Thanks for the post- I’ll have to go read this. I grew up in Lubbock not far from G. Ratte, He let me tag along to punk shows and urban exploring expeditions. He and other folks from the BBS and punk scene of the late 80s/early 90s had a profound and positive influence on my life. It will be interesting to read about from Menn’s perspective.

Pardon me, Miss. I’ve lived in Lubbock just short of 60 years. Nothing good or interesting has ever come from Earth’s anus.

meh, i’m not sure i like that a political candidate is winking at being some kind of secret mr robot because they used to write about doing drugs on the internet.
the halls of dc are littered with former counterculture types turned neoliberals. ooh, you got a dui and did some dmt, that has zero to do with whether you’ll make substantive changes to the system that perpetuates inequality, a system which will remain unfair no matter how many legal dank nugs you smoke
i still very negatively remember paying 150 bucks to see obama, only for him to promptly whinge about how we need to find a “middle ground” on encryption.
(i couldn’t tell him that though, because those were the nosebleeds and only people who paid a cool 20k+ got to actually talk to him)
someone needs to make beto (and the rest of the candidates) say the magic words:
privacy is a human right
hackers of the world, unite!
