It’s striking how dramatically our mindset has shifted in under 30 years. Before the 90s, people were frustrated by the need to buy products they weren’t able to build themselves. Today, despite having unprecedented access to tools, materials, and even electronics development, many people prefer plug-and-play solutions.
In essence, we once valued understanding how things worked. Now, we often prioritize convenience and mental ease. Even remembering a few keyboard shortcuts feels excessi…

California Billionaire Tax Act (@cabillionairetax.bsky.social)
Worth remembering: the top marginal tax rate in the 1950s was 90%. (Pearls Before Swine, Stephan Pastis)

“Throughout our trip to Germany, most of the conversations I had with other survivors and their families reliably returned to fears and intergenerational traumas in the context of the Trump presidency; the rise of nationalism, authoritarianism and uncertainty in the U.S. and around the world. But although this was at the height of devastating reports of famine and genocide emerging from Gaza, everyone in our group, especially the Jews, seemed to make a concerted effort to avoid mention of Pa…

Remembering ‘Never Again for Everyone’ at Bergen-Belsen
At the height of the war in Gaza, a Jewish activist for Palestine accompanied his mother, a Holocaust survivor, to Germany for a ceremony to mark 80 years since liberation

What's your favorite FIrefox and Chrome extensions for putting back traditional Unix/X11 editing keys?
The specific behaviors I rely on are:
Ctrl-A: beginning of line [HAS CHANGED]
Ctrl-E: end of line
Ctrl-K: kill to end of line [HAS CHANGED]
Ctrl-D: Delete next character [CHANGED]
Ctrl-F: forward a char
Ctrl-B: backward a char
Maybe a couple others I'm not remembering.

Five years ago today,
Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to cling to power
after losing a free and fair election.
January 6 was not a protest that got out of hand
— it was an attempted coup, carried out in plain sight.
Marking this anniversary is not just about remembering the past.
It’s about confronting the dangerous reality of the present.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever
encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
-- Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

On this International Remembrance Day for the Victims of the #Holocaust, can we please also spare a thought for the victims of the #genocide that is happening right now, right in front of our faces?

A nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."

People are terrified of The Evil Terminal but there's nothing like remembering a single command that will do everything for you (the exact way you want it) VS spending minutes opening windows and clicking on stuff (if you even remember where they are and if they haven't moved).

Mick Shots: Final shot heard ’round locker room https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/mick-shots-final-shot-heard-round-locker-room

found out about music hall of williamsburg's closure by overhearing one bouncer telling another as i walked into the bowery last night but assumed i misheard & forgot about it til after the show. saw plenty of fun shows there, but mostly remembering it fondly as north six, before it was gutted & turned into a personality-less bowery knockoff.

hmm i thought rachelbythebay.com has a complaint about colleagues not following a “make before break” rule when changing things
but i can’t find a post along those lines
i wonder if she used a different term for the idea or if i’m just remembering wrong

The Elephants Remember: On Activism, Memory, and Holding the World Steady
Not all activism is about pushing forward. Sometimes it’s about remembering, holding, and steadying what’s worth saving. A reflection on emergence, tenderness, and what the elephants can teach us about endurance.

A reminder, on Martin Luther King Day, that immigration is one of the things that has always made America great. And worth remembering that if the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice, it is we who must bend it.

"When news becomes an extension of political and corporate power, democracy loses its immune system. The Fourth Estate collapses. And disinformation rules.
This is what happens when billionaires control information. They decide what you see, what you don’t, who becomes a villain, who gets rehabilitated, and whose death is worth remembering"

Legacy Media's License To Kill
We've lived to see the day when a newspaper excuses the man who butchered their journalist By November, 2018, the CIA had concluded that Saudi Arabia was responsible for the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. And moreover—that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally ordered the killing.

yeah, remembering stuff from the past is always something, innit

The hardest part about filming a job is remembering to START the FUCKING CAMERA ffs

Drawing from a training with the Climate Psychology Alliance, I've been reflecting on the role of changemakers in our world.
Before, I saw activists as Sisyphus, straining to push the world uphill.
But what if we saw them as keeping the world steady?
