    The third one is the debris from the Starship disintegrating.

    Do you know what the fourth one is? That’s the only one I didn’t know.

    And yeah, Jamie is one of the old legends. It’s pretty wild that his blog that was started back in another world is still operating, to me. It’s like finding out Rosa Parks is on Instagram or something.

      Are there any other OG web people still blogging, like Jamie?

      It’s not the same thing, but Ralph Senensky, who directed classic old-time episodes of shows like THE FUGITIVE and the original STAR TREK, is 102 and still has an active Facebook page. He no longer posts to his blog, but it’s still online and faskinating.

      Yeah, I’m old. Why do you ask?

        Cory Doctorow, and RMS on Mastodon, I put a little bit in that same category. For some reason they don’t seem as surreal as jwz.

        Yeah, I feel you. I think you and me and PugJesus need to start the Old-ish White Men On Lemmy Club.

          Thanks for this. It led me to Stallman’s site, stallman.org, which is still going and delightfully old school — pretty much entirely text. Definitely gets added to my surf cycle.
