the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

The Politician. I rewatch it all the time and desperately wish it got a 3rd and 4th season
Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.
What's yours?

I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them.
In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

So Codenames (and thus CGE) has blocked me, a Trans developer and designer, because I had the nerves to send them the two replies you find below. Judge for yourself if these are worth a ban.
This is their way of dealing with empathy and care in this ongoing conversation.

While playing Moon River from @brunocathala.bsky.social and @yohanservais.bsky.social my friend messaged me this and I totally agree! We're both vegetarian, but we often use meat as a metaphor for the depth and approachability of the decisions in games. This is our way of saying it's perfection! 🌛🏞️

My niche pet peeve of the day is when people try and tell others how to pronounce Melbourne by spelling it Melbin. It's much clearer to spell it Melb'n #ExtremelyImportant

This is a great video and I recommend everyone in Australia watch it, but there is one tiny piece of misinformation in it. From 1:01-1:08 the speaker implies that strategic voting isn't necessary in Australia's electoral system, but this is not true. Strategic voting gets independents elected
Every election, we've made a video to help voters understand how our preferential voting system works. This is for the 2025 election. If you find it helpful, pls share with your family, friends and pets. Good luck Australia! 💛🗳️

Seconding this. A real stand out that has us all laughing AND puzzling! I'm really excited to play it again! 📶
All the games I played on game day ranked. Top spot is Signal by @dvcgames.bsky.social In the game you’re experts trying to communicate with aliens. A great deduction game similar to First Contact but instead of words you work with objects. Really great fun especially if you’re drinking wine 😆
