Just used the website to contact a lot of the representatives.
It's depressing how much effort is put into mass surveillance 😭
Dystopian surveillance systems and what you should not do to them

all politicians lie.
they have to.
they have no choice.
if they don't lie, their parties don't win.

Forgive the #politics - but Binface's Ceefax Manifesto is superb piece of retrotechnical art.

Just amazing watching someone who's entire living is made by being popular try to weasel out of the consequences of doing unpopular and immoral things.
Ed Sheeran:
"Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine,"
Sheeran wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. "I would never let down the fans who had made plans, nor would I abandon the touring crew and the other support acts and musicians who rely on me for work and to make a living."
So here's the thing Ed, you could PAY YOUR ROADIES YOURSELF out of your estimated 400 MILLION DOLLARS.

Fetterman imagines himself the next VPOTUS (at least nominee), or get a powerful position in 2028 cabinet or 2026/8 Congress.
Why else would he do this?

I remember two American war declarations clearly. The Gulf War/Desert Storm with GHW Bush... I was sitting in front of the little TV in our basement rec room watching him…January 1991
and the day GW Bush invoked Article 5 and declared war on Afghanistan.
I was again, sitting in front of a TV, the only time I went to the home of the parents of my girlfriend at the time.
I remember that day in 2001 thinking, wondering whether it was the right thing to do.
It was right for Canada to abide by the NATO treaty. But the subsequent 13 years and hundreds of dead Canadians, for what is now, the same Afghanistan as before, if not worse, makes it clear following blind rage does not solve anything.
This deAdder cartoon from that time, that he posted on his blog today, is good.

Here is a story about the response in Vancouver at YVR.
It was the same at Gander, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax (not sure if there other Canadian airports that turned into refuges)
""I remember going to my manager airside and this is the detailed instructions I gave them: You’ve got 34 jumbos coming, figure out where they can park," Richmond said.
"And they figured it out." "
"It was a team of airport staff, including people who were normally plumbers, carpenters, and electricians. She said it was a similar story all over the airport that day.
"People who work in our offices ... they were working alongside a guy who normally replaces baggage belts," she said. "
"The one word she used to summarize the day: humanity.
"We saw the very very best of it. As we know, we also saw some of the worst of it. But the very best of it so far outweighed the worst of it."

The book describes the political headwinds the Dutch company ASML found itself in, after people found out what the strategic importance of their products was. It is however a very light book. It glances over ASML's history, jumps back and forth in the timeline, and it keeps repeating itself. The authors love to talk about how amazing their own research work was, and how the authors this and how the authors that. I don't trust people who speak about themselves in the 3rd person, and are not God Emperor of Planet Earth. So low score, there are better books about the subject.

This kind of behavior from the dipshit is just gross.
"Employees of the US Department of Agriculture, the State Department, and the Department of Labor, who spoke to WIRED on the condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation, say that they were disturbed when the app appeared on their phones. Some attempted to delete it, but to no avail.
“I deleted it as a test and it came immediately back,” says an employee from the USDA."

This is an excellent and in depth interview mostly about Trump, how he works, and why we’re here in this state of the world.
Scaramucci surprises me with the quality of his answers, and he says we should not discount Trump as “stupid” either, so point taken.
Sit down for 45min and check it out on @…’s new long form YouTube channel.
I am left disturbed, confirmed, but also optimistic that someone like Scaramucci is optimistic.

The authors make a very clear argument against all merit of the current Media extrusion machines being peddled by Silicon Valley. The book lays it all out in all the details. Unfortunately it's not helpful in giving tools how to fight back, although that is to be expected. I higly recommend slapping the leadership of your organisation in the face with this book, or at the very least make them read it.
