Anyone who lives in Canberra Australia (or wants to travel there) the Canberra Vintage Computer Exhibition is on Saturday 29th June 2024 at Radford Junior School Hall.
See retro computers, consoles and me! I'll be taking up a pile of old Apple Macs and a PSOne with that cool LCD screen Sony made for it.

Since the Murdoch family launched Fox "News" several decades ago, Big Journalism has consistently endorsed the fiction that the outlet is journalistic in nature. There was an element of truth to that early on.

But for the past decade and longer, Fox "News" has been a thoroughly dishonest, relentless propagandist. It accumulates power and money by poisoning our public sphere.

Yet the journalism trade persists in calling it a news outlet, compounding the dishonesty.

It's disheartening.

Liberal arts schools life-hack*:

Simply rename all liberal arts classes with the suffix "for AI":

"Ethics" --> "Ethics for AI"
"Philosophy" --> "Philosophy for AI"
"Literature" --> "Literature for AI"
etc.

Your class enrollment will double, funding will be secured, and you don't need to make any changes to the curriculum. (bonus: we end up with a broader societal understanding of why ethics and philosophy matter)

*life-hack in this case refers to a hack allowing them to stay alive

So Florida, maybe next time you’ll vote to protect your own personal interests & improve your life rather than for some half assed anti-woke slogan in hopes of owning the libs!
Who’s owning who right now?
Do better Florida!

Here's How Joe Biden Was Snuck Into Ukraine Without Anyone Noticing

For one, Russia was given a heads-up of the president's visit to avoid any miscalculation that could bring the two nuclear-armed nations into direct conflict.

And it’s not just MAGA republicans, it’s ALL OF THEM! Between coup attempts, promoting the Big Lie, destroying women’s rights, banning books & lies about basically everything, the GOP has made our country less democratic and on track to full on fascism!

I do not understand why hospital-acquired #COVID19 isn't a much larger scandal and concern. We KNOW patients who have COVID at the same time as other health issues have much poorer outcomes. In the UK this week:

Hospital-acquired Covid case counts are ⬆️31% in the past week!

Community-acquired admissions ⬆️11%.

Both parties have held the debt ceiling hostage as a political tool. For example, in 2011, the Republicans did it. But in 2013, the Republicans did it. On the other hand, this year it is the Republicans who are doing it.
