ffffuuuuuu @microsoft.com, you upgrade all of us without explanation, you get busted, you're forced to apologise & allow us to change back our old plans & you're supposed to refund the difference. But when I do that, you just say we'll change your plan at next year's renewal. Absolute bollocks

See kids, we don't have to just sit back and take it silently. Microsoft's bullshit attempt to force everyone into using their CoPilot AI bollocks hasn't worked. Enjoy the refund if you so choose. Stand and be heard!

Ten more sunscreens removed from sale over SPF concerns
Ten further sunscreens have either been pulled from shelves or "paused" from supply to retailers over concerns about their sun protection claims, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announces.

Welp, this has been the second Rapture I've lived through, and both have been cancelled. It's extremely disappointing and I'm starting to think maybe that they're not real

Thinking back to first time I ever saw him in a film, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. At a drive in theatre with my parents. The final scene left a mark on me, it was the first film to make me realise films were more than just Saturday arvo Lewis & Martin or Elvis.
