MI5 joins Instagram: 'Insert your own joke about whether we will be following you'

MI5 has come in from the cold and joined Instagram

The UK's intelligence agency has decided to throw off its invisibility cape and go IG official in the name of "being more open." 

Announcing the decision in the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, MI5 boss Ken McCallum beat every commentator to the lowest hanging fruit, writing, "You can insert your own joke about whether we will be following you." 

McCallum added that the move was "a routine step for most organisations, but more interesting when you're in the business of keeping secrets."

So far, the account has posted one image of the ceiling of the MI5 building in London, promising more "exclusive views of life inside MI5." The account will be hosting Q&As with intelligence officers as well as highlighting job opportunities. MI5 will also reveal what it's like to be an agent runner and surveillance officer. But they won't be giving away all their secrets in the feed.  Read more...

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
