the funniest thing about this is that those of us who grew up in the divide all have a bunch of pre-cell phone numbers memorized and almost none afterwards

I know the home phone numbers of two of my childhood best friends from thirty years ago and none of the cell numbers of my college friends

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

California finally said enough is enough. Governor Newsom just signed the first law in the nation that forces AI companies to take responsibility for what their chatbots say and do.

No more excuses, no more hiding behind code. This changes the game. Read here.👇

And is Apple TV going to actually market their shows?

Apple has rebranded its streaming service Apple TV+ to Apple TV — which is the same name as its connected smart TV product.

“Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV, with a vibrant new identity,” the company announced on Monday.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!
A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

That aggregator account is particularly infuriating. A few days ago, I called it out for lifting video sans credit, date, and ID of person shot. They included almost no info!

People need to stop sharing that account's posts, and all the other creepy aggregators too. They're just rip-off artists.

As usual, Tennessee Holler lifts video without crediting creator. No location or date. No ID of person shot in the head w/less lethals. All findable!

By removing context, Tennessee Holler damages activism and makes misinfo more likely.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?
A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

I get it.

For me, Gaiman will never get a recommendation because I was a huge fan and my toxic parasocial admission is the betrayal felt personal to me.
sweordbora.hausen.com
I always do this introducing Asimov. I still find his works worth a read but always mention that he abused his superstar status to behave like a jerk to female fans.

Whedon is also difficult, yes. But not that important to me.

Gaiman can go screw himself because I so believed he was a good one.

No. No. No.

(Nothing against Steven, I used to do this too until I learned that it was a bad idea.)

Swim goggles hit by a projectile (like a tear gas canister or pepper ball) can direct force to the area around your eyeball and pop it out of your skull.

NOT desirable.
thrasherxy.bsky.social
Pro tip to reporters and protesters: always have swim goggles in your pockets or bags. They’re small, $10 and if tear gas is used, slip them on & no matter how much you cough, you’ll still be able to SEE without burning eyes.

There are 4 Terry Pratchett characters here. Whoever slapped this together doesn't understand those characters.

And The Doctor is very much the opposite of non-violent. The series occasionally calls The Doctor out on his bullshit.

I'm not "hating" besieged #IL government; on the contrary, I have gratitude for the way the situation is being spoken against, especially compared to our neighbor states.

Now if those strong statements were backed up by strong resistance by state leadership ( #Pritzker, #Durbin, #Duckworth, etc.)

Throughout the state and particularly in Chicagoland, there have been many protests.

Including protests coordinated by local groups not the big name national groups.

He still could've said no regarding the state police. State police have other responsibilities that local departments don't have.

Other departments from the suburbs and sheriffs are there.

With the state police at Broadview, Pritzker now owns the violence they do there. He needs to be smarter

Extremely funny that people think this is now a Pritzker hate account when all we've been doing is documenting the same police violence we've been documenting well before this ICE surge

Sorry for disrupting your worldview. Welcome to what cops are!!!

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.
