Many people have noted that the Primary / Social / Forums / Updates tabs are missing when you do this 👀. You can recreate these manually using the "Multiple Inbox" setup in settings. Basically, tell your inbox to include emails tagged "inbox" and exclude the social / forums / updates.

The language of the law and human rights isn’t always easy to understand - but the kaupapa is clear. It’s about doing what’s right and it’s about upholding the mana of our communities by treating everyone with dignity and respect.

The Government is banning new patients from being prescribed the most common form of puberty blocker and is explicitly aligning NZ's future policy on this matter to the UK's. PR below.

Breaking: Line of Duty has been confirmed for a seventh series, BBC has said.
17 million people saw the series six finale in 2021. Steve, Ted Hastings (like the battle) and Kate are all reprising their roles.

I’m watching “The Twelve” and Marlon Williams plays Sam Neil’s son and in the episode they play a Marlon Williams song so in that universe Marlon Williams exists and his doppelgänger is getting stoned with his estranged dad drinking wine (from Two Paddocks?)

Also some very pleasing intel that Hard To Find is not going to leave Auckland, no matter what happens to its current digs which are on the market. Which is a very good early Christmas present - book shopping on line just doesn't float my boat.

Forgot the alt: book cover of Fire and Ice: secrets, histories, mysteries and treasures of Tongariro National Park, by Hazel Philips.
I got a lot out of this collection of historical and geographical curiosities of Tongariro National Park. It’s a Pākeha history, although there is discussion of pre-European land use and tikanga.

The combo of walled-garden social media and AI replacing search means the death of the useful/open/free internet. Why would anyone create anything when it will just be summarized by AI and no one will ever see it? When social media deprecates outbound links, how will anyone find original content?
