I can’t imagine where she’s getting these crazy ideas!

This is by far the most I've laughed on a webinar (deep laughs of transformative insight).

We need more webinars with masked presenters from the future.

Review: Making Democracy Fun I hate the piles of mailers, attack ads, and clever, narrow messaging. I hate the fact that so much of it has to do with moving the same cadre of electeds into recently or not-yet vacated seats to continue an individual’s political career in an era of term limits.

Aw, shucks. Thx @Dr_Pop for great #MakingDemocracyFun review, links to @avantgame & @pbproject!@mitpress

City Forum | Making Democracy Fun: What Game Design Can Teach Us About Participatory Planning and Politics Presenter: Josh Lerner of Participatory Budgeting Project Anyone who has been to a public hearing or community meeting would agree that participatory democracy can be boring. Hours of repetitive presentations, for or against, often with no clear outcome or decision. Is this the best democracy can offer? In Making Democracy Fun, JoshLerner offers a novel solution for the sad state of our democracy: the power of good game design. Lerner shows how we can use the tools of game design to make community meetings, campaigns, policy-making, and other democratic processes work, by making them more engaging and fun.

Friday: #MakingDemocracyFun book talk at @UTAustin! @mitpress #NLCATX@UTAustinSoc @UTAustinNews
