  • It’s not meant to benefit young people. If it was they wouldn’t have now explicitly excluded gambling ads from the act. Kids won’t be able to access the fixtures page of their hockey club on Facebook, but can have Bet365 ads rammed down their throats. This act is not about protecting kids. It’s a push to easily, accurately tie everyone’s online presence to their myID.



  • Found a “sorry you were out” delivery card for the missus in the bushes down the side of the house. Luckily only a couple of days old. Am puzzled how it got there as our mailbox is of a type that would make it very difficult for it to escape somehow. Anyway, looking forward to what that is when she collects it. It had better be some sort of full rizz skibidee pressie for me.



  • I think it will start a lot of conversations that need to be had over there. Some stat I’ve seen doing the rounds is that Americans paid $12(?) billion out of pocket for cancer treatments last year. UnitedHealthcare alone made $33 billion profit. They could have paid for everyone’s cancer treatments in full and still delivered billions in shareholder value. Situation’s fucked. Sadly, I suspect that when the buffoon takes office, the momentum will be lost.
