Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury,

oh hey, New York Presbyterian has put out the call to recruit scabs from the NYSNA members on strike! And they have a web form to do so! And it just so happens that I know that the employee IDs are six digits, and the CWID is three letters followed by four digits and then [at]nyp[dot]org!

In London 2009, Gary Numan made a surprise appearance with NIN to play Numan's "Metal" & "Cars." I filmed it in one unbroken shot from the middle of the stage with a handheld DSLR.

Here's the full video, savor the Dudes Rock energy of two legends doing a big mutual respect ("Cars" starts at 6:38):

Good News: Paulina Borsook's "Cyberselish" will be reissued by Tin House books with a new introduction by....me!

I'll post the link when it's ready for pre-orders.

Never underestimate the power of a humble BlueSky thread!
1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

It's like you hang on thru the endless horrors that are omnipresent and also far away. And it's the small, personal intractable problems that threaten to burst the dam holding ALL of it in

Damn it's a good thing I'm not emotionally fragile or seeing a video of Winston would really kick me in the dick, fortunate that my dick remains unkicked and there is no boot print anywhere

historically, tech was an infinite money printer because you can write a program once and then sell it or its utility unlimited times. you can keep building atop existing things and not have to duplicate effort on remaking things that already exist

It's kinda funny that the miasma/bad air theory of disease, while incomplete, would be a better baseline attitude than what we have now which is that germs aren't real because I have to go to work.

Understanding where airborne disease transmission is likely to occur, & how ventilation, occupancy, & activity levels shape that risk, is essential for developing better risk‑management strategies & reducing global burden of airborne infections, & future pandemics.

though this is obviously played for comic effect, it highlights a glaring issue with the "we built a C compiler with agents" hype post: already having a copy of the exact thing you're trying to build is a show-stopping problem for any real-world project
