“It will be a Cambrian explosion of democratizing making software!”
A thing I rarely hear about in the hype about all this: what do people actually want?
Like, I wouldn’t want to make my own shoes even if it was easy to learn how. I just don’t care. Someone else can make them better and I just give them money for it. 99.99% of people think about software like this.

“So you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza … And this is why so many of us can’t have a sane conversation with younger Jews because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments and they are just seeing in their minds carnage and I sound obscene.”

As far back as 2011 I posited the idea of each state enacting laws over the corporations chartered on that state's laws as a means to restrict the effect of the Citizens United decision.
I have been glad to see that idea grow into The Montana Plan and now this piece and possible action in California.
(Note that this state by state approach will probably leave "corporate havens" by states that want to reap the benefits of attracting corporations to move their incorpo…

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War
-- They are ignoring a judge's ruling,
ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe

House Rep. Rosa DeLauro (from CT) says:
❝I understand that many of my Democratic colleagues may be dissatisfied with any bill that funds ICE. …[But]… The Homeland Security funding bill is more than just ICE. If we allow a lapse in funding, TSA agents will be forced to work without pay, FEMA assistance could be delayed, and the US Coast Guard will be adversely affected….❞

That is the message I want Congress to hear. That serious. This is Trump starting a civil war.
