I’m sick of politics. And world news. And just the general state of humanity. So I’m just not going to bother ranting about it. Instead, have a list of things that are better than the state of current affairs:

Hullo everybody! Hope you’re doing well!
Again, I’m actively choosing not to discuss the shitbasket that is modern media and politics. Instead, I’m going to give you some good news – I have NEVER felt better rested in my life than this weekend. I’m making more of an effort to address my sleep apnea, and though weight loss will help eventually (once I lose more than a couple of kilograms), the best thing that I’ve done this weekend? Sleeping on my side. That’s it. That’s all. I have not nodded off once during this weekend, during the day!
First of all, Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim pals! I can’t imagine that a summer Ramadan has been particularly easy on you with the long hours and all.
Anyway, I think my brain would actually implode if I went through all the political stuff that’s happened this week, so instead I’m going to brag a bit about the new gaming machine I got – it is rather delicious! Very first thing I did was purchase Fallout 4, install it, and run it on ultra settings on a 4k TV. The computer barely heats up, and the game looks GORGEOUS. Hoping this rig will be able to last me, from a technical standpoint, for at least 5 years or so.
Happy 4th of July, all you United Statesians! Hope you have a great day with the people you you love and indulge in plenty of barbecue and fireworks!
Maybe one day, Scotland too will have its own independence day. Although given our traditional weather systems I highly doubt that it will involve any outdoor activities like barbecue and fireworks 😛
It’ll be interesting to see how the Brexit situation continues… It would be quite undemocratic for parliament to ignore the advice provided by the referendum, but there is a good deal of support for a second referendum or to prevent Brexit altogether.
Well, we’re now well into this particular catastrophe. Let’s recount, shall we?
So, the UK has vote to leave the EU. And it’s all gone to shit already, quite predictably. To recap:
As I write this, it’s 0430 and we’re well on our way to leaving the European Union.
This is a bad thing. A bad. Thing.
The only consolation is that Scotland thus far seems to be majority Remain, which suggests a sufficiently different political landscape from the rest of the UK – suggesting also that perhaps, just perhaps, we’re not as united as the myopic, imperial haze likes to think we are.
I’d like to thank Remain-ers everywhere, and I’m proud to see that the two regions I have closest ties to, Manchester and Newcastle, voted in favour of Remain. You guys rock – keep fighting the good fight.
Pros: It’s officially summertime!
Cons: As I finish this, the sun is rising and I REALLY should get some sleep…
So, toodlepip for now, and I’ll catch you on Friday, hopefully more refreshed and with more to say!

Modern British politics, in general, can be summed up by one adjective: Stupid. And it grows stupider and more childish every day. But for the most part, there is little violence. As long as I have been alive, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a serving politician being murdered.
That was shattered today. I’m not going to relive the details of the incident – they are plentifully available online – but in summary, Labour MP Jo Cox was attacked and murdered by a scumbag screaming “Britain First”.
Not much to say today – I’m still thinking about the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. I struggle to understand the kind of hatred that would drive someone to take the lives of so many innocent people. I struggle to understand the very NATURE of that hatred. I struggle to comprehend the kind of stupendous idiocy that causes people to try and use the tragedy to score incorrect, homophobic, xenophobic political points.
Maybe a miracle will happen between now and Friday, and I’ll be proclaiming Earth the Best Place In The Universe.
