A lot of chatter in many places about the elections in the UK and the USA. A recurring refrain … “If the Brits can do it .. so can we.”

Just to remind my American friends that on pretty much anything that Britain does .. the US will likely do the opposite and always different .. even if they are the only ones on the world to do it … and absolutely having no regard for the consequences.

My recommendation? Keep focussed on what American voters need to do. You made your decision to break from the UK centuries ago, so who cares what we are doing?

Your choice later this year is one of two things.

1. End your democracy and in turn empower the rest of the nut jobs around the world to do the same.
2. Vote against that.

You the voter are in charge.

Still in doubt? I commend you to take a listen to Kara Swisher’s 🔗 🎙️ July 4th Special: Why Heather Cox Richardson Still Has Hope for American Democracy

You can listen to the whole thing 🔗 🎙️here, but if this 40 seconds doesn’t make you sit up - don’t bother.

Conan’s short promo had me laughing out loud 😂 as I wandered down to the ferry this morning.

🎈126/366 I know @dave is a fan of Andrew Hickey - me too. No time to listen to them all, but when you do - superb. Absolutely superb.

🔗🎙️ Sad to see this in my stream .. disgusted even. Got to say, I thought he was a better person than I could ever have been)

Meanwhile - let’s see what happens - and if it doesn’t, we really need to rally round and make sure it does.

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

He just delivered a great story - as always and funny. He didn’t say it the way I did (mainly because he has more talent) … but I think we agree. Take a listen.
