I love it when the power supply cycles on and off quickly several times before going back off. What could go wrong? This is fine, it's fine.

Let's normalize crossing the floor and elected reps primarily representing their constituencies not acting as proxies for parties. Get rid of first past the post, and have a LOT of parties. Canada, the US and UK are the only OECD nations to still use FPTP.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Someone once wrote to me, "Why don't you go back to whatever shit hole country you came from?"
I replied, "Thanks for my daily dose of racism this morning."
And he wrote back, "Of course you would play the race card!"
The dumb... it's literally overwhelming.
