I was way deep into the Games Series on my Apple II. The fact that I could combine the events from the original Summer Games into Summer Games II was mind-blowing... although it did require a lot of 5.25 disk swapping and flipping! ("Insert Disc 2 Side B and press RETURN")

👏🚲 "The group decided to collect funds to buy out vendors in Pilsen and Little Village so vulnerable residents could pack up early and avoid federal agents.

Cyclists paid the vendors in cash and then passed out the food to people in need throughout Chicago."

I love that a 1986 #ChooseYourOwnAdventure book noted that Christopher Columbus was a slimeball.

Text from a page discussing Christopher Columbus, highlighting the historical event with an emphasis on the cruelty experienced by indigenous people, specifically the Arawaks, as they are forced into servitude. The passage concludes with "The End."

It’s been incredible to watch the flood of social media posts from #RelativityFest in Chicago this year—especially while moderating the Social Wall. 📸🧡

Pretty sure we’ve hit a new record! 📈

Thanks for sharing your Fest experience with the community! 🙌

No biggie. Just a protest march down the street from #RelativityFest.

Chicago really does have it all!

Also, fascists aren’t welcome here.

For those who celebrate 🎉 Happy 54th to Magic Kingdom 🏰 and 43rd to EPCOT 🌐, two Walt Disney World trash can showrooms since 1971 and 1982.

Magical Trash @magicaltrash.com · 29d

43 years ago, EPCOT Center opened and gave us a vision of the future — including this icon of waste management. 

Sleek. Symmetrical. Stylish. The original Future World trash can didn't just hold garbage — it held promise.

A scenic view in 1983 featuring a waste bin labeled "WASTE PLEASE" beside vibrant red flowers along a waterfront. In the background, there are large white satellite dishes and a cable-stayed bridge above the water under a partly cloudy sky.

@pfrazee.com Hi Paul - I'm working to connect some corporate Bluesky accounts to Hootsuite, which just started supporting the platform. However, per their support, "we currently don't have the option to log-in with an app password, this is an API limitation."

Is this accurate?

Best part: "For its part, the Smithsonian says that it owns the title to Discovery and, as the institution is not part of the federal government, the orbiter is no longer the government's to move."
