There is speculation the UCP will invoke the notwithstanding clause tomorrow for its 3 laws restricting the rights of trans and gender diverse youth. This requires legislative amendment so will need to be voted on by the Leg. It is Transgender Awareness Week and this timing is beyond shameful.
@jenniferkoshan.bsky.social Jennifer this is correct I think. Smith is using the Notwithstanding Clause again. I wanted to check with the expert!
Is Danielle Smith using the Notwithstanding Clause a second time?!?!?!

USPS is adding a service in response to reciprocal tariffs and the end of de minimis. Shippers sending packages abroad will soon be able to use USPS DDP to reduce the risk that buyers reject items at the time of delivery.

Super cool that so many craft forums are full of people trying to decide if a pattern purchased off of Etsy is Generative AI or legit and how many of us are using our skills to be AI detectives. So. Coooooool.

Google is infusing AI into just about every part of online shopping: browsing for products, calling local stores to ask about inventory (!!), and actually purchasing the item for you. This is a warning shot to influencers and news orgs doing buying guides:

Google will let users call stores, browse products, and check out using AI
There have never been more options for things to buy. Google is betting AI is how shoppers will make decisions.

I've been called out as an Etsy employee who could never criticize the corp 🤣🤣🤣
OP insists that "thousands" of sellers are being hurt by an Etsy issue that started Nov. 6, but I've only been able to verify a few dozen - & most of them were violating Etsy policies.
Truth hurts, I guess? 🙄
