Came across a phishing attempt that anyone designing/running websites should know about. It began with "Your website or a website that your company hosts is infringing on a copyright-protected images owned by myself."
I knew that I'd licensed all the images on said website, so that prevented me from panic-clicking the link that says "Take a look at this report with the URLs to my images you used."
After a quick search, I discovered that it's a scam being used to spread ransomware. The email I received was the same others have received, verbatim. techlicious.com/blog/fake-copy…
So, 1. pay artists for their work and 2. don't fall for the scam.
While we're on the subject, I discovered another scam (not checking email for a long time can sometimes be really helpful, because I received 2 of these that were identical except for the name in the signature, months apart) telling me that I'd misspelled something on my site.
This particular email was very friendly, complete with smiley faces. There was no link, but there was a web address listed for some sort of tool they were pushing. (no, I didn't visit the address)

Even if this guy is a raving lunatic, it's worth finding out *why* he thinks he has access to foreign money to fund his campaign, he has access to foreign hit men, and he has "two foreign secret service officers up [his] @$$". politico.com/news/2021/06/1…
In fact, it might be good to look at the pattern of low-level operatives thinking they've got hit men/secret service types "up their @$$" and/or access to hit men. Remember Robert Hyde? Also a vet running for congress saying he had access to hit men. npr.org/2020/01/15/796…
Hyde also expressed a similar sentiment about Marie Jovanovitch, calling her a traitor and a scumbag, seemingly thinking that her demise was necessary for US security. businessinsider.com/robert-hyde-wh…

Gosh, I wonder if they found anything interesting in Rudy Giuliani’s apartment?
I sure hope he used as much caution and common sense as he did in the Borat movie!
He’d better call Four Seasons Total Landscaping and make reservations ASAP.

Remember when we were told the Trump campaign was broke?
Maybe, just maybe, between what they received in kind from Cambridge Analytica and Russia, they actually had plenty of money and resources at their disposal?

I guess now we know one of the reasons Matt Gaetz and Trump are allies.
Seems almost like a prerequisite for having access to Trump.

Yes, at my first two jobs, unfortunately. I think for most women the question of assault and/or sexual harassment isn't a question of "if" but "when was the first time."
And unfortunately it's also so many times that you've lost count. What you can probably count, though, is the times you've said "no," and suffered negative consequences.
First job was at a movie theater where the manager openly spoke of his desire for all the teen/HS girls he'd hired, and got them to do photo shoots; called me names for not wanting any part of it.

One of the best vaccinated countries in the world, currently - more per 100 people than the US.
Serbia is also one of the best vaccinated countries in the world and they’re on lockdown again. irishtimes.com/news/world/eur…
Call me crazy, but perhaps we should heed the advice of the experts telling us we're going to undo all of our progress if we're not extremely careful? cnbc.com/amp/2021/03/20…
