Ever had that happen to a browser window while you're trying to read or write something?

MOVIES: First Man (and some notes on other things)

Got my flu vaccination done this morning, which is good.

Got some practice time sketching in pen and H2 pencil, and with Clip Studio Paint. Also good.

Saw First Man at the movie theatre last night. That first half-hour of this docudrama focused on Neil Armstrong hurt to watch and listen to. But it's part of why you should see that movie.

BlackmailSpam

Some discussion has been had on the subject of a particular form of it at the Spamfilter forum of my ISP, National Capital FreeNet, in recent days. Two articles came up in the course of the discussion so far. You may be interested.

Also, depending on which OS you use, this may or may not be of help:

I do wonder if the scam is intended to fundraise for further "interventions" in democratic nations' elections in some way. But that is speculation on my part.
