Threat hunting is awesome, neurodiversity is close to my heart, but this was definitely the most fun blogpost I've written for work so far.

- Wisconsin Republicans tried to shut down active duty military voting by Absentee Ballot. a State Court rejected them.

“two Wisconsin voters and state Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R) against the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) alleging that WEC must immediately sequester and stop counting absentee ballots completed by voters in the military. The lawsuit was filed after Milwaukee Elections Commissioner Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata illegally requested three military absentee ballots under fake names and sent them to Brandtjen; Zapata was later fired and charged with a felony for doing so.”

Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
by Wendell Berry

Love the quick profit, the annual raise,
vacation with pay. Want more
of everything ready-made. Be afraid
to know your neighbors and to die.
And you will have a window in your head.
Not even your future will be a mystery
any more. Your mind will be punched in a card
and shut away in a little drawer.
When they want you to buy something
they will call you. When they want you
to die for profit they will let you know.
So, friends, every day do something
that won’t compute. Love the Lord.
Love the world. Work for nothing.
Take all that you have and be poor.
Love someone who does not deserve it.
Denounce the government and embrace
the flag. Hope to live in that free
republic for which it stands.
Give your approval to all you cannot
understand. Praise ignorance, for what man
has not encountered he has not destroyed.
Ask the questions that have no answers.
Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias.
Say that your main crop is the forest
that you did not plant,
that you will not live to harvest.
Say that the leaves are harvested
when they have rotted into the mold.
Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.
Put your faith in the two inches of humus
that will build under the trees
every thousand years.
Listen to carrion — put your ear
close, and hear the faint chattering
of the songs that are to come.
Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful
though you have considered all the facts.
So long as women do not go cheap
for power, please women more than men.
Ask yourself: Will this satisfy
a woman satisfied to bear a child?
Will this disturb the sleep
of a woman near to giving birth?
Go with your love to the fields.
Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.
As soon as the generals and the politicos
can predict the motions of your mind,
lose it. Leave it as a sign
to mark the false trail, the way
you didn’t go. Be like the fox
who makes more tracks than necessary,
some in the wrong direction.
Practice resurrection.

The Cyber Partisans is a digital resistance movement from Belarus. This group has claimed responsibility for several major cyberattacks, including a high profile operation against the Belarusian railway system that reportedly halted Russian ground artillery and troop movement into Ukraine.

I interviewed Yuliana Shemetovets, spokersperson of the Cyber Partisans, at Theater Neumarkt in Zurich. We talked about the group’s motives, targeting objectives, NFTs and
more.

The video is now online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipa_q5wRZes&list=PL0JijBOlUIIelMF4El4KWaYKe86SAUea_&index=4&t=431s&ab_channel=TheaterNeumarkt

Another quick update from @xor before I get out of the way: I will be at tonight's show (say hi if you see me!) so not on hand to debug. Hoping it works :)

OK, @xor here: I'm reasonably confident this bot will work tomorrow and for the rest of the MSG run, but I haven't yet been able to test against live data.

I'm planning to attend most of the shows, including this weekend if I can score tix (😉) which is not ideal for debugging. But I will try to make it work!

there are much more important things going on right now, but i'd love it if - during a moment when you just want to air your brain - you'd have a look at the gallery on my website & keep me in mind for portrait/illustration commissions. :) merci beaucoup.
