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.

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.

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. 🫶

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/

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. 😡

Tim Starks @timstarks.bsky.social · Dec 21

Sad but true: This is the last Cybersecurity 202 ever. It's been an honor to helm it for the past year and a half. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Amy Schatz @amyschatz.bsky.social · Dec 21

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. 😔 🤬
