getting the sense that, if andy weir had been a fiftysomething in 1942, he would have criticized _casablanca_ for being "political", or "preachy", or "hitting you over the head with ~~the message~~"

we have defer at home:

#define GLUE_(a, b) a##b
#define GLUE(a, b) GLUE_(a, b)

template<typename Closure>
struct DeferStruct {
Closure c;
DeferStruct(Closure &&c) : c(std::move(c)) {}
~DeferStruct() { c(); }
};

#define defer [[gnu::nodebug]] DeferStruct GLUE(_defer_stmt_, __COUNTER__)= [&]

ICE just announced the phone number for their tip line: https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mcv2aef2oo2q

As someone in the replies said:

Do not call them with fake tips. That would be very naughty indeed and only waste their valuable time.

That’s right. And definitely don’t call from a line other than your personal phone. They may want to follow up!

Definitely make sure that all of your complaints are 100% legit and make the best and shortest and most efficient possible use of ICE’s time.
