we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

Proud to work where I work.

I admit I'm finding it difficult to get things done while a good 30% of my brain is occupied with worry about my hometown taking its latest turn at the top of the "possible site of the start of the next civil war" wheel. My love to the Twin Cities, always.

Happy Publication day to the Church Committee Report! Published for the first time in an abridged format and by a major press for it's depressingly relevant 50th anniversary.

"As for the algorithm, if the concern had been that TikTok could be a conduit for Chinese government propaganda—a concern the Supreme Court declined to even consider —people can now be concerned that TikTok could be a conduit for U.S. government propaganda." www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Truly, truly, amazing news

"Don't mock or you'll be deported" is the mark of a weak, decadent nation, a petty and insecure failure unworthy of respect.

A stunner of a story from @sfstandard.com sfstandard.com/2025/08/11/a...

If you're not even a bit skeptical about this, I respectfully suggest you're not paying attention. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

The tech industry only ever has two positions on any proposed tech regulation: (1) Don’t regulate us. It’s too early. Our tech is still developing. (2) Don’t regulate us. It’s too late. Our tech is everywhere.

There are many indignities, big and small. But it was the honor of my grandfather's life to serve in the 442nd RCT (and also for my relatives in the 100th and the MIS) and there is nothing, NOTHING, to gain from erasing their contributions to this country. jacl.salsalabs.org/jacl-calls-f...

So excited to see Sacred and Profane included in this @sfchronicle.com roundup of Valentine's Day events! Come check us out: www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Sometimes I get asked if I regret leaving journalism. And, honestly, while I miss many things about reporting and writing, the thing I miss *most* from a personal perk sense is getting reviewer access to Civ. So excited to play todaaaaay.

Good blog post from @htsuka.bsky.social Texas Is Enforcing Its State Data Privacy Law. So Should Other States. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Very proud to be even a small part of this effort. Misrepresenting privacy protections to your customers is always a serious issue, but especially when you're talking about healthcare. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Tomorrow on the BrainFungi Twitch stream: SCOTUS hears oral argument in a critical case about Pornhub that could affect the whole internet.

Alright, Vikings fans, who did it? Which one of us dared to hope?

I'm bad at promoting things ahead of time, but thanks to everyone who found this morning's AMA and thanks to NOVA for inviting me! www.reddit.com/r/askscience...

While you're waiting for Monday's Netchoice decision, take a look at the federal court order that just put Indiana's online age verification mandate on hold. assets.freespeechcoalition.com/documents/le...

Hey everyone! I'm hiring. Come work with me to make the world a better place through state tech policy at @eff.org : www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.p...

I love how many ads on BART are for BART. You got me already!

Our Spotify AI DJ just referred to Disturbed as a band from the "turn of the century" and excuse me while I turn to dust now.

The rare exception to Betteridge's law. Spoiler: YES, THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Care about the right to repair? Now's the time to tell the FTC to: ✅ Make repair easy ✅ Make repair parts available and reasonably priced ✅ Label products with ease of repairability www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Great blog post from EFF's @mguariglia.bsky.social about Ring's important decision to stop facilitating law enforcement's warrantless access to video and audio surreptitiously recorded by its devices, as well as the further steps the company and others like it should take.

I lost my voice today. We have learned that miming the past perfect tense is really hard. Now mostly communicating over Discord while sitting next to each other.

Congratulations to the staff of the Texas Tribune, which voted to unionize today! www.texastribuneguild.org/mission

The latest #UNCybercrimeTreaty draft “requires a complete overhaul towards a more focused, narrowly defined approach to tackle cybercrime,” EFF’s Katitza Rodriguez told The Record by Recorded Future News. “Human rights must be the treaty's cornerstone, not an afterthought.”

Ah, I say, I have recorded this Wolves/Warriors game to watch and enjoy peacefully after rehearsal. Holy shit.

If you're a 23andMe user, a recent leak of alleged user data is an example of the potential harms of genetic testing services. It's time to revisit your privacy settings.

My worst pedantic habit is that if I receive an email where someone uses "less" improperly, I will involuntarily say "fewer" out loud when I read it.

I really needed this news: vegas.eater.com/2023/10/10/2...

Listening to the my MN Twins play on MLB Audio. Getting a lot of suicide prevention, "toxic stress," and mental health services ads and I frankly don't appreciate what you're implying, MLB.

Very exciting to see Sens. Markey and Wyden calling for this: www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Welp. Back to bed, then.

Being totally earnest, headlines like this make me absolutely love local news. Without it, who writes this story?

Sorry...
