www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I can't really describe how evil and cruel this is. I can't really describe how this is one of the most awful policies I've ever heard, and how much it will hurt people. I don't even really have the words.

It’s another hoodie wearing sewing day. Bee cushion cover ✔️ onto the next and the next and well you get the vibe. Like most of my days of late I’m sewing from 1st thing until late, making items, learning techniques and trying to build a future and a big shiny dream to be proud of 🌟✨🪩. Starting to feel very unlike me wearing sweats so often think I need to start dressing like me again. Who says you have to wear comfort clothes whilst building a dream. Need to get my look back and get me back!!! #lgbtq #lgbtqcommunity #lgbtqbusiness #queerowned #queerownedbusiness

So the BBC told me "As is standard practice on any entertainment show on the BBC and in line with our editorial guidelines, appropriate steps are taken to reduce the inclusion of any overt branding or slogans..." Which makes me wonder how all these got into the same episode?

I can find any number of AI agents to recommend a film. But the BBC could be getting Mark Kermode to curate a list of the best British horror films, and that would be infinitely preferable. Or Bob Mortimer’s favourite comedies. Or Nigella’s cooking shows, or whatever.

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me that all those "you should need a government ID to access the internet" people are rethinking this position now. [We know they aren't. Ed.]
The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."
