24th January, 2020.
I have to admit, I am seriously angry, right at the moment.
Up until yesterday?
I had a monetised YouTube channel.
In other words?
I had a channel that was earning ad revenue.
Until, this morning?
I didn’t …
YouTube’s decided to demonetise me …
Apparently?
I have too much reused content.
I’m guessing … that that means the various film and TV show clips … clips that I’m slowly removing from my channel.
But of course, the email I could have used to email YouTube, to ask what videos to take down … ?
Is out of reach.
It’s for Youtube partners, only.
In the meantime … ? I’m going to have to do a lot of pruning.
~≈†≈~
Whilst I’m doing that … ?
Whilst I’m sorting that lot out … or, at least, as a break from sorting that out … ?
I felt it was time for some TV …
No: I’m not going to be catching Star Trek: Picard, just yet.

Episode 3 — Nixon’s Women — opens a few years before the main story starts: with the meeting of Gordo (Michael Dorman) and his wife, Tracy (Sarah Jones): when they meet at a training airfield.
And moves on: showing us Deke Slayton and Gene Kranz (Chris Bauer and Eric Ladin, respectively) in a meeting with a senior general who wants to know why a potential moonbase will take so many years to build.
A meeting the gets interrupted by presidential aides, who are equally insistent the president’s latest orders are followed fast.
President Nixon … ? Wants to see a blonde on the Moon.

Which is when the fun really starts.
NASA?
Has to recruit twenty women to train up as astronauts.
Then train them …
Then … ?
Then train some more: until the final five candidates come up against …
The bedstead …
That … ?
Is make or break time …
~≈†≈~
Now …
Apple’s done it again: at least with this episode.
Nixon’s Women gives us a good old fashioned competition.
One that’s got a small group competing to win the prize of being American woman in space …
Only for one to be tragically lost at the end of the episode.
Frankly?
I’m maintain what I said, when I first wrote about For All Mankind.
These opening episodes are very watchable.
Star Trek: Picard can wait, for the moment: For All Mankind has my attention …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
