The spy clause in the Online Safety Bill (UK) introduces scanning of our private messages.

It gives Ofcom powers to make private services install monitoring technology that meets Home Office 'approved standards.' This software will undermine encryption.

Here's why we need to resist the attack on our privacy. #StopTheSpyClause

Does anyone else in their 50s just not recognise the way 50 year olds are portrayed in the media?

They are always portrayed as grey haired dodgers nearing retirement. Who the hell are these people?

People in their 50s play computer games and listen to drum and bass, we are the rave generation. #ageism #50s

This brings me great joy.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, left, swears in Dr. Makenzie Lystrup as director of Goddard Space Flight Center.

I’m a little concerned that The Wife™ is going to be more enthusiastic about the helium-filled balloons than the actual gifts I chose for her birthday. 😬
