any statement like ‘Gen z have no literacy/cannot write/spell/communicate’ that is not also coupled with ‘their means of learning has been eradicated by tech fascism and government removal of funding’ is not worth listening to or boosting. the kids are living under the regime we allowed

I can't tell if I'm exhausted from all of the pain these last 2 days, or because I don't know how much sleep I actually got because of the pain, or because I haven't been able to eat properly because of the pain. Bodies are dumb. Perimenopause is double dumb.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

I know he would hate it, but asking his forgiveness is easier than writing his eulogy. My dad has been in hospitals or skilled nursing facilities since June 8th, he's making progress, but costs are piling up and insurance is no longer covering his care. gofund.me/b5c04e42e

People with #eBikes - commuter bike recommendations? Looking to (mostly) leave the ride-share life behind, and a car is not on the table right now. 4 miles, 20 minute rides, sidewalks/bike paths. Rated 350 lbs. Top speed over 35 mph is not needed. Yes, I will be getting safety equipment :)

I don’t know how many times I need to say that ACAB also applies to the grammar police, but I guess I’ll keep on saying it until my fellow unpigmenteds get it through their skulls that this is classist, often racist behavior and is never as cute and/or helpful as you think it is

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time
