The Year that was 2024

After 2020’s upheaval, I hoped we’d recovered, but 2024 brought new challenges, especially late in the year.

Weekly Notes 45/2024

Most of us think democracy is fair. I think it is only as fair as people around us are. It won’t remain fair if we don’t work hard to keep it that way. The most horrible leaders are chosen by us (the people), from orange men in India and the US to Hitler...
