I was watching this youtuber called Charles Veitch and now I’m addicted. That’s a first. He’s a right winger who makes long videos walking the streets of Manchester commenting on anything from protests in support of Palestine to drunks and addicts in the streets. There’s just so much to unpack in those hour long videos.

I’m left wing, but he’s not wrong about everything. He has to walk around with multiple bodyguards for his own safety because he’s being physically attacked by what he calls ‘Balaklava boys’, young men, mostly Muslim, dealing drugs and in other ways showing criminal tendencies, being intimidating. Smack dap in the very center of Manchester.

Anyone has the right to free speech in the UK without fear of being physically attacked. The open display of alcoholism, drug abuse, lewd behaviour, intimidation, physical violence, and more, is really distopian and a problem regardless of which side on the political spectrum you are. Although I disagree, I can see where some of the right wing ideas come from, and that’s sobering.

Anyway, I guess I should share a link here, this is from Saturday: https://youtu.be/9B34WgDI718

Thanks!

Things that I really like about Zen:

• New tab URL input, it’s a dialog overlay
• Tabs opening as the first instead of the last in the sidebar
• the tab sidebar
• opening external links is magic, they open in an overlay with the option to expand in a tab. This is probably my favourite, because often I need to open a link from an email, do one thing, then go back to the email. This feature keeps me in the context of what I was doing.

I don’t get it
