Yes! I still have fond memories of my 2-night cruise from Copenhagen to Oslo and back (including a day tour of Oslo) that @ricksteves.bsky.social suggested for my limited time in Scandi! Cheaper than 2 nights' hotel! (at least it was back in 1995 when I did it!)
The @ricksteves.bsky.social shoutout in tonight’s episode of #Pluribus 😆

Okay, who else just got a notification from Apple Books to download the exclusive excerpt of Carol Sturka's book Bloodsong of Wycaro? #pluribus

I'm not usually a 'bible quote' person, but this one from Isaiah applies so much:
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!"
Defending pedophiles is sickening. Protect girls. It’s such a dangerous world for them.

I agree with all of this! :) After the first episode, I said to my husband, "what did we just watch?! I'm not gonna try to figure this out. It is what it is."
Watch Pluribus on Apple TV. From Vince Gilligan, starring Rhea Seehorn. No, I can’t tell you what it’s about. No, you shouldn’t try to find out. Just trust me. You trust me, right? Go in blind. (Also ignore the stupid ad campaign.)
The only bad part so far is they’ve only released two episodes.

We're hoping to test drive the MG S5 EV in the next week or so. @kiwiev.bsky.social I remember you posted your potato score for it on FB back in September, but I can't find any video review. Did you do one? Would love to see it! #AoNZ #ev Anyone get one of these? #kikorangi

Gutting of Zero Carbon Act crashes bipartisan climate consensus
It took more than a year of painstaking cross-partisan negotiation to land the Zero Carbon Act. Now, the Govt is gutting it unilaterally, Marc Daalder reports

#nzpol Unemployment reached a 9 year of 5.3%. The labour market took another turn for the worse - unemployment growing, underemployment growing, fewer hours being worked, and wages are not keeping up with inflation. This data is another sign the economy is not working. A thread

Wellington Girls’ has moved to WFH for at least Monday-Wednesday next week after another measles case was found. The student was at prize giving, so basically the whole school is now affected. As are family members who attended. Contract tracing is going to be a bit of a trick.

Getting to your meeting 30 seconds quicker is a higher priority than protecting kids from cars on their way to school
Keeping school attendance up is a higher priority than protecting kids from measles
Saving a few bucks is a higher priority than a decent lunch
