Royal Mail have written a GDPR policy for their letter to Santa scheme that is a) pitched at children explaining how their data is used and b) fully committed to the existence of Father Christmas and it’s just… really cute

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through.
Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Amazon has now backed out of this project after sustained community opposition.
But this fight isn't over, and another tech giant could try to step into Amazon's place.

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won.
But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.

So many people in the Western world still look at this through a Christian lens. That either it’s true or it’s not, and if not, it is useless.
Well, no, because in many interpretations of Judaism, faith and belief are some of the LEAST important aspects of being Jewish. There are atheist rabbis!

Diversity isn't easy! It's a challenge to make a functioning society when not everyone looks, eats, worships, and thinks the same way. But it's also a super power!
Homogeneity is a death sentence for culture.

San Francisco is suing ultraprocessed food companies.
The city attorney is filing the first government lawsuit in the US against manufacturers of ultraprocessed food.
He argues that cities are burdened with the cost of treating diseases that ultraprocessed food brings on.
