The Three Mile Island documentary on Netflix was excellent...and fucking scary.

I watched that a few weeks ago too. The estimate that we were maybe 30 minutes from a Chernobyl style explosion/meltdown was sobering. I also like that Navy guy (the Whistleblower) just pointedly saying "get rid of the profit motive" and these kind of accidents would likely be far far less.

Yes to all this.
 
So I finished all six episodes of Web of Make Believe on Netflix. This is a series about criminal activity and the internet, in broad terms. It's basically five different stories, with the fifth story divided into two episodes.

A couple of the episodes were ok, at best, but a couple of them were really interesting.

Episode 1 has to do with the swatting incident that lead to at least one death, and arose out of a gaming dispute over $1.50. An excellent episode.

Episode 2 had to do with the death of Seth Rich, and the bizarre political conspiracy theories that arose out of it. It was ok.

Episode 3 was terrific. It was about a woman who got herself wrapped up in the alt-right, white supremacy movement (she claims through her boyfriend) and her ultimate escape from that movement.

Episode 4 had to do with a sextortion case in the Northeast, and was probably the most boring of the episodes.

I think episodes 5 and 6 were my favorites. They had to do with Daniel Rigmaiden, a young man with some pretty serious skills at engaging in simple fraud (he was filing tax returns and claiming refunds using names from death registries), and more importantly, evading law enforcement efforts to track him. But one day the cops nabbed him, and immediately ran to his apartment and seized all of his computer equipment, which implicated him in the crimes.

But this ticked him off because he knew there was no way the cops could have legally tracked him or identified his apartment, so as he sat in jail, without an attorney, he set about sending the government discovery demands that ultimately lead to him identifying the (illegal?) method by which they nabbed him.
