Settings > your name > Sign-In & Security > Legacy Contact
Assign someone you trust. Apple generates an access key tied to them. The moment they show that key alongside a death certificate, your entire iCloud opens up. Photos, files, emails, notes. Everything.
Skip this and your family spends months fighting Apple's bureaucracy with no guarantee it works.

In Heat, much of Al Pacino’s off the wall performance comes from Vincent Hanna being a high functioning cocaine user. Offscreen he’s secretly “chipping cocaine” - taking small, intermittent hits to stay sharp and on the ball, as Pacino explains in his autobiography Sonny Boy.
“Hanna had problems as a human being, problems in his life. He was volatile and edgy and apt to go crazy. He was also chipping cocaine, and I sort of based my entire character on that. We shot a scene where I went into a club, and you actually saw my character taking a hit of coke before he enters. For some reason, Michael kept that scene out of the film.”
And Michael Mann had good reason for cutting it. In the scene (which take place within the sequence below), Hanna snorts coke off the blade of a dagger; a highly charged, symbolic image. The dagger is a primitive, lethal tool that fits Hanna’s self-image as a hunter of men. It suggests that the cocaine use isn’t recreational, but tactical; a technique he uses to sharpen his senses for the hunt.
Mann felt this image would send “too strong a message” and draw attention to the drug use itself, rather than Hanna’s drive and the professional rivalry between him and McCauley. However, the cocaine use is still hinted at in the film…(1/3)

In the scene below, when McCauley (De Niro) and Nate (Voight) are going over files on Hanna, Voight says Hanna was "working Narcotics before that" and had "some problems". But it’s never explained what those problems were.
In Heat 2, the prequel novel the upcoming film is based on, those “problems” are explored in much more detail. It traces the drug use back to military-issued dextroamphetamine during Vietnam, and presents it as a deep, functional dependence - one that's highly destructive to him personally but still gives him that competitive edge over the targets he’s pursuing.
As Pacino has said, “It was almost a technique that he used as a detective, and it worked for him.” (2/3)

As Al says, it “did explain a lot of my character’s behavior, and without that explanation, I can see how it made aspects of my performance seem extravagant…If the audience had seen a moment or two when Hanna took a hit, I think they would have been better prepared to see what I did.”
This is made most obvious in the scene with Hank Azaria, when he delivers the infamous line: “Because she’s got a great ass, and you’ve got your head all the way up in it!”
It was Hank’s first day on set, and he hadn’t been told how Pacino and Mann worked together. They’d start by doing a few warm up takes, then gradually ramp up the intensity, as Mann explained in an interview with Variety.
“It’s never the first two. He’s experimenting around, and then after five, six or seven, maybe it’s a small change. After that, he would deliver a take that was fantastic.”
After they had that take locked in, Al would ask Mann if he could do “a wild one” - a more manic, improvised take. Mann always said yes. Some of these takes would be brilliant, others not so much. But some would be so off the wall and hysterically funny Mann would have to walk off set just to compose himself - Hank had no idea what was coming.
“I neglected to tell him that we had a habit of doing this,” says Mann. “Al just flipped this guy up and down and cut loose, and that look of shock and amazement on Azaria’s face is because we’re going completely off the script into something totally wild.”
Hank explained what it was like being on the receiving end of this moment on the Howard Stern Show.
"Al finally, probably out of boredom, but just wanted to switch it up (and) just scream. He had been doing the line you know, (in a more restrained tone) 'Because she's got a great ass,' you've been doing it like that and then all of a sudden, it exploded out of him. If you look in the movie, my reaction, I'm not acting, I got genuinely terrified... you hear me go, 'Jesus.'"

1/ Russia's economic crisis is deepening, with mass layoffs at public sector organisations and heavily indebted state corporations. It's a further sign of the severe strain on the Russian government's finances caused by the Ukraine war, and is a major political risk for Putin. ⬇️
2/ The 'Political Report' Telegram channel highlights the growing scale of the crisis in Russia's state-run bodies. It also notes the political risks that this is creating for the Russian government, which faces growing public hostility towards its policies:
3/ "Russia is plunging into a massive wave of layoffs and reductions, which is hitting public sector employees and state corporations particularly hard.
For over six decades, India's passenger trains ran on the same basic idea. A powerful locomotive up front, pulling a long string of passive coaches behind it. As of March 2018, 49,033 conventional coaches were still in service. Then, in January 2018, the ICF flagged off its last one.🧵👇
Since 1955, the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai and its sister factories have built over 75,000 coaches of all types. For most of that history, the dominant design was the conventional ICF coach. What replaced them, and why, is a story that goes beyond a simple paint upgrade.
The original ICF coach was designed in the 1950s with technology from a Swiss company. It was made of mild steel, which made it heavy and prone to rusting quicker. These coaches had a maximum permissible speed of 110 kmph, and like all conventional trains they were locomotive-hauled.
So big update on FICO

The two big changes to think through are potential for share loss to Vantagescore and the adoption of the performance fee model
On the performance fee model
Pricing was $5 / score
Pricing increasing to $10 / score or $5 / score plus perf fee of $33 per closed score
For 10T, announced the perf model is $1 / score & $65 per closed score
Jefferies found that closed as % of apps is ~50% (see 2nd screenshot)

On a soybean farm in the Brazilian state of Tocantins, police found 42 people living in slave-like conditions.
28 of them were housed inside a single 70 x 70 building. There were no toilets. There were no showers.
The farm was called Fazenda Colorado. It was controlled by a company called Brookfield.
A Brazilian labour court ruled against the Brookfield-controlled firm. The ruling was upheld in December 2021.
The man who was Vice-Chair of Brookfield at the time is named Mark Carney.
A year later, he was promoted to Chair. (𝘏𝑒𝘢𝑑 𝑜𝘧 𝘉𝑜𝘢𝑟𝘥).
He is now the Prime Minister of Canada. 🇨🇦
Stay with me.
🇨🇴 In Colombia, another Brookfield owned company — began building a wind farm in the year 2020.
The turbines were raised on Wayuu ancestral land. The Associated Press, reporting earlier this year, wrote that the wind farm "looms over the cemetery near Cabo de la Vela."
A cemetery. The final resting place for entire generations. Today turbines turn in it's sky.
Wayuu Nation eventually blockaded the site. The sign they held read: "Indigenous territory closed for grave human rights violations."
🇺🇸 In the United States, Brookfield operated dams on the Kennebec River in Maine. Conservation groups sued them in 2021, alleging the dams were killing Atlantic salmon from an endangered population.
The US federal energy regulator has since required Brookfield to change how those dams operate so that the fish can live.
🇨🇦 And now we come home.
Mississauga First Nation — near Lake Huron's north shore, ~2 hours north of Toronto — is suing Brookfield and the Ontario government for $100,000,000.
Four dams on the Mississagi River, bought by Brookfield in 2002, that the community says destroyed their fishing sites, flooded their territory, and displaced their people. The First Nation was never consulted before the sale.
When the lawsuit was filed, Carney was Vice-Chair of Brookfield Asset Management.
The community's lawyer, Kate Kempton, described how they got here, in her own words:
"Brookfield shut the door in our face."
Four places. Four peoples. One company. One man at the top.

Here is what Brookfield — led by Mark Carney — told the public last year about where slavery risk lives inside its operations;
In its official Modern Slavery Statement, filed under Australian and Canadian law, the company wrote that the risk of modern slavery within the majority of its third-party vendors is low.
Then it named which of its suppliers it considered higher risk.
Three categories.
🖇️ Office stationery.
🧹 Cleaning.
🍽️ Catering.
That is what the company filed, to two national governments, in writing.
Meanwhile. On a Brazilian farm the company itself controlled, 42 people were living in slave-like conditions. 28 of them inside one house the size of two parking spaces... No toilets... No showers.
That wasn't a supplier. That wasn't a vendor.
That was Brookfield's own operation.
The Chair of that company, from 2022 until January of 2025, is the current Prime Minister of Canada.

Indigenous peoples, First Nations, and court-documented workers have testified from four different countries about what this company did under this man's leadership.
🇧🇷 Brazil. 🇨🇴 Colombia. 🇺🇸 United States. 🇨🇦 Canada.
Every single claim is sourced; Global Witness. CBC Indigenous. The Associated Press. Brookfield's own filings. Anyone can verify every word themselves.
This isn't left or right.
Conservatives, Liberals, and New Democrats all represent ridings where First Nations live downstream of a dam this company owns.
You didn't know any of this yesterday.
You do today.
And that is how this ends.
Not with a Prime Minister resigning on his own, but with enough Canadians refusing to look away that the pressure becomes structural.
You are now a witness.
