Every time I see some quantity of stuff described as "circling the world X times" or "from here to the moon and back", I imagine an episode of The Worlds' Most Dangerous Jobs where boats full of hard-bitten, grizzled sailors, stringing impossibly long lines of corn dogs across the Pacific, low low-earth-orbit astronauts piling huge stacks of Peeps miles up to the night sky.

I wasn't gentle.
The light died around me, and
I raged against it.

In 1995 I was fascinated by this logo, and I still like how it looks today. It's a great mid-90s logo, with the serif font, the gradient, and the implied depth.

Netscape Navigator was a great product for the time. I wonder if any lines of code in Firefox, the browser I use now, survive from back then...

Thousands of archivists and librarians over here gesticulating *yes, finally, we've been saying this for a decade+*

I like continuous mixes, but I keep finding albums that have silence between tracks yet still start every song at the end of the previous track. Often with just half the first note.

That isn't a continuous mix, it's a choice to annoy people whose music players don't do gapless playback.

I see legislation titled “Protecting Life on College Campus Act”, and for a brief moment I let myself think it will be about gun control.

Nope. Of course it’s all about old white dudes controlling women’s bodies. 😡

I guess “Treating College Women Like Broodmares Act” didn’t test well.
