Physical media is dying and I HATE it
Everything being digital and not actually OWNING what you pay for is absolute BS.
- Consoles being sold without disc drives
- PC’s don’t have Disc drives anymore
- Games and movies not getting Physical releases
We are sacrificing physical art for the sake of a little connivence and it feels like only a very small group of people care.
BUY PHYSICAL MEDIA/ART!!

@remreader93 Yes! Although when stock runs low I can't 100% guarantee the plus one will be the secret, but as long as they're still in stock it will be 💛

Reporters: Conditions don’t magically become safer when the camera is rolling. Please keep your mask and goggles on, they are vital for protecting your health in this dangerous environment. It is also critical to set a good example for everyone watching.

I keep getting questions about this. Here is my rec for hierarchy of masks for wildfires (worst to best)
--> N95
--> N100
--> P100 (the P designation means resistant to oil)
--> P100+organic vapor (all the prior ones only capture particles, not gas-phase toxics. If you're frontline reporter/responder, this is what you should be wearing)
Joseph Allen@j_g_allen
Reminder that N95s are great for capturing particles but do not capture gas-phase toxics in wildfires (and urban wildfires have higher toxicity.) Grateful for this reporter's efforts - not trying to make an example - but just wish workers in harms way are given appropriate PPE. (also - get out of there and be safe)

Since LA is on fire and part of the south is frozen, I think it’s a good time to remind everyone or tell for the first time that ChatGPT and other forms for AI are contributing to the rapid warming of our planet.

Seems important that in Fahrenheit 451, books were still “available” in single-paragraph summaries—“read Hamlet in five minutes!”—but the books themselves had been banned for being too difficult. Tech boosters see a warning and think it’s an instruction manual.

Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt I got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred actually teach much?
