Today's Manageable Goals Revolutionaries Practical Joke
1. Go to a coffee shop.
2. Sit down at a table near a well-dressed business person with your laptop.
3. Type on your computer whenever they say anything, and stop and look expectantly when they are silent. If anyone says anything, point to the email you were writing.

I thought about the Manageable Goals Revolutionaries when I saw some flyers in my neighborhood: Stop the Rush to Close Park Library.
Like the closure is okay as long as its done slowly.
About the time I get fired, I am going down to my local school board meeting and asking some simple questions?
- "when was the last time the school was painted?"
- "why are we laying off teachers instead of prison guards or airport planners?"
- "when can we get new school books?"
- "what percentage of the kids in 3rd grade can read?"
- "if there's no money, how come the Democratic victory party is always held at the Fairmont or Ritz Carlton?"
- "what's the budget for Mayor Newsome's re-election campaign?"
- "Obama said there'd be change. Are you staying the same because you didn't understand him or because you're disloyal?"
- "explain to me again why the school hasn't been painted."
- "can Mister Getty give us some money for school books?"
- "could we assess a 1% tax on baseball player salaries to pay for fire extinguishers?"
This is what passes for radical speech in American now.
I'm starting to wonder how I can Unionize.
I'm also starting to wonder how I can form a mob to burn shit down.
I have some dusty union contacts, although organizing in the computer industry has historically difficult.
However, some types of unions have a better chance at success in the computer industry. The passage of the Employee Free Choice Act would help considerable- and suddenly I wonder if it will be possible to join a union through signing up digitally- a massive potential boon. Perfectly suited for organizing the IT industry.
If you really want to know....
