Linking this article just for the Palantir CEO quote at the end wired.com/story/doge-hackathon…

"We love disruption and whatever is good for America will be good for Americans and very good for Palantir,” Palantir CEO Alex Karp said in a February earnings call. “Disruption at the end of the day exposes things that aren't working. There will be ups and downs. This is a revolution, some people are going to get their heads cut off."

Do This: HANDS OFF! National Protest this Saturday, April 5th


Hello and welcome to another Monday planning day. At time of writing, I don’t actually know how this past weekend’s Tesla protests went – I’m writing this well in advance, and scheduling it to go up no matter what happens. But hopefully you were there and hopefully it went well.

This weekend is bigger. It’s called Hands Off! and it’s not specifically Tesla focused, it’s against the entire Musk/Trump administration agenda.

Like with the Tesla protests, there are hundreds scheduled. Like the Tesla protests, not all are at the same time of day – I have two in reasonable range of me that don’t even overlap so I may be able to show up at both.

You have options is what I am saying.

Go find a good one for you, make the time, and get out there.

And good hunting.

HEY EVERYONE DOING PROTESTS LISTEN UP


One addendum to the last post:

We need to do our own reporting. We need to talk about these protests. To everyone. You need to post about them, at least to say you did them, that you were there.

The media’s not reporting it, so WE HAVE TO REPORT IT INSTEAD.

Which is one reason why I’m writing all this up. WE have to spread the news, because THEY will NOT.

Seriously, the fash podcasting littleman I talked about last post? He was literally the ONLY media to show up. No other media was there.

So once again, we have to be that media. For real.

In my head transhumanism is this cool idea where I'd get to have a zoom function in my eye

But of course none of that could exist in our capitalist hellscape because of just all the reasons the ruling class would use it to opress the working class.

And then you find out what transhumanists actually advocate for and it's just eugenics. Like without even a tiny bit of plausible deniability. They're proud it's eugenics.

Clockwork PicoCalc is a retro handheld powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico


The PicoCalc is a new handheld with a retro design. At first glance it looks more like a graphing calculator than a modern handheld device. But it sports a QWERTY keyboard, a 4 inch display, and a mainboard designed to accommodate a Raspberry Pi Pico.

Available for $75 from the Clockwork Pi store, it’s also the latest in a line of retro-inspired, modular, and open source products from the […]

I have had massive issues getting my order delivered or getting any info. I would be cautious ordering from their site directly.

I have ordered from them many times and even met them in person multiple times — they are completely trustworthy; what was the issue that you encountered?
