Wolfenstein 3D running in DOS running emulated in a browser running in a VR headset

Totally normal, life isn't moving too fast Image
Hmm, a 10 foot screen in VR that is an emulated Apple II running in a browser. Nothing to see here, and impossible to explain to the game what is happening to it. Image
Hey Zuck, I'm running MAME in Oculus without sideloading, come at me bro Image

INTERNET ARCHIVE EDUCATION WEEK: OK, it's time to talk a little bit about how Internet Archive is Not a Library Image
It's not just one monolithic collection of books, or something else; it's designed to be incredibly flexible about what comes in, how to get into it, and, ultimately, ensure it's as easily accessible to every item with in it.

So, not a library.

Actually, a library of libraries. Image
We have an extraordinary amount of partner organizations who have their items at the Internet Archive, and they're in collections that have sub-collections, and have their own organization - they even have alternative interfaces on their websites to our materials. Let's meet some Image

Well, this is starting to happen: People accusing government officials of deleting tweets.

I can tell you at least 4 entities store all government tweets, so that won't "work". But more importantly, I need people to understand "they deleted all tweets", is probably false.
A constant refrain is "Jared Kushner deleted all his tweets!!!!" and the answer actually is that Jared has been made fun of in NYC circles for almost a decade and a half and he almost never social media posts anything, just sits on empty ones. You know. Like his buildings.
I'm just saying, do not start the "Those people are so full of conspiracy and crossed wires" and then start blasting out poorly sourced conspiracy and crossed wires. Data is data. A bunch of us loooooove collecting data. We'll sort it out.

I just got a cold call from someone claiming to be my primary care physician staff trying to tell me who my colonoscopy doctor is going to be and I didn't respond nicely and that was weird
They said they could give me a list of doctors we could go through immediately to choose one and I told them no and they were rather surprised and acting weird
Is this normal? Does the office of a doctor just call you and tell you where your going

I did want to mention one thing about my election day work yesterday, in my upstate NY town. I've done one big election before, and I also hung out with other workers who knew how the voting line tends to go. We could check in most people in about 30-60 seconds, in general.
Sometimes it was more (the registration had lapsed, or they came to the wrong location to vote, or they had moved recently and needed to get what's called an Affidavit vote, which takes time to explain) but in general, I did my best with my partner to move as fast as possible.
As an election worker in my state, you arrive at 5am for 1 hour of setup. Open at 6am. Stay open, no breaks, to 9pm. Anyone on line at 9pm gets to vote, no exceptions. We were overseeing two wards. One had 1,325 registered members. The other had 6.

Checked into a hotel now, after working at a poll site from 4:30am to 9:30pm today. I'm now quarantined in the room for the rest of the week while things go on, then will get a rapid COVID test to ensure I met 650 voters and didn't catch anything.

It was great to see so much.
Nobody who came in to vote (or run the polling site) avoided wearing a mask. A few people had the mask-under-nose thing that's more clumsy than anything else. Dozens wore rubber gloves. Nobody shook hands or tried to high five.
Two people were cranked when it turned out they had come to the wrong polling place. Most who were told (about a dozen) just took the directions to the new place and headed off. Pretty much everyone was polite.

In in the district for a particular race for a New York State Senator position. It is held by a Republican named Sue Serino since 2015. It is being challenged by a Democrat named Karen Smythe.
The mailings have been coming in. A LOT OF MAILINGS.
Serino's stuff seems to be "Let's keep things going. We're doing great. I'll help with that." It does not go out of its way to call her a Republican. (Note the color shift in Red/Blue)
Karen Smythe is coming in strong, about how competent and world-changing she is.
