Congress is debating a bill that will lead to weaponized takedown requests of lawful speech with no real safeguards. Tell Congress to vote No on TAKE IT DOWN.

The new Amazon-created James Bond will be a Silicon Valley tech CEO who everyone thinks is “the coolest guy ever, and always right about everything” (all the other characters will say this)

I’ve long maintained that I want a natural burial but watermelon head is looking pretty enticing

My colleagues are my heroes, and it’s my absolute honor to help find the resources they need to do the work ❤️

Marshmallows are for team players.

I’m going to reserve reading news unrelated to work for Thursday nights. Why then? Because I have therapy on Friday mornings 🫠

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

Without downloading any new pics where are you at mentally

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large. It uses the same tools and the same logic and, honestly, the perpetrators are often the same damn people.

I swear to god the next mfer to tell me art history degrees are “useless”

EFF isn't backing down on our privacy and free expression priorities under the new Congress and administration. Here's our memo to incoming officials previewing how we'll fight for the rights of the American public.

"oh ho, but just last year you said running people over with with a big steamroller was wrong!” I exclaim delightedly as my enemy fatally runs me over with a big steamroller. it seems I have won this battle of wits

Caught a cold so I can’t go play apocalypse this weekend. Have to stay home and think about real apocalypse instead.

The new few weeks, months, years, will likely not be pretty. Get this guide to surveillance self-defense to your communities. It has printable PDFs as well as tailored reccomendations for certain activities, types of people, etc. ssd.eff.org

Gather round kids and let me tell you a story about a real technology ban...

Fucking finally a reasonable headline

I’m sick to death of fire coverage like this. Sylmar is NOT wealthy. The people who are going to have a harder time getting back on their feet are being erased. Stop framing this as a rich people problem.
