🔗 WWW
There are a lot of links out to different parts of the web on this site. I try to mark them all so they get listed here.
My answer is not theirs … and i guess i was wrong given the last phrase …“to the left-hand side:”
That said - I rather like my solution …
📺🔗 The Lincoln Lawyer - series 4 - ✅
I will need to return to finish - but in a nutshell - well worth a watch, but make sure you go through the first three before you start - it will add to your enjoyment.
★★★★
🔗📼 Martin Gutmann: Are we celebrating the wrong leaders?
Spoiler Alert. Yes - but that’s not an excuse not to watch it.
Charity Is Doomed To Fail argues that traditional charity reacts to symptoms instead of addressing causes of issues like trafficking. The author calls for a proactive, well-funded, business-driven approach as embodied by The Future Found, highlighting Dan Pallotta’s point that new thinking, capital, and strategy are needed for real change - shifting from reactive aid to tackling root problems at scale.
💬 Sadly - unknown - so far
I need to go find the source, because someone talking about Dan Pallotta in the same breath as 🔗 The Future Found is definitely someone I need to talk to.
📺🔗 A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 1 ★★★
A total surprise and some great twists.
Once again - will return for the formal rating.
📺 I saw this promoted, checked out the trailer and realised I had watched it.
That is how memorable this show is … ★
Twelve years ago - 🔗📼🎵 I was there. Love you man.
🖋️ I think it might be who you hang out with
Brit here - and though Björk does not sit at the top of my favourite artists - she certainly is no where near the bottom and I do not recall that particular refrain ever being that common - which might explain her Wikipedia entry.
🔗 LLCs essentially create a precedent for AIs
Companies can own property, sign contracts, sue, be sued, spend money, and shape elections. But companies cannot be killed nor can they go to jail. They have many of the rights of people. They are not people.

I guess Mitt forgot to tell us that?
📸🍎 The 🔗 LinkedIN post remains' meh' - BUT - I did like the associated image
Yes - yes - I did watch 📺🔗 Pluribus Season 1 .. finally - I mean it’s not a loser, but truly have a hard time understanding what everybody was raving about.
★★★
A question of understanding - because when I first read this post - I was attempting to reconcile zip (as in zip code) with ‘incompatible’ - confused because I had never heard of such a thing. As I am shuffling out my Drafts it dawned on me - of course - he’s talking Zip formats. 🤦🏼♂️
🔗 Why Is Everything Proprietary These Days?
how the fuck can a ZIP be incompatible??
💬 Kev Quirk
Watched - all 8 Homelands. Not in a binge I hasten to add and actually not too shabby - although Claire Danes does seem to act with 4 or 5 expressions to cover all eventualities. Suspension of belief is - as always with such shows - necessary. For all of that ★★★
This from the end of March and only posting now as I am playing around with the Drafts MCP from @agiletotoise and discovering a few ‘lost in the stream’ drafts.
🔗 More Magic Math from OpenAI?
The real product here is not AI. It is an IPO prospectus.
💬 Om
Irony is dead.

I love that the dickpanel is titled “We value your privacy” and then begins with the sentence, “With your agreement, we and our 399 partners use cookies or similar technologies to store, access, and process personal data like your visit on this website, IP addresses and cookie identifiers.”

🔗 Wired on the Dark Mood Inside Meta
Unanswered remains my question from earlier this week: is MCI installed on Bosworth’s computer too? (And Zuck’s?)
💬 John Gruber
Given that Zuck keeps sticky tape over his computer camera - I am going to go with no.
Not so much the article (🔗 1Password is stepping on the rake again)
.. as his close 😂
Please note: If you have come here to recommend a different password manager, I implore you to not do that, as I just do not care. This is what I did. If something else works for you, good for you. Write it up on your own blog.
💬 Jamie Zawinski
Really? Is this right? I know nothing to be able to question - but it does seem to be an extreme that I would have heard about before?
The real problem is that Vercel doesn’t let you set a spending limit. Someone could DoS your app while you’re asleep and you’d wake up to a $10,000 bill with no recourse. It’s 2026 — AI crawlers and bots are everywhere, constantly hitting endpoints, triggering serverless functions. Vercel charges for CPU execution time, not bandwidth, so every bot visit costs you money. This isn’t a theoretical edge case. I couldn’t justify the risk anymore.
