How can Santa keep his lists when the GDPR is around?

For my non-European readers, here is an excerpt of what the GDPR means: (emphasis mine) The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all

Just went back to Pokémon Scarlett last night where the school director is like “Arven, sorry about your mother” and he’s like “oh yeah, it sucked to find out who I thought was my mother was actually a robot and my real mother had been dead for years, oh well” 😐

Give that guy some school counseling services at least!!!

Just seen someone bring their laptop to work in Starbucks whilst still in their slippers and fluffy socks. New level of #WFH unlocked.

I used to be a morning person but now I don’t like mornings. I still don’t like evenings and in the afternoons I’m often sleepy. Turns out I like between 11am and 12:30pm only.

Tip for Pokemon Go players who arn’t at #PokemonGoFest2023 this weekend.

The noxious swamp event is a great time to do your Meltan mystery box if you are looking for some extra Meltan candy to help with those Xernius raids!

Who’s giving #threads a go? Not sure how I feel about it, but I do seem to be able to replicate my ex-twitter feed more closely.

I don’t know who needed to hear this today, but I needed to:

“You don’t need to set such high expectations of yourself on your day off.”

The little known skill of a #privacy lawyer. 👀

Food puns 😏

Here is your privacy 3 course meal to take you into the weekend. 🍽

〰 Starter 〰

1. Alphabet soup. A common starting place for any budding privacy professional. Comforting on a cold day, just like how we like using so many acronyms with each other e.g. GDPR, DPIA, DPO, DSA, PECR...

〰 Main (2 options) 〰

2. Phish (or phishing). Unfortunately a disappointing main compared to its more well known homophone 'fish'. This won't give you an oily wholesome meal, instead, it will lead to a creepy and regretful aftertaste.

3. Spam. It does exactly what is says on the tin. It has a suspiciously long sell-by date and it often ends up in the junk.

〰 Dessert 〰

4. Cookies. These sound like tasty treats but like all good things, too many of them can be bad for you. It's even trickier when all your friends have their hand in the jar too.

What privacy food have I missed? 🧐
