@jleonard777 @annatheenigma @bluerunspirits Both. We recently began distribution in Florida and there are multiple locations in the JAX/Amelia Island/Yulee/SE GA/St. Augustine area with more to come but always easy to buy online at https://t.co/swVpToy6TV and https://t.co/hHHVxQGr1Y

Had a great time tonight at the Marlin & Barrel distillery learning about all things Blue Run from @bluerunspirits co-founder @TimSparapani - the lineup: Reflection 1, High Rye, Rye, and the 13 & 14 year 🦋🥃

So great to meet you Tim!

@privacypen @JulesPolonetsky @andrewkingman @gabrielazanfir @JEsquenaziMX @omertene @Marty_Abrams @cobun @PodcastPrivacy @bluerunspirits Some people take up knitting, but I thought selling bourbon was a better hobby. Put me down for 2 state laws in 2022

@KyDistillers @bluerunspirits @carrssteakhouse As Blue Run Tim, we could do no less. Let's raise some $ to help people

[Tim Sparapani @TimSparapani]

Pretty excited for my whole team at Blue Run: https://t.co/NrBd83SobH

@astepanovich All of this tweet storm is 100% spot on. Many of us who were not into the manor born had to find other ways to serve the public interest. Also challenging to raise a fam on 2 pub int salaries in DC.

When people say "The reason you can't trust science is that scientists used to say <thing that turned out to be wrong> but now they say <different thing>", they're actually explaining why science works so well.

@johnverdi Thanks @johnverdi https://t.co/C2g9bTkmdT indeed! The best stuff in a bottle from KY.

I've never cheered for Duke . . . until now. Check out the amazing work of these Duke students!

[David Hoffman @hofftechpolicy]

Excited to announce that @DukeCyberPolicy at @DukeSanford has launched the Cyber Policy and Gender Violence Initiative. Please RT, visit the website and share the materials on it to help decrease the risks for victims and survivors. https://t.co/RHVMc4AgAP

@daniellecitron What I love most about my friend @daniellecitron ist that she apologizes for the waste of time that the EO is even though she's just cleaning up the mess and pointing out the abject foolishness. Read. Her. Thread.

Intel is shining a bright light on the nasty roll the databroker industry plays in facilitating domestic violence and stalking #DomesticViolence

[Intel Policy @IntelPolicy]

In a world where individual states are considering creating their own #COVID19 contact tracing apps, which may be integrated with feeds from data brokers, data #privacy is a critical issue. Read more from @intel’s @hofftechpolicy. https://t.co/7Z7Cgmhurv

Great victory for #aclu for First Amdt and research into algorithms https://t.co/oXUTjTY7wG

It's not bad enough that they are a data broker of scraped facial images of 3B images but now we learn that their data was stolen. Insert eye roll. Who could have seen this coming?

[Brian Fung @b_fung]

Hmm, yes, definitely seems like a vendor the public can trust https://t.co/Ax9O3VYVPT

[Tim Sparapani @TimSparapani]

@kashhill Has done it again, by unmasking a meaningful privacy violation. I'm calling on legislators again to act. It's long past time for a federal law banning scraping.

[Kashmir Hill @kashhill]

The major takeaway from my story on a crazy new face recognition app is this quote. https://t.co/qfv5b27mzg

At the risk of being trite, this made me smile. Colgate will get my family's toothpaste spend from now on. #Colgatehttps://www.cnn.com/2020/01/15/business/colgate-recycle-toothpaste-tube-trnd/index.html

[Tim Sparapani @TimSparapani]

Proud to be even a small part of this very important podcast. The erosion of privacy has sometimes deadly results. Time to regulate the data brokers.

[David Hoffman @hofftechpolicy]

Episode 2 now available and featuring ⁦@TimSparapani⁩ ⁦@jtrevorhughes⁩ ⁦@JulesPolonetsky⁩ Christine Varney and ⁦@peterswire⁩ . Makes the case of why we need US federal privacy legislation that is stronger than California law. https://t.co/ChE2TxuECc

Most important privacy story of the week. Bad data = data-driven discrimination. Next privacy bill has to be about far more than simply controlling access to PII; it has to help stamp out accidental or intentional discrim https://t.co/qDG7xUkMxb

[Tim Sparapani @TimSparapani]

@daniellecitron @macfound Couldn't be more proud of and more excited for Danielle Citron. Groundbreaking and critically important work.

Not hyperbole; perhaps the single most impt tech headline of the last few years other than CA AB5. Google comp allegedly performs quantum calculation. https://t.co/ZsP0MAEqIu

I think the C-suite of Equifax should be required to take their entire compensation for the next 10 years in the form of credit monitoring service.
