There's a reason that characters being contacted by someone else via computers are the first corner being peeled up.

When the internet hadn't quite become a utility, was still kind of mystical, and also more peer-to-peer, and talking to someone somewhere else really did feel like cutting through reality. Especially if something wasn't "right" about you according to wherever you were in a way you hadn't articulated or acknowledged, if something felt stifling or artificial.

Something I don't see a lot in analyses of The Matrix, and especially The Animatrix, is how thoroughly rooted in the web 1.0 era alienation and process of reaching out to others.

“Trent have you ever thought that your attempts to cover Taylor Swift songs with a melancholy acoustic twist are merely a veneer of sexist privilege seeking to portray your own Male
Emotions as more significant?”

“Uh. I dunno Daria. I just thought it sounded pretty. Or. Somethin’”

hey mastofriends, i need to find an introduction to programming concepts for absolute beginners, because I'm struggling to understand various concepts that the "beginner" guide I'm reading seem to think I already understand (stuff like like: for loops, objects, strings, arrays, variables)

anyone know of any book, website, youtube video, anything that can teach me these concepts that were apparently too basic to be in a beginner guide to a language i want to learn?

reminder to support the internet archive in any way you can, be it through donations or just telling others to donate

they're doing something really god damn important by rescuing and protecting information

This is fucking beautiful. A #pdx carpenter union member is at #OccupyICEpdx offering union positions to ICE agents willing to quit their jobs.

#AbolishICE

For folks with screen readers, the text (from @pxdgdc on twitter) reads:

"A union carpenter is walking around camp at #OccupyICEPDX offering DHS/ICE agents jobs with the Carpenter’s Union if they turn in their badges & walk off the line.

You don’t have to kidnap children for a living. You could have a job with benefits, high pay, respect.

Just quit. "

You know, thinking back over the last 6 months of Internet Bullshit, I'm pretty sure the reason people dislike Amalyn Holdo is the fact that she's a soft woman with lilac hair and a halo.

Holdo did nothing wrong and I will brook no argument on this point.

I hear there's a bit of a heatwave in the UK right now. As someone from the UK who's been living in South Africa for almost a decade, some things I do to deal with the heat:

* Feet in a bowl of cold water
* Ice pack wrapped in a damp tea towel (especially good under your feet in bed at night)
* Damp tea towel around neck
* Spray bottle to spritz self with water

Keep your 'hot' zones cool; armpits, under boobs, crotch, back of knees. Having cool feet and neck helps immensely too.
