"In the context of today’s global Internet, all of these past networks can be considered “lost events” in terms of Foucault—events in the history of computer networking which, unlike ARPANET or TCP/IP, do not have the present Internet as “a landmark or a point of reference” to which their histories can be meaningfully connected."

#HappyBirthday President #JimmyCarter!!! Jimmy Carter turns 100 today.
He is the first fmr #POTUS to live for a century. It defies all odds—Carter entered hospice care last year.
Health issues will keep him from attending celebrations in his hometown of Plains, Georgia where he still lives & they are celebrating the milestone.
He is delighted by #Harris’s presidential campaign & has said he wants to live long enough to vote for #KamalaHarris.
❤️🎈🎁🎂🎂🎁🎈❤️

Jimmy Carter turns 100, and his hometown is ringing in the milestone
Jimmy Carter is the first American president to reach 100. Locals in his hometown of Plains, Ga., are celebrating the man they know as “Mr. Jimmy.”Tim Craig (The Washington Post)
A Nonilex story:
I was 6 when #JimmyCarter ran for reelection, & the news was predicting a loss. I adored Carter & was very upset he wasn’t going to be president anymore.
One day as I was walking down a very intimidating staircase, my daddy holding my hand, I asked, “Daddy, why don’t you run for president?”
He turned to me & said, “Baby, only idiots & assholes want to be president.”
“Jimmy Carter isn’t an idiot or an asshole,” I rebutted.
“He’s the exception, baby.”
Carter left office at age 59, his best days lay ahead of him.
#presidentcarter
