I borrowed a friend's old Tesla Model S last week. The low voltage battery died and the car went completely unresponsive, locking me out.
While I was still standing there trying to figure out what to do, my friend called me. "Hey, I just got an alert from my car that the battery is low."

Stop buying new things. We have enough.

Access to the information about how to fix our things should be as widely distributed as the things themselves are.
Another person who watched this tonight and came looking for you. “We told [the lawyers] to fuck off,” is an automatic follow. Keep up the good fight!

Two years ago, a filmmaker approached me with an idea. They wanted to explore why we were stuck on this treadmill of buying more and more things.
