Haven’t you heard? The State of Victoria was annexed by time-travelling Victorians in the name of their queen. We’ve been at war for over a decade; it is why Australia spends any significant amount of money on its military.

I wish there were a festival for people who hate ideas festivals.

Also... is this an example of horseshoe theory?? Aren't charter cities just soviets/workers councils????
