Two that always blow the minds of even 20 year olds I know:
1. Listening to radio with a tape player at the ready to record the moment the song you like started
2. The fact that I literally didn’t a visual idea of my overseas relatives and family conversations were sent on tape by post over months

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

I know either Austin or McEnroe made this comment on the world feed but it really did feel like Anisimova’s final was that incredible match on Thursday.

Iga Swiatek came off from her Roland-Garros ashes to win her first Wimbledon title. That’s what champions do: go back to life at the least expected moments. She went through it this year but when you’re that good and that determined to win.

Every "tech" guy is just a VC guy in a subculture that gets called "tech" for no particular reason. Most real "tech" - like, i dunno, cutting edge materials research - doesn't get called that while "a new pizza delivery app" does
I am going to be so fascinated to read the post-mortem about how a revolt lead by tech billionaires lead to a gutting of both scientific research, university education and immigrant labor, all key prerequisites to the very existence of their industries.
I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff.
"Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

Sabalenka - Raducanu reached à peak audience of 5 million on the BBC, by the way. Someone sends the memo to RG (added to how well Gauff - Sabalenka did too): You can schedule women’s tennis at prime time.

The Canberra model is also probably the one occasion I could tolerate the continued use of a majoritarian voting system - i.e., paired alongside a proportionally elected upper house with actual veto powers.

Some people don't agree with what Greta Thunberg argues. OK. What's depressing are attacks on her because she uses her agency to take principled, non-violent stands on issues in which she believes. It seems that kind of citizenship should be respected regardless of ideology.
