We released Wolfenstein 3D on this day (May 5th) in 1992. Here's a local television news report about it. What an amazing time that was. #wolfenstein #gamedev #retrogames

I shared in a discord group that my old boss Mayor Turner had died. A friend from New Zealand asked if he was the guy who dressed up for anime conventions.

Hell yeah he was. 🖤

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

Unreal
Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Raise your hand if you live in Houston and have amassed a cache of batteries, candles, flashlights, and other junk because you cannot trust your electricity provider to provide electricity during literally any weather event.

Not sure of the original source of this, but the depiction with the final domino set to crush the pusher is devastatingly accurate.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?

I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser

Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

The worst part of Christmas by far is when you try to open a candy cane but the first plastic wrap gets stubborn and won’t come off so you break the crook.

Hopped in the car and @derekwebb.bsky.social “from your mouth to gods ears” pops on.

Without missing a beat, my 3yo says “I like this song. I sing it in chapel.”

Me too, kid, me too.

My Alma mater has been forced to censor its courses to align with Orwellian mandates.

When I got my sociology degree, one of the most important classes I took was Gender Race & Ethnicity. How the hell do you teach that course without using those words?
‘Race,’ ‘equity’ removed from UNT course titles to comply with Texas DEI ban, faculty say
The University of North Texas changed class titles and descriptions with some citing the state’s DEI ban though officials deny that’s the cause.

Additional context:

"Adding bike lanes to motor vehicle roadways reduces the risk of injury and raises the probability of ridership, which increases physical activity and decreases pollution from the vehicles riders would otherwise be using, they found."
“Every $1,300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”

Bike-lanes are a sound public health investment.

One fun thing about rebuilding your social network is that not only can you avoid the crazy maga guys, but you can also stop following the blue influencers who are always saying things like
“Omg he actually did it this time. HES HOING TO PRISON AND WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS.”

No noise, just vibes.
