“I'm obviously not a visionary, but I predicted that the internet would be shitty back in 1999,” Kyanka told Motherboard in 2017. “Everybody was talking about how the internet was going to revolutionize everything and everything was going to be great, but nobody ever talked about how shitty the internet could also be.”

My uncle Sonny just passed away, joining my dad “punky” and other aunts.

He was an original- he seemed disappointed that my husband wasn’t packing at my cousin’s wedding. RIP Morrie.
