I took that quoted photo in November 2002. Those machines were just eight years old and I'd already been collecting a year. Now in the pic below, one of them is at the centre of the retrodesk - a desk that's been turned on almost continuously since I first set it up in 2016 - or for NINE years.

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

An infograph meme quoting a moment from the movie "The Incredibles".

There is black text that reads:
Alright, listen closely. I'd like to help you with the ads, but I can't.
I'd like to tell you to click on the gear icon and select "Report Playback Issue". But I can't.
I also do not advise you to select anything related to how the advertisement is offensive or inappropriate; I wouldn't expect Twitch to do something about the ICE ads if they get flooded with enough reports.

Below, there are images that are as follows:
From left to right, top to bottom.

I'm putting my own dropshipping business plans on hold until the tariffs are changed, unfortunately.

I bought prototypes from several US suppliers and they were just far, far worse quality than what I could get overseas with even minimal searching.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper

Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.

A photo dated 1989 of two guys in comfy plaid check shirts at a pair of crt monitors (black frame with white casing), one pressing buttons on a slanted keyboard that has a bit of a retro feel even for 1989 while the other sports a headset and holding a black box. Vibrant and share schematics of a wind tunnel can be seen on one screen while a blue background with the red NASA worm logo is displayed on the other.

Was curious about what NASA stuff the Internet Archive might have and came across this gorgeous bit of cassette/diskette futurism: wind tunnel software and hardware at the Lewis Research Centre.

The worm logo is so fitting for that kind of display. <3
