I'm having so much trouble getting the 501(c)3 status set up for my nonprofit that I absolutely can't use my Burning Man ticket and vehicle pass again this year. I get them because of being a founder. So I'm looking for someone who would like to have them. It's a gift.

@Unicorn@pagan.plus @MamaLake@beige.party I'm so glad that this ticket can go to someone who's wanted one for so long! And now that almost all the friends I used to go with don't go any more, or just zip in for a day or so, I'm happy to pass along the chance for this remarkable experience. I was recently exchanging letters with another person who was so central to the initial organizing, talking about how personal miracles happen out there, so I wish you one! Send me an email-- psegal@arthousesf.org.

@hrheingold@mastodon.social The book was one you did with someone else, Lucid Dreaming. And the company he uses to print full color books is Mixam; they do POD, too.

An interview I did for the podcast Shadow of the Man discusses the beginning of Burning Man; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur54XvtGDxc

@haverholm I have this fantasy that all the unemployed brilliant tech people will join forces and create better options...

@haverholm Unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy, and I rely on my IT person's advice. From what I can tell, Libre Office has incorporated Apple's old Pages program, and that has taken on AI. However, Microsoft has now added a button to undo the AI function. I guess scathing critiques are useful.

@haverholm Apologies for the typo. The weird thing is that lately I haven't been able to cut and paste things between one site and another. I don't know what that's about.

@haverholm I'm glad you asked because I was wondering the same thing. Yesterday I posted about how infuriating it was to spend hours doing normal tasks and after I finally got a blog post up, Wordpress sent me a questionnaire asking how they could improve it. I told them to get rid of AI and read Ed Zitron and Cory Doctorow. Or I suggested they offer the old non-AI version as a option. Here's something I wrote about AI: proustsaidthat.blog/2025/05/11the-microsoft-doom-loop/

In "A Very Weird Silver Lining," I explain how the extreme awfulness of a country that has ditched the Constitution for the 7 Deadly Sins is expediting the coming of the Age of Aquarius.

Here's the plan. Complete the bunker, with a an underground golf link plus cart. The handlers tell him bombers are headed to the WH and they're all moving underground. Have a TV that plays manufactured programming and actually fake news. Tell him there are potential assassins underground so they're keeping his space locked. Give him a fake phone connected to someone to say he'll follow orders. Have someone bring burgers etc...

Ooops. I'm glad it wasn't you, and all the best for your move. I'll have to go back and see who had all those issues. My life involves knowing too many names for a limited short-term memory to handle.

@hrheingold@mastodon.social When they[re ready, I'd like to buy one for an educator friend. I don't know if Dr,. Really? told you this, but one of the regulars at the Cacophony Society monthly meet-up is fascinated by one of your books and brought it to a meeting to tell us about it. That same Cacophonist is doing a full-color graphic aeries of stories, and he has printed the earliest issues. Since he's investigated pricing so extensively, I'll ask him if he found any good bargains when we meet.

@michaelc@scholar.social Without a doubt, I'm committed to the role of artists in America. In nearly every country on earth, artists are part of the common good. In the US, they're producers of marketable commodities. We're one of the few countries without an Arts Secretary on the Cabinet. (arthousesf.org). I'm a native San Franciscan, where a world-class movement in the arts nearly every decade of the 2Oth century. The last one to begin here was Burning Man, in 1990, planned in my flat for the first decade.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I've downloaded the browser three times, because I defintely want one that doesn't use AI, but I still can't get in. What am I doing wrong?
