> Consider yourself unwelcome in the sudo room space pending a formal ban.
Before you (Mark Juul, Morgan Allen, Lesley Bell) shoot yourself(ves)
in the foot, I implore you to listen with your reason, rather than
your reactivity. For example, there are no hackerspaces that are
really thriving, do you know that? Further, the level of analysis
needed to fix sudo-room's problems are not simple. I say this from
someone who's managed hundreds of thousands of dollars, can legally
call himself a Doctor, have the auspices of MIT, and has been watching
the movement from high above to ensure that it doesn't fail.
Sometimes trouble follows individuals not because they are guilty but
because they refuse to compromise in a system that DEMANDS it. (In
any event, you can sniff around further at
<linkedin.com/in/majanssen>.)
Hopefully, all of you took the time to read the important info in the
message (SUBJ: "Memberships") whereby I explained the complexity of
your explorations vis á vis the group known as Anonymous. Your
judgments are COMPLETELY inappropriate pending *actually* asking me
what my views are. Presumably, sudo-room doesn't require men to
desire male bodies EQUALLY to a woman's or to think that someone
DRESSING UP AS A GIRL has somehow magically acquired a uterus and all
the struggles that WOMEN have in this world. I mean really give me a
fucking break, because the word "inclusivity" can start to look
awfully like marshmallow fluff when you have a lock on your door.
(BTW, I will admit to having a preference on the M/F question). The
same issue is present with noisebridge -- they screen people who
silently match their political ethos/pathos. It's the kind deep and
dangerous delusion that Christians have when they believe they're
fighting for Jesus.
This isn't a criticism of them, for I understand the difficulty of
what I call REALITY (the street), but better to be trained and find
heuristics to TRANSFORM these experiences than become another
bourgeois hangout for (mostly) boys.
You don't look incompetent, you look inexperienced. I never thought
you were noobs, it's just that it would be very difficult to duplicate
the analysis that's been done to make hackerspaces self-sustaining.
It's akin to making a national _constitution_. You should consider
that before you go excluding potential members who have offered to
help.
And finally, consider the part of the profile in which you apparently
didn't have any problems or concerns: "suicidal". After the failure
of Occupy, many of us involved in trying to make a balanced world are
getting burned out. The pressures of living are high and the hopes
are not. Hackerspaces were supposed to act as refuge and sanctuary
for such fighters. But it is getting sidetracked by MEN who blow
their load in each other's mouths and WANT TAX BREAKS. You didn't get
it at all: I was called a fag in high school, so were my friends, who
were more punk than I was. I can make legitimate use of that word and
know far more about it than you who may just be looking to be
"politically correct". Perhaps your interest in humanity in a joke,
but it implies that there is at least one human who is on the brink of
ending his or her life.
If the aforementioned all jumped to on Juul's train of thought without
due consideration, then my analogy was more apt than I had planned:
you are like the rats congregating on that sinking ship.

does anyone have some thin sheet aluminum, like 1/64" thick or so? like
24 gauge or so? I only need about a square foot's worth, or 6" by 24", or
two pieces 6" by 12" would be enough.
it should be bare aluminum color on at least one side. i'm making up
missing trim pieces for a car.
thanks!

Please take a moment to review your idea of memberships. I understand
your current policy as it is written. Are you aware that such a
policy amounts to a tacit dictatorship? (One person can decide the
fate of all future interactions.)
Onto your other points. You decided to explore a little more than you
were told in the membership application and it got you into jumping to
some conclusions that aren't going towards truth (as you would
otherwise, reasonably, expect).
The twitter account you mention has no face as it is a shared account
belonging to part of an activist collective called "Anonymous". More
to the point, it is a space for those with no voice, like those in
prison for crimes that your leaders do on an annual basis, the Native
Americans (who shouldn't be expected to learn how to use the internet
just to get justice). You apparently didn't wish to include those
tweets. The profile tag line that *I* had placed there was "So
transparent as to be invisible...." (and did not reference the female
directly). That is, in fact, how you found it at all. Unfortunately,
that tagline is no longer there. I'm still transparent, and you can
ask me anything you want, should you decide to use your freedom that
we've been fighting on your behalf for genuine inquiry rather than
forming premature conclusions that serve neither me nor the future of
sudoroom. We use this collective individuality as a counterpoint to
the adverse collective personality that you under one now called
"Annuit Coeptis" which you can find on the back of the US$1,
left-hand-side. That phrase is ancient Latin for "We are looking over
you" with the preposition "over" to imply, semantically, the notion of
parentship.
To the point, if you wish to go over all the tweets on that account
one-by-one, we can do that, in the presence of your the sudo-room
polit-bureau, if you'd like. I will admit, for example, that I had
indeed tweeted that women should [collectively] stop sucking the cock
of the anti-Christ. You got me.
As has been communicated on several occasions by Anonymous, anyone can
join this movement The membership application for the account in
question is much more simple. I just have to give you the password
and you are automatically in, there is no vetting process. ...But
judging from your message, I assume you wouldn't be interested. Am I

Please take a moment and reflect.
The note on the profile that you *didn't* take into account that these
are missives from the "uber-mind". Perhaps it is unfortunate that it
makes reference to a part of the female anatomy in a manner of which
you do not approve. I, myself, did approve, otherwise I would have
removed it, and I further know the intentions of the person(s) who set
that note in the profile believes and *fights* for women to be equal.
How much have you yourself done that? (I should note that I cannot be
certain that only the one individual set that profile, such is the
nature of anonymity and aggregating activism.)
I have to believe, for your sake, that your note was not sent strictly
with your own personality in mind, but also a result of a collective
consciousness in which you do not have complete control. Few do have

Hey folks
I ran into a beautiful SudoMember, and I'd like to start a sudo Travel
thread. A lot of us are planning on traveling this year and the next year -
some like me are aiming for Eastern Europe and Germany in 2017, others are
planning Costa Rica, and I'm hoping even for Africa.
If we are all traveling it would be cool to have a live teleconference from
SudoRoom back with the folks at home and/or with the folks who are also
traveling!
I really miss you guys! Focusing on a health-related project and want to
jam soon at SudoRoom evenings again

A few weeks ago, at the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) near San
Francisco, 5-year-old Jack Stabenow climbed a step stool to peer into a
machine that cuts cardboard with a high-powered laser. The red beam
precisely followed a squiggly building design that Jack had just
finger-drawn on a tablet computer. Jack’s goal was to make a building that
could stand up to the wind of a nearby table fan.
With his cardboard cut, Jack hurried to the assembly area where about two
dozen other kids his age labored over teetering, but well-taped,
creations. If these first attempts toppled in the breeze, that was to be
expected. In fact, back-to-the-drawing-board was kind of the point.
The kids were learning the cycle of design, prototype, test, and redesign
that’s a hallmark of engineering.
The museum staffers were testing a prototype, too. Last month, the museum
launched America’s first early childhood “fab lab”—for fabrication
laboratory—a suite of digitally controlled fabrication machinery, such as
3D printers, laser cutters, and milling machines.
...
Tonight is the second Wednesday of the month.
Come catch up on what's been going on with sudo and sign up some new folk
for membership!
There will be pizza and beer!

Hey everyone--> next Saturday there's a cool African-American bike tour!
*Brainstorming*
It'd be cool to do a SudoRoom/Omni style bike tour around downtown Oakland.
I think it could stop by . I don't have a lot of time top lan this now but
it's a thought
It could stop by qilomboi
