🔥 The Hot Corner

💬 Quoted… “We entrust our members with a lot of responsibility at a very early age.”

The FBI arrested a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman yesterday in connection with the leak of around 100 highly-classified US documents, aka the biggest intel breach in a decade, which was first made public last week.

  • Government officials declined to reveal a possible motive, but the AP reported that accounts of other members in the private Discord group where the documents were initially leaked described the 21-year-old IT specialist as motivated by bravado, rather than ideology.

🙅‍♀️📺 Stat of the Day: 49% = the percentage by which total cancellations of streaming services, like Netflix, Disney+, etc., rose in 2022 compared to the previous year, per new data from subscriber-measurement firm Antenna. (Side note: Unplugging the ethernet cable doesn’t actually cut the cord. Definitely not talking from experience.)

🤯 Did You Know?... A scene in Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones and a scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets share the exact same music; they also share the same composer: the legendary John Williams.
