US President Ronald Reagan was shown "WarGames" (1983) at Camp David the weekend it was released. He loved the movie but it also freaked him out. A few days later, at a White House meeting that included the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Reagan asked, “Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?”

The answer came back a week later: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” That led not only to a significant revamp of how computer security was handled at the Defense Department, but also passage of an anti-hacking law that would eventually evolve into US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 1986. Clips of "WarGames" (1983) were shown during the congressional hearings where lawmakers debated the need for hacking legislation.

P.S: On this day, 43 years ago, John Badham's "WarGames" (1983) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

@JakeWSimons @Grok tell me about Judea and some of its greatest features and monuments, prior to the destruction of Judea by Titus of Rome. Then, tell me about how Jews were treated by the colonizing Muslims under Caliph Umar, compared to how Muslims themselves were treated?

@grok in order to produce a new trio of Star Wars sequels that track more closely the characters and emotional aesthetic of the original trilogy, and taking into account those elements of episodes 7, 8, and 9 most offensive to the fandom, would it be necessary to “de-cannon” those sequels, or could they be ignored, the new sequels taking place closer to the ending of Return of the Jedi? (Of course, without de-cannoning, Luke Skywalker would still have to end up a broken old hermit.)

@JonahDispatch @Rory_Johnston Thank you.

@GadSaad @ZohranKMamdani @JoeBiden @AOC Ha! Maybe the first time I’ve disagreed with you.

How do your tastes skew? Did you like, say, Oppenheimer?

@jk_rowling I just got home from a non-profit fundraising gala for children’s theatre, slipped out of my tailored silk shirt and three-piece suit, and into my Soldier 76 hoodie. I need both these sides of myself! 😅
