Bsides NYC makes really good use of the venue in NYC - it's just inherently a slightly confusing building. Good turnout this year, glad to see engaged vendors, too.

General reminder that people who engage in political assassinations often have pretty muddled world views.

extremely interesting indicator of where we are in postmodern syncretism that the guys making Kirk out to be a hero of the Christian faith will simply not comment on a Hindu proposing that he is now in the afterlife of Norse Paganism.

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.
The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.
We can do this.

Related: People I know IRL who know what I do for a living often ask what they need to know about online safety for their about-to-be-teenagers, and there's a lot of answers, but the thing I always emphasize most is: under no circumstances should you ever threaten to take access away from them.
And a lot of you post the photos but put an emoji sticker over the kid's face or whatever: that is really, really, really not sufficient to prevent people from doing things with them you do not want to know about. Do not post photos of your kids online, period.
I am one of those people who is *really, really good* at identifying exactly where and when a photo was taken from basic context clues (a skill I developed for human rights research and journalism purposes).
Trust me on this, don’t post photos of your kids on the public internet.

The part where ConnorEatsPants lures “in my 20s” Musk into saying what he was doing on 9/11 (“just doin’ my thang”) and then clapping back with “I was a toddler learning to walk, which is what you would’ve been doing, lying idiot” all while playing pretty passable Fortnite is legendary.
ConnorEatsPants is just carpet bombing "Adrian Dittmann" with zoomer/young millenial culture, and he has nothing to say about any of it. I am 42 years old and would do a way better job of passing as a zoomer (I would also do a bad job, just nowhere near this bad)

Speaking of shut the fuck up Friday, I’ve been seeing some people say that the FBI has contacted them for questioning after seeing social media posts, and my extremely urgent advice is that you should under NO CIRCUMSTANCES talk to the Feds without a lawyer.

This is a weird rubberduck-coworker, but it's relatively unobtrusive and simply makes constant peeping noises when I'm thinking out loud at it.
I'm sure the questions I'm asking are just as incoherent.

Yes, stances are ethical.
But if we want change, ethical stances must have power. That is political.
One can be right and criticize others who aren’t, sure. And that is important. But then what? How do we flourish? We need to help the right thing win, and good people build. Electoral or not
