Every legendary startup started as a dumb idea. Until it wasn’t.
💬 Christopher Lockhead
I keep repeating this to myself - over and over again. It’s good to remember. But don’t get carried away … because ‘what goes up must come down’.
For example we just heard about that $500Billion investment in AI and then just a few days later little start up in China took twice that off the entire tech stock market.

… except for Apple it seems. Why?
I suspect that it has a lot to do with Apple’s AI strategy of on-device processing first.
Don’t Get Me Wrong.
This isn’t a pivot. The broader swathe of my usual fayre will continue to be punched out onto keyboard or glass.
Music, Business, Humor, Tech, Observations et al … it will all continue.
But the ‘Politics Tab’? Yeah, that’s different - and I suspect will also subtly change the topics in those top level categories.
“Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free men.”

Thank you Roger
The words throughout the 4 part ‘series’ courtesy of Roger Waters - so fitting to end this post with one of his.
Picture a courthouse with no fucking laws
Picture a cathouse with no fucking whores
Picture a shithouse with no fucking drains
Picture a leader with no fucking brains
If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
Going Forward
Shaken - no more. Definitely stirred.
More of the same. For sure.
But time to try different.
I am one person. Hell I’m not even American. Why bother?
Because that is exactly what is expected.
It’s not how they win - but it IS how we lose.
Not to mention that this is not just about America.
And so here I am again.
What will be different? I have ideas.
Let’s discover the journey together.
How do you fight?
Not with logic. Not with facts.
With love. Trying - but it’s going to be hard.
Three days of what was fully expected.
No turning back by them, so fuck it. No turning back by me.
No bowing. No cowering. No retreat. No surrender.
In the beginning there was ‘Fuck That’ - I am done.
Not literally - but a necessary and strategic withdrawal.
It arrived slowly as the truth settled in.
