📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/
PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

When does the @mbta start handing out hard hats? A nice chunk of ceiling fell in the tunnel between Park st and Downtown Crossing. Nothing like the ones that have come down in Harvard Sq station but it was still enough to have caused some decent damage to one’s head.

Boston No Kings! won't be your average protest.

Yes, we’ll have speakers-but also live music, theater & art, & more than 30 resistance groups ready to turn your outrage into action.

Peaceful? Yup. Passive? Never. Join us!

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

A little throw back to June of 2022. BU was finishing up on the Duan Family Center for Computing & Data Sciences
Building. It is a pretty cool addition to Boston’s skyline.

Boston’s completed South Station tower. It’s also the major train interchange in the greater Boston area.. The same one the feds were threatening to take over.

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

More architecture in the MIT area. So many new buildings sitting next to old buildings makes for a nice contrast.

Saw this at Bass Harbor Head Light at Acadia National Park. Thought it would be funny to text “let’s meet a thunder hole” with a pic of an anus.

The cruelty is the point: ICE releases woman it had locked up for 10 days by shoving her out the door of its Burlington hole in the pouring rain, with no phone, 30 miles from home; she walked over to the Burlington Mall and begged for help at the Cheesecake Factory. www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...
