Paul KnightlyThe award for creepiest new cars goes to Subaru. All of their new models appear to have a 'driver assist' system called EyeSight built-in, which includes driver monitoring and facial recognition built into the dash, and that you can't disable.
The salesman was gushing over how great it is and when he asked us if we were interested in looking at one more seriously we were upfront and said finding a car that wasn't constantly looking at us and storing biometric data was a non-negotiable.
Justin MacleodJust so disabled people in the UK know, if Reform UK get in, they would repeal the Equality Act, describing it as divisive and a political fashion statement. If you aren't interested in politics, it's worth bearing in mind that politics is interested in you - the immigrant carers that help you, your benefits, your access to work, your right to live free from discrimination, companies' obligations for accessibility, Uber's obligation to take guide dogs.

Hunh. Wife and I often joke about fearing the loss of the other (no matter the reason) because we've been together for 20 years and would have no idea how to navigate the dating scene in this digital age.
I've been forsaken by a prime friend/social group and now feel I'm experiencing that horrible fate.

Wouldn't you like to adopt this kitten that I fostered. His name is Fingerling and he would rather be in your lap than to eat. He has a giant purr, and he nearly died as a kitten. He has beautiful classic tabby markings on his sides and just wants to be with you.
