The money they spend trying to make people like cops is more than enough to pay for your local elementary school's repair and equipment budget.

This is funny because I have the kind of AuDHD where I'm very organised and prepared and methodical and I will pack exactly what I need and nothing more, and Alex is the kind of AuDHD who will pack seventeen pairs of underwear and the Switch and the Chromecast and a bag of tools (no, not that kind, actual hand tools), for one night in a hotel

Anything helps!

Support your local movie theater, especially if it's a lovely old art deco building from the 1930s and is struggling to make ends meet.

It's long past time for me to unsubscribe from automated job posting emails because I just misread "Shift Lead" as "Shit Lead" and it didn't phase me at all.

So my toot about helmet laws increasing heart disease has got a few replies by people wondering wtf. The way it works is that mandatory helmet laws reduce cycling, fewer people cycling results in an increase in obesity related illnesses like heart disease and diabetes.

One of, if not rhe best, things that a government can do to improve health at a population level is increasing active travel (walking and cycling).

Well, everyone, you can now submit a comment to let the FCC know what you think about SpaceX asking for 1 million satellites for "AI datacenters" whatever the fuck that means.

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-26-113A1.pdf

Comments due March 6.

I am having a very hard time believing this is really happening. Fuck you, SpaceX, and fuck you, FCC. This is not regulation, this is a fucking joke, that will destroy our ability to use satellites for centuries.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Feb 5: Abraham Lincoln

👴🏻"Why do some Black people say that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist?"

👴🏿"Because Abraham Lincoln said that Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist. We just agree with him. Lincoln got angry if you suggested he wasn't a white supremacist"

I just want to remind you that in 1992, the Internet cost $2.50 an hour to access ($4.00 after the first four hours a night), was three million times slower than WiFi, and nobody in your house could take phone calls while you used it. Doomscroll on THAT.

Nell'epoca della assenza di supporti fisici per le opere artistiche o le conversazioni che ne sarà del futuro delle stesse?

Che succederà fra 50 o 100 anni quando gli studiosi vorranno capire cosa la gente si diceva? Le lettere non si usano più e si usano le piattaforme che non esisteranno più.
Che succederà delle opere artistiche quali film o serie che non escono dalle piattaforme, che fra 100 anni non saranno più in giro?
Che succederà dei siti web e dei videogiochi?
