I remember riding that about eight years ago and smelling a lot of weed. Is it still like that?

So true. My MAGA friends send me Instagram and YouTube AI slop all the time. I have to point out that the content creator says that it’s AI right in the description and all they had to do was read the description before they sent the garbage to me. They want to believe so badly…

I remember having a ZIP drive until it got the “click of death“ and then I went out and bought a SyQuest 270 MB system for some ungodly amount of money. Fit right in with my Quadra 660 AV that I packed full of 16 MB (8x2) of RAM for a princely sum of $400. I actually sold the factory 4 MB for $100.

I’m sure there was a backstory to that image.

Yes, but still constrained to our light cone, correct?

‘Germinal’. Nice. Read ‘L'Assommoir’ last year. Brutal and heartbreaking, as naturalism should be.

True!! Looking forward to comparing this manuscript with current extant copies that we’ve been using from the last 2500 years. Could be enlightening.

Thank you for writing this. Just tonight, I was arguing with a MAGA friend that Islam does not equate to violence, as he has learned from Fox News. He is convinced that all Muslims want to kill all Christians. Again, the right wing is indoctrinating them into violence. The irony.

They don’t know sh*t about the Horn of Africa history. Most likely Kingdom of Shaba/Sheba influences across the Gulf of Aden during the Solomonic dynasties. @digkabri.bsky.social Comments?

Oh, and my wife says Happy Birthday as well. She ate sushi with you in Tampa back in about 1987 when she was working for a video company. Still have the picture!

Happy birthday! Memories of you, and the crew, set the stage for my career in supporting the space program, even today. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Where Is the Constitution Center When We Need It? Jeffrey Rosen is out. Now the institution must decide whether it will remain a quiet, genteel place of scholarship or actually take on the current threats to democracy.

@plattle.bsky.social Agree!!!

Written by D.C.Fontana. I was lucky enough to write her a letter about 15 years ago and received a nice follow up. Very gracious of her. Always been a fan of her storytelling.

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.

He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Will have to revisit next time we’re in Naples, which I’ll have to talk to wife into - the amount of graffiti and trash was a real turn off last time we were there, but I’m sure there are many hidden gems just like this.
