Tambora also caused bicycles, and (my guess) maybe being born in the year without summer had something to do with Ada Lovelace being chronically ill? Causing computers? Also modern scifi/horror was born with Frankenstein, lake Geneva. Big volcano 💥

Trump ordered a federal death squad to assassinate Mike Reinoehl in 2020. Trump and Barr bragged about the assassination publicly. No Democratic politician ever even *tried* to hold them accountable for the murder.

It's a vaguely sad or nostalgic feeling to see two people in conversation being this lucid and coherent in this bad trip of an era. Recommend nonetheless www.youtube.com/live/I0kvjNh...

periodically I look around at the state of the internet and the way it is clearly contributing to making the world worse in so many ways, and I think back to dicking around in a computer lab in the early 00s and how full of promise it all felt, and I feel sad

it didn't have to be this way

Fondly remembering this scene today, after some prominent scum invoked buck breaking. It's always the lowest of us whites who put most stock in our supposed supremacy. Funny that

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.

I blogged about it here:
