Great, now it’s in my head and I have to listen to Lincoln for the millionth time. Thanks a lot

Was going to joke that this made me feel old, but Plastic Beach was literally 15 years ago and in my head that’s still a recent album so joke’s on me

@nickperon.bsky.social This whole thread is legendary 👏

Thanks so much for sharing. While not at all the same situation, emotionally it resonates with my own experience coming out from working on the 2016 Dem campaign. I don’t know if I’ll ever find another team so deeply committed to a shared mission and supporting each other. Always admired 18F a ton.

Shout-out to @danslott.bsky.social and @panelsyndicate.bsky.social for the beautiful issue of Amazing Spider-Man that inspired this post! (ASM 801)

How cool would it have been if it was, like, Spider-Byte or literally anyone else who was actually in the movie? 😭 (I’m sure no one is more disappointed about it than the folks at Insomniac, though.)

Untold Tales of Spider-Man #7 by @kurtbusiek.bsky.social has a fun callback to this when Peter uses “Palmer” as a fake name at the eye doctor 😁

@atproto.com’s PDS repo is so underrated. A generic, authenticated, fully CRUD-capable API for whatever data I want to throw at it? Hosted on my behalf for free with zero setup required? It’s the stuff of dreams for folks who just want to build fun little web apps that actually do things.

Good point! Now that you mention it, the Stark "nano-tech" does behave a lot like the symbiote suit. It's even got some "intelligence" of its own with the AI personality and all.

This feels ideologically pure and correct for well-known entities, but I worry it does very little for normies (complimentary) who don’t own their own website and wouldn’t want their online identity tied to their employer.

Damn, now I feel old 😅
