I'll be 51 years old, on February 3rd, 2026. I don't feel my age 😆

Photo is of me, paralyzed at #RefugeesCamp & me as an adult, decades later.

Black and white artistic photograph split horizontally, featuring my face. The upper portion shows my eyes open, with dark eyeliner and mascara. The lower portion displays my face with eyes closed, lips slightly parted in a subtle smile.

Despite being a great fan of the #SexPistols, #TheClash, #GenX and their predecessors. my impression is that #DrFeelgood actually invented #Punkrock, and nobody took care.

Listen to these guitar riffs, ain't that true?

A black and white photograph depicts a young person standing indoors, with a blurry background. The person is facing forward, looking directly at the camera with a slightly puckered mouth. They are wearing a long-sleeved shirt and dark pants. The background features a vertical striped pattern, possibly a wall or curtain. The image appears to be a candid shot, potentially from an older era due to the grainy quality and style.

The text on the image reads: “Rare photo of a remote control from the 70’s”.

A screen cap from the famous 1990s commercial where Sally Struthers hawks a correspondence school that offers diplomas by mail. The opening line was famous “do you want to make more money? Sure we all do.”

Can someone please explain what was so unbearably "inefficient" that we had to ruin every single interaction with a computer with the worst possible solution to any problem?

For real, what problem has been solved? I keep hearing about the "need" for AI like we were some hapless kitchen idiot in a 1980s infomercial that needed a vegetable curler or whatever.

Nearly all drivers say vehicles' lights are too bright in study

The study, commissioned by the Department for Transport, was completed by Berkshire's TRL.

1. Mandate more old fashioned amber color from headlights.
2. Mandate minimum light source area.
3. Mandate a height range (above road), and also distance range to edge of vehicle silhouette.

India Cabaret, Salaam Bombay and Mississippi Masala are masterpieces.
