I was talking about the multi-coloured Christmas decorations of our childhood yesterday. In addition to these foil things, we also had multi-coloured tinsel hung around the edges of the ceiling and wrapped around anything hung on the wall (just like the clock in the image). Good times.

There’s a legal challenge coming in Feb due to that fact that it is virtually impossible for rival candidates to get enough support to run for president.

I was rooting for this until I learned that challenge is coming from Bernie Ecclestone’s wife. Seems a bit suspect on the face of it.

This whole thing has got the whiff of money and influence.

"Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die."

I knew it was going to emotionally manipulate me, and it still got me.
