There was an executive order last week that struck the sentence “Open source software plays a critical role in Federal information systems” from a prior cybersecurity directive in case you were wondering what Big Tech wants from this administration. Endless licensing treadmills for all!

i thought i'd found a typo in fraisse, chapter 5, volume 2, but no, i misread. fortunately, the margin is large enough for both my note, and its erasure (i used pencil!).

the oregon lege has metal detectors, as of 2022, but state legislators lead normal lives -- they don't live in gated or moated islands, they don't live behind metal detectors and they don't have security details. assassination is the word of the day. no assassins! #noassassins

two members of a legislature were subjected to assassination attempts yesterday. the speaker of the lower body is dead, as is her husband. two democratic party members shot to alter the majority in the state legislature.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

i for one appreciate the biden administration's secret, until now, lunar space base and barracks. good to see those arpa/darpa dollars pay off with an honest to gibblets moonbase. we now have unlimited look-down, shoot-down capability ... except during new moons and daytime, when we're blind as bats

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.
