I'm reading a really good horror book right now: My Best Friend's Exorcism.

There's a scene in the book where the main character has a roller skating party for her birthday, and it made me think of a roller skating party I attended in 4th grade.

The girl who hosted it grew up to be an RNC official and helped get Trump elected.

I kind of hate her now.

Nostalgic souvenirs from my adolescent trips to computer game shows in London in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

I was an Amiga game developer back then, in search of a publisher for our small team's games. It felt like visiting heaven.

Mettete una sveglia alle 19:39 (1:39 ora italiana), perché Seven39 riporta indietro le lancette dell'internet. Questo social network sperimentale funziona esattamente per tre ore al giorno, poi chiude. Una ribellione nostalgica contro l'economia dell'attenzione che ci vuole connessi 24/7. Può funzionare? Vi dico la mia, ci ho fatto un giro.

Microsoft's 50th anniversary: where we learn that even reminiscing about the glory days gets a 403 #error. Apparently, #nostalgia is too high-volume for #CloudFront.

Memories.

As a youth I remember taking an 'unofficial' day away from education and wandering by the Tyne. My friend and I found our way to the Harbour Lights tavern in South Shields . . .

In the words of Uncle Monty
"I often wonder where Norman is now. Probably wintering with his mother in Guildford. A cat, and the rain... Vim under the sink, and both bars on. But old now, old. There can be no true beauty without decay."

Hey, remember SNES-101?
