I'm very lucky to still have mine -- An Atari 400. My dad built an external keyboard from an 800 kbd mechanism. He also upgraded its RAM to... well.... 48kB. 😁

Now I heard there was a tiny box
Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch
And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
I got lucky. Well... except that I'll probably be kidnapped on Earth. At least a couple of them can come rescue me

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"
