📺 Ripley

Started slow. Continued slow. Finished Slow. And I loved it. The Black and White cinematography was superb. More in those grey tones than color could ever do. Have to say I was nervous of having a longer version of the film. No worries. Totally different.

Wondering if anyone saw this ‘post’ of mine from earlier this year.

(NO response at the time 🥺 - but if you have ‘replies turned off - it would have gone straight by you.)

Been bouncing around since then - and I keep coming back to 🔗 Daylite - a Mac only app - BUT seems to be very powerful. Finally took a dip into their 2 week trial - and talking next week - but anybody got any thoughts, comments, thumbs up and down »> other than thePRICE $$$$ - yeah - now I recall why I didn’t commit - but then if it stops me spending time in twiddling with stuff - maybe?

Have I mentioned before that I like 🔗 🎙️ Rob Long’s Martini Shot, short entertaining, great story telling about the entertainment business - and ties back into broader business - this one feature Karl Lagerfeld. My take? We all have a ‘little Karl’ in us.

Remember all that kerfuffle about Apple and Beeper - well - as reported just this week Automattic just bought Beeper - which personally I thought was a GREAT move. Even greater - in the same week Beeper launched their new app!

Installed - and ready - because even without iMessages - I still have a Unified Inbox for everything else.

And - not that anybody is watching me - but why this article should pop into the stream today - I have no idea - but it’s all about those other Beepers!

🔗 The Forgotten War on Beepers - by Louis Anslow

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

Two pieces that in some ways seem to contradict each other and themselves - even down to one being quite serious and the other with more humor.

🔗 Fergie Chambers Is Heir to One of America’s Richest Families and Determined to See the U.S. Fall. (Readwise with Highlights)

… 🔗 The original Rolling Stone Link)

and

🔗 America is too Lazy for a Second Civil War (Readwise with Highlights)

… 🔗 The original Sam Colt Link

That said, you can read both and wonder where you fit on the spectrum, because to me it is not altogether clear.

🔗 Sydney to Melbourne. Really?

If anyone feels inspired to pop over to 🔗 this page on LinkedIN that I just made public, it is the very early beginnings of our new initiative ‘The Future Found’. More will be forthcoming.

🔗 A Failed Rock Adaption of Dune Might Have Starred Mick Jagger, Orson Welles & Salvador Dalí (with Music by Pink Floyd)

.. personally, I see this as one of the world’s great successes - how near were we I wonder?

🔗 108 companies, graded from most to least racist.

It’s a start, but I wouldn’t take it as absolute - to me the more interesting info is in the footnote ..

NOTE: The companies listed in black are federal contractors. The companies in gray aren’t.

The sheer number of contractors ‘in black’ could surely be reduced by a little more vigilance in the government to at least reduce that number - maybe others will then follow?
