In a better world, my washer/drier/fridge could be connected to some local house network which would do nothing other than coordinate power usage and notifications and the big I internet would have nothing to do with it unless I explicitly enabled a gateway.

I'm currently seething not because *I* can't afford the knee MRI, which is only covered by Medicare for 16-49 year olds, but because there's plenty of other 50+ year olds who must be facing a sudden financial shock.

A friend has a little one starting kindergarten.
Their teacher: “They will learn to be good friends, to recognise and name their feelings, and to ask for what they need. Foremostly, they will experience joy and excitement while they do all of this learning. Oh and reading, writing & math.”
