There is that (probably untrue) theory that the main reason he bought Twitter was because at the time, Twitter wouldn’t ban the ElonJet tracking account. Were that the case, it would kinda/sorta make sense that he’s want to kill the platform.

Neil Gaiman. The man can write novels, YA novels, graphic novels, children’s books. And they all have such well crafted worlds that you just want to lose yourself in them.
I also think Neal Stephenson and Corey Doctorow deserve WAY more attention than they get.
I’ve been playing around with both the BennVenn MBC3000 and the Funnyplaying MidnightTrace GB/GBC FLASH CART. I’ve heard the FP v1 had a design flaw that necessitated the V2. I’ve tried both versions and can’t tell any functional differences when playing games. The BV is (like most of his stuff) a shockingly good value.
Yeah, I think this is more of a novelty or a “because I can” sort of thing. There are enough mini retro handhelds out there that play more systems for less cost. (RIP my Miyoo Mini v1)
The real villains here are the absurdly rich. Especially those who find ways to pay less in taxes.
The top 1% are the problem.
Tax the rich.
This is my boomer MIL. She is honestly one of the kindest people I know. . She votes pro-environment/pro-social issues and has given (almost beyond her means) everything she can to virtually anyone who needs it. She has almost nothing left, and is a stones throw from couch surfing. I have no idea what’ll happen when her health starts to fail. As frustrated as I am with boomers, I try to remember her and the good she has tried to bring about in the world.
I’m not a knower. Context?
Well, if Gen X and Millennials wanted their own fortunes they should have planned ahead like boomers and been born back when a house cost $7,500.

It’s not that powerful of a jet of water. I mean, I’m sure there is some, but if you’re doing it right, only the parts you want to get wet are getting wet. Besides, the alternative is like using a paper towel to clean peanut butter from a shag carpet.
Minidiscs were the most awesomely absurd retro-cassette futurism style audio format ever. I loved my MZ R35. I wish this format would make a comeback. All the positives of CDs in a cassette like format, with re-recording.
There was a time when I think I would have actually considered paying around five bucks a month to use Facebook without giving up my privacy. But now that even most of my family has moved on from social media, I can’t imagine this working anywhere other than where it’s legally required to be an option. Most of the existing FB users seem content (or oblivious) to give up their privacy to hear their Uncle Crazy complain about the conspiracy du jour.
That we all accept that working our butts off for at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, with only around 2 weeks of vacation a year in the hopes that we can save just enough to retire at 65+ is normal. The social contract is broken, and everyone except the top 1% of earners is paying the price.
I’ll be curious to see the quality of the flash carts. The burner is less interesting… I think BennVenn nailed it for easiest to use and most economical burner on the market.
Demeo has become the unexpected game of choice for my friends and I.
I once heard a theory once that most boomers are “the way they are” because of the amount of lead they all were exposed to due leaded gasoline. The three most common effects of long term lead exposure are developmental delay, learning difficulties, and irritability. Zero evidence of course, but it sure would explain a lot.

it’s kinda niche, but since you asked: The SANS Internet Stormcenter Daily Cyber Security Podcast:
I’m waiting for someone to marry a corporation just to show how absurd the idea of corporate personhood is.
