Ideally, they shit the bed badly while somehow not doing too much damage, and the Democrats take both houses in a landslide in 2026.

Delusional hopium I know, but hey, you never know.

There was a certain irony in ranked choice ballot initiatives failing while the same people that didn't show up complained about both candidates being "exactly the same" or to punish the Democratic party.

Most of those people are now all in for Trump. I'm not even sure I'd call them "left" in the way that people mean anyway, even before they became Trump supporters.

And to be clear, it's just a regular podcast so listen to it with any app you want. "Wherever you get your podcasts" and all of that.

exempt school buses and emergency vehicles.

I don't think it ever applied to emergency vehicles, although I'm not sure about school buses.

Indeed:

Qualifying authorized emergency vehicles, qualifying vehicles transporting a person with disabilities, specialized government vehicles, and transit and commuter buses would be exempted from the CBD toll

I'm not sure if commuter buses include school buses, but you'd expect it too.

The main changes seem to be a reduction in tolls. Which is fine as a starting point, although I hope they increase relatively quickly.

Are you saying men always felt women’s place was in the kitchen and now women are saying it isn’t so they’ve moved more liberal?

Pretty much, although it's not just about gender issues. Women have turned more progressive on a variety of issues (climate change, the economy, social issues) whereas men haven't.

Raw milk (and bird flu) for all!

It works, but it only works on Linux so they don't advertise it. You may need to update the firmware to get the best experience too.

And it just seems to feed their supporters' persecution fetish, as it did with Trump.

I use both 1 and 3, personally (although docker rather than podman). I normally prefer the nix way but it doesn't support every service. I like that nix config is all in one place. In theory, so is docker-compose to am extent but there are usually exceptions and things can get complex. I also hate having to directly manage containers with minimal commandline tools.

But yeah the whole translate config routine in nix is kind of annoying, and I often need to experiment to get the options right if they aren't documented.

Good on them, I assume it was years of LNP attrition that it had gotten this bad ? But happy to be corrected if my assumption was incorrect ?

From the article:

The government said its "landmark investment" in 3,000 extra staff was delivering major improvements for all Aussies.

But also I wouldn't be surprised if some of the senior public servants appointed by the Coalition pushed them to slow down processing. Because, as we saw with Robodebt, the Coalition want to punish poor people as much as possible.

Reading itself isn’t what’s important, it’s mental stimulation that is. And more importantly stimulating different parts of the brain.

It's important if you want to understand how the world works on a deeper level. There's a reason that all scientific research is primarily presented in the written form.

Although I assume OP is talking about fiction which is a different matter.
