Well now that we have a nice acronym that tidies it up for me! I feel like we're all the slow boiling frogs at this point. It's like the chaos train has left the station and slowly rolling off the tracks.

Being down in Costa Rica also helps disconnect from our world to something more timeless. The people here are grounded, happy, and family oriented

I fortunately am retired and living my best life. Rather than a frog slowly boiling I feel like I’m having a magnificent meal on a ship that I know will gradually sink but we are not sure of when

Funny how I was just thinking the other day how I wish I was retirement age because I feel like we are in a version of a Tale of Two Cities - it was the best of times, it was the worst of times….

Nonconsensual intimate images eh? (I’m glad they gave it a nice, cold acronym).

The line between virtual and real is getting blurrier, and it’s not just the privacy breach that’s concerning, it’s the complete lack of accountability. As much as some may dismiss it as “not real,” the psychological and social impacts are disturbingly real. And I’m with you here - there’s money to be made, and we’re already seeing the floodgates open.

Man, Sagan was ahead of his time. People these days may think owning a phone and using a couple of apps makes them tech-savvy, but tech-savvy doesn’t mean knowledgeable.

Heck, people have a hard time distinguishing “convenience” from true understanding, and that’s a serious problem for a society that increasingly relies on tech to make decisions for us.

Speaking about cybercriminals, even despite all the recent hacks and compromises, companies are still not taking this stuff seriously. mind boggling, really, David.

Happy Monday to you.
