U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors

As networks reportedly cut back on lgbtqi+ characters in response to Trump we have this viewership for a show with a lesbian fantasy romance novelist main charracter and Heated Rivalry, adapted from a gay hockey romance series, as the number 1 show on HBO.
It's a hit! It just surpassed Severance S2 as most watched Apple TV series in their brief history.

Not to mention the cable modems that so many people have to use for home internet.
Though I suppose a significant number of those are getting bundled up into bad routers that the cable companies rent for too much money.

The irony is that modems still exist, they're just part of your phone instead of the thing you stick your phone on or attach to it
Neuromancer throws me off now a bit whenever they refer to modems

@techconnectify.bsky.social Gosh, I remember using MacTheRipper on my old iMac. (And Handbrake to reencode for my iPod to use with the composite AV cable.)
Also, thanks for the DS9 info! We've been planning on picking those up, so now I know. Though we already have VOY on the new release.

We were online in a game with a friend when my husband, who does not consume alcohol, informed us that he was going to go get a "stronger drink".
When I asked him what that meant, he replied, "Chocolate milk!"

In the early part of the 20thC, the Swiss artist Hans Emmenegger began making recurrent themes of enigmatic, dark forest interiors, exploring the optical effects of light and colour. This work was painted in 1933.
