🎅 Santa has looked much the same on the page for generations. Preserving periodical covers like this one helps connect how the season ❄️ was pictured then with how we recognize it now.

The AI discourse is deeply tiresome - people who have never carried out original research insisting that scholars with decades of training are just being stubborn by refusing to drink the Kool-Aid.

Show me how AI can materially improve our historical analysis and understanding or shut up...

Have yourself an 8-bitty little Christmas 🎄👾

🎶 Up On the Housetop was performed using two Atari 2600 consoles playing together in stereo 🤯

The full 2003 album celebrates classic retro platforms.

🧵 The toy that owned Christmas 1996? Tickle Me Elmo 😂❤️

This giggling plush turned into a full-blown holiday frenzy. Shoppers weren’t tickled by mobbed stores, empty shelves, & high resale prices.💰️

"The very first question to be considered is the applicability of the Copyright Law to the Moon. "

Thinking ahead (in 1952) about interplanetary copyrights :). if aliens have "Two Heads, Two Authors?"

really fun, worth reading.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!
