Saw it a couple of nights ago … and gave it the worst movie ever award …
To be fair others did like it - but nobody even thought it worth a nomination .. much less a win .. in any category.
5 wins out of 6 nominations?
Seriously?
I know the world’s gone mad … but really?
At one point in 🖇️ Zero Day, De Niro talks about Freedom and Liberty.

(Problem, because 20 images in a collection resulted in those 20 images appearing at the bottom of all the posts that featured the collection which I felt was overwhelming. Not anymore.

Next job … Have the scroll sometimes display square images - and sometimes landscape / portrait.
🖇️ Should We Cry For Argentina? … my latest newsletter if you are interested. A bit different to my usual newsletter themes.
I was thinking of posting a quick response analysis of 🖇️ this post from yesterday - but not yet.
Fresh into the feed today - Doc on the difference between 🔗 Blocking Tracking and Blocking Ads
Its amazing how after all this time they are still conflated (I think mainly because it suits the advertisers dialogue- and ‘ad blockers’ rolls off the tongue better than ‘tracker blockers’)
🖇️ Re this - fixed. It seems that I am definitely am all over the place on movie watching.
🖇️ How to Achieve Immortality - Ted Gioia
In ancient times, you attained immortality by doing great deeds. Today you attain immortality by getting blood transfusions from teenagers, and freezing your body for later revival. Needless to say, there’s a huge difference between these two strategies.
Too True Ted. Too True.
