It's been 20 years to the day since my dad died. I'm definitely a different person because of it. More afraid of my own mortality, possibly, but also more keen to live a rich and interesting life and more grateful for how fortunate I am. I like to think he'd be proud.

Watched the F1 Juniors broadcast to spice up the Grand Prix. The kids did a great job. Felt a bit sorry for Scarlett when Danica Patrick told her women were at an inherent disadvantage in racecars. For what it's worth I disagree: precision, focus and drive aren't male-exclusive.

A dark part of me worries that we get the leaders we deserve. That globally we've become more selfish and dispassionate, or less ashamed to show it. That people are only swayed by fake news and Facebook memes if they were already receptive to the underlying message.

You should always be deeply suspicious of anyone telling you not to politicise things or that it's the 'wrong time' to do so. Policy directly affects every aspect of our lives and, in a situation like this, whether we live or die. Politicise *everything*.

What I find wild about the US stimulus checks (aside from the amount) is that they are called stimulus checks at all. Like it's too frightening to describe them in terms of support for people (which is surely the aim), they have to be for stimulating the economy.
