Stephanie Hofeller daughter of Thomas Hofeller, a prominent Republican redistricting strategist, made public all the contents of her deceased father's hard drives pertaining to gerrymandering and voting laws.

When asked if she was a democrat..

"'The reason I don't identify as a Democrat is because I'm an anarchist,' she says. 'I don't believe that we're going to really find solutions to the deeper problems of inequality in a system that demands a hierarchy, which is, by definition, unequal.'"

hot take lowtech 

w/ their "chinese wheelbarrow best wheelbarrow" and claims that covering 80% of the earth's land surface with coppice would be sustainable, I'm gonna say that low tech magazine, or at least some of their writers, have lost their way and are drifting away from being pro-mandatory-sustainability to pro-anything-not-West-is-Best

The latter is usually true but that doesn't mean EVERYTHING anti-capital is better.

For example, we cannot cover most of the earth in short-life forests.

I wanted to generate some low-poly (triangle) patterns, thinking it wouldn't be too hard.
turns out it is kinda hard, so time to reserach Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulation

@rigatonimonster it's this famous study where they said to a kid, "you can have one marshmallow now, or two marshmallows later," and the kids who took the two marshmallows had higher SAT scores and better life outcomes. This is supposed to prove that being able to delay gratification is good, rather than proving that people whose life experience has given them reason to trust authority and go along to get along have an easier time succeeding

oki it's bullet journalling time aaa let's get this shit set up

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you are struggling with your transition I highly recommend the vague but great advice of “Just try things.”

Do lots of different things and take stock of how you feel. And then do more things. Listen to yourself. Trust your own psychological and emotional responses. Some things won’t work, they won’t work at all. Stop doing those things

And when you find things you like, do them more. Find more things that give you that positive feeling.

Just, don’t ever give up doing shit.

@AudreyJune this is exactly what I mean when I make the lightning bolt analogy

lightning doesn't get it right on the first try, instead forking off this way and that, trying out various possible paths, but eventually all that forking about finds the path most suited to the lightning bolt, then it commits

the forked paths don't lead all the way to the ground, but that's fine, those were there to find the path that not only did, but did so in the best way

the lightning bolt discovers itself by continuous experimentation

if you were at #36c3 and enjoyed the origami teahouse in komona, we lost a few items over the course of the congress (mugs, half of an electric kettle (?!), teapots) you can send us teahouse organizers a donation to help cover costs:

But Jenny drew me charges
And she filled them up with water
And then called on Captain Pharrell
To be haaappyyyyyyy
Clap along if you feel
Like a room without a roof

my friends told me to "try wasabi nuts" and I did but turns out I'm not really into CBT, jfc this burns

Over the last few days we've had constant requests to respond to @moxie@twitter.com's 'The ecosystem is moving' blog post & recent 36c3 talk - we've tried to articulate Matrix's viewpoint over at matrix.org/blog/2020/01/02/on-.

uff, I wonder for how long seeing 2020 in timestamps next to posts will still feel weird

finally took the time to properly go through the entrance requirements for the thing I want to study next year.
I'm getting pretty fuckin hyped lets hope I am one of the 350 students that make the procedure
