Update July 23rd, 2019
Oh my god - what has happened.
June 28th, 2016
This blog post is to play with the interwebs and test a theory.
Since June 23rd, 2016 I've been getting way more traffic than usual from the UK. It took me a few minutes to figure out why, until it hit me that I share a name with Boris Johnson's daughter, whose name is Cassia Peaches Johnson. I am pretty sure my website has been getting more hits than usual because of our awesome name share. And though I agree that CPJ's dad does have a good taste in names, I absolutely hate his politics.
Brexit shook my world view and, and much to my own surprise, made me quite sad. I'm starting to snap out of it, but I can't imagine how the British "stay" 50% must feel. I hope that somehow things can be reversed.
How this decision was left to popular vote bewilders me. Emotional votes shouldn't decide the economic future of a country. That shit should be left to economists. And remember, the same country also voted for its new polar research ship to be named "Boaty McBoatFace"(http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-36225652).
I hope that somehow, like Boaty McBoatFace, the decision can be remedied. I am hoping for the best for the nation who gave the world Attenborough.
