When I’m President Of Video Games, all games will have an “adults with busy lives” feature.

“Hi, I see you haven’t played this game in a month. Here’s a reminder of the last things you did and where you need to go next. Press X for a quick tutorial of the controls you forgot.”

It's particularly weird that cyberpunk is presented as this highly awesome technologically augmented human society, when really cyberpunk is about the increased gap between the masses and the elite. With the elite using technology to control, oppress and observe the masses under the guise of technology being useful.

Hot EPA take 

Twenty year olds back in the day looked forty because they were surrounded by secondhand smoke, exhaust from huge ineffecient cars, and all kinds of industrial pollutants their entire lives.

@melissasage Ok, so.

Flask-- It's the simplest framework for turning Python code into answering web requests, without doing a lot of repetitive stuff that just implements the shared guts of all web servers.

Best if: you have a medium-to-heavy weight app you want to implement, particularly one that isn't organized like a typical web site.

Maybe don't use it if: your site is very small and doesn't need much customization OR very large and needs much organisational support

Continue to be troubled that I look like the kind of person that would stand on a Columbus Day float, rather than the kind of person who would travel back in time to assassinate the Catholic monarchs of Castile and Aragon.

🚨🚨The Pro-Vax pin is being rereleased y'all! 🚨🚨

See below for a picture of the original version; the rerelease appears to have silver accents rather than gold, but looks otherwise identical.

Additionally, sales of this version will benefit the Immunization Action Coalition, a vaccine education non-profit. 😊

Idea: Screen saver that is a music visualizer, in 2019

"I think we’ll be cushioned by amazing technological development and sitting on Salvation Army furniture. Everything else will be crumbling. Government surveillance becomes inevitable because there’s this dilemma when you have an increase in information storage. A lot of it is for your convenience – but as more information gets on file it’s bound to be misused." ~ David Byrne in 1979

I used to know a white drummer who insisted rap wasn't REAL music, because all it had was lyrics and a beat.

Imagine being so racist that you're a drummer who hates percussion and considers it unmusical.

For those who are unaware or unfamiliar, today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year! ✡️ This year is 5780 in the Hebrew calendar. 🧓

Tradition on Rosh Hashanah is to eat round foods, like 🍎 or 🥚, which symbolize life, and sweet foods, like those dipped in 🍯, which symbolize the hope for a sweet year!

Things you can say to wish people a happy new year: Shanah Tovah (lit. "A good year"), "chag sameach" ("happy holiday"), or just "happy new year"!

A sweet year and a long life, friends!

Remember when everyone forgot what lofi or garage meant, and were dogging Julian Casablancas for not being a good singer
