I've just been told that John Young of Cryptome.org passed away last week.

#Cryptome was foundational, and a predecessor to organizations like @ddosecrets and #Wikileaks.

RIP, John.

Cray Supercomputer trading cards: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sf2XOBJ5nQh4Hw5DSaVXEWlkLnbPG4uj/view?usp=sharing

Bubble gum not included.

These cards are 2.5" x 3.5" and were a huge pain to scan.

Lurie is cutting transit service and replacing it with Waymo. letting rich people clog up the street with robotaxis that stall all the time while regular people in buses get stuck behind is terrible policy and undoes the whole point of car-free Market. absolutely catastrophic

Just woke up to find out the president has revoked the security clearances of everyone at a cybersecurity company because Chris Krebs went to work there. Krebs was his director for the agency in charge of Cybersecurity & Election Security during his first term and refuted his claim the 2020 election was "stolen".

Revoking the clearance of every employee basically kills the company's ability to do government contracts, which is a major source of revenue for cybersecurity companies. The White House press release also restates the false claim that the 2020 election was "rigged and stolen".

The US is basically a fascist dictatorship at this point. One where the president goes after entire companies because a single person spoke out against his verifiably false claims. You'd have to be completely insane to travel here right now.

@mattblaze I did this in 2020! Now living abroad so I can’t do it, but very glad I did it then. I actually wrote a company post at Mastercard encouraging people to do so and we got several dozen to volunteer.

@mattblaze I am an election poll worker and it’s great! But we need more volunteers to keep running elections effectively. That having been said, working an election shows you how challenging election fraud would be in the current era.

Folks, I have a child who is looking for play testers for a _hard_ sci fi RPG system - real physics, optimistic and thoroughly decolonial politics. ("well, it's not optimistic if half the world gets nuked", they said.)

It is not another capitalist warmongers in space hard SciFi system.

If anyone's interested, please contact me by DM and I will put you in touch.

so four fucking Dem quislings in the House VOTED FOR THE 'SAVE' ACT, which will require you to present a birth certificate with your full, current name to vote. Transed your gender and changed your name? Won't work. Got married and changed your last name? No vote.

https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/house-passes-save-act-voter-suppression-law/

Theoretically it doesn't have much of a chance in the Senate but that also requires a fillibuster and I do not trust the Dems to even bother with that. I'm filling out the form for a birth certificate amendment right now.

(Is one of these supposedly-Democrat motherfuckers your rep? Reps. Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Ed Case (Hawaii). Give 'em HELL.)

Good news if you're a super rich tax cheat!

In the rare cases when the IRS has enough resources to audit you and detect your fraud, there will still be no one to enforce the law. Trump's DoJ is shutting down the entire tax division.

"If you make more than, say, a million dollars a year, paying taxes is probably going to be voluntary going forward.

I love Balatro. I don’t think I’ve loved a game this much in a decade. I’ve also never been so bad at a game I love this much (OK, Spelunky, but let’s agree that doesn’t count).

I really want to get better at this game, but even if I don’t it doesn’t take away the unbridled joy of the (at least…) hour a day I spend playing.

Please play Balatro and help me get better at it. It’s on every platform and OS.

@mattblaze Volunteer election poll worker here: working the polls is an amazing experience!

Seeing the lengths people will go to in order to cast their vote is simultaneously humbling and inspiring.

I highly recommend anyone who is able to volunteer. You learn a lot about the behind-the-scenes of your elections while serving your neighbor.

I use the National Academies report as the main text for my election integrity and technology course. It's a really good, highly accessible overview. Definitely recommended.

Finally, if you're at DefCon in August, stop by the Voting Village.
