Salaries in digital should be up 78% vs 2005 to match inflation but they're stagnant instead.
In 2005 I had one year's experience and accepted a Digital Project Manager role at GOOD Agency paying £32,000. In today's money that's £56,918.

Tried to do the #Halloween thing but in Scotland the kids tell jokes and I immediately forgot the format of basic jokes so I kept causing them to go wrong.
"knock knock"
... "I don't know... Erm, what?"
Or "trick or treat?"...

Remembering when Sussex police sent a uniformed officer to my workplace to tell me to stop organising an alternative pride BBQ on the beach (which had already happened a week before, organised by someone else)...

Does anyone have advice for toilet training regression for a 5yr old boy? Started 3 weeks ago and is wetting himself at least once a day now, after a year of rare accidents. He starts school in 2 weeks, but doesn't seem particularly worried about it or anything else.

Pivot to video was such a curse. Now everything’s like obviously you’d rather watch a 40 minute video than read a sentence.

Hey is it bad if google AI search results stop people from leaving google dot com 99% of the time? All our news and information creators can survive just fine with one percent of their previous search traffic right? I’m sure it’s fine. www.404media.co/googles-ai-i...

Banning people from work makes no sense.
Some people who attended this event are still going through the asylum system. They all said that they are ready to work to contribute to the UK economy.
What is the government waiting for? #LiftTheBan

Reasons my 5 year old cried yesterday:
1. I opened the door before he knocked so he didn't get chance to hide around the corner and jump out.
2. I held his glass whilst pouring his milk.
3. I pulled the plug out of the bath while he wasn't looking so he missed watching the whirlpool down the drain.

Today MPs will vote on the amended welfare bill.
MPs who choose to walk through the lobby and support this bill are paving the way for at least 150,000 people to be pulled into poverty.
Here are just 3 reasons why they should oppose this bill from @katieschmuecker.bsky.social 🔽

As MPs vote on massive cuts to Universal Credit & PIP today, they should bear in mind:
- This does not have public support
- This is not the change the public voted for
- The public don't believe the only way to meet fiscal challenges is to make disabled people poorer and iller

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
