Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

It is UhMayZing how much ignorance there is out there about jurisdiction and governance.

Weekend baking roundup: chocolate chip cranberry scones with lavender sugar, sourdough sugar cookie bars, and a bolo de cenoura (Brazilian carrot cake).

I doubt it.

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.

Social Murder. People will get sick, people will die.

Unnecessarily.

Sure does. There really is zero reason for doing this except to stop people getting vaccinated via bureaucratic barriers. Those murdering motherfuckers.

What in the ever-living fuck is this???? Preorder now for next year?

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

A lot of TV shows now have a warning about "adult situations" . . .
but then you watch and no one is going to work, paying bills or cleaning up dog poop.

Back to work tomorrow, buying my coworkers’ love with sugar as usual.
