  So those who have the cash can protect themselves and their families, those without just have to take the risk. And of course it’s those who travelling on public transport more often and work in big offices/hospitality/retail that won’t be able to afford, and those who work till they are older.

  The UK need to maintain adequacy with the EU in relation to GDPR. If it were to lose that it would be a nightmare for all businesses who operate internationally. Hard to update legislation much when you need to please the EU on the side.

  The amount this is being shoved down my throat in theatre trailers and elsewhere tells me they are worried that many people simply don’t give a shit about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Barbie" makes history as film surpasses $1B in box office sales⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It could have done without the car chase Chevy ad, but I thought overall it was far above my expectations. Not surprised it’s doing well, the whole movie theatre were laughing out loud.

  Wilko’s are a thing I associate with moving from Scotland to England. Not a thing up there, but I’m a big fan now. I’m such a sucker for buying a random selection of stuff all in one go.

  This is great. I assume they’ll hope to federate with Threads, but I’m happy to follow them from Mastodon.
