This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

I’ve got it! If you don’t clear your sidewalk you’re required to host ACPS kid(s) while they do (a)synchronous learning. The longer your sidewalk remains uncleared, the more you’re required to host.
Yeah I'm trying to think of what might be an incentive to people who shrug off fines.

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Each time I point out that the Republican platform is simple (they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it), a few people think I'm exaggerating, and usually some small number of people think I'm being sardonic or something. I mean it quite literally.

“Community, common sense, and Signal” is my new mantra.
If the civil rights movement could overcome J. Edgar Hoover and the anti-war movement could overcome J. Edgar Hoover AND James Angleton (MH/CHAOS), I promise that those seeking to defend the Republic today can confound Bondi’s DOJ and Noem’s DHS.
Community, common sense, and Signal go a long way.
