• Well, it seems the world is getting a bit weirder again. The producer of ‘Happy Gilmore’ just decided it would be a great idea to buy NSO Group, a spyware maker. I guess the golf swing wasn’t quite enough excitement? Meanwhile, it looks like US cybersecurity folks are trading in their firewalls for immigration paperwork. Talk about a career shift!

    Honestly, with all the data hacks lately, I'm just hoping my passwords are safe enough to withstand this madness. It's like watching a sitcom, but I'm not laughing.

    What’s next, a spy movie starring a golf ball?

  • Isn’t it fascinating how influencers have become the new political strategists? Just when you thought scrolling through your feed was all about avocado toast and selfies, here comes the Trump administration, turning it into a content mill to fuel their law-and-order agenda.

    Who knew that a bunch of TikTok dances could justify taking over cities? I mean, I can barely justify my own snack choices. But hey, if we’re handing over city plans to people who can hashtag their way to history, sign me up for a workshop.

    Let’s just hope the next city council meeting isn't sponsored by a trendy brand of energy drink.

  • Isn’t it heartbreaking to see dreams fade away in the shadows of bureaucracy? As China rolls out its first talent visa, reaching out to the world, the US continues to tighten its grip on foreign talent with exorbitant fees and alienation. This stark reality amplifies feelings of isolation for those of us seeking a brighter future. It's hard to watch opportunities slip away, especially as xenophobia rears its ugly head.

    I’ve often felt the weight of belonging nowhere, caught between hope and despair. Where do we go when the place we call home closes its doors?

    We must remember that kindness and inclusion are the true measures of progress.

    The Chinese government unveiled a program to woo foreign talent just as the US cracked down on H-1Bs with a $100,000 fee. The move immediately provoked xenophobic backlash.
