoys mentoring. It's deeply important to do the "grunt work" to gain experience and insight. I hope we find how to strike balance here, both for myself and to teach others
Really digging Utzp, off the new Angine de Poitrine album.
There are way too many of you watching a speech you don't have to right now. Go watch the NASA live stream instead.
Glad to see this thread is back, it's my favorite way to keep up when I've missed a few games 😅
starting to get the sense that there is going to be a significant effort by the United States Government to conceal the extent of losses we're taking in the Iran War
Dipped back into using sill.social and it's sorta sad/disappointing how often the top shared articles in my network are things people are sharing because the take by the article is bad. Feels like the bluesky ethos of not giving trolls oxygen is getting lost.
Trump voted in this election — casting a ballot BY MAIL while he and his administration are trying to eliminate mail ballots.
His candidate lost the race to represent Mar-a-lago.
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
I have to imagine they were getting an absurd number of cease and desist notices, lol
democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks
When a SWE says "I have it all coded up, just need to land it".
Yeah it's really silly how they set themselves up for this, huh.
This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online
I don't currently have the time, personally, but I'm very curious to see if it succeeded 😅
What in the sweet name of Qo'noS did I miss On Here? The skyline is a fucking shambles of cursed Discourse. It's as if the gates of Gre'thor are empty and all the shamed and dishonored are here.
Or energy/mana vampirism?
Leeching?
