🔗 Scripting News: Is Bluesky on the web?
But it doesn’t work the other way. They love it when you send people to their site, but not so much if you want to send them away. Sending people away is a sensitive concept to Bluesky’s investors. Why would you do that? This is not a new point where the web and silos disagree. The web says “let them go” and the silos ask “do we look like idiots?”

I am clearly missing the nuance here.

Question
What is not happening?
🖋️ Caveat - Not My Words ...
… but there for the grace of whatever power you hold true - do we all go. Sometime sooner. Sometimes very much later. But go we do. Few have the power to control ‘when’.

🖋️ The Myth of Maslow
I’ve always taken the 5 levels to be more a series of ongoing processes .. not necessarily that you achieve them … more to reflect the focus at a moment in time .. also the triangle pinnacle is misleading in that the work going on in there is likely inversely proportional to the shape’s area … and finally you are almost constantly working on multiple levels at the same time.
But that’s my take - might not be what Abraham meant?
🖋️ They Buried Smiths. Now They Might Have To Bury TG Jones
The rebranding of WH Smith to TG Jones led to large and rapid declines in revenue - which means that the buyer of the brand did not actually undersatand what they were buying.
Meanwhile - over on 🔗 Blusky
Before ATmosphere
After ATmosphere
No doubt the old one is too overpowering and ‘all logo’ - no message. BUT - not a fan of the new one either.
🏗️ Need to find where that layout can be changed.
Unclear if for the long haul - but while I am rebuilding my blog - before I finish rebuilding my site - before I revamp my wiki, I have been adding occasional comments about the ’trials and tribulations’ of same.

Crucial Track 🎵 June 1, 2026
"Can't Take My Eyes Off of You (Live)" by Andy Williams
Why Andy's version? Because 'mum' - who was not a particular fan of Andy - but we all liked it and it sticks in my mind - because of mum's reaction ....
Off of you? It's off you ... off you why can't they speak English.
It was a different time😏.
Side Note - Frankie's 'original had no 'of' - even though 'the two bobs' wrote 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' ... so why the change? Some say that 'Off of' helps the song's rhythm, I would agree.
In these modern times it appears that both are acceptable phrasing. Back then - I think my mum saw it as the ever deepening crisis of the Americanisation of the English language. Oh my - what would she make of 2026?
