There is no way. I don’t see how this isn’t pure bullshit they didn’t know the meaning.

A journalist almost takes responsibility for the misinformed public: "Many commentators...blame the media for the public’s economic illiteracy." But then she turns the blame on us: "If the media has a bad-news bias, that’s because our audiences have a bad-news bias, too." Journalists are incapable of meaningful self-reflection, incapable of taking responsibility.

@jeffjarvis so, are they saying journalists just give people what they want or just tell them what they want to hear?

Space: 1999 Mattel playset featuring the “Astro-flash Computer”. Basically a blinking lightbulb. 😂 As kids we didnt care but I admit I never saw this playset growing up. 🤖 #Space1999

Commercial from the 70’s of two boys playing with Space:1999 action figures and a Main Missions playset.

@gedeonm IMO, even though I’m more of a kid of the 80s, toys peaked in the 1970s.

I’ve been on a real SpaghettiOs kick lately. Brings me right back to when I was a kid. I’m sure I’ll get over it soon but at the moment it’s super comforting. 😌

@gedeonm A few months ago I tried the same with Beanie Weenies, but it just didn’t hit the same with my current tastes.

What the heck was observed static electricity called or thought of before the general discovery of electricity? 🤔

@gedeonm Those brussel sprouts are looking good!

ashkendo,
@ashkendo@mastodon.social avatar

@gedeonm Same here. Until relatively recently I thought they were disgusting. The (I guess) new trend of charring them takes them to a whole level, though. Charred with a honey drizzle even take it higher!

@gedeonm @ljpuk I can’t imagine having the same wallpaper for years. These people are dead inside. 😛

Why is the Washington Post choosing to retell this now except to make him look weakened? Such "news judgment" has consequences.

@jeffjarvis Somebody decided they had to keep it “fair” after a competitor had a brainworm.

What I’d like from today’s Apple iPad event:

  • Camera on the long side of the iPad (where it belongs)
  • Longer battery life
  • Faster processor (duh)
  • To not have Sherlocked 🙏

@gedeonm which older model are you comparing with? Your 2018?

ashkendo,
@ashkendo@mastodon.social avatar

@gedeonm Bummer. That’s the same model I’m coming from. I use the device as a comic reader a lot and I was really hoping the weight difference would be noticeable for that.

ashkendo,
@ashkendo@mastodon.social avatar

@gedeonm There is a very noticeable weight difference, to me. However, my 2018 was a cellular model, and this new one is WiFi only.
