Hunger Games: The common folk resisted the rich arrogant fascist tyrants (similar to the French Revolution)
Star Wars: The Rebel Alliance rose up against the dogmatic "kindness is a weakness" religion that controlled the military industrial complex.
The Matrix: The common folk rejected a futuristic super-overlord AI mastermind that turned them into batteries.
Divergent: Chicago has 5 different stereotypes, and if you don't fit in any (are divergent) you will be an outsider.
V for Vendetta: An autocratic fascist society with a dictator rulership gets overthrown by a masked avenger/anarchist with a passion for using the letter V and references bombing the English parliament.
In nearly every story listed here, it's about the small/weak resisting the megacorporations/arrogant narcissist dictators/religious/cults of personality that through megalomania want to rule the world.
Which side, exactly, do you honestly consider yourself belonging to?
Today I spent my day frolicking in the forest under the rain, identifying mushrooms and eating my weight in Indian food.
Today was a good day.

If your unexpected email or message contains the word "Kindly", I'm going to immediately assume it is a scam or phishing attempt.
So far I've not been wrong lol

I also won't be trying out #threads, but apparently they are planning on integrating with the wider Fediverse soon (as per their Apo Store ad).
I wonder how that would go and how privacy and data collection for other fedi instances would be addressed by Meta.
ALT Screenshot from the Google Playstore Threads app. It says "Threads.net - Soon, you'll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, like Mastodon. They can also find you with your username @username@threads.net"

I've been able to close some long standing projects at work after such a long time, and I feel such a weight off my shoulders, yay.
I hope I get a couple of relaxing working days before being thrown many new projects my way.

Rhysida ransomware group has done something we have never seen before....
They have ransomed "Hollywood Forever", a cemetery and funeral home in Los Angeles, California.
Even the dead are getting ransomed:(

It baffles me that digital editions of videogames are still often more expensive than their physical copies.
God of War Ragnarok costs £70 in the Playstation Store(Digital). The exact same game, no special editions or anything is £55 on Amazon or £60 on my local supermarket lol

I'd literally rather fall head first into an active volcano than have to deal with more real estate bureaucracy and people not doing their job.

I swear my cat knows exactly how which strings to pull to get your attention when she's hungry. She's the best social engineer I know.

The most sophisticated Threat Intelligence team on the planet is the Nintendo Corporation Intellectual Property Legal Team.
If ransomware groups used a Super Smash Bros logo they'd be caught in 48 hours.
