mixed use, walkable neighborhoods. rome, 1967

Woohoo. New book. Well, the second copy of this book but this one is updated. My old copy will be donated to my lending library I have in front of my house. Thank you @medus4.com and @cultdeadcow.com for an awesome read.

Central beats Northeast, 22-14!

People ask what it’s like to work inside the media meltdown. It used to be like musical chairs. Now it’s the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan.

CULT OF THE DEAD COW can neither confirm nor deny widespread media reports that the Revised Edition of the cDc book contains ascii art of Dildog's butt and/or the activation codes for the cDc Monster Truck Launcher buried somewhere beneath the Mojave desert.

I'm heartbroken to share that my friend of 30 yrs, Arthur Phillip Delchi, @delchi.bsky.social, DJ Delchi, has left us. A founding force behind DEF CON’s Hackers with Disabilities, a member of cDc Ninja Strike Force, a L0pht regular who DJed our wildest parties (two of those moments captured below)

We are the mighty and the chosen. Our power cannot be contained. cultdeadcow.com/nsf/

@delchi.bsky.social was SUCH a huge cDcNSF booster and organizer. He had a tough time of it, and it affected him a lot of ways, some of which were hard for him and others, but man he put in the work. He was particularly focused on disability access and awareness at hacker cons. RIP.

*FINAL MUSTER* CULT OF THE DEAD COW is saddened to report that longtime cDc Ninja Strike Force member, Delchi, has passed over the great rainbow teleconference bridge. He can now be found amongst the most blessed celestial engineers, venerating the great DemonSeed Elite, k-rad be his name. **

Spent the evening in San Antonio talking with Texans about the importance of running for a place on the ballot—from local offices to the State House. If we field a strong candidate for every office, we not only have a much stronger chance of flipping seats down ballot but also at winning statewide.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Just arrived: Advance copies of the first revised edition of Cult of the Dead Cow.

If we’re unable to organize politically, freely contest political decisions, peacefully and democratically vie for power, then we no longer live in a democracy. At that point, we’re once again subjects. That’s why we’re fighting so hard for our rights in TX. www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

Trump's tariffs causes SSENSE to file for bankruptcy protection. Devastating to small designers, as SSENSE is an important retailer for them.

Back on Bluesky (to stay), wanted to share what I’m up to. Held a town hall in Charlotte (see below) earlier in the week. There’s power in people coming together and listening to one another. If you get a chance to watch some of it, let me know what you think. www.youtube.com/live/cRettGN...

It's still insane to me how many people are in complete denial about the, objectively speaking, historic excellence of the US economy under Biden. The right-wing "up-is-down" disinformation campaign was incredibly successful at pushing the lie that the economy was somehow bad.

All NSF GRFPs to students choosing to attend Harvard in the Fall were just terminated

The NCI just shut down PDQ Updates for Health Professionals. One of the most trusted, evidence-based oncology resources—gone. Due to HHS restructuring and staff cuts. It’s not a joke. It’s a policy failure. #Oncology #NIH #NCI #EvidenceBasedMedicine #HealthPolicy #PDQ

The revised edition of Cult of the Dead Cow is coming this December! New cover, new members, new urgency. Cow more than ever!

www.gofundme.com/f/support-ma... CJ is an old friend and a longtime cDc NSF member. He suffered a fall and broke his neck -- his insurance refused to pay for an MRI, which led to the break going undiagnosed for a couple of weeks, until his vertebrae had degraded to the point of quadriplegia.

After several years of work I fully transitioned my home off of fossil fuels. Heat pump HVAC, heat pump hot water, induction stove, and electric cars. Most difficult step: having PG&E upgrade my underground service in SF to 200A. That took years.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

The Tamara de Lempicka show is stunning. 1920s and 1930s portraiture that seemed to define 1980s style. www.famsf.org/stories/5-th...

After @propublica.org reported on the cases of two women — Amber Thurman and Candi Miller — who died after they couldn’t obtain timely reproductive care in Georgia, the state has dismissed the entire maternal mortality board. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Can we just talk about art? I would rather talk about art. Anyone see any mind-blowing shows this year?

Whelp.

CALL FOR ART SUBMISSIONS 2024 is the 40th Anniversary of the founding of CULT OF THE DEAD COW. To commemorate this, we're going to be producing a challenge coin. We've got a design for the front, but looking for ideas for the back. Can anyone help us out? Details in thread below!

Hey @darthbluesky.bsky.social after years of allergy shots I was finally able to have a dog in my life. Please meet Agnes, named after Agnes Martin. She is the sweetest girl.

Join us in Oakland this Saturday at 4:30pm. We're excited to share our expertise on designing and building for Apple Vision Pro, which we've gained through 9 months of product iteration and OSS contribution. Our "missing manual" is a hard-won treasure, so don't miss out on this Q&A opportunity!
