Jon Jones

Since I'm frequently confused with @Jonnybones, I made a public PSA with my friend @betweenpictures explaining how I'm not the UFC fighter, and how I train for UFC events: youtube.com/watch?v=dltsW3…

Happy 30th anniversary to Quake, a game that changed my life. Dug out my original copy. Same box, manual, and disc I've had since 1996. Three decades later I'm still amazed I got to be part of its history. I wonder how many millions of flags got captured in those decades.

Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground (1996)

This has been a rough month for the free internet in America: * Court losses in the Fifth and Sixth Circuits over age-verification laws * A renewed push in Congress to restrict internet access * Internet companies retreating from the fight, e.g., Meta on KOSA * Growing public support for regulating the internet and AI Much of this energy is ostensibly aimed at protecting kids. But the net effect will be to restrict and chill internet access for adults, too. If lawmakers get their way, the internet could soon become a veritable fortress, where everyone has to verify their identity multiple times before accessing lawful content: first through their operating system, then when downloading apps, and then again when using those apps. That would have profound consequences for privacy and free speech. I don’t think people appreciate how dramatically this could change their online experience, or the risks it poses to their civil liberties. The internet’s early defenders — EFF, the Cypherpunks, and many others — fought to keep this medium from becoming a permissioned space controlled by governments and gatekeepers. Thirty years later, that fight is back with a vengeance.

You’d think this is a joke. It is not.

JUDY GARLAND died this date - June 22, 1969. A few days later this very moving Letter To The Editor appeared in our local newspaper and I have never forgotten it. It is anonymous, so I can't credit the writer (she's probably gone now) but I post it every year. #JudyGarland

I know we all think our dad was the coolest, but my dad was the engineer behind the inflatable flailing tube man. I miss him so much but I’m reminded of him every time I pass by a car dealership. He was the coolest.

seriously be careful out there everyone i had 2 Microsoft Copilot licenses in my car, and someone broke in and left 4 more

probably nothing

Most embarrassing?

Happy Father’s Day

Nothing has changed - everything has changed. The world's first cat clip ever from 1899. "Little girl and cat" by the well known French Lumiere brothers. Colorized and speed adjusted.

These crypto dorks actually sponsor him and still get the @ wrong, and now my mentions are filling with contest entries.

just learned two things from a pair of bengali guys in the gym changing room: 1. it is possible to passionately disagree about the subject of air fryers 2. there is no bengali word for air fryer
