I don't think that timeline is correct. America Online began using that name in 1989 name before it was even an Internet service.

I'm old enough to have logged on to BBSes as a kid and I get like the term was online?

"Bring the engines online" is an old usage as well.

But you didn't think you'd end up with pi on your face, huh?

Diagram showing the evolutionary relationships among tinamous, a group of superficially partridge-like birds more closely related to ostriches and emus.

In 2E Spelljammer (no idea about the 5e version), elves grew living plant ships. Probably won't work if your group already has an airship, but it's the first thing I thought of.

Cornell University to pay $60M in deal with Trump admin to restore federal funding Cornell University has agreed to pay $60 million and accept the Trump administration’s interpretation of civil rights laws in order to restore federal funding and end investigations into the Ivy Leagu...

Cancelled my Cornell Labs membership and Birds of the World subscription. Hope all of you do the same and we send Cornell University a strong message that discrimination will not be tolerated. 🪶

Birders, please stop funding Cornell immediately. No donations or subscriptions. There are other organizations that help birds and don't commit violence against trans people.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while our lawsuit makes its way through the courts.

This decision undermines the freedom of transgender, non-binary, and intersex people to have our IDs reflect who we are.

(For two people, though. I have two mugs in the morning and my partner has one.)

I go through over 4 bags a month and that's just for morning coffee. 😅

The moon is at perigee.

Yay!

Republicans haven't won a statewide US Senate Election in Georgia since 2016.

And, I mean, that just reflects the coverage. Local news has mostly all died and social media has done nothing to replace it. You'll only hear about NYC or national elections, not your own town.

I don't know of anyone who follows their own local elections as much as they do NYC even though the one they don't know anything about will affect them and the one they know everything about won't.

If you want to discover the horrifying consequences of the death of all local media throughout the US, ask pretty much anyone at all (including you who are reading this) for their knowledge and opinions about the NYC mayoral election tomorrow and then ask the same about their own local elections.

They're fascists.

You're being gross by spreading propaganda that billionaires use to not pay their labor a fair wage. Scab, be gone!

There are absolutely zero small market teams in MLB and it's gross to suggest there are.

The Royals are not a small market team. That's absurd and gross. The Kansas City Metro area has over 2 million people and the Royals are valued at 1.3 billion dollars what are your even talking about

this is an anti-labor sentiment that has been constantly perpetuated in narratives so that owners can cry poor when clearly there's no way a goddamn billion dollar team can say they're poor they literally have valuations at over a billion dollars

the myth of a "small market" MLB team is a justification provided by owners so that they can try to legitimize having a smaller payroll when every fucking MLB team is valued at over $1 billion. how the FUCK can any of these teams be small market. USE YOUR FUCKING BRAINS READ A GODDAMN ECON BOOK

Two dozen protestors for a city the size of Boston is honestly pathetic. Good on y'all for being there, but deep shame on Boston which is apparently 99.9% MAGA nazis now.

Made a top 10 list of why I stopped watching MLB since 2020 and ended up with 11 reasons

They spend more money on players' salaries than all the other billionaire team owners and somehow this makes them bad.

Also they win a lot.

Being his own DH is so maddening, especially for a National League team. Just play a position when you're done pitching. Incorporation and support got gambling is worse, but it's truly impressive how many things MLB did to drive me away for good.

People use SNAP benefits to buy food. More people qualify for SNAP benefits than get them. The program is well regulated and fraud is extremely low (and more likely to come from officials or businesses.) SNAP money helps local economies. This is all backed up by tons of research and data.

Hot rotisserie chicken isn't racially coded so they wouldn't care.

The filibuster is not written into law. It's just a Senate rule. Senate rules can be changed with 50 votes.

No algorithm told me. It took me pulling up the Wikipedia entry after thinking about it tonight. Wild.
