Today, June 26, is the gayest day in US history.
2003-06-26 (17 years ago): Lawrence v. Texas, striking down no-gay-sex laws nationwide.
2013-06-26 (7 years ago): US v. Windsor, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
2015-06-26 (5 years ago): Obergefell v. Hodges, legalizing gay marriage nationwide.
Happy LGBT+ pride month, folks!
And don't forget the "T" in there!
MLP: Pony Life
And now I've seen the comments. Some like Pony Life, some don't, & some are confused, of course.
Also of course some hate it to the point of begging for a season 10 of FIM, without watching a single minute of it.
I'll tell ya what: If it weeds the more toxic bronies out of the MLP fandom, I'll judge it an even bigger hit.
Zoom acquired Keybase today.
Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.
Beware the Keybase formula:
1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded
MLP: Pony Life
I actually like Pony Life so far, but I've always liked cute silliness, & I can see why most adult FIM fans won't.
But just remember: MLP exists first for Hasbro to sell gendered toys to children, & I have a feeling they'll succeed more with Pony Life than they did with Gen 3.5.
