What you need to understand about the World Wide Web in 1994, is that it was incredibly ugly: www.fastcompany.com/91140068/how...

What the internet looked like in 1994, according to 15 webpages born that year - Fast Companywww.fastcompany.com Looking back at the Web when it first entered the mainstream shows a world far different from today's cyber wastelands.

Elections are not about who is better and deserves to win … it’s about who will win. There are a lot of people who believe the felon is the better choice. There are a lot fewer people who think the decent old guy is the better choice. Hillary was capable and qualified. And she lost. 1/2

My god. It doesn’t look good.

“See that bridge? Built it with my own two hands. Carried the stone on my back, placed each one with great skill. You could drive a herd of cattle over it, so strong it is. But do they call me ‘Biden The Bridge Builder’? No! They do not!” But, you blow one debate…

The most effective tool in the republican arsenal is to foster conflict within democrats and let them fight amongst themselves. That tool is unleashed today - democrats are now split between the stay/go camps, eating their own. Just like 2016. What happened in 2016?

I was going to go with JG Wentworth, but this kinda wins.

My morning commute, looking at a little bright spot. #photography #goldengate #alcatraz #sfbay 📸 📷

I remember on IRC, when multiple bots joined a channel, it was a horror show, especially if they both had +ops. Which … also reminds me of S4 of Battlestar Galactica - where conscious Cylons had conflict with the navigator in the base ship. Also. Good use of electricity and coal.

I am currently soliciting $100 million in backing for my new AI* company, "ExpertAI," which will reliably provide answers on every subject. * It's not AI, it's literally just grad students paid $40/hour to answer stuff. ** Which will still be cheaper to run than all this bullshit.

I haven't stopped thinking about this since I read it.

Pitch: A Blackberry with tactile keyboard. Text messages, Signal, iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp. Simple browser. But with a 24mp camera w/3 lenses at different focal lengths. Swappable batteries. That’s it. No other apps. No AI. $500. Who’s in? #pitch #techideas #screens #innovation #future

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

One of my cacti🌵 did something really, really unexpected and just mildly inappropriate. It’s like Alien 👽 along with Little Shop of Horrors in my backyard. 📷 📸

oh no shit?

I think we need this on billboards

“we’re not going to have a rapist and felon as president.” just say it! people will cheer!

I love this.

Slow comedown rolling along, still ~135 posts/likes/reposts per second coming through though, wonder if this will last a few hours. My stats page will look interesting tomorrow... Might adjust the default range so the spike is easier to see compared to a normal day.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh The stress.

This seems reasonable and good for America. And also, incidentally, good for polling. Start doing something.

right now, the extent of what democrats can do is hounding and shame, which they should do! biden should condemn the insurrectionist members of the court, durbin and whitehouse should hold hearings and demand that alito and thomas both answer questions before congress. make it a spectacle, basically

It isn’t as clear in the still photos - but the accelerator pedal cover slides off and gets lodged into the footwell, creating permanent “beast mode” that can only be disabled by steering into a trolley or a group of nuns. Or some menu, six levels deep in the touchscreen.

wait for it

Someone spicy was given the WH Twitter account.

@marisakabas.bsky.social recall the DC Sniper admitted he was trying to kill his ex-wife and killed a bunch of other people to hide his true target. Facebook just removed a post from SF Gate (sponsored!) about the headlining musical guest at the Marin County fair this coming summer (En Vogue)

@marisakabas.bsky.social funny (sad?) story. the Reflector story on the Marion raid was pulled from my private FB group for violating cybersecurity policy. It’s been restored - but, since I first read your writings on this topic, I thought you would be interested. kansasreflector.com/2024/04/04/f...

Facebook has blocked Kansas Reflector. Here's what we're doing, and how you can help. • Kansas Reflectorkansasreflector.com This morning, sometime between 8:20 and 8:50 a.m., every post directing to Kansas Reflector's website was removed from Facebook.

Enjoying my commute again today. #sfbay #photography #shotoniphone 📷 📸 📱
