Did I just tweet this on the bird site? Yes.

@jared My heart belongs to the Cowgirl Creamery's Mt. Tam Triple Cream.

@joncamfield You are a delight. Never change.

@joncamfield See? My whole electronic privacy and security training curriculum could potentially revolve around cheese.

After years of being informed that I am in the pocket of Big Tech (alas, without making a Big Tech salary), I would like to announce that, like the Olympians, I am ready to be sponsored by Parmesan cheese.

KOSA passed overwhelmingly in the Senate yesterday, but today it’s dead in the House. The fight isn’t over, but we have won this round and let’s take a minute to enjoy it.

I don't know who first said "Walk into a room like you are a punishment sent by God," but I think about it a lot before stepping into a certain kind of meeting.

A whole lot of people who were previously unfamiliar with the word "misogynoir" are about to learn it real soon.

We ran a whole campaign at EFF to get Venmo to even make it possible for users to hide their social networks. The fact that JD Vance couldn't be bothered to turn that option on is a lesson in the tyranny of default settings.

This is your regular reminder that scams are now the background noise of our lives. They will take a million shots at you and threat actors only need you to let your guard down once.
