Season 4 of The Button starts on 24th July (19:00 UTC). Chat opens a few hours earlier. This has been a massive change and upgrade to previous versions, including a host of new features and architectural changes. It took a little longer than planned as I hit a bit of general burnout but I’ve finished most of the changes and it’s all ready to go! You can sign up now at thebutton.social if you want to get notifications :)

EFF helped expose Texas' use of automated license plate readers to track down a woman suspected of self-managing an abortion. Our friends at Mayday Health helped make sure pregnant people were aware of the surveillance risk. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/07/we-want-texans-know-their-rights-qa-mayday-health-impact-surveillance-abortion

I love all the coverage that Binface is getting; I'm less confident that there are enough politically-interested or engaged people *in Clacton* for the upswell of excitement outside, to make a difference and get Farage the kicking he deserves.

This morning's Low Quality Ad is for this Cryptid Hunter Permit Pin. Alright, I know this is going to be a controversial one. I'm not saying you SHOULD hunt cryptids. I'm just saying that if you DO hunt cryptids, please at least make sure you possess the correct permit to do so.https://collabs.shop/k1jsag

Today I was once again reminded that not all disabilities are visible.A elderly neighbour I would regularly exchange pleasantries with started ignoring me on the street when I would say: Hi. I was surprised, and thought I may have done something to offend them. I would wave and say hello, sometimes they would react, other times it was as if I wasn't there.They came up to me today and asked me how I was, and shared how stressful it was to be going deaf, after being able to hear for their entire life. They had gone progressively more deaf in one ear and they weren't ignoring me at all.

You don't have to be the best to succeed. You just need to know your strengths. As Dilbert creator Scott Adams once said, "I knew I wasn't the best at drawing comics or the best at being racist. But I knew I was better than most people at drawing comics and being racist, so I combined the two."
