I was just looking at AOL’s ownership history, and it seems impossible now that AOL bought Time Warner and not the other way around
In 2001, at the height of its popularity, it purchased the media conglomerate Time Warner in the largest merger in US history. AOL shrank rapidly thereafter, partly due to the decline of dial-up and rise of broadband.

I hate the new safari UI *so* much. If you go to settings - apps - safari, you can change it. I switched from compact to top, and it’s still way too translucent, but it’s better than it was

The 1989 Batman
The movie poster for the 1989 Batman. There is a black and gold Batman logo against a black background, with the word Batman in big block letters. At the bottom is the standard list of names involved in the movie

This box is so surprised
A cardboard box where the handle and two holes on the side look like a very alarmed face.

Just don’t look. Don’t engage - just block JD Vance and move on
A screenshot from the Simpsons. Huge Kent brockman and a sentient neon cowboy are towering over the town, and the people are singing “just don’t look. Just don’t look”

They are such ridiculous dogs.
A pit in a fuzzy sweater laying patiently waiting with a treat balanced on each paw A pit snuggled up on the couch. His head is on a pillow, and he is tucked in under the blanket, obviously.

In Philly we get this gem

I didn’t even notice the line of #crows in the background until after I took this one.

@ismh86.net look what my neighbors were recycling the other day! I resisted the urge to trashpick a 30 year old powerbook box (obviously because it was empty)

Facebook marketplace: just when I thought you couldn't get any more annoying, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!
A jouch for sale for $1000. If you’re picturing a couch with a hand-sewn cover made from patches of varying shades of denim, you’re right!

We experienced this recently, and it might be the sweetest substance on the planet. They took regular trix, and filled it with icing. It is an assault on the senses. It is so sweet, our older tried one bite and said “I can’t believe I’m saying this…but it’s too much for me”
A photo of a box of Trix Loaded (with vanilla creme filling). The box art is as much of an experience as the taste. The graphic design team clearly had fun with this one

Realizing how easy we had it when this was the only social media we had to worry about
Two folded paper notes like we used to pass in class in high school. One is folded into a triangle labeled “top secret”, and the other is a rectangle labeled “pull here” with an arrow pointing to a tab of paper

I just saw this on threads. Looks like Zuck is worried about his metrics!
