"It's Howdy Doody Time!": First Premiered 77 Years Ago This Week | Cord Cutters News

Seventy-seven years ago, on December 27, 1947, a puppet named Howdy Doody and his human sidekick, Buffalo Bob Smith, made their television debut on NBC, forever changing the landscape of children’s entertainment.

"Rather than treating BlueSky as 'the space' for community-specific conversations, I’ll encourage folks to drive those conversations to community-specific spaces (like Discourse, Discord, etc)."

#ChrishHoldgraf, 2024

Discord is also someone else's kingdom, and well on its way to enshittifying. Something like a Matrix space would be a castle independent of anyone else's kingdom.

Would you like to see something astonishing?

Recently, a friend gave me a gift that she had been working on for almost a year. It was initially a gift for my 40th, but it took longer to make than she anticipated (BIG UNDERSTATEMENT).

It is - I cannot stress this enough - the coolest and most incredible thing I have ever owned, and I am moved beyond words that someone would put the time in to create something this awesome. For me (!!!).

Here is the London Underground Map... in cross stitch.

This is genuinely a picture of the London Underground map in cross-stitch, complete with the key to lines and interchanges

Netflix? More like Netfix - world's most popular streaming service is tied at the neck with its biggest rival, and doesn't even know how much it spends on cloud computing

The Roland SC-880, a variant of the SC-88Pro with a newer DAC and an updated patch mode that allows up to six sounds to be layered together instead of two, has three exclusive demo songs. Walkin' on the Sun, Toughparade and Turnabout. Walkin' on the Sun is a Jazz rock track, Toughparade is a medley of various 90s techno styles, and Turnabout is a small Classical track. Toughparade is also kind of funny to me because of how high-pitched the TR909 tom gets. No MIDIs available unfortunately, it seems these songs were built into the SC-880 itself, and I can't find any SC-880 disks which might have them. youtube.com/watch?v=B8lXCKBaWk…

Demo Songs (Roland SC-880 GS)

These three demo songs were included on the Roland SC-880 Sound Canvas.

My article demonstrates that Legacy Admissions, not Affirmative Action, is the actual racist policy that destroys meritocracy. And that because Legacy disproportionately benefits unqualified white people, it is protected.

It's been read more than 50,000 times and shared thousands of times—and I've not seen even 1 single rebuttal.

Can't imagine why.🤔

Affirmative Action Repeal & Rising White Supremacy

The latest Harvard data is a daunting reminder that racist policies are not only systemic in our higher education systems—they're getting worse

“We need to get one thing out of the way: Rust is cool. It’s fun.

“It’s tempting to try to sweep this under the rug because it feels gauche to say, but it’s actually important for a number of reasons.

“For one, fish is a hobby project, and that means we want it to be fun for us. Nobody is being paid to work on fish, so we need it to be fun. Being fun and interesting also attracts contributors.”
