Are the police certain this isn’t terrorism? I know you young people don’t remember 9/11, but we older folks are still traumatized by that terrible day.

I don’t have a problem with the underlying spirit of this sign, fake though it may be. In the 1960s in Haight-Ashbury we had a thing called the Diggers Free Store. No merchandise in the Free Store had a price tag. The Free Store was predicated on the idea that freedom involves first liberating the imagination from…

Those numbers are not to be trusted. There are many seniors who will tell you they could blithely pass up their last chance to vote for a Kennedy, but they’re wrong.

You young people always overreact. Joe is fine. He had one bad debate. Big deal. A week from now we’ll all be laughing about it. Two weeks from now we won’t even remember it.

No thinking person really believes Joe Biden is senile. Joe has been a fantastic President and there is NO DOUBT he could serve another four years and be just as great as ever.

Yes, it is. We Biden voters had been frozen out of Twitter in 2020. Twitter was all Bernie all the time. That’s not Freedom Tech. Mark Zuckerberg gave us a voice and we used it to defeat the Bernie Bros and MAGA. Joe wouldn’t be President without Facebook.

Facebook is the real Freedom Tech.

So what? Visionaries are difficult to work for. That’s been true since the dawn of time. Do you think it was easy to work for Ken Kesey? Or Joni Mitchell? Or Che Guevara? Or Mao? It wasn’t.

Thanks for this handy tutorial. I used it to take a snapshot of a youTube video of the Dead’s famous Veneta 1972 show from August 27. Veneta is a notoriously overrated show but it does contain possibly the best China/Rider of 72 and I quite like the Bird Song and Dark Star. Overall a very good show, but not up to…

Removing the act of payment spiritually elevates the shopping experience. As you exit the Amazon store without paying, a door opens in your mind and you glimpse the possibility for a more humane system of living than heartless Republican capitalism.

Amazon Just Walk Out stores are fantastic. They are exactly like the Diggers Free Stores in Haight-Ashbury back in 1966 and 67. The communal spirit is the same. Anyone who was in the Haight in the sixties will tell you that. Everyone who comes into the Just Walk Out store takes only what they need. And there’s no…

This is interesting but what about sound? I tried googling “best laptop sound for Crosby, Stills, and Nash CD” and couldn’t get a good answer. I found some generic information about music but nothing specific to Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

Courteney Cox turns 60 in June. Gizmodo is making all the right moves to become more senior-friendly.  This is welcome, if overdue. We seniors are the most loyal audience a media company can have and advertisers crave our views.  The computer tutorials have been really helpful and I’m telling all my senior friends…

Don’t forget to wipe the keyboard with isopropyl alcohol after your grandchildren have used the computer. Seniors are vulnerable to COVID-19 infections and children are potent germ vectors. Also remember to get your booster shots.

We seniors know about Google. We prefer having the best computer tutorials collected in one senior-friendly website with a helpful community of commenters. These skills may be basic to you but to us they’re not.

Thank you for this amazing well-explained tutorial. I have some Joni Mitchell CDs that I’ve wanted to record but I didn’t know how until now. I’ll recommend Gizmodo to all my friends. They are seniors like me. I can’t wait to hear my recording of Court and Spark in my car.

I generally liked Jezebel but it was never as senior-friendly as Facebook. That was Jezebel’s downfall. We seniors are the most loyal audience there is. If our traffic is down it’s only because some of us have died. Jezebel never learned that lesson.

I agree with Musk.

Sure, but you have to remember some kids like Patty Hearst couldn’t become hippies because they had too much privilege. It wasn’t until the Symbionese Liberation Army kidnapped her that she became a revolutionary.

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.  Maybe truckers feel they have nothing to lose with these protests.  I don’t know.
