How to Protest Safely in the Age of Surveillance:
"The nation, fractured by war, disease, and famine, has seen more than 6 million people die since the mid-1990s, making the conflict the deadliest since World War II. But, in recent years, the death and destruction have been aided by
I’m sure this acquisition of Clay was in the works for a while, but the timing feels wrong so soon after the Automattic layoffs. I’ve been mostly supportive of Matt Mullenweg and Automattic through all the drama. I’d just like to see them get back on track.

AV cart trailer update! Got the axle and wheels attached, just about ready to roll! The fold down feet ended up a bit taller than I wanted, so I might swap them with slightly shorter feet.

I needed an updated bio for a conference in October.

They all appeared to be enjoying the president’s tough talk about the role he wants the military to play in policing the cities. MSNBC should not broadcast this.

Yesterday I introduced a new feed for great art, 24 times a day. Every hour on the hour.
