Today is my last day at Google. I joined as an intern almost 18 years ago, and it still feels like it was yesterday. I'm incredibly grateful that I got to work with so many amazing and talented folks, but I'm also excited to try something new. First step: a few months of travel and photography :)

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

they think this will kill the independent movement.

An absolute bloody disgrace.
Democracy for sale, rubber-stamped by the duopoly.
I said if this was passed that I'd use my (tiny) influence to advocate for putting the majors last this election.
It's locked in.

the major parties have seen their primary votes fall from 96% in 1975 to 68% in 2022.
they had two options to arrest the decline:
1. win back trust with good governance & good policy
2. rig the system
tonight they chose to rig the system.
a dark day for australian democracy.
