We all need to reconsider how our democracies run. How democratic are our current systems really? In Australia a number of our community councils run by citizen assemblies. I would like to see our whole country run at least in part this way.

A comic from 2022. I want to make a distinction between the Democrats who are speaking out forcefully against authoritarianism and those whose overcautious approach enabled the extremist takeover of our institutions. This is about the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.

This kind of cynicism doesn't solve anything, and never can. It's corrosive and infectious, and promotes an atmosphere of despair. There's nothing positive about this. It just tells us, "There's no hope; give up." Where is the hopeful contrast implied in the leading text?
I'm sure you mean better, but this just ruined my day. Maybe I'm just the wrong audience. I find your work depressing, and can't follow any more, I'm sorry.

The fires more than an hour north of us are still of concern. They are still at the stage where they create their own weather. However, people in places like Marysville and Warburton, which are closer to us, are being told they can return to their homes. This comes with a caveat to stay indoors, because the smoke, and most especially that smoke you can't see, is very damaging to health. Winds have turned north, so we will be getting less smoke in Healesville, but it is lingering. Only go out with your mask!
Yesterday, I was unable to put up my CheckIn post straight away, because our power went out for several hours. It came back for several hours, then was quickly out and back up in the afternoon.

Connection errors, random disconnects, forgets set keyboard repeat rate, it is so extremely annoying if your OS does not even allow you to use a keyboard without problems.
