Hot damn is it a delight to be in the presence of Cindy Cohn's razor sharp mind! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1aK7jfLo
Cindy Cohn - Fighting for Digital Human Rights in “Privacy’s Defender” | The Daily Show

@mekkaokereke In the Wisconsin Democratic primary race that's shaping up here, the two candidates leading in early polls are a Black man and an Asian woman

It's remarkable how many nice white progressive homeowners in steadfastly liberal Madison WI have expressed to me (I think in foolish hope I accept such confessions) how good their policies are, how they like what they are saying...and how they have concerns about their electability because out there in the red rural there is a lot of racism

Periodic reminder to white Democrats:

You can't fight racism by adding racism upstream from the original racism. That's just more racism.

And that's not the GOP being racist. That's you being racist.

And you make more people racist. Because some other fool will try to be upstream racist from you.

1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly

2. If you are silly, you must stay silly

2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

Yesterday, I got an incredible opportunity to watch Cindy Cohn bring @eff's story to one of its biggest audiences yet, as she did an extraordinary job on the Daily Show, pulling off the unlikely task of making the topic of digital privacy and civil liberties seem fun, engaging and witty. I took the chance to share some reflections — and a couple of behind-the-scenes photos. https://www.anildash.com/2026/03/31/defending-privacy-daily/

Dear trans folks, I love you. I know it’s not as safe as it should be. I’ll keep fighting to make things better.  #transdayofvisibility

Excellent piece by Reo Eveleth for Coyote that calls very specific bullshit on gender testing https://www.coyotemedia.org/the-olympics-has-a-new-sex-testing-policy-the-evidence-doesnt-add-up/?ref=coyote-weekly-newsletter
The Olympics Has a New Sex Testing Policy. The Evidence Doesn’t Add Up

I’ve spent over 10 years obsessed with so-called “gender verification” tests. Proponents claim they have history and science on their side. They don’t.
