@ianRobinson yes but how many people actually A) put any choices other than 1 and 2 and B) know how they are likely to be redistributed so as to vote tactically? I think there’s a huge amount of CBA as people won’t take the time to learn. I’ve been guilty of squandering my vote in the past because of this. It’s counter-intuitive to put down choices of candidates you don’t like because your favourite ones will receive their seconds. Also, very little feedback from party of choice in how to allocate 3s, 4s, and so on. They’re probably not allowed to say, right?

@ianRobinson not enough people (including myself, over the years, down South) understand tactical voting within proportional representation. One can’t help but wonder if they did, would things have been different?

Just watched #Netflix The Wildflower (dir:
Biodun Stephen 2022). Whilst I’m still recovering from such a stark harrowing treatment of a subject as old as time, I thought I’d take a few lines to give praise where praise is due. I think the Nigerian cast and crew should have by now won at least one gong for either writing or performances. Yeah it’s technically flawed. Especially the sound. Which seems like they couldn’t find a gain setting low enough to cope with the explosive motherly wisdom that was Toyin Abraham’s captivating performance. Irony was that possibly the strongest matriarch of the tightly knit ensemble cast met an unfortunate end at the hands of another type of abuse. So sad. And they always say they’re sorry and it’s the last time. Watch this but prepare to be moved. It has light and humour too and is a wonderful window into life in Lagos but by golly is it hard hitting. Literally.

Memory lane. What the iPhone iOS randomly throws at you. Used to hate it. Now love it, kinda. An AI’s idea of your scrapbook life.

Just finished a successful week delivering a mix of JavaScript and Java. Straight outside, in the sun, feet up. Cujo still wearing his Cone Of Shame 🐶🚑

We live in glorious times. I’m talking Alice Cooper re-releases. June 9th. In time for school. Being out. For summer, of course.

We truly live in wonderful times.

@m2m we were/are an agency of trainers, so we used to have a training floor and an admin floor. You could have lunch on either, and I would speak to colleagues from both at least every week or thereabouts whereas now I have to have a definite reason for a Teams call and it could be months.
