inb4 @signal.org gets banned in the U.S. to “protect the children”

Every available method of age verification systematically excludes or harms marginalized people. The real question isn’t whether these systems discriminate, but how extensively. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Through an analysis of 10 months of nationwide searches on Flock Safety's servers, EFF discovered that more than 50 federal, state, and local agencies ran hundreds of searches through Flock's national network of surveillance data in connection with protest activity. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

@vox.com happy to hear Astead Herndon @astead-mirror.bluesky.bot on the Today Explained pod—he’s a great addition to an already-great team. Keep up the good work!

“He didn’t leave any specific instructions about what to do with his remains, but we were able to infer from his excessive use of the 🔥 emoji that he probably would have wanted cremation”

At least I know how to pronounce Louvre now 🤷‍♂️

I’m afraid we’re about to declare war on Venezuela. Then 47 can use the Alien Enemies Act at will & get a lot more wartime/emergency power. Renaming DoD to DoW, bombing boats off Venezuela, now this meeting, it’s all adding up. Never thought I would live under martial law www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/p...

I’ve never been so interested in watching late night comedy shows as now

2028 isn’t the next battle to focus on, 2026 is. As Kasparov says here, if we lose in 2026, we may have no hope in 2028 as they will have changed the system to eliminate free and fair elections. www.youtube.com/watch?v=61hF...

Resources to those who don't Know much about 𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and want to be informed: I recommend articles/videos written by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A-d... video goes into discussion about these laws, interview was around this article : law.stanford.edu/wp-content/u...

Hey websites: If I’m smart enough to know how to copy and paste from the “email” to the “confirm email” fields, I’m smart enough to know that what I’m copying and pasting is correct. Disabling pasting in the “confirm email” field just pisses me off.

Back in the early 90s businesses were convinced you wouldn‘t need programmers any more because business users could just drag and drop code modules and have a working app. I don’t think AI is going to replace the need for smart tech people like a lot of businesses think/hope.

It's happening. Get up and get out Protesting before you have to explain how you stayed home and did nothing.

@pimoroni.com I have the Badger 2040 and love it but was wondering, if I’m just using a static badge with no animations or anything fancy, do I need to have the battery pack attached to the back and plugged in?

Shocking Video Captures Calm Police Officers Handling Situation Nonviolently

The Trump administration wants to reverse a 2009 EPA finding that greenhouse gases endanger people. The finding is the basis for much of the United States' climate change regulations.

@paymentvillage.bsky.social What is the "Card testing workshop"? I saw it in HT and am curious, but there was no description and I didn't see one on your website either

Hurricane forecasters and scientists rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. The Navy has decided to stop sharing the data.

I think I might start adding “before December 2022” to any search that isn’t time related, to try to filter out all the AI slop I’m seeing in search results now

It was never about citizens vs. non-citizens. It was always about whites vs. non-whites, re-asserting white power and reducing the number of non-whites.

I realize stickers are a fairly passive action of resistance, but, I want to continue to encourage others in their anti-ICE fight. This is one avenue at my disposal. With that in mind, here are brand new stickers (the Icee ones were printed by me but not created by me). Who wants some?

Outlook = work email. Nobody sane is choosing to use Outlook for personal email.

Hey random website: You’ve been asking me for 15 years, and I still don’t want to install your stupid app that’s going to suck up all the data on my phone and ship it to who-knows-where. #apps #privacy #web

The right to a free press is, alongside the right to free speech and free & fair elections, one of the foundational rights of our democracy

If you get news from someplace other than social media—very recommended btw—consider becoming a paid subscriber. Many news organizations are under threat today, or will be soon, because they publish facts and are not just blatantly sycophantic to Dear Leader. Also consider supporting @freedom.press

“Some Democrats make comparisons between ICE and Gestapo at hearing, drawing GOP pushback… Republican Rep. Burlison of pushed back, saying, ‘I’m just still kind of trying to understand the connection between our ICE officers and the Gestapo.’” www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

“Note to self: Bibi said one good way to avoid corruption charges and stay in power indefinitely is by fighting an endless war”

Remember when Rump said that Biden’s weak leadership was the cause of all the chaos and war in the world? www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/u...

If you have an iPhone, make sure you always have the latest security update. If you are concerned that you might be targeted by government spyware, enable Lockdown Mode.

I hope there *are* protests at this weekend’s dick measuring parade, and I hope the protestors hold up blank pieces of paper to make it obvious that 47 is following the dictator’s playbook to a T

@npr.org I haven’t heard too much coverage of this, none on NPR podcasts unless I missed it. Seems like an obvious attempt to weaken the judiciary, the only branch trying to act as a check on executive power. Hoping more attention will nix it in the Senate. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

@nytimes.com haven’t seen too much coverage of this, though I only get NYT via The Headlines & The Daily. Seems like an obvious attempt to weaken the judiciary, the only branch trying to act as a check on executive power. Hoping more attention will nix it in Senate. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

“Add your birthday! Let your contacts know when you’re celebrating!” Uh, yeah, no thanks. Any contact I care about already knows my birthday; you just want to use it for ad targeting and selling my info. I’ll pass.

Police continue to shoot directly at protesters. Multiple protesters are bleeding with wounds

Remember when “granola bars” were bigger than your finger?

Remember when we elected Biden and were like, “Thank god the adults are back in charge”?

Most of the time I hear someone use “exponentially” it’s… not really exponentially

Those who know me well know that many times, even my choice of emoji reactions is driven by sarcasm 🔥

Still waiting for the non-crime use case for crypto apnews.com/article/cryp...

Attacking research universities and killing the next generation of innovation and progress, ceding global leadership to other counties, is truly cutting off our nose to spite our face. And our children will pay the price for this folly decades into the future.
