The latest in my history of home computers is live. Covers the era of Commodore, Atari and Jack Tramiel.

He was a brutal manager. But also an Auschwitz survivor, and that shaped him, and his legit drive to build a better world.

This warning from him hit home, right now.

Puerto Ricans dancing on electrical poles is about as big a political statement you could make at a Super Bowl halftime show. The only way that could have been more explicit is if Bad Bunny started tossing rolls of paper towels to the dancers

At a current time in which merely speaking Spanish in public in the US can literally get you arrested deported or killed, the site of such a joyous celebration of Spanish-speaking culture as fun, inclusive and fundamentally AMERICAN was in its own way deeply and rightly political.
Damn that was great! 🇵🇷

I love that every ad agency pitched "AI de-aged celebs" for super bowl ads. And they all thought they were being clever.

My advice to young people is to marry someone who enjoys playing JRPG fishing minigames. So that you don't have to.

The Super Bowl is basically the Super Bowl for people who feel the need to loudly and repeatedly announce how much they don't care about the Super Bowl

Looking to shift these as well, on the basis that I've gleaned all I can from them.

Will bung them on eBay in the next day or two.

The entire right wing relies on the British public not understanding:

1) Tax brackets
2) Inheritance tax
3) Inflation

And it works. Every time.

Looking forward to the big rush of posters later replying to my Super Bowl shitposts to tell me they hate football.

Joke's on you: I've been a Giants fan for over twenty years. I hate football too.

I’m so grateful that Starfleet Academy is deeply queer so that I don’t have to pretend to love* DISCO just for its queerness

* I don’t hate DISCO, it had its moments, but the queerness was definitely inflating the grade
