Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...

Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery

Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

Ultimately, when people with power say "violence is unacceptable" - they mean "violence against us is unacceptable", nothing more, nothing less. It foregoes that violence for those with power tends to come from greed, and violence against them tends to come from need.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

Finally getting around to watching X-Men '97. Watched three episodes so far and holy shit. Genuinely blown away by the quality. Who needs live action when we have this?! It’s perfect!

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

I have a really cool technical hiccup(?) for the past two years now where any book I borrow through Libby onto my kindle just stays on it forever??? Like, I return them when I’m done, but they never leave my kindle. I have like 20+ books on it now because of this, lol.
