Totally fair point. I learned a lot of important skills and I don't mean to imply it was a waste of time. I only meant that hypercard was an example of a tool that claimed to revolutionize efficiency but was actually Apple failing to market and monopolize data organization

People in the early 90s thought it was a good idea to teach elementary school kids hypercards because it was "the future." People are dumb.

I kinda worry that the framework around dissemination is so right coded that any attempt to use it for opposition just gets lost in the noise, regardless of the platform

If you think cuts to funding science is somehow caught up in the β€œculture wars that have nothing to do with science,” you are missing the point. The entire project of education as a public good is under threat, and a threat to one university is a threat to all. We have to stand together #UCLAResist

I am so tired of us fighting. We are all fucked up because we are all people dealing with horrible amounts of trauma. I don’t wanna see us all attacking each other when the world is attacking us too.

Tonight, please spare a thought to all our scientists and public health workers who have dedicated their careers to saving millions of lives.

Despite their amazing work they are constantly threatened due to politicization and the unfettered spread of misinformation.

It should not be like this πŸ’”

As we all know all games are judged solely on revenue intake. No other metric is worth considering. To The Moon not making as much as Call of Duty makes it a miserable piece of shit

Trump seeking $1-billion fine from UCLA over antisemitism allegations The Trump administration has proposed the University of California pay more than $1 billion to settle antisemitism charges and restore frozen grant funding at UCLA.

They better put up a fight. Settling a bogus lawsuit claiming β€œantisemitism” was ill-advised.

This is extortion. Enough. @governor.ca.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov

"it wouldn't have been as bad!" Fuck outta here. It's bad now and you wanna tsk tsk the people in the cross hairs? And I say this as someone who plugged my nose and voted for Kamala

Pontificating whether Kamala would've been a lesser evil feels like the height of naval gazing. It adds nothing except an opportunity to feel smug. Usually at the expense of the mountains of real dead people outside your window

It's truly a "seen one, you've seen them all". Only difference what flavor of British character actor you like. Are you a Jacobi man? Or do you prefer to Dance with Charles?

I'll learn to love blue again, no worries there.

And yeah Vacancy totally rips in my memory. I kinda preferred that over The Strangers as far as execution.

Overall I think the Resident Evil movies are better versions of Underworld and have more merit. I'd gladly rewatch any of those again. Well, maybe not apocalypse (nemesis looks so bad) or the last one

Our long national nightmare is over. I have completed watching the underworld series. This was a terrible mistake and I plan to never do it again
