Compared to other 3D printer laws proposed this year, California’s is the most troubling. It criminalizes open source, reduces consumer choice, and creates a new bureaucratic burden. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

California’s bill, AB 2047, will not only mandate censorware on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives. Repeating the mistakes of DRM won’t make anyone safer,

Despite all the worthy celebration of Cory's latest writings, I still regularly quote, and re-read *Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town* with the same awe I get reading *Alice in Wonderland,* the nostalgic swoons of reading old loveletters, or having a father mountain mother washing machine.

Here's my brother being eaten by knitted octopus. Also not bothered.
Photo of a man standing in a messy studio withe windows behind him. He is wearing dark clothing and is holding his arms up, making the horned hand gesture. His head is covered by a knitted octopus, mostly bright orange with green, yellow and orange tentacles, and big black eyes .

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

This is one of my favorite recent random texts from a stranger. The whole “still in my room or in your dad’s room” is rich narrative material. Also the comma usage makes me wonder if the recipient is Captain Pete or the reverse. Thanks, Uranus x Mercury season!
