The Bluestocking: On Writing - by Helen Lewis
… for those that enjoy writing reminders / rules / guidance / advice …
440: Michael Lewis, parrot racists and Trump’s ballroom
Look, said Bale eventually, he breathes in the wrong places.
.. It’s the little things you notice that deliver the big things.
Once again I’m reminded that I, and we all, have only one shot at this life. That striving to achieve all that we love, value, and fills our hearts and our time with joy, is the only battle truly worth fighting. And that living with regret and fear, simply isn’t living at all. … Thankyou @pjmoore
🏗️👁️ Fixed - and a prime example why I shouldn’t have access to my server code. On the 26th i streamlined my htaccess file - completely forgetting that my 🖇️ philpin.com home page is not at root and actually in its own folder - all its glory is once more revealed.
(I use ‘glory’ in the loosest possible sense.)
Bugger … and I just set mine up yesterday. Please publish faster Kev.

The Gig Economy Is Task Driven.
The Future Of Work Is Not.
Continuing To Iterate My Thoughts On Human Value for Inktober.
Remember the gig economy kids?
The Gig Economy Is Task Driven - The Future Of Work Is Not.
AI is taking over the gig economy. Humans who aren’t ‘task driven’ have to work out how we fit it in.
Should be the other way round. The AI should be trying to work out how it fits in.
Instead at every turn I feel I’m being ‘mansplained’ to by the tech bros and their machines.
// oh wait …
🔗 Rethinking Organizational Design.
Needs more than a rethink, but part of my ‘drum band’
AKA
‘The Age of Reason’ is over - let’s move on to ‘The Age of Engagement’.
… not by replacing tech stacks with other stuff - but applying new and better thinking about how we use the ones we’ve got.

.. found via @gruber (TOH: Jason Snell).
Nowhere in the article or in JG’s short post is the idea of ‘typo’ introduced - but Jason did in his headline:
But it’s not a typo I thought. WRONG
Whilst it is true that by 🔗 Merriam Webster’s definition it is not a typo:
an error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material
.. no apparent reference to ‘layout’ errors) … BUT - elsewhere on the web I found
Typographic vs. Orthographic Error: In strict design terms, an orthographic error is a spelling mistake (like writing “Discovry”). A typographical error historically meant any physical layout blunder made by a typographer or typesetting machine–including inserting a letter upside down, backwards, or in the wrong font.
Good call Jason.
