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.

This is my Christmas gift to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community of Bluesky—an article about Columbia Hall, or as it was more known 'Paresis Hall', aswell as an illustration. I may have completely forgotten about it, but I don't remember seeing this anywhere; I found this whilst flipping through papers.

This is quite a thing from the people who brought you a copyright extension act that strains the rule against perpetuities. Actual human artists can't tell stories with your characters for decades to come, but Sam Altman's toy can put them into porn, no problem.

It has always been this - there is no intention to change the system. The massive build up of arms, the cruel and inhumane detention of refugees, the steady rise in xenophobia, even the genocide in Gaza - all of it is meant to normalise crushing force, crushing dissent, to preserve the status quo.
You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

The real reason why Bluesky is failing so bad at moderation is simply because they're scared of congressional investigations by Republicans and having to spend millions on lawyers they they don't have to defend against it. It's all political and about self preservation.

As more and more people are arrested by the feds in DC on BS charges for interfering with federal goons, I think it's going to be important to run a public campaign calling for mass jury nullification, both in grand juries and petty juries. Make it impossible for them to bring charges or convict.

Homelessness is a primary contradiction of capitalism. Homeless people are easy to dehumanize & blame. Their visibility in urban areas makes them convenient scapegoats to justify far-right policies. It’s important we highlight the structural causes of homelessness & support our homeless neighbors.
