„I created a list of 19 ways that the Nazis pushed Jews out of society between 1933 and 1939, paving the way for the “Final Solution.” They banned Jewish people from schools and universities, from the civil service, and from the media. They made it illegal for them to participate in sports, kicked them out of the military, and denied them state funded health care.“

„By my count, Republicans today are attempting to achieve all 19 but attacking trans people instead.“

A lot of hoopla about Google's new quantum computer chip. To put it into perspective, in 2019, largest quantum ICs had ~50 physical qubits. Google's new chip has 105. Experts estimate practical applications of quantum computing when scale reaches a million+, maybe in 60-70 years' time? (If ever)

(That is to say that the applications we're reading about in the Google press releases would require 1M+ physical qubits)

WARNING: do NOT read this one unless you really are feeling regulated enough to read a long list of potential consequences of national and world derailment.

I set myself the task to design and print 50 birds using a custom LEGO letterpress technique. This was in 2018. Figured it would take a year or so. I finished the last print earlier this year :-D

Presenting the complete series for the first time in an exhibiton in the workplace where the prints were made. Opening this weekend:
