On Saturday, Australia votes. Don't be confused, listen to Dennis the Election Koala*. Unlike most of the world, Australia's voting is different. So you can't 'waste your vote' by voting for minor vs major parties. (*Like Anthony Green, only more feisty). www.chickennation.com/voting/

Does anyone have an actual reference to where/when Sid Meier said "A game is a series of interesting choices"? Every reference I can find just points to it quoted somewhere else. Usually to the book "Game Architecture and Design" by Rollings and Morris, which in turn provides no reference for it.

I remember the main thing I took away from Andreas Malm's How To Blow Up A Pipeline when I read it was that climate change *is*, in part, an individual consumption issue, and we already know just which individuals and just which consumptions we need to deal with.

Labor’s Andrew Giles is preferencing the Liberals, family first, trumpets of patriots and a former one nation candidate over Victorian Socialists in Scullin, that’s not a great look.
