Read & Share! Friends, Thank you to all who have written to me about my stay this past week in the intensive care unit. Unfortunately, as you may have heard, I came down with pneumonia. Truth be told, it was pretty serious, and other complications arose. But then, five days later, I was still alive — thanks to a combination of Directors Guild insurance, two I-V drips of alleged legal drugs, and a hospital TV that only got FOX News. I was released on my own recognizance, which I tried to explain may not be the best idea. I am now at home resting and binging on the Real Housewives of The Walking Dead. All my appearances this week and last week supporting the release of my brand new movie, “Where To Invade Next” (Conan, Bill Maher, Charlie Rose, NPR, etc.), plus a special primary eve screening tonight in New Hampshire, were and are cancelled. Needless to say, I’m pretty devastated. This film means a lot to me. To be sidelined – I can’t fly, I can’t travel, I can’t leave the house – in this, the most important week before it comes out… well, you can imagine what I’m going through. Trying to get back to just breathing is enough of a burden. To think that my film may now not reach the audience I made it for, let’s just say that doesn’t help the healing process. Many of you have asked if there’s anything you can do to help me. I have thought about it – and, yes, actually, there is something you could do to help me. I need you to be part of a quickly cobbled-together “army” of grassroots “ambassadors” who can do the work I was going to do this week to let people know abut the movie and convince as many as possible to go see it. I realize you haven’t seen “Where To Invade Next”, so I’m asking you to do this based upon my past work and your hope that I’ve made a compelling film that might affect change in this country, that will inspire people to think about things in a different way. I believe that’s exactly what I’ve done, and many who’ve seen it agree (LINK <http://www.salon.com/2015/11/04/michael_moores_gutsy_new_film_our_military_…>). I also believe this movie can have a huge impact on the elections this year. It’s won a bunch of film festival prizes, it’s made the Oscars shortlist, and some have called it my best film ever. Possibly, just possibly. But forget all that. Here’s what I will tell you: You are going to be seriously f***ed up by this film. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done. It will truly make your head spin for two hours while you “laugh AND cry — in the same exact moment,” as an audience member said to the cameras on the way out of the movie’s premiere. Last week, laying in the hospital, I watched one Presidential candidate attack the candidate from Vermont for his ideas being “unrealistic,” “pie in the sky,” and “ideas that sound good on paper, but aren’t going to happen.” The truth is, all these great “ideas” – free universal health care, free university, free day care, taxing and policing hedge fund millionaires – have already happened in nearly every other industrialized country in the world! And I have the evidence – and the film — to prove it! Throughout “Where To Invade Next”, I invade a whole bunch of nefarious countries, from Slovenia to Germany to France to Norway, and pry loose from them the tools they’ve been using to make their countries happy, shiny places. My goal: to show millions of Americans what these countries have been hiding from us so we can catch up and be #1 again! Remember “WE’RE #1!!”? Don’t you miss being #1 and waving those big foam #1 fingers at patriotic rallies? In my invasions, I don’t use any weapons, and no one gets droned. I show how to actually make all universities free (and great); how to give all workers five to eight weeks PAID vacation (which increases productivity and betters the economy); how simple and easy it is to give mothers (or fathers) up to a year of PAID maternity leave (which in turn benefits the company overall); how in the societies where woman have achieved true equality and power, everything just seems to get better for everyone; how to reduce the crime rate by ending the war on drugs and having a humane prison system (our recidivism rate is as high as 80%; theirs is 20%); how the economy bounces back faster and is safer when bankers are put in prison; how students in countries without standardized tests and needless homework perform better than our students (and that countries which have more arts and music in their schools do better in math and science)… and on and on and on. By the end of the movie, you’ll want to go live in one of those countries. But instead, I’ll show you how we can make all of that happen right here in the USA, right now. So, what do you think? Can you be a virtual ambassador for “Where To Invade Next”? I know you can’t go on “Good Morning America” for me, but there are a few easy things you could do right now from your computer or mobile device. Here’s how you can help “Where To Invade Next:” First, go see it! Text some friends right now and say, “hey, let’s go see this Friday night!” Commit now to go to a theater that’s playing it this coming weekend. It’s opening in every major and mini-major city in the country. If you live in a place the size of Binghamton, NY, or Grand Rapids, MI, then they’re going to be playing “Where To Invade Next.” The final list of theaters will be out later tomorrow, but here’s a partial one for now (LINK <http://wheretoinvadenext.com/>). Right now, you can TWEET the following: “.@MMFlint’s 1st film in 6 years is coming out and he needs our help with #WhereToInvadeNext! Read & RT! http://michaelmoore.com/WhereToInvadeNextArmy/ <http://michaelmoore.com/WhereToInvadeNextArmy/>“ Right now, you can FACEBOOK the following: “Michael Moore’s 1st film in 6 years is coming out and he needs our help with #WhereToInvadeNext! Read & Share!http://michaelmoore.com/WhereToInvadeNextArmy/ <http://michaelmoore.com/WhereToInvadeNextArmy/>“ At the bottom of this letter is the hi-res version of the film’s poster! Feel free to send it around, post it on your social media, download it and print up some flyers, or use it graphically any way that you want. Send the trailer to everyone on your contact list: (https://youtube.com/watch?v=r4JJvfrkH3M <https://youtube.com/watch?v=r4JJvfrkH3M>) Over the next few days I’ll send you other things you can do, like organizing screening parties for this weekend, sending me photos from your theater that I can post, and sharing with your friends exclusive clips from the film which I’ll send you. If a few thousand of you suddenly became champions and ambassadors for “Where To Invade Next”, then maybe we can pull this off. I certainly would be forever in your debt. Thanks for being there for me. All my best, Michael P.S. – Please forward this letter to everyone! Or share it on Facebook. Here’s the hi-res poster:

Anyone still working on sudo-humans?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

I haven't seen any movement in sudo-humans for months. We've started using the system for CCL, but currently it's still less functional than the Everbutton system we moved away from. There are a number of bugs in the system, and a slew of feature requests. Any chance we can bribe someone with some beer, mead, cider, pizza, mushrooms, or biohacking classes to take care of some of these? Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks! Patrik

Hack the Left: An Anticapitalist Hackathon

by Brandon

Hey ya'll, I'm throwing an event. Blurb: ----- *Hack the Left* is an anticapitalist hackathon, February 5-7 at Noisebridge. This is an experiment to see what happens when you get a bunch of leftists in a room for a weekend with the intention to advance liberatory and anticapitalist projects using technology. This includes software projects like Tor and Signal, art projects like the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and Men in Grey, hardware projects like mesh networks and signal jammers, and tools for rad organizations like Anti Police-Terrorism Project and Food Not Bombs. It's clear that there's a huge amount of opportunity for liberatory technology. It's up to us to build it. We also need people involved with left-aligned organizations, technical or not, to show up and help guide all the technical folks towards doing things that are actually useful. We want to build with, not for. For more information and the answers to probably all of your questions, please check out the website, hacktheleft.com (redirects to the Noisebridge wiki page <https://noisebridge.net/wiki/HackTheLeft>). Cost is a recommended donation of $15. In the unlikely event that this makes any money, it will be donated to Noisebridge. ----- I'd love for people with a wide range of skills to come, from programmers to artists to welders. Right now I'm especially interested in getting people involved with existing lefty projects and organizations to think about coming and guiding teams towards doing useful things -- if that sounds like it might be you, please get in touch (or at least come so we can maybe build something with you). Cheers, Brandon

Hey all, I got word that Max Cadgi can't find his bike which seems to have been removed from omni commons yesterday. I also had left a bike here last night (stupidly I left it unlocked in the sudo room) that is also now gone! If anyone sees a gold benotto 50th anniversary steel road bicycle frame, possibly still with blue handlebar tape or a blue tool bag on the handlebars, please let me know. cc'd max so he can describe his bike too. // Matt

Electrical work to help out with sudomesh/peoplesopen.net

by max b

A location that we're doing an install needs a little bit of electrical work before we can put some radios on their roof. Specifically, I think it would include: - Breaking out wire from some existing conduit outdoors and adding another section of conduit. - Installing a NEMA (outdoor weatherproof electrical/etc.) box. - Adding a breaker to the circuit breaker where the second line in the conduit would connect. This would be a huge help as this location has the potential to be a pretty awesome hub and we just need a little work to get it up and going. Thanks a bunch! Maxb

card access questions for Omni general membership

by Jake

As one of the people with the ability to edit the Front Door Magnetic Card Access System, I have a few questions for everyone to think about: What are our requirements for information kept on each card? This information is only available to people like myself with root access on the door control computer. I was going on the assumption that, for each card able to open the door, we should store the following information: 1. the name or nym identifying the person who will be using the card 2. a way to contact that person (phone number or email) 3. at least one affiliation with a member collective (sudo, CCL, BAPS etc) I have been seeing cards getting added to the records without #2 and #3 and I wonder if we, as Omni, thing this is a sustainable policy. Also, I don't know how many people have access to the door control computer, and access is presently anonymous. Is this something that should be more curated? We have a mailing list access(a)lists.sudoroom.org but I never get any responses from anyone on the list. thanks for your thoughts on this. -jake

Coming up at CCL!: CCL has a lab robot! Now what?

by Marina Kukso

hi all, one last thing from CCL - they now have a lab robot! if you're interested in learning more about this robot and possibly being a part of its assembly, operation, and programming, come to the protein modeling meetup this fri 1/29 at 7PM: http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/228129282/ . in addition to protein modeling, this meetup will include discussion, plans, and next steps for the robot. Forwarded conversation Subject: [CCL] CCL has a lab robot! Now what? ------------------------ From: *Patrik D'haeseleer* <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 9:34 PM To: "cclmembers(a)googlegroups.com" <cclmembers(a)googlegroups.com>, " counterculturelabs(a)googlegroups.com" <counterculturelabs(a)googlegroups.com>, "cultlabsboard(a)googlegroups.com" <cultlabsboard(a)googlegroups.com> As most of you probably have heard, CCL acquired a large OpenTrons <http://opentrons.com/>lab robot (pics below), thanks to our friends at Arcturus Bio <https://www.arcturus.io/>. Which is awesome, except that we don't really have space for it, or anyone who knows how to run it at the moment. :-D If we are going to keep this beast, we should also put together a core group of people interested in care and feeding of a lab robot. *PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE INVOLVED!* There is a bit of a community around the OpenTrons platform, and I'm sure we could come up with some interesting applications. Unfortunately, the robot was too large to fit in the truck, so it had to be substantially disassembled to bring it over. So the first thing we should do it to reassemble it. But before we can do that, we need to *figure out WHERE to put it.* Couple of options: 1) Install it on one of the lab benches. This would take up most of a lab bench, plus some space next to it for the freezer. 2) If we lose the freezer, we should be able to cut down the axes so it fits on about half a lab bench. 3) We could find some place elsewhere in the building to put it - likely in the basement. Welcome to any other suggestions! Here's some pic of the robot in its full, functioning glory: And here's its current sorry state, disassembled and taking up way too much space: Patrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Counter Culture Labs" group.

I strongly feel that we should keep the robot. I have a feeling that once Noel's protein software group gets going, we might start to attract more programmers and engineers into the lab.

He said he would be attending next weeks delegate meeting to request a spot for the robot in the basement because this sucker is big. -Mary Sent from my iPhone On Jan 18, 2016, at 10:30 PM, Kathy Buehmann <kathy.buehmann(a)gmail.com> wrote: I'm interested in helping reassemble the robot and figuring out how to operate/care for it. I'll put a sign up on it tmr for those who don't read their email :-P I'd love to have a group of 4-5 people who are educated on and interested in caring for the robot, and whose names are written boldly on it somewhere for when newbies are ready to give it a try. Real vegan cheese, open insulin, alex n, mary/maureen, and other projects out there: do you have any foreseeable need for a high thruput liquid handler in the near-ish future?

I have realized that it takes a lot of work setting up, deploying, testing and maintaining the software tools for the whole lab to benefit. I worked with three new tenure-track faculty during my PhD, and it took months of installing, scripting and debugging before the software tools could be put to work on projects, and longer to turn them into publications. Outside academia, it should take less time and work. At CCL and Biocurious, I have tried to help people with the CRISPR-CAS9 and Insulin, only to find out that I cannot do this by myself, even with the know-how. CRISPR-Cas9 is too large a protein to do much on a personal computer, and I do not have the required software to build a linker for the insulin project. So, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage volunteers who want to work on the robot or computational protein design to join me for a presentation on January 29th. The meeting is on Protein Structure, visualization, modeling and design <http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/228129282/> and it is on meetup.com. That will be the starting point for organizing volunteer efforts for the software side of the Counter Culture Labs. People of all levels of skill are welcome. I will provide papers, book references and guidance for those who are not experts and want to learn the fundamentals of the biophysics of protein dynamics and design.

I also submitted it to the funcheap website. I'll post it on CCL's Facebook and start marketing the class over twitter later tonight. I was planning to do a 2-week class marketing push anyways.

We could use some help making the class listing on Meetup a bit more attractive. I pasted in some images, but the meetup editor is rather minimalistic (no image resizing - really? ) I believe you can paste in from Word or a web page though, and it'll preserve some of the formatting that you cannot edit directly in Meetup (sigh)...
