Nine hours after going live, the itch bundle benefiting our Game Worker Hardship Fund has already raised over $13k! Thank you so much to those who have already purchased. And for those who might be waiting for payday, you’ve still got about two weeks left! Thank you so much 🙏

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.

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

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.

I can’t believe I just watched Hartford Athletic win a trophy. It never felt like a real possibility, especially not two years ago when this team finished in the basement of the USL Championship. Build a statue of Brendan Burke on Huyshope Avenue.
