Popular Computing December 1985

I mentioned here some time ago how I understood Popular Computing had published one more issue than the apparently penultimate one I'd been able to find on the Internet Archive at the time. Not that long ago, I did find that last issue (and some of the first numbers). This rather business-focused magazine put one of its reviews on its front cover, featuring a "headless PC" the Macintosh would interface with through one of its serial ports. The review did make the point that for the $1800 the MacCharlie cost, you could buy a pretty decent PC clone (which would offer graphics as well as text) to go alongside your Mac. In any case, while there was still a next-issue preview promising a head-to-head comparison of the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST ("knocking on the Macintosh's door") and "part two" of a series on getting more from MS-DOS, this seems pretty much the end of the line for Popular Computing.

what really fucks me up about watching the truman show in 2025 is how it's not fictional. truman is fictional, but the truman show isn't.

there's thousands of truman shows. you find them on youtube, tiktok, instagram... family and mommy vloggers, sad beige moms and now the trend of neglectful moms showing the "reality" of parenting. all of them using their kids for entertainment. each child their own truman; living a life manufactured by their parents, a camera watching their every moment, broadcasted for the entire world to see.

I want every ad on the subway to be this one. And then I want this also posted elsewhere. And then I want people who don’t use earbuds or headphones while listening to music or watching their videos in public to have their phones explode in their hands and faces. Or they get shunned and banned from public spaces.

It's funny seeing my former bully who was constantly picking on me at school (even during the national anthem) now being a proud illegal street racer while AT THE SAME TIME supporting the current far-right president because "the country needs order".

anybody else feel that being human is like being a long-time syndicated cartoon character watching the world get more complex while your own design stays the same until youre incongruous with the reality around you??
