I found a higher-res version of that photo of coolest-person @SusanKare, and I wish I could zoom and enhance on every single toy, note, and scrap of paper. I can only make out the "1983-84 Texaco-Metropolitain Opera Radio Broadcast Schedule". imagazin.mk/wp-content/upl…
Super eagle-eyed @davehayden recognized the paper pinned up on the left — it's an illustration from the original MacPaint manual! How have I never seen these incredible robots before!
And here's one more figured out! I'd love to see close-up of that billboard. (Chris, just in case you didn't know, was Apple employee #8!) The answer:

Long ago, there was an Xbox Live Support Forum for suspended accounts, and incredibly, employees would reply and explain the bans. It was so good, I would read it every day — mostly for the schadenfreude of idiot kids playing dumb and getting called out.
Well I just found a long-lost folder of screenshots I took from this forum, so here are a handful of example posts.

I almost just got scammed hard: a cautionary tale. So, I got a call from the 1-800 number on the back of my ATM Card: Wells Fargo. I answered, and a Fraud Department agent said my ATM card had just been used at a Target in Minnesota, was I on vacation? Ugh.
So the card-replacement dance began. “Is the card in your possession?” It was. The agent asked for the CVV code to verify i had it. After verifying, he offered to expedite a replacement. First he had to read some disclosures. Then he asked me to key in a new PIN.
I picked a random PIN and entered it. Verified it again. Then he asked me to key in my current PIN.

I paused.

“Don’t you… know my PIN?”
“It’s just to confirm the change. I can’t see what you enter.”
“But… you’re the bank. You have my PIN, and you CAN see what I enter…”

A story. When I was 13 years old (pictured), my family planned a road trip to Seattle. And all I wanted to do, more than anything else in the universe, was visit Nintendo in nearby Redmond. A photo of Cabel when he was 13 years old wearing a SUPER cool
Nintendo was everything to me as a kid. Their games changed the way I looked at the world — they’re why I open every door and press every button and spot every detail. I couldn’t eat without having a Nintendo magazine to read while eating. And…… heck yes I was a Fun Club member The The contents of the envelope, including a Super Mario Bros. sticker, issue 2 of the newsletter, etc.
I also called Nintendo Customer Service… a lot. (1-800-422-2602. Still memorized, and still works.) So before our trip, I called them up to make sure they gave tours. "Uh, I'm sure someone can show you around!" the guy said. Awesome!

So @franklez posted some pictures of the 1988 ItalDesign Aztec:

Which included this picture. I think it's an earlier version of the car (which was already super-limited!) with a slightly different dashboard.
BUT WAIT
ZOOM
I can't find a good example image but that looks suspiciously like a specific kind of 3.5" floppy drive.

Anyway, I found a higher res version of the same image.

Found a hideaway in the wastelands of #BigGAN.
A strange artifact in the distant mountains. Too far away for me to reach it with my scarce water supply.
I am a bit worried about my food supplies. So far I abstained from considering the wildlife in the surrounding areas for dietary purposes.

Found it.
This quick thread reply of mine & @ninaandtito's is to Alex Stamos, when he was still security chief at Facebook. You know... the guy at the center of @nytimes piece out yesterday. 😈
Needless to say, it got quite a bit of... attention.
And because Mr. Stamos might choose to delete his old thread, I went ahead & grabbed it in screen shots.
How does it read now, knowing that he knew all along about Russian interference in FB's platform & Sandberg's hiring of a @GOP op firm to spread their own propaganda?

The Contact Hypothesis is a Mess: Thread
1/n
 The Contact Hypothesis (hence, "CH") is an old idea in social psych: That contact between groups reduces prejudice. This was one central theme of Allport's 1954 classic The Nature of Prejudice, built on even earlier ideas.
Beneficial effects of contact have always been difficult to obtain, requiring an ever-growing list of conditions supposedly necessary or at least beneficial to get it to work (equal status, cooperation, common goals, supports from authorities, and more).
This recent award-receiving meta-analysis by Pettigrew & Tropp (2006) gave the answer so many social psychologists had been (I suspect) rooting** for. Slam dunk, contact works!
** nearly 6k citations
** supports left view/values (eg, immigration? let em all in, contact works!).

Hey Twitter, remember the Young Post-Doc Precarious?
You can now buy The Young Post-Doc Precarious on a mug, or as a sticker, or on a t-shirt. (Heck, if you want it on a duvet cover, give me a shout and I'll make you a higher-res version! 😂)

Are you a post-doc precarious? Cheer yourself up with a cushion or a travel mug or a postcard!

Are you a PhD supervisor whose student is about to graduate? Give them a glimpse at their future!

There's even a white version to go on black t-shirts!

Once upon a time (1883, and until 1977!) an incredible pipe network existed below London streets: the London Hydraulic Power Company. It powered incredible things, pushing compressed water from the Thames, into workshops, hotel & flat lifts, cranes & various mechanical things...
The London Hydraulic Company's water pressure lifted the curtains @TheatreRoyalDL, rotated stages at @PalladiumLondon, lifted Leicester Square Theatre's organ, the Palm Court orchestra platform and provided @TowerBridge's backup power. An incredible power.
Elsewhere, the Manchester Hydraulic Power Company's water pressure not only powered warehouse cranes - but re-wound Manchester Town Hall's clock and pumped air thru @ManCathedral's organ. There's equipment preserved at @msimanchester too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mancheste… (ht @EddyRhead)
