Here's "Subatomic," an artwork about the search for something impossibly tiny.

It's one of the artworks from my show, "Desperate Remedy/Little Ones," focusing on the search for neutrinos at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, a particle physics lab ~1.5km / 4850ft underground in a former gold mine; I am their artist-in-residence for the year.

A few days after this, Star Tribune informed Angela Denker that they weren't renewing her contract. Three days ago, she shared the editorial that Star Tribune refused to publish. It speaks truth many of us, including media outlets, do not want spoken.

Denker says,

"Among others, Kirk was the progenitor of a new sort of young, white, male conservative."

The most common forum used today seems to be Discourse. Blogs are WordPress. And retail is Shopify or WooCommerce (which is just another flavour of horrible and dysfunctional).

What have we done to deserve this?

(Don't answer that, I've read history books.)

Me when I have to wade into a Discourse theme to fix an issue for somebody: "OMG, this is a horrible POS. No documentation to speak of. Hyper complex. Why is anybody using this?"

Me when working on Wordpress: "OMG, this is a horrible POS. Why is anybody using this?"

Same with Shopify or pretty much any given established web project that's commonly used.

It genuinely feels like pretty much everything in tech, popular web software especially, is just unusably awful.

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

Primary source for the WIRED satellite story. Truly incredible work.

https://satcom.sysnet.ucsd.edu/

We pointed a commercial-off-the-shelf satellite dish at the sky and carried out the most comprehensive public study to date of geostationary satellite communication. A shockingly large amount of sensitive traffic is being broadcast unencrypted, including critical infrastructure, internal corporate and government communications, private citizens’ voice calls and SMS, and consumer Internet traffic from in-flight wifi and mobile networks. This data can be passively observed by anyone with a few hundred dollars of consumer-grade hardware. There are thousands of geostationary satellite transponders globally, and data from a single transponder may be visible from an area as large as 40% of the surface of the earth.

@ChrisWere @uoou and myself finally got together to ramble our way into a finale of this iteration of our show. As always it is mostly us talking nonsense but, hopefully, entertainingly.

Very impressed that the UK Green Party have now passed 100k members, after a 50% increase in the last few weeks. That's now more than the Lib Dems, and probably getting close to the Conservatives (though they don't publish their numbers).

Seems that actually standing up against the far right, rather than pandering to them, is pretty popular!
