Data Center CEO chased out of Salem, OR city council hearing by protesters with guillotine.
Love that portable guillotine on wheels towed behind an Xtracycle extended bike.
Let's just say in a world of electrical/energy and water shortages, some cuts are necessary...

This guy is making a real, physical #SpaceCadetPinball table using #3DPrinting and off-the-shelf electronics. I don't think you could target a project more accurately at me if you tried, so I've been following along pretty religiously.
The third instalment is out, covering how he's designed *the wormholes* to work. There's also a playtest section at the end with a partially assembled table, and there's something special about seeing it come to life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wvKlX_NsGk

I'd really appreciate it if you'd share these links around.
I was today years old when I realized that "dammit I'm mad" backwards is "dammit I'm mad"
yikes.
Voyager is the best Trek.
As a newly divorced writer, I have the freedom to stop for ice cream whenever I want. This tiny town has more oddball art galleries than I've seen anywhere. Quirky coffee shops galore. The indie creamery makes their own ice cream from scratch and even offers gelato for dogs. I stroll down the marina street, enjoying my cone, window shopping at yet another quirky gift shop, when a tiny logo catches my eye.
This is a Hallmark Village.
If they take me alive I will be assigned a golden retriever, a fleece jacket, and a coffee shop before the sun goes down.
My glasses have turned darker in the sun. That'll help hide the dread in my eyes.
I straighten my Front Line Assembly hoodie. Protective camouflage, declaring "You don't want this one."
If I can make it back to the car, I'll be fine.
Keep licking the cone. Walk steady.
The guy sweeping the sidewalk in front of the used bookstore gives me a smile. "Good morning!" Giving a cheery greeting will invite conversation. A cold shoulder will invite attention. I settle for a noncommittal nod and a "Hi."
I'm almost past when the bookseller says, "Hey, what's that on your shirt?"
My heart plunges like a brick.
The hoodie has slipped open, exposing the T-shirt from the Capybara Cafe petting zoo. That's not just sweet, it's saccharine.
I pretend I don't hear. Keep moving. Don't let my feet speed up. If I panic, they'll be on me.
Behind me someone mutters, "We have a Grump."
The car is only a block away.
I can make it.
But between us, the coffee shop door opens.
Four men come out. One says, "I don't know where we're going to find another marina volunteer."
My stomach knots.
They've sent the Cinnamon Rolls after me.
I suspect I will be ruled ineligible under the proposed rules for the 2027 Wikimedia Foundation board elections, but if I am allowed to run here's the entirety of my platform:
* Support staff (direct CEO to recognize the union and agree to a contract; listen to recommendations by experienced staff on work needs)
* Support user communities (listen to recommendations by experienced users; generally direct staff to build the tools our editors need to reach the public)
* Oversight on spending
seriously the #AI bubble is being manufactured by the #OPEC #petromafia. the inevitability of #aislop is being manufactured to continue pumping #methane #gas and #petroleum or to justify building toxic and water guzzling #nuclear power plants.
the fossil fuel industry is a cargo cult and ai their cargo cult science
