A good way to spend your Friday night is eating halloumi tacos and watching the Lilith Fair documentary on Hulu.

But why DO we all remember our ICQ numbers?

This morning I left my freshly-made coffee on the counter when I left the house but I can still rattle off 15446973 without even thinking.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

a lot of you haven't rewatched firefly recently and it shows, in the sense that you probably shouldn't rewatch it ever if you want to keep thinking it was good. it was a mass delusion that i also participated in but in my defense i hadn't started reading feminist blogs yet at the time.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It’s doing a Bay Area swing right now, including a showing on Saturday at the Roxie in SF that Fiona Prine will be at.

No Help and Few Options for Travelers Stranded by Mideast Conflict

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

The most valuable outlets in the world going forward are going to be the ones that try to help people understand the world we’re all living in.

Honestly speed it up, so we can separate the slop mills from the places that slow down and let humans do real reporting and investigations again.

Like just say you don’t like the act of journalism. Just say that! It’s ok to just say that!

Kinda weird to be running one of the world’s longest-lasting and most mainstream journalism outlets if you don’t, but that’s a separate issue.

Words have value and the only way you’re going to have readers is if they understand that you also understand this how can the ASSOCIATED FREAKING PRESS OF ALL PEOLE NOT UNDERSTA [walks into sea]

Filling readers’ feeds with nonsensical slop is not the journalism time-saver that these folks think it is!
