After five years, The Digital Identity Event Horizon is published in full today: three problem statements, ten key findings, and dozens of recommendations across policy, protocol, legal, and social contexts.
It's the largest research study in New Design Congress' eight-year history: eight case studies, hundreds of citations, dozens of participants from government, intelligence, civil society, technology, and the field itself.
It is also, without exaggeration, the most alarming body of work we have ever produced.
The argument is straightforward and difficult to reckon with: Digital identity makes societies brittle. In 2026, we find ourselves in an era of digital identity fetishism: flawed age verification schemes, biometric and facial-recognition authenticators, and fragile state-backed identity programmes are rolling out at an unprecedented rate. And every one of them, whether current or emerging, remains vulnerable to social engineering. The success rate for a non-technical attack on a user is now three out of four. These attacks cost US companies an estimated $1.6 billion in the five years to 2017 alone; by 2024, fraud runs to hundreds of billions worldwide.

the orange rapist + GOP: meeting under the dark of night to realize their dream of making ameriKKKa into a surveillance state

Another week, another story of the callousness of the British state; the already failing e-Visa system seems to be corrupting & dismissing people's right to stay in the UK, has this week halted a mother's return to be with her child, while stranding her in Germany with another.
As so often the Home Office is quick to make mistakes but slow to rectify them with (seemingly) no regard to the human costs.
The state's runs rough shod over normal people (again).

The U.S. government's increased reliance on a Pentagon blacklist to target China's biggest companies threatens to cast a pall over U.S. President Donald Trump's summit this week with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/09/22/world/politics/pentagon-blacklist-trump-xi-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #ai #china #xijinping #us #donaldtrump #republicans #trade #tariffs
"RFK Jr.'s "Re-Parenting" Brain Worm Strikes Again" https://www.blueamp.co/p/rfk-jr-really-thinks-he-can-re-parent I unloaded on RFK Jr's dipshittery and racism...I'm quite sure you'll like it. Check it out!
A TASTE: "There are bad ideas, worse ones seemingly produced by that monster truck filled with congealed-month-old-cheese-whiz #Trump calls an IQ, and then there’s RFK Jr. Here he goes again, he’s talking, so he’s saying something racist or stupid or ignorant or conspiratorial—usually all four!
I mean, JFC, has anyone not reached a point where they’d like to duct tape the guy’s mouth shut to just not hear the noise anymore? And, no, I’m not talking about the voice caused by inherited spasmodic dysphonia. I mean the idiocy exiting Jr.’s pie-hole"

NEW: Amid Mounting War Casualties, Pete Hegseth “Defunded and Impeded” Efforts to Protect Civilians, Lawmakers Say
Ten members of Congress have warned the secretary of defense that the Trump administration’s gutting of a program focused on shielding noncombatants puts service members in peril, erodes the military’s moral standing and may violate federal law.

"if we had a President Reagan, Ford, Bush, hell even a Nixon say someone tried to assassinate them, it wouldn’t cross my mind anything else occurred. With #Trump my first thought was “did he fake it b/c his polling's bottomed out like Kash Patel after a bad break-up with Jim Beam?”
