Some thoughts on politics, a topic I don't normally touch with a barge pole

I generally don’t comment about politics on social media, or really in life in general. I find the whole topic to be divisive and alienating especially as someone who is not liberal enough for the left and not conservative enough for the right, it is a hard topic to broach.

What I can say is this: I am very disappointed in the current state of politics both in the UK and USA. In the UK we have ended up with a government that will inflict great damage on society and is already doing so. In the US it feels like no matter the result, the same will be true.

I find myself wondering how it is two supposedly educated countries find that their choices for their political leaders are so poor, leaving voters with a bad and worse. My only hope is that we don’t see scenes in America similar to the last election and people manage to keep their heads screwed on.

A friends daughters headphones wouldn’t connect wirelessly to their Surface computer. I fiddled around for a bit and then pulled the cable that comes with them from the box. Worked first time. Sometimes the old ways are the best.

The new Mac mini base model is looking very tempting… if I start picking up some freelance work it might be the new Mac I need.

I’ve decided to give Kagi a try for a bit to see what it’s like. Initial impressions are it’s fast, the page loads insanely quick compared to Google.

Just found out that UNRWA is being tipped to win a peace prize… This is an organisation that has had Hamas terrorists in their employ. An organisation that has employees who have held Israeli hostages in their own homes. They are not innocent and do not deserve it.

Went to visit a small gallery exhibition opening last night. A collection of postcard sized boards by loads of different artists. Somehow got roped into doing something for it to fill some gaps left by those that had been sold…

I don't think I've gone from discovering a book to buying a book so quickly. I've always loved notebooks, and now a book about their history.
