What happened to the voters list this year? How many others were dropped off of it and didn't bother to deal with it for all kinds of good reasons?

1. I was not on the voter's list.
2. I called and was told I needed to come in person to register.
3. I went down to register, and then was told to come back when my ballot was ready.
4. The postal strike + work travel meant I could not just vote on election day, and could not mail in my ballot.

I needed to take 3 trips to city hall this year in order to vote - I was not on the voters list despite living in the same house for 18 years. The average person would not take these extra steps. Voter turnout is partially a function of electoral management. Let us assess our processes, St John's.

You don't say...

Also fun fact, searching for “divorce anthems” on spotify leads to all kinds of entertaining playlists including some separated out by moms versus dads! What a genre!

Wonderful, Gijs! Congratulations.

I am impressed, this is a well-developed list!!

I wanted to name my kids Stevie. Love this one!!!

I can only imagine. It’s really well done. And the fact that this is so friggin common and basically built into the structure is…well…you know.

This is tough to read but really important.

Ooooh!!

Yeah!!

Well, I, for one, am proud of us for doing the sensible thing and basing our entire economy on computers that tell kids to kill themselves

DEAR ANN LANDERS: It is obvious from reading your column that large numbers of husbands and boyfriends are going bisexual or totally gay. I'll bet few women have figured out why this is happening to them. May I explain? --North County Times, 15 Aug 1982

Say it often, say it loud:

"Overall, research has not supported the common-sense presumption that digital approaches to schooling are better than non-digital alternatives. At the broadest level, widespread computer use in education has been found to be associated with lower student achievement."

This is the part that I find most astounding and hard to watch.
