#nowwatching Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
I've been waiting ages to see this as I thought the Mrs would join me as she's a bit smitten with that Christopher Hemsworth. However, she recently decided that she doesn't like him with that prosthetic nose.
Therefore, I finally get to enjoy another slice of apocalyptic action. Can it match the awesomeness of Fury Road?
NY State is suing Allstate because its sites handled user data in *plain text* - not a great look.
"the company failed to notify the more than 9,100 New Yorkers whose data was compromised in violation of state laws."
And where else was this happening? Read more: theregister.com/2025/03/10/all…

I figured out the scam and wrote it up here: reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1j…?
Basically, they set up their merchant account with a merchant name that is literally, "If you do not recognize the seller, please contact.." hoping you don't notice all the other wrong details. But this does get them a legit email with a digital signature signed by the real paypal.com, which they forward to you.

I was slightly alarmed to receive an email from my director at work with the subject line "Shooting at [name of my employer here]"
Only upon opening it did I realize she was emailing about a crew that wants to film a documentary on campus.

The most underrated skill in tech engineering is the ability, or maybe the *willingness*, to be an idiot. Sometimes the best way to debug a problem is to forget everything you think you know and re-test the most basic things from ground zero. Sometimes the only way to design a good interface is to look at what you've made through eyes that have no idea what they're looking at. You know too much. Your users don't know anything. Be a user. If you can't be a user how can you make a thing users want

Judge says Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil can't be deported as protesters call for his release
As hundreds of demonstrators rallied in New York City on Monday to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a federal judge just steps away blocked the Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate's removal from the United States.Minyvonne Burke (NBC News)
The Trump regime is using ICE to silence dissent — not just against immigrants, but against anyone who dares speak out. Mahmoud’s arrest is a warning shot, and we cannot stay silent.
This isn’t just about Mahmoud. It’s about the authoritarian playbook Trump and his allies are testing right now. Project 2025, Project Esther — these aren’t just policies on paper. They’re a roadmap for criminalizing protest and crushing political opposition.
MAGA’s message is clear: If you speak out, they will come for you. That’s what authoritarian regimes do. Every university, every city, every movement must fight back. Columbia — and every other university — has a duty to protect its students from government repression. That means:
1) Blocking ICE and DHS from campus.
2) Erasing disciplinary records tied to protests.
3) Refusing to cooperate with political crackdowns.

A Tour of the Final Home Designed By Frank Lloyd Wright: The Circular Sun House
Some remember the nineteen-nineties in America as the second coming of the nineteen-fifties. Whatever holes one can poke in that historical framing, it does feel strangely plausible inside Frank Lloyd Wright's Circular Sun House.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)
Senate Democrats must vote against the Republican's continuing budget resolution

Google earned $26.5B last quarter, a mere 27.51% profit margin, and they’re doing layoffs today and have a founder telling people they need to work 60 hour weeks.
Imagine having all the resources and talent you could ever ask for, just a tectonic amount of resources and having no idea what to do with them at all beyond making a line go up for people who don’t even work there.

in reply to 💿 🎬 John 🎬 💿 • • •I didn't like Fury Road the first time I watched it, fell asleep in the cinema. Was the company I kept.
Though, when I watched it again with Jonathan, I liked it a bit more. Fell in love with Furiosa right away though, bad nose job was a bit distracting for the start of the movie =)
