[taking an MRI] ok now do a silly one

Some cannot conceive of a world without corporate backing.

Some think they're somehow safer to linger in near anonymity as if that somehow protects them, or grants them reach, or influence.

It is, after all, the only world they know.

Let them go.
Plant seeds.
Tend gardens.

Tom Kurtz, who co-invented BASIC—probably the piece of software that has meant the most to me—has died at age 96. When it turned 50 ten years ago, I wrote a VERY long article about why it was so important, and I’m very grateful that he helped with it. RIP. https://time.com/69316/basic/

Happy birthday to the amazing electronic music pioneer *and* transgender trailblazer Wendy Carlos!

sure sex is great but have you ever turned off an IBM PC AT by throwing the big red switch and been absolutely, supremely confident that all computing has now ceased and will not resume just because the operating system gets peckish for some midnight updates

Nut fact for 13 Nov:

There are two varieties of almond - sweet and bitter almonds. Sweet almonds are edible, but bitter almonds contain significantly higher levels of a compound, amygdalin, which can convert to cyanide when the almonds are eaten

I’m sorry but I’m not interested in election fraud conspiracy theories.

I don’t think that’s moving us forward. And I don’t think it’s a good idea to go down the same road of saying we somehow lost votes on the same ballots we won races on.

Pennsylvania, for example, has very secure elections. Nothing to be gained here.

You could go help someone who needs help or something instead.

I can't argue with that.

God I love 'Halcyon and on and on' and unreasonable amount.

2020: It looks like Fox News might finally give up on Trump.

2024: Trump has given Fox News the nuclear codes.

Called it.
