Artist, creative tech, curator, art activist. My art focuses on the concept of interconnectedness and mutually beneficial relationships.
While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/hHUsS8S0

Anyone who knows anything about systems analysis will tell you this rewrite needs to be done properly and that will take years. Call you representatives and say no to DOGE doing another crappy job. www.wired.com/story/doge-r...
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Per this @theguardian.com article, if Tesla stock drops, it affects 1/3 of Musk's wealth. 1/3 is in SpaceX, which is totally enmeshed in the federal government.

We need to find ways to drag down SpaceX.

That’s what they really want. This time around the [inevitable] Revolution will demand the abolition of all unelected kings, from CEOs all the way down the pyramid.

While we’re at it, we can also abolish elections and have government / legislature selected by lottery (aka sortition).
