HACK THE PLANET!
Hackers was released 30 years ago.
I was 18 years old, had just started Computer Engineering, went by the handle Way-K on IRC, and was in and out of trouble with the uni IT folks for what I called my "independent security research".
Peak 90s movie for me. What a soundtrack!

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

The Fyre Festival brand is up for sale, its promoter announces, a week after organizers postponed Fyre Festival 2 with no new date set.

Billy McFarland said he was selling the brand because it has become “bigger than any one person and bigger than what I’m able to lead on my own.”

Just incredible
While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

I hate April Fools. Mainly because the majority of the posts from companies aren’t witty or funny.
I don’t care if I’m a party-pooper. Lying to your customer base and not making it obvious that it’s a joke, is bad.
If you aren’t a top-tier hilarious post, you’re just hurting your brand.

Even when we are on social war footing, Canadians believe in the importance of being polite.
Considerate shoppers make sure to spare the next shopper from having to determine if a product is from the USA.

Exactly! The tariffs are a symptom of the problem. US hostility towards Canada. Unfortunately the US no longer wants to be friends and its threatening us.
The border isn’t safe to cross.

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious
This is exactly why Canadians are fed up with US media.
A segment on Canadians cancelling Vermont vacations. Mentions tariffs but not (1) who started the trade war or (2) that the US is constantly threatening to ANNEX our country!
This isn’t MAGA. It’s not FOX. It’s a random NBC affiliate.
