We should not be locking young people out of our communities and keeping them away from digital tools that can open doors for them, expand their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and help them grow into well-rounded adults.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Movie 14: Send Help.

Glad to see Sam Raimi cooking again. Gorey, cathartic, and crazy fun.

A ★★★½ review of Send Help (2026)

What a blast! The sort of campy fun that only Sam Raimi can cook. Extra fun to see this with my sister squirming and screaming at all the gory stuff.

Movie 13: No Other Choice.

Already know this will be amongst my favorites of the year. Entirely brilliant.

A ★★★★★ review of No Other Choice (2025)

A visual delight - can’t remember the last time I had so much fun with the camera stunts on a film. Funny and twice as dark. A killer mix perfectly blended by Park Chan-Wook.

Movie 12: The Wrecking Crew.

Decent-ish straight-to-streaming action romp.

A ★★★ review of The Wrecking Crew (2026)

A decent straight-to-streamer with some bloody crazy graphical death scenes. Nice to see Frankie Adams!
