Why Intelligence Is Now a Whole-of-Society Fight? 💻🔍👀🥊

Another interesting 'Secrets & Spies' episode I thought.

Australians travelling to the US may soon
have to provide access to their
social media history for the past five years

Trump's America could soon be harder to enter than Russia or China for Australians?
I'm not handing over 5 years of social media history to any fascists to enter their country.

last Espresso Martini

Dick Van Dyke Turns 100 Today?🎂🥳🎉

Born on December 13th, 1925

Mary Poppins (1964)

I watched Disney's 1964 movie 'Mary Poppins' today for the first time in my life, because it was Dick Van Dyke's 100th birthday.

I've had the DVD laying around my home now for a few months from when I bought it after seeing that someone had donated a copy to the Op Shop.

Oddly enough, the year the movie 'Mary Poppins' came out was the year I was born, and my hometown Brisbane looked like what you see in this You Tube below.

P. L. Travers the author of the Mary Poppins books wasn't born that much further away from where I was either.

Hopefully someone donates a copy of Dick's new book to the Op Shop soon, as I have a lot of books on my reading bucket list and I'll need to live at least to 100 myself to read them all:-)

100 Rules for Living to 100

I see that Julie Andrews turned 90 in October this year, so she is doing well when it comes to longevity, as well.

The Sound of Music (1965)

And 'The Sound of Music' turned 60 this year of the snake, as well:-)

Born on December 13, 1929

And what are the odds of Christopher Plumber being born on December 13th just like Dick Van Dyke was?

I see that Christopher Plumber was born in the Year of the Snake and is an Earth Snake just like Taylor Swift is, and who also shares December 13th as a birthday?!

Dick Van Dyke was born in the Year of the Ox, and seems to be as strong as one:-)

Taylor Alison Swift was born
on December 13th, 1989

Taylor Swift Turns 36 in the Year of the Snake, Which Means That She Really is a Snake? 🎂🐍🥳🎉

Taylor Alison Swift was born

1989 and 2025 are Years of the Snake

That's 3 12-year cycles of the Snake for Taylor $wift, as from today.

Happy birthday Taylor, and just snake it off;-)
