I did not have SocialSecurity creating a digital version of the social security card on my 2025 bingo card.

Great - and overdue - step, but it’d be much better if I could download it to my phone’s wallet and/or have a standalone SSA app for this.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology Braces for Mass Firings Approximately 500 NIST staffers, including at least three lab directors, are expected to lose their jobs at the safety-standards agency as part of the ongoing DOGE purge, sources tell WIRED.

@wired.com reports that NIST layoffs will likely hit "lauded technical experts in leadership positions, including three lab directors who were promoted within the last year." Scared AI researchers have been scaling back research on AI misinformation & bias.

“Big Balls at CISA” is apparently the headline of the night. 🫤

Drake is the all-time biggest loser of a rap feud and that includes people who have gotten shot and died as a result of rap feuds

Today is the day! Be sure to join us for the #BetterID Forum this morning, starting at 9:00 am. @jgrantindc.bsky.social will kick off the event with the release of the Coalition’s Policy Blueprint for the New Administration. www.betteridentity.org/event/identi...

Better Identity Coalition The Better Identity Coalition urges the new U.S. DOGE Service to ensure any investments in addressing benefits fraud can also be used to protect Americans from a wider set of cybercrime and fraud threats – and make it much harder for organized criminals and hostile nation states like China to steal our identities:  When thinking about identity and fraud, recognize that this is not a government benefits issue but rather an infrastructure and national security issue.

Just released! Check out our blueprint urging the new U.S. DOGE Service to ensure any investments in addressing benefits fraud can also be used to protect Americans from a wider set of cybercrime and fraud threats. www.betteridentity.org/posts/digita...
