Remember "don't print this email" in signatures that was a bit cringe? It doesn't feel that cringe anymore in retrospect. I'm doing an experiment now with this new email signature :D Anyone doing something similar? Could it catch on?

I used to think it was unrealistic in a zombie film when someone would get bit and would hide it from from the rest of the group. Then the fucking COVID pandemic happened.
Ad tech is surveillance tech. Do you need more evidence than Hootsuite partnering with ICE?

In this interview with the Rust Foundation, 
@goingforbrookegoingforbrooke 🦀 shares how Rust supports real-world, public-sector software — including anti-trafficking tools used by frontline teams. Brooke was one of our fantastic speakers last year!
📣 The RustConf CFP is open — we’re looking for talks grounded in real-world Rust experience, like the kind Brooke discusses in this interview.
Submit a #rustconf talk proposal by Feb 16: https://sessionize.com/rustconf-2026/

gotta say, I am feeling like an absolute genius about this, rn
Our Director of Outreach, Lori Lorusso, recently spoke with @goingforbrookegoingforbrooke 🦀, Founder of Trafficking Free Tomorrow (nonprofit and Rust Foundation Associate Member), about building anti-trafficking tools with Rust — and what it takes to maintain long-lived systems that humans can trust.

I keep saying it, but there's this weird narrative tic I keep seeing about AI where someone will lay out all the reasons it's bad, then conclude with "but there's some good usecases" or "it's just a tool" or some other hedge.
And like, I get it. Hedging against a lack of knowledge is good, actually! If folks who know more than you about a subject say thing $x, and you don't have the expertise to evaluate that claim, it can make sense to hedge and assume that the claim is at least partly true.

One reason we cannot realistically deal with Trump and MAGA without engaging the question of religion is that, as Joyce Vance notes on looking back at Trump's first year in this term, he is very clearly following the road map set out by Project 2025 — a fascist, theocratic road map created by right-wing Christians.
As Vance notes, though Trump lied about his knowledge of and commitment to Project 2025, "he has gone on to impose [this] on the country. He lied about his intentions. That has had profound consequences for many Americans."
And this is why the outspoken pushback of religious people who reject Christofascism as American policy for the entire world is critically important.

"A new era of religious leadership in the U.S Catholic Church has dawned — driven by the immoral and destructive extremes of the Trump administration. ... No longer can Catholics within the administration's apparatus or supporters of it twist reality to accommodate policies clearly at odds with Catholic social teaching and the heart of the Christian Scriptures."

"We have reached, in our national life, that point of no escaping.
There is no hiding from the inhumanity in depriving the neediest abroad of life-saving medicine and food. There is no longer turning away from the brutal treatment of not only immigrants but also U.S. citizens at the hands of a paramilitary force accountable to no one."

Stay vigilant about your online communities.
If each time someone engages their post is received with hostility or negative feedback, they will soon disengage and leave.
This behaviour might be done on purpose to chase some marginalized people away, or might be done subconsciously from internalized biases or systemic discrimination.
Sadly, the result is the same.
If you are part of a privileged group, observe how marginalized people are being replied to in your online communities, and use your privilege to intervene when necessary.
Sometimes, just showing a little support or positive feedback can make a significant difference to keep your communities diverse, inclusive, and happy.

When Elon bought Twitter now over three years ago, and every time X has been rocked by scandal since, many people expected a big exodus to decentralized social media platforms based on open protocols.
