Special shouts out to @cherylrofer.bsky.social's patience and @ihazrabies.bsky.social who can now buy more uranium glass.

Fiestaware & Uranium Glass - Funranium Labs
TL;DR version - It's perfectly safe to possess Fiestaware & uranium glass in your home and to consume food or drink that isn't acidic with/from/on intact specimens. If you have broken glass or ceramic...

“Barlow’s distaste for regulation combined with an early sense that the internet would change the world (and thus should be defended from the government by the people who use it) likely helped lay the groundwork for the unhinged growth of the corporate walled gardens we have today.”

it’s funny to be accused of supporting mass surveillance when cyberlibertarianism helped create the most comprehensive global surveillance system known to humanity — built out by the private sector, not the government. it needs to be dismantled, and that means upending the internet as we know it.
For decades, internet politics has been shaped by a cyberlibertarian perspective that obsessed about government while enabling the corporate dystopia we live in today.
If we want a better internet, we must abandon that perspective and reclaim sovereignty over digital technology.

The more I think about it the more I think that Baldur’s Gate 3 was the best thing to happen to videogames in a decade, not just because it was good, but because of how many good videogames we’re going to be getting 3-4 years from now because everyone saw it’s success
