#linklog: "NYTimes: My Impossible Mission to Find Tom Cruise"
A fun read about finding Tom Cruise, which reminded me of a French book by a guy called Guillaume de la Croix about how Tom Cruise stole his life. Incidentally, I tried finding out more about him just now, and funnily enough, found more or less nothing. #

#linklog: "Kevin Mitnick, 1963-2023"
Sad to hear of his passing. His whole saga began right around the time I started getting interested in computers, the Internet and such and while his was obviously a cautionary tale, it was still endlessly fascinating to read about his exploits (literally and figuratively). #

#linklog: "Boris Johnson, the once and perhaps future Tory king"
"Nothing became him in life like the leaving of it, says a character from βMacbethβ of the traitor Cawdorβs acceptance of his execution. Boris Johnson may have once been commissioned to write a study of Shakespeare but he has never taken that particular line to heart. Perhaps thatβs why he returned the publisherβs advance." β What a way to start this piece. I like it. #
