It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Anyone recommend a good system to store qualitative data or screenshots? I've been using an Excel spreadsheet and uploading screenshots to a Google drive but I definitely need a better platform.

I’ve really dug all the D+ SW shows, but this one in particular has one of the very best antagonists in Star Wars full stop. I hope we see more.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

If this were any more baby boomer it’d tell me the problem with my generation is that no one wants to do puzzles anymore.

So Dave I’ve been trying to understand this project from a rights vantage. Is this a fan film? Is it officially licensed by Paramount but wholly produced by OTOY and the Roddenberry Archive as a third party vendor?

Are we talking downtown Gotham or what they get up to near those abandoned joy buzzer factories/amusement parks/fair grounds?
