Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.
Users in the 'systemd-journal' group can see all messages. Pass -q to
turn off this notice.
The issue is that I am in the "systemd-journal" group.

What is going on here? What am I doing wrong and not understanding about this "Hint" above? Ok, powercycling fixed the issue. Do you recommend adding admin user to "systemd-journal" group typically?
