Greetings from The River of Boiling Water\u00a0where the weather can’t make up its fucking mind and a local brewery is having their annual release party of a beer named after the King of Fairies.<\/p>\n

\nI really don’t want to sound like a broken record with all the stuff going on about encryption as of late, but it’s a really big deal. Remember in 2014 when all those celebrity nudes got leaked from iCloud accounts? Turns out that was done by hackers using a tool that was designed for government agencies.<\/a>\u00a0Also, the\u00a0LGBTQ community<\/a>\u00a0shows why encryption is important, even if you think it’s not. I’m really trying to drive this point home, because you might be someone who believes that intelligence is inherent, and you might be overestimating yourself.<\/a>\u00a0Speaking of smart people, these three dudes can’t play their local pub quiz anymore because they kept winning<\/a>.\u00a0(YOU’RE WELCOME BALLS DOWN.) There was also a guy who thought God would save him, but the lions said “Nope.”<\/a>\u00a0T-Mobile won’t count porn towards your data if you subscribe to Binge On<\/a>.

\nMy local trivia game of choice has gone away, making me very sad. I’m not saying it had anything to do with the way my team pulled out its (final) win<\/a>, but it IS interesting. \u00a0Most of my weekend was spent working on getting my stupid moped to run (SPOILER: IT’S STILL NOT RUNNING WELL ENOUGH TO RIDE IT.) And another local brewery <\/a>had their Bourbon Barrel Aged releases.<\/p>\n

I’ve Been Reading:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An amazing essay by Kevin Powell<\/a>.
\nAn interview with Alan Moore on the art of Magic.<\/a>
\nAn article on the effects on libraries and librarians in a post-Snowden world<\/a>.
\nAbsolutely gut wrenchingly beautiful issues 6 and 7 of [amazon text=Bitch Planet&asin=1632153661]. (I MAY NEED A TISSUE JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.)
\nIn the Earhole:<\/strong>
\nNothing says “work on mopeds” like punk rock, apparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The latest installment of\u00a0[amazon text=The Night Manager&asin=0345385764] has prompted me to think I need to wait for the next two episodes to come out before I watch it again because I WANT TO WATCH MORE OF IT. Also, it contained a John le Carre cameo!
\nI ALSO HAZ VIDEOS FOR YOU TO WATCH!
\nHere’s a pilot for an unaired show called “A Drink With Shane MacGowan”. Pretty much does what it says on the tin, features Chris Penn, Traci Lords, and Johnny Depp.
