Thank you @MonaEbdrup, it looks awesome!

How indecent! When a manufacturer threatens to sue the people who saved lives by 3D printing valves for broken ventilators, you know it's time to rethink the whole IP thing btw cost when down from $11,000 down to $1 @wilbanks @Lessig @FrancoisTaddei techtimes.com/articles/24812…

Children learn what they live. Put kids in a class and they will live out their lives in an invisible cage, isolated from their chance at community; interrupt kids with bells and horns all the time and they will learn that nothing is important or worth finishing;

"Harvard has become The World's Premier Drive-through Reputation Laundromat" says @AnandWrites at @Harvard youtu.be/7m2AumufJfw?t=…

One species - our species - is threatening all other life on Earth. 1 million species are at risk of imminent extinction. I can’t think of a single thing more worthy of every ounce of humanity’s attention. This is the very future of life on Earth. bbc.com/news/science-e…

New #Banksy appeared at Marble Arch site of #ExtinctionRebellion last night: "From this moment despair ends and tactics begin. Despair is the infantile disorder of the revolutionaries of everyday life." Quote from Raoul Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life, 1967

The Boomer generation needed just 306 hours of minimum wage work to pay for four years of public college. Millennials need 4,459. The economy today is rigged against working people and young people. That is what we are going to change.

"The worst feature of contemporary university life, however, is the unstated, but real, requirement of ideological conformity."

"But for now, we need an urgent response to the risk faced by Kurds in Rojava. The situation is growing more dire by the day – and it is quite possible that Nato will soon conduct one of the worst genocidal massacres of the 21st century." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
