I saw a movie called Sneakers in 1992 (the same year the World Wide Web was invented) and I think about this scene all the time.

Pretty much sums it all up, doesn't it?

This is Tellen. She went to work with her human today. The only agenda item on her calendar is dropping toys in the hallway until someone plays with her. 14/10

Do a PacMan version were the windows are the dots.
JetBlue is out with yet another special livery, this time with Nintendo on N561JB. Why? "To bring ‘Super Star’ smiles to customers' faces."

I'll take it!

RIGHT ACROSS from the Friendship Heights station, the old Chadwick’s which is now Aura and wow a huge space with the longest bar I’ve seen in this area.

It’s not busy at all and that’s a shame. Should be 2-3 deep at the bar by now. What a cool space. I met regular Liz, coming here since 1985.

I can’t tell if it’s Blade Runner or Logan‘s Run or A Clockwork Orange or even 2OO1: A Space Odyssey, but these Washington DC Metro stations are jaw-dropping sci-fi.

Post you from another era.

1977. Star Wars was our lives.

Arthur C. Clarke on Stanley Kubrick: “When I met Stanley for the first time, he had already absorbed an immense amount of science fact and science fiction, and was in some danger of believing in flying saucers; I felt I had just arrived in time to save him from this gruesome fate.”

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

Whiz Kids (1983) was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Way way ahead of its time, as exemplified by this 10 second scene. 🤣

Meanwhile, some jackass was illegally flying a drone over the Los Angeles Palisades Fire and the FAA reports it was struck by a firefighting aircraft.

As if it isn’t dangerous enough for these crews…
There's a crazy amount of aerial firefighting equipment up over the LA fires right now, way more than I can select at once on FR24.

Aircraft ranging from Bell 505 helicopters to Chinooks to MD-87 fire tankers.

Saw a video of nurses at an L.A. hospital, without power, work together as a team in the stairwell to make sure all the meal trays could travel up multiple floors in an assembly line fashion, so they could be delivered to patients.

Current mood with all that’s going on in LA. I feel so bad for everyone who have lost everything. 🥺

Very thankful for the hard work of the firefighters under terrible conditions, and for the firefighters coming in now from out of state.

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

Everything you wanted to know about ancient Egypt and wanted to have a BLAST doing it. Including how hieroglyphics sound like to speak and the bent pyramid, which they were still figuring out how to build them right!

Thank you Dr. Bestock!

The alleys of Washington DC are wonderful, but in the winter even more so.

The super cozy bar at Tabbard Inn in Washington DC. Fireplace is around the corner and lots of people huddled around it. I biked here and wiped out once in the snow but didn’t fall!
