    • POLL: Boaty McBoatface is dead. Long live Boaty McBoatface.

    Forget about all the posturing going on in the Presidential primaries. There is real disenfranchisement taking place in the United Kingdom.

    Boaty McBoatface: Tyrants have crushed the people’s will

    Boaty McBoatface was too beautiful to live. He was a rare and precious flower, simply not cut out for these ugly times. We created Boaty McBoatface. We created him after our own image, in a rush of optimism, deluding ourselves that he was ever worth a damn. Boaty McBoatface was a perfect idea in an imperfect world. He was all that we were not. He was strong. He was resolute. Truly, he was Boaty McBoatface.

    Boaty McBoatface is dead. The government killed him.

    Democracy died today.

    If you haven’t been following the story, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) in the UK set up an online poll to name its new polar research vessel.
