Z80 officially discontinued after 48 years:
Guys, I have a revolutionary new idea on how to solve traffic and make travel more accessible
First, we take multiple cars and have them drive behind one another
Next, to make them faster, we build a special lane for them so they aren’t slowed by other traffic
Then, to save on fuel, we have them drive on low-friction metal tracks. As a bonus, they can now go 3x faster
And finally, to make it even cheaper, we introduce a model where you can rent a seat, so you don’t even need to pay for a car

The world's billionaires now hold a combined $14.2 trillion in assets.
That exceeds the GDP of every country in the world except the US and China.
And we’re supposed to believe the ultra-wealthy can’t afford a wealth tax?
The rate of emergency room visits caused by heat illness increased significantly last year in large swaths of the country compared with the previous five years, according to a study published on Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“The heat you were asked to manage 10 years ago is not the heat you’re being asked to manage today,” she said. One of the first symptoms of heat illness can be confusion, she added, making it harder for someone to respond without help from others.
If you have any interest at all in the history of fursonas, @chipperwolf wrote an excellent overview about them, what they mean, how they evolve and much more.
Love to see really intelligent and thoughtful meditation/analysis on furry. Someday people are going to realize that it is much deeper, cooler and more fascinating than the tired jokes and misplaced scorn that we've all had to endure.

Let's stop using the term, "ai art," and start saying, "ai content."
They want us to call our work, "content," and they want us to call their junk, "art." No.
#aiart
Just as a friendly reminder for anyone not aware:
The British press is not our friend. They, as a rule, do not publish anything, ever, favorable about trans folks, because those who control their content would very much prefer that we didn't exist.
So, if a reporter for, say, The Guardian wants to talk to you?
Don't.
I know the prospect of being interviewed by Important People is exciting. I've been there! But always do your due diligence when a member of the press comes calling and see what sort of things they're responsible for writing before you agree to or say anything.
The 24-hour news cycle has brutalized journalism, and as a result of it we now live in a new age of yellow journalism and smear reporting. There are a few good eggs, but...

The whole model of taxing "income" is wrong. We need to tax Wealth, not Income. Because the ones who desperately need taxing aren't the working folk.
Incidentally, in Canada there is a tax rebate called the "Canada Workers Benefit" (previously "Working Income Tax Benefit") which returns several thousand dollars to those within the bracket. It's a tiny band-aid step in the right direction, to lighten the tax load on those who are working for it, but the whole system needs to change.
"the average modern American, by one estimate, travels 7,500 miles a year, and put in 1,600 hours a year to do that, they are travelling five miles per hour."
Now if we could all learn to see the hidden potential of pushing one lane of cars off the road.

Hi friends!
Today, remember that it's okay to not be okay.
Often when we aren't feeling okay, we recognize that but then feel bad that we aren't feeling okay, and it contributes further. We stress or upset that we aren't perfect, sometimes small amounts and sometimes large amounts.
It's okay to not be okay. You can let go of shaming yourself internally for being in a bad mental place. It's okay. It doesn't solve the bad feeling, but it gives yourself the grace to be there to begin with.
Gurl it's #FursuitFriday we goin out to partyyy!! :3 xP

“Furry conventions must be nothing but really weird panels about sex and—“
Oh, you have no idea. Really.
Awesome!! I would go!
I am considering doing a panel on chip design at some future furcon. I floated that idea on social media and it had a lot of interest. If my first panel experiences go well at GSFTW next month I will probably try. :)
I feel like I could explain the subject in a fun and accessible way. I might treat it like a class taught by Zorori-sensei (self-proclaimed tech genius).
