If you see ads pointing you to votesafe.org to check your voter registration, read this first.

VoteSafe is run by America PAC, Elon Musk's super PAC. It is not a government site. Its own footer says "Paid for by America PAC."

It also doesn't register anyone. The flow ends by telling you to download a PDF, print it, and mail it in yourself.

Its privacy policy (updated Aug 29, 2026) lets America PAC share your info with "business partners" for targeted marketing, or sell it. That includes whether you're registered to vote and "how you submit your vote." Popular Information found your address going to Facebook and Google, a hashed email to The Trade Desk, your usage to X, and a device fingerprint that survives cookie deletion.

VoteSafe also white-labels voter sites for allied groups, including Sentinel Action Fund and Ready to Register. North Carolina's election board warned in July that Ready to Register mailings used an outdated form, went to deceased voters, and had QR codes that could pre-populate other people's data.

To check your registration, use your state's official portal, https://vote.gov, or https://vote.org. None of them sell your data.

(Followup: it was just normal beer foam and not shower gel foam.)

"Is that soap in my shower beer or is that just how the beer normally looks?" is a way, way better question to focus on in the shower than literally every other question on my mind right now.

went outside to see if we could catch the #lunareclipse, instead caught a buncha fog.

(Living here occasionally *does* have some drawbacks)

The only vulnerabilities I'm interested in patching today

"Manufacturing allows for dimensions with less precision" you think they're talking about the Ligne or the Metric foot? No, they're throwing shade at the bros who still eschew the metric system and use inches and yards.

chat is it normal got for a four year diploma from a prestigious overseas school to be an Arial-font laden PDF download

I'm on a slack with a meme channel that is like a quarter percent filled with:

<bluesky link>
"this author has chosen to make their posts visible only to people who have logged in"
<slack channel member posts a screenshot of the bs post anyway>
<post is a 5-year-old meme>

I kinda feel like there's a few things there that aren't working as intended?
