NEW: Companies like Apple and Amazon routinely handle requests for sensitive data from law enforcement. You'd figure the rigorous protocols for authenticating those requests would defeat random professional doxers, right? Well ... @davidgilbert.bsky.social has some bad news.
Doxers Posing as Cops Are Tricking Big Tech Firms Into Sharing People's Private Data

One of my daily email newsletters said "take the pressure off with these microwave only weeknight meals" and one of them is curry salmon.
No. Just NO. I love salmon, but not in the microwave. Then you add CURRY? You're just gonna have to burn your house and start over.

My first week as crisis PR for Eurovision is going swimmingly.
Nemo has decided to send their trophy they won in Malmö 2024 back to EBU headquarters in Geneva as a statement!
This is a monumental prestigious loss for EBU and everything Eurovision Song Contest stands for!

🎂 E. H. Shepard was born on this day in 1879. A titan among British illustrators, he’s best remembered for his Winnie-the-Pooh illustrations. 🧸
The surprising ways his artwork & the text work together to shape the Pooh stories are a story all their own ⤵️

I use "cromulent" and my boss started using it, too.
What's the random highly-specific slang/turn of phrase you use and everyone around you started picking up and using too, mine is 'confabulate.'

In a webinar, on listen-only mode, and the presenter (who is our account guy and has known us since 2017) called me out BY NAME and then called out our org (in a neutral example) while the team nemesis was (also very likely) on the call. Helluva day to be me, I tell you what.

When I was in high school debate, I had to do an extemporaneous speech on detente. I pronounced it "day-TEN-tay" all the way through.
Thank you to the lovely audience member at @hayfestival who shared that her daughter had once corrected her pronunciation of ‘epiphany’ and told her it should of course be ‘epi-fanny’.
Which word have you royally mispronounced because you’d only ever seen it written down?

I used that font debate as an ice breaker in our department's social space this morning. And I have doomed them all to using Comic Sans...because *I* like it and also I am a secret chaos gremlin.
