Tonight I remembered that William Shatner "wrote" Tekwar. And they made a TV show.

Yes if only I could go back in time and put body cameras on each brownshirt…

The data has been turned into a searchable tool on HaveIBeenFlocked.com. It says it has data on more than 2.3 million license plates and tens of millions of Flock searches. Flock responded to this by threatening the site and by limiting info the public can get via public records requests.

My pet theory is that the outage cut the connection to the cars from the live safety monitors in India and so the cars just halt. Nothing to do with traffic lights.

Una muestra de que se puede regular el alquiler para que las familias trabajadoras no vean sus ingresos aspirados por una élite rentista. Lo siguiente es prorrogar los más de 600.000 contratos que finalizan en los próximos meses. www.eldiario.es/catalunya/ca...

I don’t think many people appreciate the sheer genius of “Who Let the Dogs Out”

this video has become very important to me

THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

How do I become a professional family transer?

I think it’s wild that: a) Microsoft bought a media company, MSNBC, in 1996 b) even though Microsoft divested from MSNBC in 2005(!) the company has kept the “MS” part of their name, and now goes by MSNOW

It turns out Alejandro Jodorowsky, the famed director of The Holy Mountain and of an aborted attempt to film Dune (later taken over by David Lynch), is also somehow an expert on tarot and an author? And he published a restored Tarot de Marseille deck? bookwyrm.social/user/aster/r...

Very nice news to wake up to. There’s a whole marathon ahead!

Maybe the way we make AI less toxic is that we only allow it to ask questions and never give answers. As long as they’re not rhetorical questions.

I was giving a lecture and keynote wasn’t playing my video and instead of restarting my computer, I spent 10 min telling students about how often times file types are just secretly zip files and if you rename a .key to .zip you can just open it up and find a video and play it using any video player

Rummy rummy rummy I’ve got cards in my tummy

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Imagine if the US had just rebranded universal healthcare as a “loyalty program” like frequent flier miles. You earn ”health points” for every day you live in the US that you can spend on “health rewards”. People would eat that shit up

I love to see this! I also love that anywhere I am in Barcelona, I can usually hail a taxi quickly. It was sad to see the death of taxis in Chicago and frustrating to find a cab in Chicago only to have the driver refuse to use the meter and charge Uber rates www.catalannews.com/politics/ite...

Either I’m really grounding into the Spanish speed of life or I’m just old because I’m really into this downtempo/balearic beat

Oh gawd

I honestly liked the look of Sagrada Familia better without the central spire when I saw it 13y ago

I saw a man wander out into a bike lane while looking at his phone and get run over by a cyclist on a bicing. This happened 7m from me. I'm pretty sure he will have a concussion. Be careful out there! I think that goes double for cyclists. They are the ones with the most "power" in these situations

i constantly think about this post

It’s interesting to me how Spanish writing tells you so much about how to pronounce things. There’s ¿ which says “intone as a question” and ‘ which tells you which syllable to emphasize and ñ which tells you to pronounce it “ny”. English is just like “here are some letters good luck!”

I had one of these until the CCD went on the fritz and turned everything a shade of pink. It had a larger CCD which supposedly meant clearer photos plus a carl-zeiss lens and one of the first IR/laser auto focuses. Basically a higher grade point and shoot. But yeah the pivoting body was pretty silly

"If we die, let us know that we are happy and firm, and let us transmit in our name that we are real people..."

I resent that I am still subjected to the audacity of busibody Americans spreading harmful misinfo even when living in Europe & from a stranger (she said we met at an event) in an unsolicited DM, too. 🤦 For the 1,000th time, you can still receive SSDI benefits while living abroad (in most cases).

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

As climate change gets worse, everyone should take a page out of Spain’s book. In the hottest weeks introduce shorter work weeks, entire months off. Reduce activity to keep people cool AND generate less CO2. Live in the present moment. Take a nap. Heal from capitalism.

Yes very bomb
