I love how this is the second year in a row North Carolina has had its tower lightings, The Rockefeller center has had its Christmas Tree lighting, and @thetsarkhan.bsky.social has had his Christmas tree decorating live stream on the same night.

These platforms have main character syndrome, they forget that their job is to help us and they think that we are there to help them get rich.
Cory Doctorow coined the word ENSHITTIFICATION & found that a little vulgarity helps people engage with abstract technical questions.

On the Future Knowledge #podcast, he explains why the web became hostile & how we can make it work again.

December 2nd marks the day John Brown was granted martyrdom in the great abolitionist cause.

His epitaph read:
I have fought a good fight.
I have finished my course.
I have kept the faith.

I cannot count how many times I've seen people, politicians, and society do things that have made me believe our reality is nothing but some edgy teenager's shitpost/shit post on some cosmic social media platform

January 1st, Public Domain Day, has become one of my favorite days of the year. Not only is it the day so many works enter the Public Domain, but also it is a great day to bring attention to the Public Domain and Copyright issues.
What will enter the #publicdomain in 2026? Each day through December we’ll open a window in our advent-style calendar to reveal our highlights! https://publicdomainreview.org/features/entering-the-public-domain/2025/

(+ for the impatient/curious we've links to lists of new entrants.)

I love when I am told I don't really want basic goods and services to affordable by people who make a profit off said goods and services.

Bret Heart alleging Shawn Michaels was sleeping with Vince is wild, but I can't completely rule that out based on what I know about Vince.

Lest we forget
Friends, we gather to honor the dearly departed icons of the early web. 🖥️⚰️ Though they have vanished from our screens, their spirit endures both in our memory & in the Wayback Machine, preserved across 1 trillion pages of web history.

Pay your respects ⤵️

The Berlin of the 1920s is often associated with a certain excess and decadence, but it was a different side of the city — the “sobriety and desolation” of its industrial and working-class districts — which came to obsess the painter Gustav Wunderwald: publicdomainreview.org/essay/g...

How is it that someone like Tami Bhaumik can serve on several child safety boards of child safety organizations and given her position at Roblox, it not be considered a conflict of interest?

About to watch the season finale and what very well could be the final episode of Beavis and Butt-Head. It has yet to be renewed for a new season and the merger at Paramount has me very uneasy, like they canceled Dexter Original Sin for no reason at all.

I have recently been introduced to the idea of a "take and bake" pizza restaurant.
Why would someone choose a "take and bake" pizza place vs a place that cooks the pizza for you?

Been burning the midnight oil quite a lot recently and have been listening to classic Art Bell's Coast to Coast, and I can't help but notice how similar he sounds to George Lowe, who coincidentally voiced Space Ghost on Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Apparently I slept through a 5.4 magnitude earthquake and the kicker is it happened like 2 minutes before I was set to wake up.
