I can only assume #Trump plans to invade Greenland if Denmark don’t do a “deal”, then

A former Marine confronts corruption in a small town when local law enforcement unjustly seizes the bag of cash he needs to post his cousin's bail.
After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red.
As the war between the Capitol and the districts reaches its peak, Katniss Everdeen embarks on a perilous mission to liberate Panem and confront President Snow. Joined by a team of trusted allies, she navigates deadly traps, shifting loyalties, and the heavy cost of rebellion, determined to bring freedom to her people and end the Hunger Games once and for all.
Considering it’s the finale, it’s kind of flat. There’s a grim and grinding inevitability that makes it feel more like a chore. Maybe that’s the source material, though.

“[After the pandemic] suddenly people were used to working from home and in many cases I don’t think there was that same desire to have their child in school while they were at home,” he said.
I assume this is asserted without any evidence. Clearly this person never tried to work from home with children around.
Ignoring 404s from specific user agents with WordPress Redirection plugin
I use the WordPress Redirection plugin (https://wordpress.com/plugins/redirection) to manage redirects on our production site.
One of the more annoying things I deal with is random crappy bots that just crawl the site occasionally. Because they crawl so rarely (and inexpertly) they often look for ancient pages, or use ridiculous URL parameters (if anyone knows why they do this can you let me know in the comments?)
Rather than treat these as valid 404s, I think it’s best to ignore them completely. However, matching a user agent string in Redirection is not straight forward. To this end I wrote a Regex to match three of the most annoying culprits: MojeekBot, SeekportBot & Barkrowler.
Maybe it’ll help you too.

It’s nice to know that, even though I’m not based in an office anymore, I can still “fix people’s computers” by (metaphorically) standing behind them and watching them.
A mysterious video has been linked to a number of deaths, and when an inquisitive journalist finds the tape and views it herself, she sets in motion a chain of events that puts her own life in danger.
Wanted to watch this since I was, frankly, terrified by the remake in the early 00s (I was young).
However, turns out that most of the scares only really work the first time round and the psychic flashbacks feel painfully contrived.
Oh, and it’s a very short “guh”, not a “goo”. If you’re calling it “Ringoo”, you’re a tit.

Hi #fediverse, I need some help.
I made myself a “Mastodon” account a while back (@dtw). Since then I’ve ActivityPub enabled my website (@rubyquartglassess@rubyquartzglasses.me.uk) (yeah, I need to shorten that).
Now, I want to start using #pixelfed. I can create “Pixelfed” account from scratch, or by “authenticating” with one of my existing accounts, right? However, I think, anyone can follow my @dtw or @rubyquartglassess@rubyquartzglasses.me.uk feed from pixelfed anyway… so, I don’t need an account on a pixelfed server?
And then I wonder, if any fedi app can read any ActivityPub feed, why are there different apps?
