Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because
a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked
b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Lighting cigarettes in the car with the part of the car specifically made for lighting cigarettes
What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

The chest x-ray use pioneered by Alan Hart continues to be extremely important in screening for tuberculosis. Although no one accomplishes anything in isolation, I'd argue that Hart has helped saved MILLIONS of lives because chest x-rays have been so essential in driving down rates of TB globally.
Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be.
We have always been here.
