After working in the NT in the lat 80s, early 90s, I thought I'd covered every crazy story about the local politicians. ( My favourites were the MP who punched another fan while at the footy, and the Mines and Energy minister drinking water from the Ranger tailings dam to prove uranium was safe.)
I didn't expect them to keep electing crazy people in the 21st century.

Israel elects its parliament through nationwide proportional representation.
Citizens aged eighteen and older vote for a party, not a candidate,
and the number of seats in the Knesset that a party gets corresponds to the percentage of votes they receive.
Before the election, parties submit lists of prospective members of the Knesset.
To enter the Knesset, a party must receive at least 3.25 percent of the national vote, which is equivalent to four seats.

Wedgewood Polls says it fabricated data in surveys picked up by national media outlets as a "social experiment" to expose the lack of scrutiny over the sector (Lucy Campbell/The Guardian)

What started as a “two week” (*laughs*) breaking change has mushroomed into a giant six-month monster that has hugely improved every part of Kitten but fuck me if I ever let it get this bad again. So overwhelmed right now and focussing on the small mechanical steps to pull it all together. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to release it this month and then get back to Catalyst and Meow.
Can’t wait to return to frequent small iterations and updates.
