Today’s Surprise From History - 🖇️ Brexit Explained … 😂
On Bluesky: I can’t tell you how tired I am of copying and pasting the same text into five different silos. When will this ridiculous system that claims to be the web, get its shit together and start acting like the web (ie interop). #
This is one reason I use 🔗 Micro.Blog for 🖇️John.Philpin.com

I like Ben’s approach to ‘Resolutions’ : 🔗 A 2026 checklist - not least because 🔗 the usual approach is more often than not going to fail.

All this comes to mind as I watch the emerging BBC/Trump case.

🖇️ Yesterday’s was the hardest to date. Looks like today’s is the easiest - at least so far.
Remember when we so concerned that all our ‘house data’ from Roomba was being sent over to Google - without so much as a ‘by-your-leave’.
