PSA:
Scammers are targeting people's MyGov accounts.
I just received email that said I'm locked-out of my MyGov account.
If you receive email like this, do not click on a link! If the email came from a scammer, they'll try to trick you into giving your password.
Instead, to the MyGov website, try to login, and if necessary do a password reset. Then go the the "My Account" section and make sure you have 2 Factor Authentication configured.

Presumably, a scammer got my email address and tried to login with it, and after failing a few times the system locked my account. All sorted-out now.

Spoiler-free review of "Dune: Part 2" and "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga"

These films were good but not great.
The previous films were great — in my opinion film-of-the-year — so I was expecting greatness.
They had an excellent cast.
They had an excellent Director.
They got crew who worked on the previous film back together.
They had gorgeous cinematography.
They had beautiful visual effects and action.
They had thoroughly developed world-building.

And yet...

Putting together pieces of a great film doesn't necessarily make a great film.
Their scripts didn't gel.
Character-arcs were notably light-weight or absent.
Moral messages didn't land.
They lacked a convincing reason for emotional engagement with main characters or supporting characters.

They needed a reason for the audience to give a shit, to feel the risk, tension, sacrifices paid for pivotal decisions, and feel the triumph. Without that, where's the payoff?

*sigh*

Fascinating article about the sustained work in recent years to rehabilitate the Merri Creek, and the positive results for local people, flora, and wildlife.

"Tell me, who did this to you? Who hurt you so badly that you'd commit such a vile sin? Did your parents not love you enough?"
After removing about a dozen Phillips-head screws during an appliance repair project, I encountered the handiwork of an Industrial Designer who hated the world so much he specified the use of a couple of these abominations to ruin your day. Folks, just say no to Security Torx screws.
