If someone did that to me in Sainsbury’s I would call the police
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

I was just in a Teams meeting with a colleague who'd just got a new standing desk and kept accidentally hitting the controls to change its height, and when she did she'd slowly vanish from the screen like she was in a lift and it really made my day 🤣🤣🤣

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

Today I'm pretty sure I was offered a seat on the train by a nice older gentleman because he thought I was pregnant. I was just having an extreme hot flush and very bloated but ... I took the seat. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Struggling to process that we’ve landed in a situation where it’s apparently encouraged to challenge women using the toilet on the basis of appearance alone.
