Learning from the lessons of the 1%, I set forth to outsource our occupy-related labor to a robotic workforce. Robots obviously have many advantages over their human counterparts. For instance, robots never get tired, they don’t get cold, they don’t sleep, nor eat, don’t require tents, and when armed insurrection becomes necessary, robots are much more morally ambivalent. Additionally, we had a discussion with an unnamed member of the San Francisco police force and they confided in us that the police currently do not have any plan for dealing with robotic occupiers. For all of those reasons and more, I present to you Occu(pi) Bot; the first in a promising line of tireless, unstoppable, robotic class warriors.

The Occupied /b/
http://fffff.at/the-occupied-b/
For the last day of the Occupy the Internet Exhibition, we decided to go out with a bang, and occupy 4chan‘s Notorious B.I.B.—/b/ Image Board. As Evan put it: “exhibiting on 4chan is more exciting than exhibiting at the MoMA.” The reaction thus far has been positive, ranging from: “Good old social conditioning, by forcing users too associate the irrational emotion of ‘annoyance’ with a the abstract concepts of the movement, your m00t is nothing but a capitalist candy-ass using tactics devised by Edward Bernays… sorry to say guys… this is worse than FOX” …to: “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!” Oh well—we’ll make Fatties out of them eventually. Thanks Jamie Dubs for the wicked CSS.

Occupy! (featured post at Kindle Project)
http://log.chocolaterobot.com/?p=60
Geraldine’s piece, OCCUPY!, is a timely exploration of how she is viewing, experiencing, framing and taking action within the Occupy Wall Street movement currently taking place worldwide. Read Occupy! at the Kindle Project Blog I occupied downtown New York City for a night on 2008 on the midst of the financial meltdown with Adam Bobbette, my greatest instigator and whom I miss making forays with so much. Maybe, these tools we made can be helpful now for you all. Using simple tactics we might open up new resources for those who don’t have them and against a world in which everyone is telling us they are so scarce. So, occupy!
