And then suddenly it's lunch time and that's all I've managed to do in a morning!!! Just because something has a source on Wikipedia DOES NOT MEAN that source is legitimate. If I corrected every dead citation I came across on wikipedia, it would be my full time job.

What you need to hear is this: Signal has, for a LONG time now, conformed to the security-critical norms of the cryptography field. It has followed best practices. It has publicly opened itself for scrutiny, and has held up well to it.

In the world of professional cryptographers, the question is a settled matter: as of early 2026, Signal is the best encrypted messaging app for all but the most utterly pathological of edge cases.

Hey. While I'm giving y'all the whole "Black people experience this every day, it's not new for us," let me give you one more important Black nugget of info:

"You don't have to watch the video."

Seriously. You don't.

Your life won't be improved by seeing it. Especially if you already oppose ICE.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Security folklore of the morning is that no one should share URLs on Signal because it exposes IP addresses and people should use QR codes instead. Please don’t do this! QR codes are much less secure. If you’re concerned about link security, turn off link previews which you can do in Signal settings

Not sure on Stranger Things, but when I worked at WRAS ~1994 we used mostly CDs for music but still a ton of 8 track carts for internal recordings.

I love that I don’t even know which man you’re speaking of and it’s still great advice.

you can def network vertically, but prioritize networking horizontally

surround yourself with kind, hardworking, and talented friends, and it’s only a matter of time before your careers go places

also: if you can’t take an opportunity, pass it on to a friend who’d do just as well if not better

Listing any one of her accomplishments feels like it it does it justice, and listing all of them would take hours. What a legend, what a loss.

Binge Slow Horses and Ted Lasso while you have it. Morning Show is pretty good so far if you’re into meta TV shows.

β€˜Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Accused of Union Busting After Firings Union says between 30 and 40 people were terminated. Rockstar Games’ parent company cites β€˜gross misconduct’

I am begging you, take organizer training run by actual union members before trying to organize your workplace.

If you don't have tight opsec or open your private spaces to someone who isn't a guaranteed yes vote, without making sure they understand the need for opsec... you've already failed.
