"Whittaker said there is no such thing as a backdoor for E2EE "that only the good guys can access," however." As much as reasonable we should be using encrypted communication on principle. Likewise, decline ALL searches, regardless if you think you have something to hide.

I can’t even imagine being a parent and letting my unvaccinated kid die from fucking measles. Holy shit. How.

Since many are searching his name now after the Superbowl, here's Matt Maxey / Deafinitely Dope on accessibility. I'm also going to point out the use of actual captions.

Disrupt them in any way that you safely can.

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

Had to, "is this the Onion?" Several countries have Golden Visa programs where you can basically buy entry or citizenship. I don't know how those citizens feel about those programs, but this is giving me sleazy timeshare vibes. What's a strong word than grifter? Billionaire?

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

they’re trying to police how other countries treat trans people. they want their rules to be the world’s rules. fuck them straight to hell.

just a reminder that every single democrat in congress (including bernie sanders) voted to confirm rubio, even though we knew bs like this was coming.

If I were writing about such things I'd avoid saying the pres and musk in the same breath. One was elected; the other is a groupie. Don't help legitimize the groupie. And don't refer to doge as kids. Their issue isn't their age, least it shouldn't be. No need to infantilize adult, deliberate acts.

I think they do great work.

Just started bref. on Disney+. If I understood this banger of a line correctly, a neighbor is recounting the best and worst day of his life and says, "I sat down for 30 seconds and stayed seated for 20 years."

Yesterday's LL 🍺 was delicious, but I'm still in relegation. Too early to be worried though.

Recovery period after drinking. Waking up hurt. Unwillingness to sleep everywhere.

There's no group of "smart" adults that have both the answers and the power. As a child, you could ask your family or at school, and some trusted adult could, often, help. Reminders, food, guidance, whatever. That's not a thing now. Help isn't forthcoming, just battles for power.

SO MANY American norms are strange. Cars > quality public transit. Non-public healthcare. Guns. Drug commercials. Tipping. Prisons. Electoral College, among other gov quirks. Everything the stems from chattel enslavement.

Not everybody is going to rock with you the way you rock with them. Adjust accordingly.

I knew a Holocaust survivor who talked about the importance of notetaking under authoritarianism, to track what normal was and how it shifted. Here's that 🧵 with respect to disability, itself a canary in the fascist coal mine: www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/09/w...

My roomie asked for Reese's Cups from my trip to the States and he likes whiskey so I brought this (in addition). Labeling this whiskey is a disservice. Say "liqueur" and market as a digestif. With coffee, on ice cream, or as a base for caramel, maybe, but I couldn't finish an ounce straight.

I'm just a wolf who's intentions are good oh lord please don't let me eat Red Riding Hood

It really is the best future.

This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

"Hey, we're going camping in Serial Killer Woods, do you wanna come?" "Nope." __________ "⛏️☠️" "Put that shit down, do not unbury it!" __________ "It's this cool game, we're going to try to contact..." "Imma head out."

I've thought about this. Given where I am, 1 person. Another 1-2 may suspect something's up, but wouldn't know how to reach me.

Can other folks from the sign language communities please chime in on this topic?

This Voyager cast photo goes so hard. 🔥

Or don't. Teach the truth and your subject the way you're supposed to. Neither the pres nor Linda McMahon is observing your instruction and if they were, they wouldn't understand it anyway. Close the door; teach the people.

A sheriff in Central New York released a man who’d served his sentence. Now the Trump administration, eager to force local officials to collaborate, is coming for the sheriff. New this morning in Bolts and New York Focus: boltsmag.org/new-yor...

Kid Cudi, Man on the Moon: The End of Day had me in a chokehold after a breakup. Still a go-to when I'm pensive.

Greatest, I don't know, but my favorite is probably Capt Jean-Luc Picard on TNG.

Draft, done. Revisions, done. Thought about a walk or a drink, but I think I'll read my book and just be off for a bit.
