Instagram appears to be stepping back from end-to-end encrypted messaging — a surprising move after years of Meta, its parent company, promoting strong encryption as the future of private communication.

A notice on Instagram’s help pages now says end-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. The page instructs affected users to download any chat messages or shared media they want to keep before that date.

This actually happened a while ago, but it came to mind again recently. It was at the grocery store and my internal monologue thereafter went something like:

• "Oh I got a compliment! That's going to make my whole day!"
• "Wait, what shirt am I wearing again?"
• "Right, my Gorillaz t-shirt." (It's a... I think phase 6 shirt, so not a terribly old shirt or anything.)
• "Yeah, I like this shirt too!"
• "That guy was kindof old. It's cool that there are old people who listen to Gorill-"
• "Oh. Oh no."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is sending an amphibious assault ship, the USS Tripoli, and its Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Axios on Friday. Why it matters: The deployment will add thousands of Marines, several warships, and F-35 fighter jets to support those already in the region, the U.S. official said.

My wife and I are starting a garden for the first time this year. We originally were just planning to do transplants for everything, but a family member gifted us some of her favorite seeds and we've had some luck germinating them! Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.

After its combat debut in Ukraine, Leonardo S.p.A. plans to conduct official tests of the Michelangelo Dome system within NATO in 2027.

These tests will include intercepting ballistic missile attacks and integrating the system into the pan-European air defense command and control structure.

The company expects the Michelangelo program to generate about €21 billion by 2035. Representatives from 20 countries have already expressed interest in purchasing the Italian ‘dome.’
