I'm trying to remember more details on something I think I saw years ago: To protest an anti-piracy ruling, someone set up a little computer (raspberry pi?) to pirate and delete the same file (a song?) as much as it could in a day, which by the logic of the ruling "cost the rights holder $$$$$"

Nothing like enjoying the ephemerality of seeing the item I clicked on a website only to be blasted over with popups so frustrating I back out of the entire site, never to return. 🖥️ 🔥

/10 The Supreme Court and the institutions supporting it being corrupt doesn't mean that you stop defending accused criminals or suing to get your client what they deserve or fighting for justice in lower courts. When Nazis occupied Paris we didn't raze it, we took it back.

Fun fact: all communist parties are banned in the US on constitutional grounds, by reasoning that communists would, should they win, institute a post-state communist society, in which the constitution would be an obsolete and dead text. Which is the opposite of upholding the (or any) constitution
The next step usually, after this kind of rhetoric: banning a political party altogether.
Very difficult but not impossible in the US.

I’ve long believed Chicago is a logical “second seat” of the federal government but I’m just as happy for it to be the seat of the second federal government if that’s what it’s gotta be

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."
