Solid Sixty

a brief catch up before reading probably the driest and most unnecessarily name dropping article I've ever transcribed.  

I ramble on about the privations of a pandemic shutdown and read an article about the benefits of open borders. Timely.

I lament the lack of access to my boys and read two articles from the Guardian.

I dive into a reddit thread filled with bizarre trivia and also update my personal situation a little.  In general life is good, could be far better but hey, not homeless and somewhat socially functional so yay me!

The last episode recorded in 2019 I update my personal life a little then move into two awesome articles, one about identity politics taking over fantasy fiction and the other about the pernicious spectre of classism in the arts.

I read an old piece on the strange and enigmatic man who made dozens of trips to Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden while homeless, on dialysis and armed with nothing more than a hang glider, pig sticker and a samurai sword he picked up on the shopping network..

I briefly go over the highlights of Danger Close the Battle for Long Tan before sinking my teeth into ALL the trivia I can dig up on Tarantinos ninth film, Once upon a time in Hollywood!

I wrap up the story on the Netflix analytics and read an interesting little slice of life from small town America in the early eighties where one bad apple gets his just desserts.  

Okay so the name is clickbait as fuck, we don't talk about that quirky movie as much as id like but I do brush over my last days with Cookers and my first week with the glass people. Then go on to narrate an article about early attempts to perfect the Netflix recommendation system.  This algorithm stuff is hard to work out but some of the implications are fascinating!
