The web UI is for sure working. Not sure about Jerboa though.

It's well known but usually taught in the later years of high school (15-17 year olds). I don't think they're teaching things like the Tulsa massacre, the Wilmington massacre, Rosewood or the MOVE bombing in schools. Maybe in AP classes which are advanced placement for college credit.

Everything we learn about the Civil Rights movement is shown in black and white and taught as if it solved the problem. We definitely aren't taught that some of the legal reforms put forth in response the the nationwide riots after MLK's assassination.

IRC is so rad. I learned to touch type by hanging out in IRC channels in the dark on a stolen shell account in 93. I felt like a hacker, really I was a goofball talking about rollerblading on a shell account that no one cared about because they got it for free with their SLIP account.

Hell yeah, cyber archeology. Coming into old comments threads like Lawrence Fishburne, "this place is a tomb."

Sugar Ray. They went from Mean Machine to Fly. Caution, potato quality videos.

Even that Atlantic ocean couldn't stop Jim Crow. Fascinating story, hope it can still be taught in history classes in the coming years.

Lentils and rice. Saute 2 tablespoons of cumin seeds and 2 tablespoons of coriander powder in some neutral oil. Add 5 cups water, salt and pepper, bring to a boil. Put in a cup of brown lentils and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10 min. Add a cup of rice, cover and cook on low for 20 min.

Serve with caramelized onions and yogurt if you're fancy. Skip that and serve with cheese if you're me. I shamelessly stole this and bastardized it from Christopher Kimball's mujaddara recipe.

It sounds like more work than it is. Toast spices, 5c water, 1c lentils for 10 min, 1c rice for 20 min, bob's your uncle.

Numbers matter because activity is directly proportional to user count. A lot of mainstream users won't join a platform until it already has a critical mass. They don't want to be early adopters or trail blazers. They want to go where their friends and good conversations are.

We've got to set the table for them. With a lot of users there will be more buzz and more social gravity to pull people here. We're the first drunk uncle on the dance floor at the wedding that gets the party started. A dance floor with a few drunk uncles is fun for the uncles but until a couple nieces and a grandma join in then there's not a party.

People have been burned by so many hot new social networks that they're wary. They don't believe that they can have a good network that's not full of ads and selling their info.

But the time is now, the DJ has put on Montel Jordan's "This is How We Do It" and it's up to us, the drunk uncles of the fediverse, to get everyone onto the dance floor.

This looks awesome. I feel like it would be worth $40usd but I'm betting Nintendo will be asking $70usd. For 70, I'll stick to the SNES.

edit: it's $60usd

OG doom is so awesome. It basically fathered the FPS genre and speedrunning. There's still so much development and so much being done. Even artistically there's a lot happening. Have you seen myhouse.wad? That's just brilliant meta storytelling.

If you're not going to play myhouse.wad there's a great (albeit long) video essay on it.

There was that one guy who built his own rocket and died in the desert. That kind of qualifies. Also the existence of the running of the bulls and the cheese wheel race. Those are reported like "look at those idiots. Of course they got hurt."

That's the kind of journalistic lens I'm looking for when taking about dopes that signed a haunted house style waiver to add to the Titanic's body count.
