What is “Dubai Style Chocolate”, why is it so preposterously expensive (£10 a bar?!) and why is every corner store and supermarket near me suddenly promoting it so aggressively?

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency.
The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries.
Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

We thought my paternal grandmother's oatmeal cookie recipe was lost when she died. There was a recipe card in the card box but it didn't make the cookies we all remembered.
I’m sorry to be depressing but if there is a dish you ate today that someone you love made and you can’t imagine a world where you stop getting to have that every year
Get the fucking recipe 😭

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Ok query time. Biology is messy and full of exceptions. How does *your* body differ from the usual expected of you as the human you are? Anything big or small.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.
