cozy in a mac rom scarf. specifically this is a slice of the ROM from a Macintosh IIsi. here's how it was made. i used @th 's script https://github.com/osresearch/prom/blob/master/hex2png and the mac roms on archive dot org https://archive.org/details/mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011

if you have ImageMagick already installed:

$ perl hex2png.pl -y 1280 -w 32 mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011/36B7FB6C\ -\ Mac\ IIsi.ROM \ | convert - maciisi.png

Then a slice four columns wide was taken of the resulting image and knit into a scarf. The scarf is 1280 pixels/knit stitches long and therefore wraps natively in the columns of the scarf. if you want to make your own, you'll need a hacked consumer knitting machine or an industrial knitting machine or someone with a setup to machine knit it for you.

OMG. This is definitely the queer joy I needed.

2 women in a French old people's home got married after being closeted for ages😍😭

"""
That day, during the meal, we were talking about gay marriage. And Liliane and Andrée came to ask us if it was actually possible to do that in real life. They had thought that same-sex marriage was only possible on TV. … We told them it was possible. And a few minutes later, Andrée proposed to Liliane in front of us.

SFPD wants permission to use robots to kill. Always a good time to remind people that the Supreme Court has repeatedly found the police have no obligation to protect the public. Here they're saying they want to be able to kill without getting close to the source of danger. Wonder what this would do to the odds of harm to bystanders and innocent victims.
