if you played Jim Croce’s “Operator” for a zoomer would there be a single reference in the narrative that they could relate to?
have they ever spoken to an operator? one that could look up a phone number for them? have they seen a matchbook? would they understand why people wrote phone numbers on them? would the operator keeping the dime make any sense at all?
media preservation by itself can only go so far.

@djsundog Omg Jim Croce content yes
That guy hates New York so much
Two days in a row, two different people (who's schedules do not overlap) called out sick at the bookstore.
That's a bad omen, right?
I am too angry to make cheese today. But I have a lot of milk and a finite amount of room in my fridge, so paneer it is I guess.
Has anyone already developed something like a '15 day plan' to try the Fediverse, specifically targeted at helping communities/interest groups give it a go via a series of quick and easy steps?
I'm thinking something like this to help facilitate the beginnings of a migration:

Breaking News: WMTW Portland ME | Maine Democrats call July 25 convention to replace Graham Platner as US Senate nominee
County committees will select delegates ahead of the convention. Delegates will not be pledged to any candidate...
All certified candidates will appear on the first ballot. The top five will advance to the second round, and the last-place candidate will be eliminated after each subsequent ballot until someone receives a majority...
The good news here is that the voting process will address the situation where multiple progressive candidates split the vote and one centrist establishment candidate wins with a plurality.
Also, the at least most county meetings seem like they will be voter caucuses to nominate delegates to convention.
We are in the End Game. #JetlagTheGame

- Let’s solve world hunger? NO
- Let’s enable power generation from environmental sunlight? NO
Oh, I know - Let’s put a massive reflecting mirror to focus sunlight for adverts and cause more light pollution, that acts like a gigantic magnifying glass - YES!

Google is building a new data center in Kronstorf, Upper Austria.
The Austrian power grid provider estimates that at full capacity, the data center will consume as much energy as 900.000 private households.
There are around 676.000 private households in Upper Austria.
The data center will also drain local ground water reserves. Google got permission to discharge 99 liters of water per second into the river Enns, indicating that the actual consumption will be much higher.
This is madness!

…I really dislike “AI-enhanced” photography. It makes it harder and harder for me to trust any photo, even those taken by people I know on their personal devices.

Good morning, 
Radians.
I'm driving in Ohio to pick up my kid from her hippie summer camp blasting Huey Lewis with the windows down in a Star Trek T-shirt for my other kid's birthday.
I don't think I could Dad Rock harder.
For some reason Huey Lewis is in every chat today... an omen? a portent?
one can only know with a new drug, airing dirty laundry, and summoning The Power of Love...
The British are adding panels to the Bayeux Tapestry while its in London
You don't have to be the best to succeed. You just need to know your strengths. As Dilbert creator Scott Adams once said, "I knew I wasn't the best at drawing comics or the best at being racist. But I knew I was better than most people at drawing comics and being racist, so I combined the two."
@lowqualityfacts This is a fantastic real-world example demonstrating Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage.

If I were elected as supreme ruler of The Islamic State of Japan, first order of business is to declare choco-mint haram under Sharia law, effective immediately. Second order of business is to mandate all NHK doormen to offer to cook the visited household a full Mexican meal of high quality. Lastly, to finish off my tremendous generosity to our people, I declare that all gyms do NOT require people to take off their shoes and use other ones, as that shit makes no sense in fitness gyms.
