๐ Trump Organization Accused of Tax Evasion in Panama.
โฆ well that explains THAT.
๐ CNN: Gaetz investigation will be released - Kevin Drum
.. to channel @gruber โFinally
But Kevinโs take is most likely ‘why’ โฆ
Now that Gaetz no longer matters to Donald Trump, I guess at least a few Republicans screwed up the courage to do the right thing.

On this blog, February โ22 was ๐ my first reference to …
Known sex trafficker Matt Gaetz
The simple question worth asking is: That piece of media or interaction or investment you’re making – is it to earn trust or simply find attention?

๐ Montana Supreme Court affirms decision in Held, historic youth climate case (Apple News - but the headline is the important bit and definitely NOT click bait)
Maybe this will motivate more action around the world?
๐ ๐๏ธ How the Supermarket Helped America Win the Cold War - from Freakanomics - its an update old one.
.. who knew?
So building on ๐ this โฆ just asked why every table in the room was booked ( the bar is full(Ish) but the rest of the place is empty) .. turns out Monday night is โBlues Nightโ.

๐ Foreign students warned: Get back to America before Trump takes over.
I am not a student - but I had been thinking about this whilst down in New Zealand - but wasnโt in a rush - until November 6th.
Hello SoCal - looks like I was thinking straight.
Just discovered 1440
Why 1440?
The printing press was invented around the year 1440, spreading knowledge to the masses and changing the course of history. More facts: In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. We’re here to make each one count.
Over the past couple of years I have increasingly disconnected from Galloway. Always used to like his insights and takes - but over time he seems to have become very blustery and grand standing. Sean Illing however? I put him up there with Sam Harris. So this one proved a conundrum. Sean won as he and Scott talked about the struggles men are facing today.
๐๐๏ธ Sean Illing and Scott Galloway
.. well worth it. No bluster. Considered. Thoughtful. AND IMHO Spot on.
Just shows how a show host really can shape how their guests come off. It’s definitely a skill.
Mathematicians have discovered a mind-blowing new kind of infinity.
ใ ๐ New Scientist at Apple News ใ
Good grief, it was only in my last newsletter when I was talking about the eternal debate re Math(s) .. โDiscovered or Inventedโ and during the journey drifted over towards ‘infinity’ and Cantor and then for some reason changed course, though the point was more to do with โฆ
A good PURE mathematician is exactly this kind of person. They like to look at something that is a known irrefutable fact - and then refute it.
Good news - no need to update my newsletter around โinfinityโ.

Oh wait I did โ zero response, just like most of my posts.
Another Substack clash.
Literally back to back - these two pieces appeared. The first was from our old friend Dana talking about the AI Boom bust and in turn - a haircut
๐ When Will The AI Boom Bust? - by Dana F. Blankenhorn
And then right after that, another writer talking about what youโve taken to human interaction out of all customer interactions youโre pretty much left with nothing.
๐ The unexpected opportunity with AI agents - designing for customer friction
I think Dana is giving you a real world example from today to support Jamies argument - as he was thinking about the future.
๐ Well now - that’s an idea - the new product from Arc, though I can’t help thinking that is a video for an audience of one.

๐ Age-gating - Matt Mullenweg โฆ at the OS layer?
Over in identity land I am constantly amazed how the world of tech keep on providing solutions that if they work, will only work with devices and computers.
