the other day my dad and i were talking offhand about the state of modern musicTM and too many middle class bands etc etc and i mentioned the jam at one point and he (a jam fan) was like "ah but even they weren't Properly working class were they..... growing up i was much worse off than paul wellers type of family...." etc. and like. on one hand its ironic that that sort of thing is exactly what the jam/tsc/weller preached against like. it should always be unity against the man rather than macho infighting over who's more oppressed but at the same time it is a little funny. because paul weller himself never actually had a job besides music did he. like correct me if im wrong but being in a successful band was his first actual job wasn't it. he already wrote some of the best lyrics of our time regarding class struggles and whatnot so i guess we can only imagine what he might have written if he'd actually worked in tescos and woolworths .

I think this a good time as any to share what I think H0rners big brain been cooking for some time, especially after the Spa fiasco wid Danny ric and allegedly big sponsors having to step in to save Checos seat ((Im skeptical of those reports but they not really the point, Checo bringing Liberty, and rbr, a lot of money from very intense LATAM pockets never been a secret, and it does matter in the cost cap era, its just how things are. Plus replacing Checo not something that keeps Horner up at night believe it or not, and that's where my word vomit comes in)).

I been sitting wid this 1 for some time, but mind u its all speculation on my part and mostly incoherent because my brain is completely fried these days. But stay wid me 😭😭. Adrian Newey leaving-- not just because of how it was announced, the way it was dealt wid internally, the shit he's been saying to press now ((he's tired and needs a break but been shopping around for teams like he's bored on hinge)) -- was , imo, more of a statement of distrust. In the rbr project, but mainly in Horner. He no longer believes Horners ability to succeed, he prolly already knew the rb20 as an evolution of the rb19 had its set of obvious limitations when it came to suspension once the field closed up, he knew they were headed down a difficult type of season, he took a step back, he saw the cracks begin to delve deeper and deeper into nastiness between the Verstappen camp and Horner, he saw Horner refuse to take accountability while Max very pointedly and UNLIKE all the other red bull drivers refused to express his unconditional support for Horner. Quite the opposite, Verstappen began making threats. Centering the importance of the car ((!!!)) and a stable environment, not Horners innocence or lack thereof. He doesn't care about that, as long as hes got the people and the car to work wid. Keep that in mind.

But back to the Newey divorce . Adrians one of the most important figures in motorsport period, he knew he had better options, perhaps some financial motivations, why not, he said thank you, I don't trust you anymore, goodbye. So here falls a core, original pillar of Milton Keynes, arguably one of the most successful aerodynamicists of all time. 1 of Red Bulls bishop, gone. Still, they rallied behind Wache, they said Adrian hadn't been part of development for some time, their factory remains strong, they can fill in the gaps, rbr is STABLE, sure sure sure.

Imola, Canada, Spain. We all hold hands wid Max and play pretend for a lil bit. Verstappen factor and all that bullshit. But for some reason, Max delivers the same conclusion every post race presser. This car is falling behind. We are starting to struggle. The sim data and the on track data don't correlate. This car is not gonna win constructors. Idk how the fuck its even the WDC. CHECO of course appears to be driving for my cousin's bumper cars themed birthday party so we can all point and laugh and marvel at how a driver known for his experience and who's won races and gotten poles to suddenly drop to fucking p6 in the standings. Surely this is the worst driver of all time. Surely.

Austria. Rbr pit stops, already looking kinda iffy since the beginning of the season, hit a new low. Lando, wid a single good overtake, wins the race, effectively beating Max on track. Max didn't let him. And he came out of it with a points advantage too, because he made a choice regarding his driving and how he wud defend his position. In a better car, that's never a choice he has to make. But the car isn't on par wid Mclaren. Rbr factory development has, quite clearly, stalled. Upgrade packages go backwards.

Hungary. Yeah. Everything is stable and the car was good and Max was beyond delighted of course.

So, that's stable environment gone, competitive car gone, and now off goes Wheatley to fulfill his tp destiny. Somebody , who, once upon a time, was rightly identified as the guy who wud replace Christian Horner due to the severity of the allegations made against him. Yeah, remember when Horner shud have fucking been fired? But Horner stayed, Newey left, and Wheatley left. To disconnect these events is, imo, a lil bit insane. Wid Wheatley gone, that's red bulls bishop n2 fallen. I think its fairly reasonable to assume somebody wid 2 cats in Monaco is straight up not having a good time anymore.

So, where do Checo and Danny ric and that fucking seat come in. They're all part of this dance, but I think in a way that's been fairly misinterpreted. See for a long time now, prolly since he signed Danny ric to do tiktoks, even before Vcarb became a thing, Horner has not been looking for a replacement for Checo. He's been looking for a replacement for Max. Ik, again, this is me letting the voices take over. Lemme say some unhinged shit before u call the cops. Max is an impossible teammate. U cant match Max on pace over an entire season, u cant prioritize a driver over Max when it comes to development, u cant tailor a car to somebody like Checo ((which , because Im so fucking money on this, is what Horner has just claimed he's gonna start doing post Spa)) and not Max, because, simply put, the car will be slower. Max can drive faster cars, he can deliver the poles, he can give rbr a fighting chance, he's been doing that shit, wid more or less success, all season, most of his fucking career actually. Now, who do y'all know who also qualifies very well, likes a pointy car wid a shit ton of oversteer and recently been caught discussing rb20 failings wid Verstappen himself. Danny ric. And Danny ric, like Checo, is very much in the Horner camp side of things. Danny ric, rn, comes wid bonuses of loyalty and trust and maybe a lil chip on his shoulder that Verstappen quite simply does not have, or cares to have because that brother is trying to get his fourth championship, not survive f1. Danny ric comes as a success story for red Bull amidst very trying times for the brand, the silver son who bent the knee and came home to warm hugs and big smiles after nearly getting fucking taken out back in a farm by Zak brown. U put that brother next to Checo or Lawson or whoever u also have the bonus of not having one of the best drivers of all time absolutely refuse to finish behind them, which can be a lil bit annoying if the car is shit too.

Horner is a stingy, extremely egocentric asshole, who prolly shudve been fired a long time ago, and he's not the team principal I thought he was. Horner's strength as a tp came from standing on business for his WDC once the going gets hard. He's doing none of that this season, at least not for Max. He's just a man, and at the end of the day, he's got the pride and insecurity of one, too. If he thought Newey was expendable, well sure u already have a bald man in the team who gives a fuck ((????)), if he thinks Wheatley is expendable, that's pointing towards a more personal type of dutch centric trend, because if he thinks MAX is expendable ... if this 2023 Merc stinking ass fucking season is headed the way I think its headed baby. I wish him good luck .

SPIN OFF for COLOUR ME YOUR COLOUR and RUSH

"there'll be no spring if not for this love of mine"

summary: posts and tweets exchanged between lester and others during the baku race weekend as she babysat toto and tilly wolff's children. OR chaos ensues in the paddock and the hospitalities as the wolff kids and an asshole ex-lover (is he really?) made their presence known to almost anyone

content warning: character-centric, mentions of questionable man, appearance of characters not yet shown in the series colour me your colour, toto wolff being canonically fashionable, use of explicit language, faceclaims used for the kids, danny is full on babygirl in the instagram comment section. f1 drivers being messy.

note: sorry for the awol guys, i was walking my fish. tomorrow is the start of the canadian gp 2023 and i am sad that i am not there. maybe next year when i have the money? or maybe when i work for pr. who knows. since i'm not there, i'm just celebrating and writing this.

ALSO!! should i do a blurb or something relating to lester babysitting the paddock kids- like the wolff kids? i've started on it but...

enjoy xx

[first image dialogue: i don't normally look at the time because i dress faster than this. i even dress ren and tia for less than seven minutes and they're always dressed nicely for their music classes]

[second image: if they're dressed ten minutes after, that's not my doing; toto dresses them and he struggles a lot. he mostly gets them ready if he's taking them to work or if i'm off to a meeting in milton keynes]

[third image: we've made a lot of trips to ralph lauren and tommy hilfiger because he thinks that he can just mix and match the clothes that we got there for the bunch. said it's a "capsule wardrobe." that's what happens when you're married to a fashion expert, i suppose.]

[fourth image: you'll be able to know if he dresses them once you see the jumper/dress shorts/trousers combo or the dress/jumper combo. you'll know he did the preparing if tia's hair is put in place with a hair clip. she loves it when her papa puts in barrettes in her thin hair.]

the hockey rpf post that broke containment has gone the round thru my beloved hockey rpf friends and is now being passed on to cool F1 rpf people, who keep typing tantalizing little tags like "haha i should put drivers in this one kebab shop near this track" or "i guess you could do the same with milton keynes". If I write milton keynes it's over for everyone. milton keynes was introduced to me as the most ridiculous bastion of middle class britain ever conceived. the south is so strange already, but the fact that everyone in motorsports probably thinks all of england is just Like That makes me stare out a window for 5-8 minutes. additionally i moved to england alone and sight-unseen as a teenager from a warm place with lots of megafauna at roughly the same time daniel ricciardo did and i WILL project wildly on the concept of going for a dawn run past dark pubs on the outskirts of somewhere, dodging a broken pint glass and looking at the swaying petunias and listening to 2012 pop and desperate desperate desperate to make something of yourself. any wa y.

Okay not sure you will like this pairing but Max/Lewis or 4433 🔀

If you hate this ship then consider Charlos please? 🙏🏼 Thanks and sorry

Courage, Villagers

Day 1

It’s Lewis and Max in the Milton Keynes Costco against the world.

Lewis probably would’ve picked, like. Anyone else, to be honest. But everyone else is gone, and now it’s just him and Max, racing around checking the perimeter of the Costco, making sure all the doorways are sealed.

They get the last one done—a fire door in the employee break room; they wedge several titanium kayak paddles through the push bar—and Max wipes the sweat from his forehead and says “That is pretty secure now, I think.”

As if in answer, there’s a meaty thunk against the exterior of the door, and then a sliding sound and a long groan from somewhere near the ground.

The door holds. Lewis and Max each let out a long breath.

“Look, man, I’m gonna crash,” Lewis says. “It’s 3am, I’m knackered.”

Max nods. He’s got his pinched press-conference face on. “Me too. I thought I would go to the garden furniture section, there is a big sofa there I saw.”

Typical. Lewis had his eye on that sofa. “Yeah, whatever,” he says. “Night.” He ends up in a water-free jacuzzi, which he fills with a bunch of feather pillows. His dreams are uneasy.

Day 2

They’ve figured out how to work the pizza ovens. Max is tucking into a slice of oozy, gooey pizza, while Lewis has: some nuts and dried fruit, and a granola bar.

To distract himself, he asks “How long do you reckon electricity lasts, after everyone is like. Dead or a zombie.”

Max looks at him, wide-eyed. His lips are greasy with cheese. “That is a good question,” he says. He gets his phone out and types something. “A few days at least,” he says through a mouthful of pizza. “Maybe weeks.” He keeps reading. “Actually I think none of these people know what they’re talking about, they are all just story writers.”

Great. Lewis eats another cashew.

Day 4

They invent Formula Trolley. The racetrack is the aisle that traverses the length of the shop, and there’s only one rule: get to the finish line with your trolley as fast as you can. Winner gets three points, and there’s a bonus point for Longest Coast.

“And through… comes… Hamilton!” Lewis crows, zooming along on his trolley. He wins, with metres to spare.

“Stewards!” Max calls. They’re both laughing, breathless. “Penalty! Driver 44 interfered with his trolley under parc fermé conditions.”

Lewis’s stomach actually hurts from laughing. It’s probably some kind of trauma response to the fact that they’re in a zombie apocalypse. He’s laughing so, so hard.

“Lewis?” Max is saying. “Lewis, are you…” He pats ineffectually at Lewis’s back. “It is ok,” he says. There’s a pause. “Actually it is not ok, everything is shit and we are probably doomed. I can—do you want me to get you one of those vegan chocolates?”

Day 9

The electricity goes out. 

It’s unnerving, being in the echoey bowels of the store with no light and no sound. The background hum of the industrial chillers is startling, now that it’s gone. 

They make a plan: the next morning at first light they’ll go out to reconnoitre the surrounding area and see if they can find any other survivors. And then they’ll… go from there. 

It’s admittedly not much of a plan, but it’s the best they’ve got.

They fill hiking backpacks with supplies: food, bottled water, camping blankets. They make weapons. Lewis ties a vicious-looking barbecue fork to the end of a curtain rod. Max makes a kind of flail out of a heavy stone garden gnome and some chain. They’re as ready as they’ll ever be.

Max hesitates, before he retires to the garden furniture section for the night. “Do you,” he says. He looks at Lewis, face unreadable. “It is our last night, and we might—we do not know how tomorrow is going to go, so. Do you want…?”

Lewis, somewhat to his surprise, does.

Wenn man die Schwerkraft mal braucht!

Am Montag komme ich nach einer Pause an den Schreibtisch zurück und der Laptop ist aus. Der Akku ist leer, weil das Ladekabel nicht drin war. Als ich es einstecke. höre ich seltsame Britzelgeräusche und dann bald gar nichts mehr. Der Laptop geht nicht wieder an.

Etwa eine Stunde früher habe ich beim Teeeingießen auf meinen Monitor geschaut und den Tee statt in die Tasse auf die Schreibtischplatte gegossen. Dass das überhaupt passieren konnte, liegt nur daran, dass ich seit ein paar Tagen nicht mehr im Liegen auf einem Sitzsack arbeite, sondern an einem Tisch, weil ich durch die Liegehaltung Knieschmerzen bekommen habe. Am Schreibtisch ist meine Arbeitshaltung noch unergonomischer, aber durch die Abwechslung plane ich meine Körperteile gleichmäßiger abzunutzen.

Der Tee hat sich auf der Schreibtischplatte ausgebreitet und ist unter den Laptop geflossen. Aber doch nur unter den Laptop, denke ich, der Laptop steht auf kleinen Gummifüßen, wie soll der Tee gegen die Schwerkraft in sein Inneres geflossen sein. Sicher liegt es an was anderem.

Ich recherchiere, teste verschiedene Ladegeräte und lese nach, dass beim Einstecken des Ladegeräts eine LED leuchten soll. Wenn sie nicht leuchtet, ist wahrscheinlich das Mainboard kaputt. Bei mir leuchtet nichts.

Ich schraube den Laptop auf und gucke rein. Die Lüftungsschlitze sind auf der Unterseite, und um dort hinzusehen, müsste ich das Mainboard rausnehmen. Das ist mir zu kompliziert, außerdem kann sowieso kein Tee im Laptop sein, wegen der Schwerkraft.

Nach einer Anleitung führe ich einen Mainboard-Reset durch. Danach geht es immer noch nicht.

Nachdem ich noch mehr recherchiert und an Kabeln gewackelt und "aber es KANN kein Tee drin sein" gesagt habe, suche ich die Framework-Anleitung zum Ausbau des Mainboards. Es ist eigentlich nicht schwierig, man muss nur vorsichtig sechs Verbindungen lösen und fünf Schrauben rausdrehen. Dann kann ich die Unterseite des Mainboards betrachten, und, naja, es ist nass. Außerdem gibt es da eine verschmurgelt aussehende Stelle.

Ich trockne das Mainboard ab und schließe es direkt ans Ladegerät an, das geht nämlich beim Framework. Jetzt sollten eigentlich ein oder zwei LEDs leuchten. Es leuchtet aber nichts.

Ich mache mich auf die Suche nach einem neuen Mainboard. Das ist erfreulich einfach. Ich kann erst nicht glauben, wie einfach, und muss es mir anderswo bestätigen lassen: Man kann jedes beliebige Mainboard einbauen, das es im Framework-Shop gibt, alte, neue, sie passen alle. Es ist, als könnte man eine passende Hose einfach noch mal kaufen! Ich nehme das billigste Mainboard, das immer noch sehr teuer ist, aber dafür irgendwie besser als mein voriges zu sein verspricht.

Mein Plan ist, es einzubauen und zu schauen, ob dann alles wieder geht. Wenn das nicht der Fall ist, muss ich leider auf die hervorragende Reparierbarkeit des Laptops verzichten und einen ganz neuen kaufen, so blöd das ist. Denn nach so einem Gebritzel könnte ja sonstwas kaputt sein, keine Ahnung, wie ich das diagnostizieren soll. Außerdem ist man mit den Einzelteilen sehr schnell über dem Gesamt-Neupreis.

Von Dienstag bis Samstagmittag arbeite ich am guten alten Chromebook, das sich zum Glück gerade im gleichen Haushalt befindet wie ich. Alle ein, zwei Stunden sehe ich im Paket-Tracking nach, wo mein Mainboard gerade ist.

Am Dienstag um 8 Uhr morgens wird es in Amsterdam abgeholt.

Um 2 Uhr nachmittags ist es in Milton Keynes.

Am Mittwoch um 2 Uhr nachmittags ist es wieder in Amsterdam.

Ein paar Stunden später ist es zum zweiten Mal in Milton Keynes und wird importiert ("International shipment release").

Am Donnerstag um zwei Uhr morgens wird es in Milton Keynes noch mal importiert.

Am Freitag um acht Uhr morgens macht es sich auf den Weg von Milton Keynes nach "Unknown".

Am Freitag um 11 Uhr abends noch mal.

Und am Samstag um 8 Uhr morgens noch mal.

Am Samstagmittag finde ich es unangekündigt im Fahrradschuppen.

Ich baue es ein und setze vorsichtig alles wieder zusammen: Lautsprecherverbindung, Audioboard-Verbindung, Verbindung zum Monitor, Verbindung zur Webcam, Verbindung zum WLAN-Modul, RAM einbauen, SSD einbauen, Verbindung zum Akku, Kabel zur Tastatur, fertig. Das klingt mühsam, ist aber wie Lego, nur mit kleineren Teilen. Am Ende bleibt nur eine einzige Schraube übrig.

Dann schalte ich den Laptop ein, und alles geht wieder. Sogar meine 239 Firefox-Tabs sind noch da. Ich fühle mich wie Matt Damon am Anfang von "The Martian", nachdem er sich selbst die Antenne aus dem Bauch operiert hat, und bin sehr zufrieden mit den Reparierbarkeitsversprechen von Framework. Gut, die Lüftungsschlitze müssten nicht unbedingt auf der Unterseite sein, wo Tee hineinlaufen kann, aber Mia Culpa wendet ein: "Ich glaube, es ist egal, wo die Lüfterschlitze sind, es wird immer eine Freak-Accident-Variante geben, durch die Tee hineinläuft. Und wenn es keine Lüftschlitze gäbe, läuft Ketchup durch die Tastatur, irgendwas ist immer."

Das ist leider wahr. Ich nehme mir vor, in Zukunft beim Eingießen von Tee immer hinzuschauen.
