Same-Sex Kiss Restored in Pixar’s ‘Lightyear’ Following Staff Uproar Over ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Bill
On March 9, LGBTQ employees and allies at Pixar Animation Studios sent a joint statement to Walt Disney Company leadership claiming that Disney executives had actively censored “overtly gay affection” in its feature films. The stunning allegation — made as part of a larger protest over the company’s lack of public response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill — did not include which Pixar films had weathered the censorship, nor which specific creative decisions were cut or altered.

Study reveals Romania is one of the less safe countries in Europe to spend one's holiday
A new study conducted by Forbes Advisor has revealed the safest countries in Europe to go on holiday this year. The study analyzed metrics such as the quality of bathing waters, the quality of healthcare, the rate of thefts and homicides, and air quality, and merged the results into a final safety score, to find out what the safest destinations are.
Romania occupies a rather unfortunate spot on the list, coming in fourth to last, with a Safety Score of 61.1 (out of 100).

Romania has 4th highest homicide rate in the EU
In 2015, Romania has had a assault-related death rate of 1.6 per 100,000 persons, the fourth highest rate in the EU after Latvia (5.14), Lithuania (4.11) and Estonia (3.64).

It's a few days old, I just thought the statistic of 49% was pretty crazy.
Microsoft Corp. retired its Internet Explorer on Wednesday, putting an end to a quarter-century-old app while also sparking a small panic among businesses and government agencies that built internal systems around the unpopular browser.
Japan may be the country most affected by the move, as a survey in March found that 49% of companies in the Asian nation still use IE.

Vienna reclaims title of the world’s most liveable city
Annual rankings return Austria’s capital to first place, as former title-holder Auckland tumbles to 34th and Ukraine war sees eastern cities slump
“Vienna, which slipped to 12th place in our rankings in early 2021 as its museums and restaurants were closed, has since rebounded to first place, the position it held in 2018 and 2019,” the report said.
“Stability and good infrastructure are the city’s main charms for its inhabitants, supported by good healthcare and plenty of opportunities for culture and entertainment.”

"Worker who was accidentally paid 330 times his salary offers resignation and vanishes without a trace, report says"
"An unnamed Chilean worker resigned and became uncontactable after he was paid approximately 330 times his salary due to a payroll blunder, according to a report.
The dispatch assistant received 165,398,851 Chilean pesos ($180,418) in his monthly paycheck from the cold meats manufacturer CIAL Alimentos on May 30, the Santiago-based financial newspaper Diario Financiero reported.
He was only owed about 500,000 Chilean pesos ($545), the newspaper said."
