#1980a
This pic is from a paleontology book that came out in the early 1980s. I had it when I was a little boy in NH.

I remember seeing this woman and thinking thats who I wanna be when I grow up. She gets to study dinosaurs!!

Just found a copy of the book at the museum and it feels surreal.

We win! 🦖💖🦕

It’s kind of astonishing how much the current pop culture criticism of second-wave feminism is using legitimate critiques by women of color, trans people, etc. as a thin coat of paint over the 1970s and 1980a reactionary male backlash toward it.

Core memory unlocked, my wife found old sets of The Great Muppet Caper glass cups from the 1980a in storage at their HQ 😂

Damn Bluesky was glitching out for me for about 10 minutes.

Finally got there. Just ignore the 1980a. In the words of Hoobastank, "I'm not a perfect person.

April 5/6, 1980a
12 miles southwest of Mount St. Helens, Cougar is caught in a crossfire of uncertainty. The Washington National Guard arrived on Sunday. Roadblocks moved. Boomtown to a ghost town—overnight.

“We don’t know if they got any idea that mountain’s gonna blow,” said one business owner.

summer reading part III-- went to Stemberger (1982) for an example and realized that there's a nice discussion of how we sometimes misclassify other people's variations as 'errors'. also this phrase: "just beyond the bounds of the grammatical"

The keyboard in the original post is the Model M 122-key Terminal keyboard on the top in this photo.

The other two are a standard-size Model M keyboard and a tenkeyless Model M (called SSK, for space-saving keyboard).

All of these are from the 1980a and can be used today with adapters.

1)I’ve rewatched Heated Rivalry 3 times. As a gay man who came out pre-Stonewall the long dance between Ilya and Shane is one I did with everyone from my first boyfriend in High School, until sometime in the late 1980a. The way the got to realizing they love each other and finally saying it was also

Jfc this is tired bullshit recycled from the gd 1980a. Free speech on campus is a problem in the same way kids these days are a problem. Iow not at all.

Ex chemist here. Many years ago (1980a) I was assigned a manuscript review by my PhD supervisor in my 2nd year (I didn't do an MSc). So it's not new. I always assumed he looked at it himself before returning to the editor, but I found it both worthwhile and stressful.

Wrong - most states used to have gun safety courses in the schools in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, even as late as the 1980a for some.

Safe storage laws mean nothing until after the fact to prosecute parents after their kids have shot someone.
Common sense is teaching gun safety at home - clearly, but

I just finished it and so many core memories unlocked. It holds up SO WELL 10/10 -1980a animation
Yo. Brave Little Toaster is on Disney+ FINALLY. I adored it when I was 6. Watched on repeat. So I decided to grown up revisit and hit a bong when I started it and I just sat here for ten minutes straight with my mouth agape. Totally still with a dropped jaw. This holds up so well for 1989 animation
