It's even worse than it appears.

This is a draft of a petition I want to run on change.org. Comments and suggestions are welcome.#
Announce: Electric Pork as open source. I like to start developer projects at this time of year, when people have time to poke around and think and try ideas out. This year, I'd like to introduce a shell that I've created for Electron apps called electronLand. It hooks into nodeStorage and Twitter for identity and storage. I use this framework in Public Folder, Instant Dave and Electric Pork. I also have some unreleased projects that use electronLand. When it's ported all the projects should port as well. And the framework could prove useful to others, I hope. 💥#
If you have questions or comments about the open source release of Electric Pork, please post a note here. #
My dear departed uncle started a mythical union called The Amalgamated Bums and Drifters of America. I realize now that I qualify for a union card. ;-)#
In 2012, I argued that libraries should first support the open web before partnering with private companies. The moment was defined by the Library of Congress hooking up with Twitter. Blogs desperately needed preservation at the time.#
You know how NRA supporters say "it's too soon" to politicize gun violence. In the same way, even more so, it's too soon to politicize the Mueller investigation. Wait until there's an outcome, then if you object let your concerns be known. In the meantime be quiet. #
Ask yourself, seriously, what are the chances that one of the superstars of TrumpLand has tried on a Nazi uniform, just to see how it looks.#
Hint to political parties and news orgs. Come up with ways for citizens to help, to belong, to participate. I take pride in helping Citi Bike in NYC, even though it's a private corp. People want to help good causes. #
