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

straight line

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.

.. 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?

🔗 Porn showing the way again?

We know that the Porn Industry leads the way in adopting new technology to redefine itself.

Not once or twice - but continually. Only Fans might be the latest example.

🔗 Johnson Warns Jeffries Could Become Speaker

‘Warns’ …

… the article suggests Hakim is the House Minority Leader- I would suggest that if indeed he ‘assumes the mantle’, that he would then be the House Majority Leader … it’s just that the definition of which ‘majority’ ii is - like different to the usual donkeys and elephants.

But he hadn’t. Why did I doubt?

More importantly, Did you know there were this many blogging platforms out there?


🔗 🎙️ Can you patent a pizza?

Good question.

TL;DR - yes … yes you can.

BUT, apparently it means nothing, because you still need to be big and with deep pockets to protect that patent - because otherwise them large corporations - hell they invented the 💩


I think this is a great list …
