👁️ You forget all the funny little things you do to get all this stuff going. Eight days later - and we are finally back. I think.
👁️ Is that really right? Wonder what war he’s talking about? And how he thinks it will be fought?
👁️ Only ever passed by Arcadia - might have paid more attention had I known it was an outpost of a Chinese spy ring.

"Kayleigh" by Marillion
Always enjoyed the song. Never a massive fan of the band - but definitely a fan - all the way back to the days when some were heralding him as the 'new' Peter Gabriel ... I got it - but really he was just plain old Derek William Dick doing his thing - and his thing was rather good.
Oh - and that's Kayleigh - not Cèilidh.

🪁: Isn’t a ‘Blue Sky’ in the ATmosphere - not ‘on'❓
Still an experiment - I mean how many of these things do we need? And it seems to need a lot of clicks to get where I wanted to be .. Jury very much out - but I will try adding it to my sources.
🪁 Isn’t a ‘Blue Sky’ in the ATmosphere - not ‘on‘❓
🪁 A Title To Start ...
... when you don't know
where you are going
how it will end
what it's about
how long it will be
I don't know - seems all arse about face to me.
But sure - lets see where this cart is heading.
I watched 🔗📺 Resident Alien a while back now. So good. So funny … a modern day Third Rock? (Another great show.) Netflix has only got Seasons 1 and 2 - so that is probably all I watched - and no - not signing up for Peacock - but when S3 and S4 arrive - count me in.
Side note - really annoying for streaming services to only drop a sub set of a series.
🖇️ Brokenwood is another one they have done that with. 🚧
🎬 Not sure if this one has been hiding or if it just arrived on Netflix. But - added to queue and on the cards for tonight.
🔗 The Fediverse is not a product. It’s time to get real about marketing.
Ben’s not wrong - but for whatever reason - ‘same as it ever was’. It’s called Marketing. And Marketing is generally not - or maybe ‘mis’ - understood by the community - sometimes even rejected because it is … And of course ‘budget’.
Is this worth a conversation?

For me, what made this different is the naming of everyone in it. 🔗 That is one hell of a band!

"Parklife" by Blur
I am pretty much 'in' on all things Blur - so hard to choose a specific. Settled on it because it is just a year earlier than yesterday's - but for me inexorably linked.
📺 Just finished Legends .. based on a true story it says - and seemingly not wrong according to 🔗The Radio Times Not half bad - with ‘Alan Partridge’ playing the boss - straight down the middle. That said - a lot of the full story definitely not in the show. Future series? 🚧
I’ve hesitated at calling FeedLand a feed reader.
💬 Dave Winer
🔗 Read his post - I know what @dave means - one of the ‘category design’ conundrums.
Use a category name that everybody understands - or at least ‘thinks they do’ - and you are one of many - competing with all. Use a new name - and forever be answering ‘what’s that then’?
Wrestling with exactly that with a product we are beginning to roll. #StillThinking #NotCommitted

Not in the cartoon ….
This is what is meant when AI Alignment researchers refer to “PhD-Level Intelligence.”
💬 Zach Weinersmith
… it’s his usual additional punchline - with emphasis on ‘punch’ today.
🔗 Day 3: Einstein Made Us A Loaf - LLBBL Blog
Philosophers Hilary Putnam and C.W. Rietdijk worked this out in the 1960s. Their argument, roughly: if my “now” overlaps with your “now,” and your “now” overlaps with someone else’s, and that someone else’s “now” overlaps with an event in my future, then by transitivity that future event exists right now. Not metaphorically. Actually exists.

A paywalled Atlantic piece - but not paywalled on the Wayback machine: 🔗 The Lure of a Fully Randomized Life
When I first learned about Max’s experiment, I thought he had found a convenient way to dodge taking responsibility for his decisions. Sorry, the computer made me do it. But I came to see that no matter where the algorithm sent him, Max had cultivated an admirable equanimity about where he ended up. He’d traded the security of knowing exactly where he was going for the serenity of being present wherever he arrived.
💬 Simone Stolzoff
The whole piece reminded me of 🖇️ The Diceman
Read - a long time ago - 📚The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart. I recall it as a great read, but I couldn’t truly commit to that - it was a different time. BUT - I often reference it - so it clearly had impact. Would certainly ‘give it a whirl’.
