Don't think I have many Brits reading this anymore, but looks like you're going to be having a 4th July party, too. Good luck! (Also: isn't it nice not to have years of political advertising at a time?)

Meanwhile, I'm trying to explain to obliviates on TikTok why "vote for Jill Stein" (with the person promoting it claiming that she can fix the country) is not, in fact, going to fix the country.

Sheesh.

I bet I know more about the American electoral process than at least 50% of American citizens.

Also, if you've never heard of Gina Rinehart before this week, lucky you. (Ironically, the portrait style is just the way the artist does portraits; it's not a commentary on her - or it didn't need to be.) But I do hope someone has since explained "the Streisand Effect" to Gina.

Finally, no, building more houses is not the answer (making the component of home ownership that promotes rental income less attractive is one part of the answer), and the problem is not social media technology being used by kids but the way the adults programming the SM tech know too much about how to use it against kids while the parents trying to manage their children don't know enough about how it can be used against their kids.
