Go home, Amazon, you’re drunk.

A screenshot from the Amazon app. The title at the top of the page says “Saks elevated essentials: pieces perfect for every day.” The first product listed is a floor-length satin and feather dress for $1990.

The meme of Woody Harrelson crying into a handful of money with the caption, “PHP developers when someone says ‘PHP is dead’”

I remember being told in the early 2000s that PHP was a toy language and if I were serious about professional development, I should switch to a "serious" language.

in 20 years, the most extreme, reactionary, "return to tradition" masculinity influencer is going to adopt this uniform and you'll have to calmly explain that this was once considered non-traditional

Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård shows up for the London premiere of his new movie “Pillion." He's wearing a sleeveless white dress shirt with a black leather necktie and black leather pants with metal grommets down the crotch. He's also wearing black leather boots. A black motorcycle is behind him.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Three young bears ran right across the road in front of us in Gatlinburg. (I’m sure mama’s not far, but we didn’t see her). 😍

Three black bears, not full grown but each at least the size of a Great Dane, running across a street with trees and greenery off to the side.

Just passed a church with the sign “sus is the answer.” I guess he really is Among Us. 🤣

It’s time for a pit stop on this drive, so as I grab some caffeine I leave you with: Mountain Dew Baja Blast came out in 2004, making it nearly 5 times as old as the Confederacy.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

I spent five years in undergrad (started at age 16 and switched majors about a dozen times), so I was attending pep rallies for the Binghamton Bearcats for longer than the Confederates were rallying the troops.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

I’ve been meaning to scrape the parking decal from the last apartment I lived in off of my car for longer than the Confederacy was around.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

An IUD lasts longer than the Confederacy.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

Star Trek: TNG, Voyager, Deep Space 9, Discovery, and Lower Decks each aired - and showed us visions of a more tolerant future - for longer than the Confederacy was getting its ass kicked for being racist and treasonous.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

Barack Obama’s presidency lasted almost twice as long as the Confederacy, bitches.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

My dog, Luna, will be 4 this month, making her just *barely* younger than the confederacy. (You better expect birthday photos soon, though)

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

I’ll have been working at my current company in various roles for 5 years this December, meaning I’ve already been there 7 months longer than the Confederacy existed.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

Figma’s public release was in 2016, so it’s more than twice the Confederacy’s age as well. Before that, Sketch came out in 2010, making it nearly 4 times as old as the Confederacy.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

For my fellow web nerds, React.js first came out in 2013 (making it almost 3x as old as the Confederacy), and PHP major version 8.0 was released in 2020, so it’s older than the Confederacy as well.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

We’ve all been dealing with the existence of COVID-19 since late 2019 / early 2025, over 5 years… yep, the ‘Rona is older than the confederacy.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

A Dance With Dragons came out in 2011, meaning that as of now George R R Martin has theoretically been working on The Winds of Winter for at least 14 years, more than 3 times as long as the Confederacy lasted.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

Breaking Bad aired for 5 years, almost a year longer than the Confederacy existed.

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

Nirvana lasted from 1987 to 1994 (7 years, almost 3 years longer than the Confederacy).

Abby Milberg @abbymilberg.com · 19d

Super excited for my little weekend getaway to Gatlinburg, but the drive there keeps taking me past fucking Confederate flags, so it’s time for another edition of THINGS THAT LASTED LONGER THAN THE CONFEDERACY.

For reference, the Confederacy lasted from Feb 1861 to May 1865, just over 4 years.

Leg room, no contest. (I check a bag maaaaybe 1 trip out of 10)
