@matt_vanswol Not long after the FCC abolished the Fairness Doctrine in 1987. Bias became very apparent around 1994 on certain TV networks.

Comments here make me worried how hard it’s getting to have a meaningful discussion about software and user experience.

[joyce @henloitsjoyce]

notion is such a piece of shit software

it's the designer's wet dream of what a docs app should be, not what a practical person's docs app should be

genuinely bearish on anyone who makes me use notion

@funkentechno Peace and positive vibes to you both

@jordanphughes Congratulations! Amazing release.

What is wrong with the @SFGiants!? Keep this up and we’ll be in last place very soon. I’m starting to think that last big trade ‘fixed’ what wasn’t that broken.

@matt_vanswol Communism and Socialism are not the same thing. Google “Communism vs Socialism” and for more on Socialism, “Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal”

Casually listening to Buzzcocks ‘A Different Kind of Tension’ for first time in eons. “I Believe” just came on and I’m wildly and ecstatically transported back to my misspent youth in NYC. What a crucial track.

@AravSrinivas @ProtonVPN Just cancelled my Perplexity Pro subscription. That’s really all I need to say here.

One of many reasons why baseball is the best 🥹

Great job by the @SFGiants broadcast booth 👏

I wish all people in control of corporations and governments felt it was imperative to take better care of the Earth.

There is no Planet B for human life.

And basic survival aside, why continue to prioritize profits over a natural world that is so magical and unique?

@RicoKRS @NBCSGiants I pay for https://t.co/6iiflE0m5s, Sling, and Peacock. I guess I need to add on $20/month for https://t.co/NgeeSYtQp5 or $18/month for a Regional Sports Network fee on top of Peacock subscription. It’s insane how hard it’s become to watch sports on TV.

@RicoKRS @NBCSGiants How does MLB/NBC/SFG make money from blacking out a Giants game that’s in Cincinnati? Like I was going to fly there? I understand local games but this makes zero sense to me.

@NBCSGiants Not if you live in SF

Hello @pinegrow 👋 I just discovered HTML Planet for Kids and it looks like the perfect intro to HTML/CSS for my kiddo. The interface is just what I'd like for him—tutorial, code, editor, preview—all in one place. Is the product still active and supported?
