If somebody’s trying to tell you some other app is a more secure alternative to Signal, they are ignorant, malicious, or trying to sell you something and you should not take them seriously. Every other app is going to have the same human problems and worse security. Ask every reputable cryptographer

The most secure cryptographic protocol in the world will not stop the fed in your group chat from being a fed, or some guy from not putting a passcode on his phone and leaving it at the bar. This is not Signal’s fault and in fact has nothing to do with Signal at all

There is complete industry consensus on this. Every reputable cryptographer on the planet agrees: Signal’s cryptographic protocols are the most secure in class. Period. Just because your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate told you otherwise doesn’t make it true

The center-white punditocracy spent ~2 decades sarcastically scare-quoting through takes like "Oh, sure, Oberlin students. Eeeverything's about gender and race. Eeeverything's about how white men perform their masculinity & their whiteness." Next thing you know: Pete Hegseth & UFC White House Night.

Charges are being filed against multiple people “for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers,” and for efforts to allegedly “violently oppose immigration law enforcement,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Minnesota. More details to come... www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

There are multiple arrests of observers happening in the Twin Cities today. If you go out, please have your security settings on and seriously consider having a buddy with you

Here are some helpful reminders of how to lock down your phones and who to call if you need legal support. Remember, we’re together and we’re brave!

You're scrolling Reels and see a beautiful woman revealing the true ingredients in processed food. Into a beaker she pours: corn. The beaker fills, then overflows. She pours on. The corn covers the table, spills onto the floor. She can't control the corn now. An avalanche of corn floods the studio

when you've been relying on the social contract to keep you safe from society as you gleefully violate the social contract to attack society but then suddenly society informs you that you're somehow in breach of contract

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

working from home and fighting desperately not to turn on the steam deck.

maybe that huge buff lady with the foot-long cock has bottom dysphoria. did you ever think of that. maybe she doesn't want to full nelson you and bulge your tummy. maybe she'd prefer your lips on her neck and your hands on her sensitive flanks. maybe she wants to be touched like a woman for once

thank you Trump for making Shrek white again

the trials of the membership and board of the national automobile dealers association

people keep saying cyberpunk hasnt come true but like the last 20 years have been punks vs corps in the real while constant, shifting, nonspecific cyberwarfare between groups with state-levels-of-resources goes on in the background on the net and civs are blissfully unaware.

Every state wants fascists to exist. Because it wants cheap attack dots it thinks are controllable. It's why Turkey funds daesh, why Lenin and Stalin pardoned White pogromists, why the US funnels money to three percenters and patriot front through police budgets. Fascism is the nation-state's

My issue is that I don’t really want to work on the problems I am qualified to solve

If "masculinity" is in crisis and requires the destruction of an outgroup to maintain, it's just masculinist extremism and operating somewhere along the fascist cultural mode. Sometimes it gets dressed up with Christian Nationalist trappings, sometimes with progressive-socialist outsider trappings.

This and the "no smoothgroins" center/left politics are the same exact politics, just expressed through different social clades along the religious-secular spectrum but otherwise perfectly compatible in their overarching vision for the proper organization of society

I'm sick and tired of being the only mother fucker that cooks in my home. I live alone, but still.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

you should have to pay payroll tax on ai token spend

Ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures, FYI. Employees were told this morning. And then many reached out to us. Companies trying to embargo layoffs and closures might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my 16 years.

For 22 years, anarchists and environmentalists have observed June 11 as a day of action to mobilize around our imprisoned comrades. This year, as we celebrate the release of Marius Mason from prison, we commit ourselves once more to lifelong solidarity with prisoners. crimethinc.com/June11history

The Punisher sticker we've needed all along

everyone is transitioning, everyone is becoming something else. It comes free with being a living being. The only difference is into what. And everyone should get to decide FOR THEMSELVES which way they're changing.

people like to talk about how boys & men are also harmed by patriarchy. i would argue that much of that harm is split between (a) violence done to them, chiefly but not exclusively BY men, in their childhood capacity as "not-men" and (b) violence done in the process of turning them INTO men.

❗️FBI is reaching out to people who were previously arrested by NJSP during protests outside Delaney Hall. Some have received phone calls or door knocks. National Lawyers Guild is spreading an advisory for people to contact their hotline if feds come knocking:

tfw people rant at me about Project 2025 and they didn’t listen to me about neoreactionaries 10+ years ago

christ, i'm so glad to have texas at my back

Oppositional defiance disorder doesn't exist and no anarchist has it, but also I should be able to defeat a headache by furiously refusing to acknowledge it rather than relenting and taking an ibprofen.

it's been a long time since i flew through o'hare and i didn't realize how much i missed the announcement that the cops *will* steal your luggage if you go to the bathroom.

for a notoriously homophobic local culture, texan drivers sure do love to ride ass

happy pride!!! you can also support me by just following the three mags i edit -- @beestung.bsky.social, @alocasiamag.bsky.social, & @anmlymag.bsky.social (ANMLY is tolerant of the heterosexual lifestyle, babes -- though we skew v queer). as always, RTs are appreciated for any or all of this!
