An evident problem of my making of "These are songs that came out this year that I liked" playlists is that this year I found a ton of music that I really love... that came out in 2018.

Ultimately the electoral system is just stupid and tactical voting shouldn’t even exist, but them’s the rules of the game right now.

The Greens are very much “my party” policy-wise and I’m in Bristol West, where they tend to do well.

But the current (Labour) MP also votes pretty much in-line with my ideals, and I’m conscious of the need to vote tactically to keep one of the Brexit-backing parties out.

I’m actually in a funny situation where, for maybe the first time, I’m kinda torn on how to vote.

New Vote for Policies is here. voteforpolicies.org.uk

World would be a better place if everyone voted for policies, not personalities.

If you ever wondered what the practical differences are between the iPhone 11 Pros zoom levels are.

The weirdest sensation is when I’m lying down and suddenly become conscious of the existence of my legs and I’m like “where the heck am I supposed to put these?”

For All Mankind, episode 1 

What I don’t particularly get is why the show uses fictionalised versions of real people (Apollo 11 crew, Werner Von Braun, Gene Kranz, etc.) in some places but completely fictionalised people for others—the Apollo 10 crew is entirely different from reality, and Margo Madison is an amalgamation of, I suspect, Poppy Northcutt and Margaret Hamilton.

I could grok this in Chernobyl, where they amalgamated literally dozens of people into the character of Ulana, but these are mostly one-for-one replacements and I find it kinda jarring, as someone with some prior knowledge.

For All Mankind, episode 1 

So I watched the first episode of that Apple TV original programme and, heck, it was pretty good. A little distastefully patriotic in places, but I figure that’s indicative of the culture and politics of when it’s set.

Overall, I quite liked it!

Welcome to Frisbee Canyon. Don’t let your bones be turned into a mockery of the life you once led!

Current new phone thoughts: oh my god why is the screen so large aaaaaaaaaa.
