They are mostly going to work for sharing, and I promise to label the marmalade oatmeal cookies so nobody gets assaulted with marmalade and raisins when they think they’re getting chocolate chip. πŸ˜…

Those marketing (totally bunk) "stem cell" supplements love lean on meaningless wellness-woo phrases, like natural, GMO-free, pure, organic, toxin-free...

The UCP have introduced their legislation to break the teachers' strike, Bill 2. It does invoke the notwithstanding clause. With aggressive use of 'time allocation' to restrict debate, the government is expected to push the bill through all three readings this evening.

I sure wasn't prompted by the system to pre-book 2026/27 when I booked for this year.

Just to be clear, this 2026-27 pre-order was announced in August of this year as reported by @stalbertgazette.bsky.social .

BUT it was not announced at the time that pre-ordering for 2026-27 would be cut off in mid Dec this year.
