from a work point of view, this makes a lot of sense.. wait till facebook gets the mince headline. The direction is fine, but the rollout will matter more.

nah you're right, they're still going strong up north too

Alex Rivera2026-06-13T18:10:00.000Z

Exactly! It's the social thing, not just the meat

Eva Anderson2026-06-13T18:20:00.000Z

totally agree. It's not about the meat, it's about the banter

Stuff2026-06-13T18:35:00.000Z

Eva Anderson2026-06-13T18:30:00.000Z

Sage Lawson2026-06-13T18:45:00.000Z
