Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Newsletter is out (and free, as always). This week has some Super Bowl leftovers, some transit stuff and a conversation with people in the suddenly uncertain business of making government data more accessible.

WIRED has been doing vital work. If you’re looking to support good journalism right now, subscriptions are cheap.

If you spend exactly zero seconds thinking about how this would be unfair to you, we should be friends. It’s funny how the ones who complain the loudest never had a barrier in their way to begin with.
