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.
📺 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.
Ripley on 🔗 Reelgood
Talk About Misguided and Fucked Up
Apparently, Murdock and Musk were on pace to receive the RBG Award? Nobody thought .. hang on a minute?
It gets worse. Below the fold …
Two other ‘awardees’ were 🔗 Michael Milliken
.. and 🔗Martha Stewart
… and yes I do understand second chances and all that - but still .. am I the only one out here on the edge - again?
IMHO .. Sly was the only one who deserved to be on a short list to begin with.
Love to know the backstory.
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
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)

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

.. there are some things in life that I clearly do not understand … such as the need for Democrats to self destruct.
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.
In this piece Bob Lefsetz suggests that musicians of the world take a leaf out of their book.

‘Incognito’ is not ‘incognito’ and barely a flutter in the ether.

🔗 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.
🔗 The great list of all the blog platforms.
I scrolled and scrolled and thought …. he’s forgotten Montaigne.
But he hadn’t. Why did I doubt?
More importantly, Did you know there were this many blogging platforms out there?
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 don’t know .. I am sorry to ask, I just wonder if anyone else thinks this is a croc?
