Joke is on the Crunchyroll Hackers

Crunchyroll is investigating a potential hack which may have led to the exposure of customer email addresses. As readers of my anime writing on NLJ may know, I am a Crunchyroll subscriber (I have been a paying subscriber since 2016 and have had a free account since ~2010-11). I now laugh. Joke's on the hackers. My Crunchyroll account email is a SimpleLogin alias and I pay my annual subscription with a (now-deleted) virtual debit card from Privacy[dot]com.

Joke is on the Crunchyroll Hackers

Crunchyroll customer emails may have been hacked. Despite being a Crunchyroll customer, I am unconcerned because my email is a SimpleLogin alias.

The deeper I get into thinking about this essay, the more I realise my perspective as an outsider drew me to it and shapes it.

As a management consultant, I was often cautioned not to ask 'that' question, or at least not to 'that' executive. Stop telling them they have no strategy when they say they have one.

Jeff Green’s Career-High 43 on 03-18-13

Brian Windhorst for ESPN wrote 27 straight wins: The most dominant stretch of LeBron James' career, revisiting the 27-game winning streak of the 2012-13 Miami Heat. I followed the NBA closely that year and for that reason remembered a specific game discussed in the article between the Heat and the Boston Celtics (which was my favorite team) on March 18, 2023. Mr. Windhorst noted that the Celtics were missing Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo, but Jeff Green picked up the slack for the […]

Mid-March Snow in Brooklyn (2021 and 2026)

At about 4:00 PM on March 12, 2026, a friend of mine who lines nearby in Brooklyn sent me a message on Delta Chat: it's snowing. I turned my head to the right to look out my window. Indeed, it was snowing. The snow would stop and start again. As of 5:12 PM, it is not snowing. This snow in March reminded me of an article I published on NLJ five years ago titled A Brief Mid-March Snow in Brooklyn. Then, like today, snow unexpectedly fell from the sky in March. While I remembered writing the […]

[Quote] Mid-March Snow in Brooklyn (2021 and 2026)
