Board of Directors member @repaircoalition, general repair advocate, and nature enthusiast. I'm here to fix things -- both in the world and in my spare time.

Printers never work because they are an affront to God. Man was not meant to pull objects from the digital realm into the real world. Icarus is flying too close to the sun.

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al.

Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

We got our hands on a Trump phone and reverse engineered the manufacturing process.

Every year I sit down with my mother to explain how to use her phone and every year Apple sends 750 engineers into their little labs underneath their demonic Cupertino crop circle to come up with new and exciting ways to confuse her

i’m actually stealing AI’s job (wasting resources and making up stupid shit)

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

I’m like the opposite of AI. It took me over half an hour to write a simple email, and I didn’t consume a single drop of water all day.

Wall-E came out in 2008 and y’all still littering

[Congressman Pat Harrigan @RepPatHarrigan]

For 20 years, a $6 knob that takes one hour to 3D print has been grounding Black Hawk helicopters four times a month, and the contractor responsible won't sell us the part or the IP rights to fix it ourselves.

So instead, American taxpayers have been paying $40,000 every single time to replace the entire system, multiplied by four times a month, for two decades.

That is NOT a procurement problem, that is a shakedown, and it is exactly why right to repair has to be in this year's NDAA.

I’m just updating the firmware on my kitchen knife…

[Sly 🔎 @ykslyy]

It’s got two settings, Antarctica & Bahamas.
Engine gone rattle like a ‘97 Civic but it ain’t gone fail you. Can’t even hear the TV when it’s on.

[McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins]

I actually think it's useful to have a naif-like outlet start covering Washington and discover basic things like the Congressional calendar, which most reporters here take for granted and which many regular people would, in fact, find surprising/strange/bad.

that’s why no jeep wrangler ever jumped over the moon

[The American Legion @AmericanLegion]

The Warrior Right to Repair Act, introduced by @SenWarren & @TimSheehyMT is an important step toward improving the readiness of the armed forces. The legislation ensures that servicemembers have access to the intellectual property and technical data necessary to maintain the systems they rely on to fight and win the nation’s wars. Currently, many contracts for critical platforms include provisions that limit the @DeptofWar's ability to conduct repairs. The American Legion supports legislation requiring contractors to provide fair and reasonable access to the materials the military needs to properly maintain its equipment.

Interviewer : where do you see yourself in 5 years ?

Me :

[𝚃 @T_wontmiss]

24 years old.
Fully paid off Costco hotdog.
It's not "parents money".
It's not luck.
It's consistency.
It's discipline.
I grind EVERYDAY to live this lifestyle.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Farmers can't afford to wait months for a John Deere tech to show up and overcharge them to repair their tractor.

It's time to make right to repair the law of the land — for farmers, our military, car owners, and all Americans.

Space news is way better than Earth news.

Today our Artemis II astronauts fly around the Moon! Tune in, starting at 1pm ET (1700 UTC) as they view parts of the Moon never seen by human eyes.
