#Bernie hindsight 2020 driver#

Perhaps the biggest show of confidence in his unwavering ability was Aston Martin’s decision to hand him a two-year contract. Alonso also once held the record for the most number of points scored before being overtaken by Vettel and Lewis Hamilton.

#Bernie hindsight 2020 driver#

He passed Kimi Raikkonen for the number of laps led earlier this season and is on course to beat the same man to become the driver who has finished the most grands prix. The list of records he possesses is also set to grow. He has all the craft and experience built over his 20-year career but has lost none of the reactions and speed that being a top-level F1 driver demands. What is remarkable about Alonso is he is racing like someone a decade younger. Replacing a man six years younger than him, Alonso’s immediate future in the sport is secured with his arrival at Aston Martin in the place of Sebastian Vettel on a two-year contract. His time in the sport does not look like it is coming to an end anytime soon either. Now the oldest current driver on the grid by a good three and a half years, he made his debut in the sport at a time when Yuki Tsunoda was learning to talk. “So in a way, I feel more in control of things now.” 41 years old and still going strong, Fernando Alonso has proven age is just a numberįor a man who has sometimes had a penchant of making less-than-wise career moves, Alonso has become the king of longevity. It’s not that they are applicable to an F1 car, but when you lose the car, you have an oversteer, maybe my hands and my feet are doing something that I didn’t know before, because I was just driving F1 cars. “There are different philosophies of racing, different driving techniques. And also the different categories that I drove: I think they teach me different things. “It’s not only your own cockpit and your own strategy, so maybe I have a better understanding of how the race develops. “I think watching races from the outside, you don’t understand sometimes different things and different behaviours of the race, looking from the outside and looking at 360 degrees,” the Spaniard said. Or it’s just a different approach that I have now.”Īlonso said he had also gained a better understanding of how a race develops and his experience in different categories has improved him as a driver. So I don’t know if it is just those two years that helped me out. “Maybe in 2018, I felt that I was exhausted mentally by all the marketing and traveling and things like that. “In terms of the downsides, it’s difficult to say anything because I don’t feel that I’m missing anything that I had when I was younger,” he told when asked if his age had any negatives. Looking back, Alonso believes that time away may have helped him as an F1 driver as it rejuvenated him after having become “mentally exhausted.” Since then, he has looked a man revitalised and despite now being 41 years of age, has not lost any of his old pace. He would retire citing a lack of competition in the sport and spent two years out before retuning with Alpine in 2021. At the same time, he was becoming increasingly disillusioned with the sport as a whole. He joined at one of the worst points in McLaren’s history when the team was on a downward trajectory and had a car that was going nowhere fast.Īlonso would go on to stay at McLaren until the end of 2018, but his frustration with engine supplier Honda grew to the point where he was making public digs at the Japanese firm, and he became increasingly annoyed at the team’s focus on the next season. The Spaniard returned to McLaren in 2015 having spent one season there in 2007, but this second stint with the team proved to be anything but successful. Fernando Alonso said he was “mentally exhausted” following his second spell at McLaren but thinks his break has now made him a better driver.

Bernie hindsight 2020

It’s a goal that should unite New Yorkers of all stripes. The goal should be not just holding people responsible for the mistakes that were made, but also learning from them. Understanding what went wrong in those early months – and bolstering the state’s defenses against future pandemics – ought to be a top priority in Albany. As led by Governor Cuomo for the past decade, the state’s public health infrastructure proved to be underprepared, ill-equipped and fatefully slow to act in a burgeoning crisis. When the system stumbles, as it did in 2020, the consequences can be catastrophic. When it works well, the public health system quietly saves lives on a large scale by preventing diseases from spreading instead of treating people after they get sick. It consists largely of scientists in government agencies rather than clinicians in hospitals. In February 2020, the state’s first line of defense against the virus should have been its public health system – the branch of health care focused on caring for large populations rather than treating individual patients. The challenge for leaders today is to properly benefit from that hard-won hindsight. With the benefit of hindsight is it clear that waiting was a massive mistake. Had officials taken stronger preventive measures back then, they might have contained the outbreak before it spiraled out of control, killed more than 53,000 New Yorkers, threw millions out of work and disrupted normal life for more than a year.īased on the limited information available to them at the time, the state’s leaders misjudged the scale of what New York faced. The state missed its best chance to save lives not in March or April, when infections soared and hospitals filled up, but in early February, when the virus arrived and started spreading before anyone noticed. One lesson deserves more attention from Albany: The public health system matters. Better-controlled outbreaks in countries such as South Korea demonstrate the value of public health preparedness and could serve as a model for New York.Īs New York emerges from the worst pandemic in a century, its citizens face a new threat to their lives and economic well-being – the danger that their leaders will fail to learn from a painful experience.To date, none of the Legislature’s pandemic-related hearings has focused on the critical missteps of the state’s early response.The state’s early response was undermined by flawed guidance from the federal government, inadequate planning and stockpiling, limited consultation with experts, exaggerated projections and poor cooperation between federal, state and local officials, among other issues.In the three weeks between New York’s first positive test and the governor’s lockdown order, the statewide caseload mushroomed from an estimated 40,000 to 1 million – which was likely the peak of the first wave of infections.When the state’s first COVID-19 case was formally confirmed on March 1, officials underestimated how far it had already spread and reacted slowly and ineffectively – delays that would contribute to the high death toll.Officials failed to heed warning signs, such as an early March spike in flu-like illness in New York City emergency rooms.Although outbreaks in China and Europe had signaled the danger to come, New York officials initially discouraged the public from taking precautions.The state’s outbreak likely began in early February but spread undetected for weeks because of problems with CDC-produced test kits.In the decade leading into 2020, state lawmakers reduced funding and staff for public health while putting more resources into Medicaid.In terms of speed and deadliness, New York’s novel coronavirus pandemic ranks among the worst in the world.

Do you feel up to a rant on “the Democratic electorate needs to be wooed and courted and herded like cats every single time.” I don’t really understand this but would like to.

I have written several posts on this issue, most or all of which should be in my politics for ts tag. The information I just reblogged about the California gubernatorial recall election is another unfortunate example: according to a LA Times poll cited in the article, over three-quarters of registered CA Republicans are definitely going to vote, compared to under half of registered CA Democrats who said the same. Thanks to CA's insane recall election rules, that could put a fringe hard-right Trumpist in charge of America's bluest and most populous state, with possibly the ability to flip the Senate back to GOP control if Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein (who is 88) dies or is otherwise incapacitated before the 2022 elections. A GOP governor will then appoint her replacement, and while he (because let's be real, it WOULD be a he) would have to run again in 2022 and probably be beaten by a regular Democrat, it would be a huge blow in the meantime. Not to mention all the other stupid COVID policies that a hard-right wingnut could inflict on California until then.

We also saw this extensively in the 2016 and 2020 primaries, where certain Bernie Sanders supporters were willing to support him and ONLY him as the Democratic nominee (regardless of the fact that Sanders isn't even a Democrat, he sits in the Senate as an independent) and spent all their time viciously trashing the rest of the Democratic field and refusing to vote for anyone who should supplant him. That cost us the election in 2016, and we're lucky that it didn't do the same in 2020. I supported Elizabeth Warren in the primaries, but I said from the beginning that I would vote for whatever sentient potted cactus got the Democratic nomination, and I did. Joe Biden was not my first, second, third, fourth, etc choice for the nomination, but in hindsight, seeing the massive pro-Trump turnout that cost us a lot of the Senate seats we were hoping to pick up for the Democrats, I honestly think an old white man with a reputation as a centrist is the only candidate who could have possibly beaten the Orange One (and the margins in the key states were all heart-attackingly close, under 100k votes in each). And Biden, despite being a flawed candidate who has made a flawed president, is still governing from a decidedly progressive perspective! The American Rescue Plan alone was one of the biggest pro-working-class pieces of legislation in generations (especially if they can make the child tax credit permanent).

Anyway, the point is, certain Democratic voters refuse to vote, or don't think it's important enough to vote, or proclaim that they will only vote for one candidate, or that it's "immoral" to vote for a flawed Democratic establishment politician instead of their latest socialist Twitter messiah (even if establishment politicians know, y'know, how to actually get things done). In short, they see it as an unacceptable compromise to take anything less than what they supposedly want, and that means that Republicans (who reliably turn out and vote in a lockstep bloc for their guy) have a built-in advantage when it comes to winning elections, even before the raft of voter suppression laws they're passing to help themselves out, and even if the Republican Party as a whole is less popular in America than ever. They just have to gerrymander the right districts and get one more vote than the other guy, and they routinely benefit from self-inflicted Democratic voter apathy in maintaining tyrannical minority rule.

Anyway. If you're a California Democrat, please vote to keep Newsom in office. If you're an American Democrat, just vote, period, in whatever election rolls along (especially the 2022 midterms). Please.

When the Timeline Split

2016 was a crazy year. 

My perspective on it, like anyone else’s, is colored and clouded by my own experiences, like the personal tragedy of an unexpected job loss. Things had been strange and bad in the world before, of course, an ebb and flow of tragedy. But four years ago, somehow the world shifted cataclysmically, irrevocably, into a dark new timeline. 

I remember early in the election assuming that the race would come between Hilary Clinton and Jeb Bush. I was not thrilled at the prospect. I was researching other candidates, taking the quiz I have relied on for previous elections, and discovered Bernie Sanders -- someone whose ideals aligned almost perfectly with my own, something I’d never seen before in a candidate. I didn’t know that “Democratic Socialist” was an option, but that sure as hell described me. 

And for a brief while, it looked like he might win. 

I remember the Idaho caucus. I remember the, “Holy shit, this could actually happen!” feeling. I indulged myself in imagining a future where all of the things I cared about were addressed -- socialized healthcare, student debt forgiveness and free education, green new deal, tax on the wealthy. 

It was the last time I have felt true and genuine hope. More than four years ago, today, was the last time I thought about the future and imagined it could be good. 

Donald Trump seemed like a joke candidate at first. Good for a laugh. Good for a meme. 

I remember the exact moment that changed for me. I was at the gym, a 6am workout before my commute. The news was on, the television above the treadmill, some morning show where they were talking ad nauseum about whatever new impropriety Trump had done. I thought: Holy shit, the media is going to hand this man the election. They cannot help themselves. He’s like catnip to them. They’re giving him all the free publicity in the world and he’s going to win because of it. 

And, of course, that’s exactly what happened. 

A rash of celebrities died in 2016: Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Gene Wilder, Prince, Ron Glass, Glen Frey -- many others besides. 

It became something of a dark joke. When Glen Frey died, everyone was posting "Hotel California" on social media in tribute. I was irritated (couldn't they have used one of the Eagles songs that Frey actually sang? "Take It Easy"? "Tequila Sunrise"? Come ON!). My best friend and coworker, who shared two hours of commute with me every day, decided that "Hotel California" was simply The Song You Played when a celebrity died. We played it with gentle irony for every celebrity death, even Fidel Castro. 

The celebrity deaths set a strange, grim tone for the year. We joked: They’re leaving before things get any worse. Eventually, we started to believe it. 

Mass shootings were reported seemingly every week, but all of them were dwarfed by then-record-breaking 49 deaths in Pulse Night Club, a hate crime of unfathomable size. 

But perhaps more than anything, 2016 was weird. 

Pepe the Frog, a cartoonish internet meme, became a Nazi dogwhistle. 

Bernie Sanders became an unwitting meme lord, probably with the help of 4chan trolls and Russian hackers. 

People reported sightings of scary clowns all over the country. 

Liberal friends started fighting each other out in the open on social media, and sometimes in person, during the most divisive primary election I’ve ever witnessed. 

The internet filled with conspiracy theories about Russia and Iran and inevitable war. 

“This is Fine Dog” became the rallying symbol of the year for many -- a dog cheerfully ignoring the room on fire around him. 

On May 28, 2016, a silverback gorilla named Harambe was fatally shot in a zoo after a child got into his enclosure. There was a brief ripple of genuine controversy surrounding the zookeeper’s decision. Some misanthropes wondered whether the life of a human was, necessarily, always more valuable than the life of an endangered gorilla. Fueled almost certainly by racism and the ironic edgelord culture of the internet, Harambe became a meme -- Justice for Harambe! Dicks out for Harambe! 

Given the backdrop of Black Lives Matter protests that had already been taking place across the country, and the ongoing murder of black people by police, it seems self-evident that the Harambe meme was a racist dogwhistle. Not everyone who shared it was probably aware of that -- but it had a meanness there at its center, a cruelty, the hint of a dark equivocation between a 17-year-old gorilla and, say, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. 

In hindsight, for me, I think Harambe’s death was the moment when something in the fabric of our social reality snapped. 

Nothing so fully encapsulates the exact tenor of modern discourse -- irreverent, nihilistic, performative, and absurd. 

Of course the society that joked about a dead gorilla would elect Donald Trump as president. 

Today is May 28, 2020. Four years to the day since Harambe. 

Today is the third day of nationwide riots and looting as black communities protest the death of George Floyd, who was pinned by the neck to the ground for seven minutes by a police officer, while other officers looked on. Floyd’s abuse and death were captured on video, but the police have not been charged with any crime. 

Years of peaceful protest have amounted to nothing, and so things have reached a fever pitch. As we speak, a police precinct in Minneapolis is on fire. 

It is May 28, 2020, and 100,000 Americans have died from a global pandemic.  40 million people are out of work. The country was brought to a halt, shutting down helter-skelter in an attempt to keep people safe, and no long-term plan was enacted during that period for re-opening. People return to work now, putting themselves in danger. 

The president refuses to acknowledge these deaths in any meaningful way. He complains, instead, that this pandemic is unfairly hurting his campaign. He claims that no one has been treated more unfairly. 

Black people make up 13% of the population but represent 25% of deaths from the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Today is May 28, 2020, in the midst of the deadliest pandemic in a century, with nationwide protests and riots, and President Donald Trump signed an executive order to threaten social media, because Twitter put a “fact check” link beneath one of his tweets.

THE GHOST OF PETER SELLERS (2020)

Featuring Peter Medak, Simon van der Borgh, John Heyman, Joe Dunne, Norma Farnes, Susan Wood, John Goldstone, David Korda, Ruth Myers, Joe McGrath, Victoria Sellers, Deke Heyward, Piers Haggard, Costas Evagorou, Murray Melvin, Clive Revill, Costas Demetriou, Tony Greenburch, Robert Wagner, Sanford Lieberson, Maggie Abbott, Rita Franciosa, Antony Rufus Isaacs, Danton Rissner, Denis Fraser, Michael Stevenson, Rita Thiel, Kostas Dimitriou, Robin Dalton, Tony Christodoulou, Lorenzo Berni, Rene Borisewitz, Tony Greenberg, Susan Wood and archival footage of Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Liza Minnelli and Tony Franciosa.

Directed by Peter Medak.

Distributed by 1091. 93 minutes. Not Rated.

It’s been 47 years since the filming of the infamous flop Ghost in the Noon Day Sun, starring Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan. Director Peter Medak has been grieving and moving through a guilt cycle ever since, perhaps even more so after Sellers death in 1980. After all, as the director, Medak was responsible for the production from soup to nuts. In The Ghost of Peter Sellers, Medak captures his attempt to reconcile regret and gain some closure, decades after making this “nightmare” of a film.

Ghost in the Noon Day Sun, hoped to be an unsinkable comedic hit, was doomed from day one of shooting, when the secondhand rehabbed pirate ship crashed into Cyprus’ rocky coast and began to sink. In retrospect, this is easily a sign of portent, if lead actor Peter Sellers’ break up with Liza Minelli before the script was finalized wasn’t enough of a harbinger of doom.

As Peter Medak paints the tale, hindsight portrays a laundry list of issues, one after another, each more horrifying than the next. Each is corroborated in interviews with the peripheral players – Peter Sellers’ agent, Spike Milligan’s agent, Tony Franciosa’s wife at the time of filming. Producer John Heyman was involved in the production and spoke these very chilling words: “The film never should have been made.”

Does this sound like a downer? It’s not.

It’s a jaw-dropping hash out of the untold 67 days of shooting as told by director Peter Medak – director of 28 films and 59 television shows – clearly not a novice film maker. And without question, a thorough record keeper of his own right.

So, why reopen his collection of letters – including Heyman’s letter at the end of week one telling Medak that he was in danger of being replaced if things didn’t shape up after complaints from the sabotaging Sellers?

Throughout The Ghost of Peter Sellers, Medak is asked the question of Why? Why now? Why look back on a period that is over and done? Why relive the pain?

His response does not come easily.

As a documentary, this film is pure cinematographic magic – filled with photo stills and rare footage from the filming of Ghost in the Noon Day Sun as well as other works in the accomplished cast and crew history. The music is captivating and a perfect match to the content. Altogether, the film captures the beauty and horror of a project doomed from the start. It was then left to die, leaving the cast and crew in its wake.

While the final piece was completed, it was killed before reaching the theaters. On a Google search, you can only purchase a DVD for a region unplayable by US machines. (There was a brief VHS release about a decade after the film was made, and later a brief DVD release, but both are long off the market.) On further search, there is a six-minute compilation of scenes on YouTube that highlights some of the better moments of this idiotic film.

In the end, Ghost in the Noon Day Sun was a hard-earned mess of a film, but The Ghost of Peter Sellers is a lovely finish to it all. I feel like Medak got the closure that he desired. As a viewer, I loved every painful minute of it.
