Sending a perky "we're going to deliver your thing between 12 and 2pm" email at 1107 ought to be illegal. You knew hours before that time that it was going to be on your truck today.

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

I'm starting to think my sister in law could make a decent living teaching people how to pack their cars properly. Four adults, each with a week's luggage, and the remains of a northern funeral lunch ("you're driving back to London? We'll put some food together,") in a small Honda...
As someone who has crammed an entire PA into the back of a Kia Ceed, I’m not sure this justifies an SUV either, tbh

Even without covid, it's a baby. One of my daughters nearly died because someone came around our house with a cold and it got onto her heart. You have to be really careful with babies this is basic stuff.
A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions"
As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

A blast from my past - the Medieval Soldier database takes nearly 300,000 military service records from 1369-1453 and makes them available as a searchable database.

We built a database of 290,000 English medieval soldiers – here’s what it reveals
We created the database in order to challenge assumptions about the lack of professionalism of everyday soldiers.

Announcement time: as you may know, for a few years my wife and I have been creating audio tours of destinations in Andalucía using a great app called VoiceMap.
It’s been going really well, so we’ve decided to branch out with a website for visitors to Andalucía. It’s called Andalucía Bound.

This is all true but
1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law
2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up
The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.
