Randomly this reminds me of a story. When I was in high school (~1990ish), I had seen a Time magazine article that mentioned that in post-Soviet Russia perestroika, that it was possible to buy Russian army surplus night vision goggles for $80. And holy shit did I want a pair. RE:

Thing is, when Mamdani does something early next year that challenges some Trump admin nonsense, you *know* that Trump is going be extra angry and suggest it's a backstabbing, noting how "nice" he was to him in the Oval Office as if that means Mamdani should now agree to all of Trump's demands.

I've interacted with plenty of EU lawmakers recently, and it's not universally true (of course) but it is striking how many seem to take the fact that some companies are bad to mean the entire internet concept was bad. It doesn't need to be! We can build a better internet! RE:

Tragically, I still see them all the time around Silicon Valley. I drove by one the other day with my kid in our car and said "I still can't believe people buy that ugly piece of shit" forgetting that I generally don't curse in front of the kids. But it got a guffaw from the kid, who agreed... RE:

Yes. This. Changing your replies to followers only makes a huge difference for larger accounts. The only "downside" is once a month or so someone who can't read/follow instructions yells "this fucker turned off comments!" at you.
