As you might have noticed, this acct is no longer active. Twitter has shut off API access to the app I've used since 2008 to post links here. Until a change in ownership (or in the owner's stability & political views), there will be no more kottke[dot]org content posted here.

@ValleyReporter Hi, can you share some information about how local residents unaffected by the flooding can help? Are volunteers needed anywhere?

An absolutely gobsmacking image of the Sun shot in the "hydrogen-alpha band of the visible spectrum", which reveals an unbelievable amount of texture & features, including a solar tornado that's 14 Earths tall. https://t.co/JXxujArsbf

In case you missed it somehow, kottke[dot]org turned 25 years old this week. Thank you so much for all the lovely comments; it really means a lot. https://t.co/tBSfIUj32Y

Unbelievably, kottke[dot]org turns 25 years old today – the site predates Google! "That's more than half of my life, spanning four decades and ~40,000 posts, almost cartoonishly long for a medium optimized for impermanence." Thx for reading! https://t.co/tBSfIUj32Y

I was recently on John Gruber's The Talk Show podcast! Our time together was pretty limited, but we still managed to talk about the history of blogging, my recent sabbatical, Stellar, the 25th anniversary of the site, and more. Give it a listen! https://t.co/fJruQF5RPv

To mark the 25th anniversary of his death, here's a 17- year-old Notorious B.I.G. freestyling on a street corner in Bed Stuy in 1989. Even then, you could tell. #RIPBIG https://t.co/0Qua4LE7Ud

The Ukrainian postal service has released a stamp featuring artwork by Banksy to mark the first anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. It also says "FCK PTN" on it in Ukrainian. https://t.co/z9tDyYpIcx

In the next couple of weeks, I'm going to be doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) and I'm collecting questions for it today. So if there's anything you'd like to know about me, the site, or the world, ask away! https://t.co/w2Y6Garwmz

@JossFong Grew up in the 80s and we had one mirror in the house; it was in the poorly lit bathroom. And there’s maybe 30 pictures of me from age 12-20, probably fewer.

Last call for Kottke Hypertext Tees. If you want one of these fabulous shirts, you've got another ~24 hours to order one before they're gone. If you've ordered already, thank you! They've proven surprisingly popular. https://t.co/rkRESdgKRf

In 1955, the Ford Motor Company hired poet Marianne Moore to name their revolutionary new car. She suggested names like "Utopian Turtletop" and "The Intelligent Whale". Ford ended up going with their own name: The Edsel. https://t.co/UobyG46UVP

I saw Dune 2 trending and I thought: finally people are excited about one of my all-time favorite video games

[kottke.org @kottke]

Well, I was not expecting Tetris to be the next video game to be turned into an edgy drama (an 80s Cold War techno-thriller, no less), but here we are. The trailer looks....good? https://t.co/fApJbmH9xt
