So fun hearing @roblox.com developers talk on Capitol Hill at an event (w/ice cream!) about how they built crazy successful businesses on the platform. One started at age 7 (!) Am feeling very much like a slacker.
Got this in the mail today. It's addressed to my dad, who died 18 years ago and never lived at my current address. I don't know what the "Young Scholars National Honor Society" is, but I imagine it's a scam. This is really messed up.
If you're a journalist interested in covering tech policy, we want to hear from you!
At CTA’s Innovation House for a Trade Week event and obsessed with their new swag. 😂
No surprise but CTA’s Gary Shapiro kicks off the annual Digital Patriots Dinner with a speech about tariffs and how they’ll hurt everyone.
Is it just me, or do morning newsletters keep getting longer and longer? I can't seem to get thru any of them in Gmail anymore without the message getting clipped. It's driving me insane. Brevity in the morning is a good thing.
We're only a week away from State of the Net and the conference agenda is here: sotn25.sched.com Let's hope the weather stays clear! 🤞☃️ #SOTN #SOTN2025
Excited to see all the cyber policy nerds at this event on Thursday. Stop by and say hi!
🚨 The 2nd annual Cyber Policy Awards via @istorg.bsky.social are coming up in Feb. and there's a new category for Excellence in Journalism (!) There's still time to nominate your favorite cyber scribe. More info here: securityandtechnology.org/2nd-annual-c...
⬇️ If you care about cyber policy, definitely sign up for this one. I think in-person registration is still open but they'll also have a live stream. And if you go, please stop me and say hi!
😮 Helluva way to end your time at Reuters. Kudos to you and @raphae.li for nailing this one.
Ooh, congrats! Such a great platform for your work. Love it.
So fun to hang out with all my fav tech nerds at #techprom tonight. Thanks @cendemtech.bsky.social!
Did you pre-syrup your plate? That's next-level planning.
For recent migrants from other corners of the internet who might be wondering what makes Bluesky different (and imho better), I'm resurfacing this terrific conversation from earlier this year between @bsky.app CEO @jay.bsky.team, @mmasnick.bsky.social, and @yoyoel.com. 🫶
I’d love to see who was on the agenda that year!
Who's coming to #SOTN2024 this year? Looks like the schedule is mostly finalized and it's gonna be a great day for tech and cyber policy nerds. In-person and online (free) registration info is available here: 7x22.short.gy/sotn2024tick...
You may be asking, how can all these great people be speaking at Common Good Cyber? It's because resourcing the people who protect the Common Good on the Internet is a big problem, one people like Megan Stifel want to solve. Register for the workshop here commongoodcyber.org/events/
Only a few weeks out from State of the Net and excited for the announced panels on the FCC, kids privacy, AI and more. Registration info is here: 7x22.short.gy/sotn2024tick... #sotn24
This is not the news I wanted to wake up to this a.m. and I can't believe the WaPo did something so stupid as to drop a newsletter so many in the cyber community cared about. 😡
I am in denial. WaPo leadership has made a lot of stupid moves over the past few years, but dropping policy newsletters like the Cyber 202, which our community depends on, is really next level. Thanks for your service, Tim, you deserved better. 😔 🤬
We've been honored to work with Justin and TPP since he started it a few years ago. It's truly a wonderful resource for the tech policy community. You should follow them!
I’d like to say this gets better but nah. My list had Blackpink and Katy Perry dominating thanks to my preteen. 🫠
We help out with State of the Net and this year, they're introducing a new salon & lightning talk feature for the Feb. 12 event. Folks interested in giving a shorter talk or hosting a salon should check it out here. Submission deadline is Dec. 8: www.stateofthenet.org/sotn-24/ligh...
I've announced a $250,000 gift to support @CyLab’s research on #privacy and #security labels for #IoT devices. Learn more below: www.cylab.cmu.edu/news/2023/11...
Beyond excited Rachel Wolbers will be joining our team at Glen Echo Group. She's a former client (from her Engine days) and I'm so happy she's back from doing smarty-pants things in NZ. 🥳 www.glenechogroup.com/press-releas...

Who's heading to #techprom tonight? Looking forward to catching up with folks! 🥂 🥳 cdt.org/event/2023-t...
Excited to talk to the Hewlett Foundation’s #cyberinitiative grantees today about how to tell their stories.
I can't understand why my skillz aren't more in demand. 🤔
