Liberals and conservatives have long collaborated to build a more powerful state (#ICE, #CIA, etc.) under explicit domination of monied interests. The #FarRight then built a #GrievanceCulture to seize control, using attacks on #DEI & #CRT as just the tip of an iceberg of horrors.

New CRT monitor pickup! 19" Gateway 2000 EV900, manufacture date September 1997. Maxes out at 1600x1200 screen resolution. Has a pretty decent picture quality and geometry, no apparent defects after looking it over a bit.

This is far and away bigger and better than anything else I previously owned. Got it for a decent price compared to other local offerings. Looking forward to some retro gaming on this thing over the weekend!

It's a good day when stars align: beginning of holidays, new #FreeDOS release, and my “white whale” #CRT monitor appears for sale on evilBay at a reasonable price.

I'm looking for a small (ideally up to 14" at most) CRT #TV that works correctly with my (RF) #PAL #SEGA #MasterSystem II at both 50 and 60 Hz (so it needs to have working #PAL60 support...)

Does anyone in Sweden has one to sell?

(please boost...)

"In 2022, conservative groups celebrated a 'great victory' over 'wokeified' curriculum when the Texas State Board of Education squashed proposed social studies requirements for schools that included teaching kindergartners how Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez 'advocated for positive change.'

Another win came a year later as the state board rejected several textbooks that some Republicans argued could promote a 'radical environmental agenda' because they linked climate change to human behavior or presented what conservatives perceived to be a negative portrayal of fossil fuels.

By the time the state board approved science and career-focused textbooks for use in Texas classrooms at the end of 2023, it appeared to be comfortably in sync with conservatives who had won control of local school boards across the state in recent years.

But the Republican-led state education board had not gone far enough for the conservative majority on the school board for Texas’ third-largest school district.

At the tail end of a school board meeting in May of last year, Natalie Blasingame, a board member in suburban Houston’s Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, proposed stripping more than a dozen chapters from five textbooks that had been approved by the state board and were recommended by a district committee of teachers and staffers.

The chapters, Blasingame said, were inappropriate for students because they discussed 'vaccines and polio,' touched on 'topics of depopulation,' had 'an agenda out of the United Nations' and included 'a perspective that humans are bad.'

In a less-publicized move, Blasingame, a former bilingual educator, proposed omitting several chapters from a textbook for aspiring educators titled 'Teaching.' One of those chapters focuses on how to understand and educate diverse learners and states that it 'is up to schools and teachers to help every student feel comfortable, accepted and valued,' and that 'when schools view diversity as a positive force, it can enhance learning and prepare students to work effectively in a diverse society.'"

Anyone know what the CRT refresh rate on the original Mac / Fat Mac / Mac Plus is? 60Hz?

The Macclesfield Canal has broken through its bank. This is called a breech. Or is it spelled breach?

It's pants either way.

(That's a pun only Brits and Aussies will understand. Breeches are a type of trousers. The expression "it's pants" means "it's unpleasant". A breach is a rupture.)

For comparison, last year's Lancaster breach cost £1,600,000 to repair.

@Shrigglepuss Unfortunately I can't commit, but it would help if you could list sizes and models and tag with #crt #crtgaming #retro and #retrogaming. You're likely to get hits that way.

I agree - would be good to find homes for them!

I bought the requisite switchbox about 13 years ago, and finally today found and ordered a clean looking SM124 paper-white monochrome CRT monitor for the Atari 520ST, from eBay. (Shipping in original box with original foam, so it seems possible it will survive the trip across the U.S.) (Knock on wood)

It looks like there's JUST enough room atop this A520 STation to fit them both, if I move the HxX2001 into one of the (disconnected) drives' spots in the stand.

I had both an SC1224 and an SM124 on my original 520ST setup back in 1987.

Will post some pics when it's all setup.

#CRT aficionados: check out the reflection of the kitchen window and the side of the chimney breast in this switched-off early 2000s #VGA #monitor screen.

Does that look like an anti-glare (or some other type of) coating to you?

Anyone remember pressing their nose to a CRT television and seeing the RGB grille?

Had a dream I was looking at my cellphone. I eventually scrolled to an image that had sort of a CRT grille effect filter, except...

It looked odd, so I instinctively pressed my nose against the cellphone screen.

Whomever had made the image had hidden extra visual information within the image. It felt like one of those magic eye images but on steroids.

I took a photo of some movie that was on TV about 10 years ago, seeing what looks like an Acorn computer of some sort on the desk, and this is what I got. I'm not really sure what's going on here and I'm equally unsure if I want to know.

Came across this 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 collection I had to share.

'MrJackio' has a full set up for their analog visual arts studio - and it is a #RetroBattlestation paradise.
All are used for specific projects that require different #design and #art styles. I love that the closet is stuffed full of #CRT displays and camcorders, too. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 is dedication to a design principle and aesthetic!

Honestly gives me strong #CassetteFuturism vibes.

My fav? That an #Amiga computer can still have use!

TV anachronisms: The opening titles to the TV show Tokyo Vice have a CRT (that is, an old computer display) with damage to the screen, that looks like a damaged LCD. Which is not what a damaged CRT looks like. (A CRT simply goes dark whe the vacuum is gone.)
