From the article:

A Spanish TV journalist was allegedly groped live on air by a member of the public

"Allegedly groped" it looks pretty obvious in the video, but the guy seems to deny having touched her, so I suppose they're waiting for a court to decide, before saying anything for certain.

I was unaware, but I must have them blocked. The counter says 28 but I only see 12.

That way it's a waste of food and plastic.

A video, originally posted on TikTok, of a tourist in Australia handling a blue-ringed octopus went viral in January 2019.

Is that where this picture is from? Or did a second person think it was a good idea?

It was never amusing. Earlier it was "only" kids dying of the measles because their dumbass parents were antivaxxers. With COVID-19, it started affecting adults so that's why they get more attention. The public seems to be better able to tolerate children dying of preventable shit than adults.

That reads like something out of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I was thinking an episode of Silicon Valley but yeah, Hitchhiker's Guide fits too...

I'm from 1980, so technically Gen X, but I've always associated more with millennials. My first phone (after I moved out of my parents' house where we had landline) was a Nokia 3210 and I got my first email account in 1996.

I've mostly been using Lemmy since the exodus, but checked back once in a while because Relay was still working. It seems Relay finally stopped working properly, so I'm done with Reddit now. 100 percent Lemmy/Tildes for me.

Edit: to add Tildes. I like it over there too.

Brilliant! We'll call the scroll wheel "the hamster wheel"!

I have signed up to Beeper's waiting list. I hope I won't have to wait too long...
