Just a PSA - if you normally watch the "no panic button" shorts on YT / TikTok... Today's one is *very* very dark. It really should have some trigger warnings for abusive relationships and suicide.
With my mum in hospital for the second time in 6 months, did some retail therapy.
Ghost of Tsushima is a good PC port.

In the most glorious "fuck you" I have seen in a while, you know the book that Cumberland City Council banned because they're homophobic bigots - Holly Duhig's "A focus on Same Sex Parents"? Well, the publisher, BookLife Publishing, have made a PDF version of the book available for free.
Sure be a shame if it was shared far and wide now, wouldn't it?
Every time you ban a book filled with hope and kindness, and care and love, we will resist.

Don't let a minority of bigots and transphobes persecute those who need medical help. Please sign if you live in the UK.

Protonmail is cop friendly. Any reasonable privacy aware email provider would hash the secondary email, not store it as cleartext. I implemented secondary email hashing for Riseup to prevent exactly this thing, over a decade ago.

PSA for anyone using signal groups to organize during protests
tl;dr: please check that both options in settings > privacy > phone number are set to "nobody"
if "who can find me by my number" is "everyone" (the default), signal will reveal the association of your account and number to group members who already know your number, which, considering the possibility of schools collaborating with police and providing student info, may or may not be a plausible way to de-anonymize you!

"Before I introduced a screen time limit, there was too much watching of YouTube. We need rules!"
Idk, mate. Have you considered that screen time issues are related to the lack of spaces for kids and teens to do things? Because most kids I work with would love to have something to do that isn't "go to the mall and wander aimlessly every weekend," which is all they've got other than their phones or whatever.
These spaces were disappearing when *I* was a kid, and I'm almost 40. Hell, even as an adult, there aren't many places for me to go because they all fucking cost money just to find a "community." Not to mention how uncomfortable they all are.
You can change behaviours by creating a world where kids and teens can freely exist and stop ostracising them from society, among many other things.

If you're looking for an explanation of what's happening at Google with the current layoffs, just watch this video. Steve Jobs' reflections about what happened at Apple provide the best explanation. It's something you'll encounter in all corporate companies.

This bill would make it so businesses are no longer required to give underage workers meal breaks if they work for at least 5 hours.
The GOP representative carrying this bill owns several Smoothie King franchises in Louisiana.

Liz Truss' new book is out, in which she claims to know how to "save" the West. However, THIS book is a FAR more accurate reflection of her abilities as a politician.
For the avoidance of doubt, yes, it's a BLANK notebook You can get one here >>> https://bit.ly/3UjTt5H
