这对法拉奇来说是一场灾难。几乎每一次结果都让他看起来很可笑。上次补选中,他(英国改革党)赢得了约 45% 的选票。这在英国大选中已经是很大的胜利了,因为通常会有 4 个政党获得相当数量的选票--国会议员通常会以比这低得多的票数获胜。这是在大选的背景下取得的,当时的大选宣传力度很大,改革党的声望也达到了顶峰(此后他们的声望下滑了不少)。即便如此,仍有近 55% 的人没有投他的票。这样一来,就有大量选民四处游荡,无人可投。也许他们懒得投票,但另一方面,也许他们会投票。最近的选举中出现了很多战术性投票(即人们投票给最有可能击败不受欢迎候选人的政党)--如果人们有足够的动力这样做,那么他们很可能会有足够的动力投票给斌。八月份的选举会有大量的宣传,各种随机事件都可能发生(被称为 "傻季",因为通常会出现一些新的真空期)。也就是说,法拉奇很可能会获胜,但除非他以绝对压倒性的优势获胜(即Binface只获得几百票),否则他的实力将大打折扣。

这还是在考虑Binface的真实身份之前--他毕业于牛津大学古典文学专业,曾担任过 "Thick of It "和 "Have I got News for You"(两部广受欢迎的政治讽刺剧)的编剧,他的播客(Podcast)还吸引了一些大人物。每次接受采访,他都表现得非常聪明、犀利、善于表达。如果有一天他和法拉奇进行面对面的讨论,一定会产生无穷无尽的法拉奇受辱片段。

撇开政治派别不谈,看到傲慢自大的人被打倒是件好事。

Even though you could question the whole Artemis concept, it's still extremely exciting watching the countdown with my son. I just missed the original Apollo flights and had assumed I would never see a moon landing in my lifetime. We may well not have a landing for quite some time yet, but it's still cool to see a Moon bound rocket standing on the launchpad...

I'm not sure I agree with "universally", I bet there are a awful lot of people who can't stand that level of service and find it quite uncomfortable. I get that I could order ahead etc, but that makes an impulse purchase into a multi-step process. I'm sure the multi-trillion dollar company felt that pain when I still bought their product only from a different place. Oh wait... ;-)

That is true, but I'm sometimes I'm frankly far too impatient to wait for delivery.

Slightly tangential rant, but is anybody else becoming frustrated with the process of buying Apple products in Apple stores? For me, it started with the Apple Watch - I knew which one I wanted and was ready just to head down and buy one, but I was forced to sit through an entire "fitting" with patronising explanation on how to use the knob on the the side. Recently, I wanted to buy a new Phone. Again, I knew the one I wanted and was ready to part with cash and walk out with a box as quickly as possible - I approached a sales assistant, said: "Hi, I'd like to buy a new phone please" (or words to that effect) to be informed that if I didn't have an appointment, it would take half an hour or so to get somebody over. A random store nearby that also sold phones had no issue selling me one.

The whole experience of visiting an Apple store has changed from being something I looked forward to just another shopping chore. The VR headset is a case in point - if I want to be guided through the process, then I will ask for that. Otherwise, just sell me the damn product! I guess maybe I'm just not their target audience any more.
