    32 years ago, thousands of Chinese people sacrificed their lives fighting for a future they hoped would be free. As Tiananmen’s history was repeatedly whitewashed and rewritten, those of us in the free world all owe them a duty to remember.

    This is a perfect description of something I’ve witnessed too often. From the outside, in the “sure glad I don’t have to spend that energy” sense.

    Living on the continent and having grown up in a former colony, I like to pick on the UK as much as anyone. But you have to love the quality of research they are contributing to understanding SARS-CoV-2.

    So hey, straight folks I know: I need to make it official that you no longer have any cover for eating at Chick-fil-a. Every fast food place has a sandwich of equal quality now. Just don’t do it. Don’t make me talk to you about it.

    Chick-fil-A’s profits are being used to push anti-trans state laws & kill the Equality Act

    This is a pretty good troll, but to go all the way he should propose replacing them with private consumer VR experiences. On the blockchain.

    Photo of the day: Germen Hut with his prototype flying cargo bike on the Damrak in Amsterdam, 1928. He insisted its folding wings would let people cruise through crowded streets with ease, then fly over traffic jams. He scheduled a test with KLM but (amazingly) it never worked.

    I think it's time for us in the tech world to speak out and make it clear the emperor has no clothes here. Cryptocurrency is sustained by a mix of money laundering, vaporware, fraud, ransomware, gambling, and delusion. It has no social benefit except helping end first dates fast
