Despite RFK Jr's best efforts, however, the health and lifespans of Americans in 1986 were considerably worse. Especially if anyone you cared about happened to be gay.

computer literacy education in the united states failed by assuming the windows 95-era conception of the desktop metaphor was the foregone conclusion rather than a stepping stone to one day be replaced.
why did god make me a milk snob. like why did I have to be born with the ability to taste a really distinct difference between regular milk and organic milk
@iame.li posting here to not detract from stream chat, i think about this an inordinate amount. this is like the holy grail of internal company comms to me
does anyone else do that thing where when you feel your phone vibrate for a text you pray to the gods above that its one of the gorgeous women you love or just me

Gotta post my favorite Wikipedia excerpt again
Absolutely unrelated to anything important here, but this is one of the funniest Wikipedia entries I’ve read
reddit loves giving me the "oops! all r/actuallesbians" front page
it feels so in character for the companies that each is about that Accidental Billionaires was adapted into the massively successful The Social Network whereas Hatching Twitter's attempted adaptation failed to ever actually make it into production
People say that the tech industry is evil, but I basically believe that the powers at entertainment industries are like 100x more evil and people defend them because they've been brainwashed by their accrued social capital.
If there's any organization who'd purposefully burn books so people can't access them it is probably the publishers and the writer's guild. The last time evil tech-bros tried scanning books for public access they freaked the fuck out and forced them to keep them private.
it is vaguely inspirational that gemini flash cares for the well being of all organisms

*puts on reading glasses* y'all were maybe too young, but at Twitter circa 2012 and earlier, "getting verified" involved a dev SSH'ing into one of the prod rubyy-on-rails boxes and using the ruby REPL to flip the verified bit on an account. now extend that analogy to the rest of "trust and safety"
People think modern social media is a hellscape, but back in 2002, we didn't have "trust and safety teams" we had volunteer mods that were teenagers ill-equipped to handle any serious drama
Some good news: the team at @bsky.app just awarded Gifthood a $2,000 AT Protocol grant. Thank you, sincerely. It means a lot that the people building the open network believe in what we're trying to do to build stronger connections among neighbors.
