…i work with mostly first and second-generation immigrants from all over the world, and a common pattern i’ve noticed among established first-generation immigrants is strong anti-immigrant sentiment; a little bit that they emmigrated to get away from those people, a little bit f*ck-you-i-got-mine…

…that was a significant theme in 2061: oddysey three…

…if there’s one thing bob and doug mckenzie taught me, it’s that time stamps are very difficult to fake…

…the disinformation sphere is real, man: learn from our failure and do what you can to save yourselves before it drags you down, too…the problem won’t go away on its own and will take some hard decisions and harder actions against laissez-faire propaganda…

…gay space communism FTW!..

…today i told a coworker that i was listening to the transformers soundtrack because transformers rule and i also have a huge transformers collection because transformers totally rule, and he sent me that emoji in response…

…maybe he’ll do the world a favor and step into an industrial shredder…

(shame about his genetic legacy, but hopefully all their mothers are mostly good people who give them a fighting chance at turning out well)

…call a spade a spade: the executive branch is a russian asset and anyone who’s convinced otherwise is embracing willful ignorance…

THEN YOU ARE LOST, ANAKIN!

…we’ve all violated national security oaths and SCIF protocol?..yeah, no…

…this is just staging plausible deniability for the russian asset…

…back in the CRT era i needed at least a 72Hz refresh rate to not feel any discomfort; that doesn’t exactly correlate with framerates on modern LCD displays but i think it’s a good proxy for the threshold of general perceptiblity…

…are greater framerates smoother?..sure, especially in my peripheral vision, but 72 FPS is generally good-enough beyond which returns start diminishing…

…trump’s trivially manipulated: the next four years are china’s best shot and they know it…

…NCSA mosaic won the web, absolutely; in truth i think it gave a lot of us an excuse to upgrade from terminals and shell accounts…

…i remember going to our computer lab in the early nineties and seeing a flyer about this new protocol called the world wide web, thinking to myself in what way is that better than gopher?..

…well he’s not…

…we had spoons, they were broken; i text-message my mom a couple times per year on christmas and mother’s day…

…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…

…dreamworks published the DVD without english subtitles, instead providing only descriptive closed captions…

…it’s an amazing film but the closed captions were a terribly compromised viewing experience, poor enough to tank DVD sales and put the film into distribution purgatory under the terms of dreamworks’ original contract…
