Bob often nails it - and I do like his style.
🔗 How the Ultra-Wealthy Think About Money
For the ultra-wealthy, money is effectively not finite. It’s just a resource to be pointed at any burning thing. I know you’re looking at your banking app saying $broke and wondering, “how can this be?” and yet: it is true. The most counter intuitive thing is that, not only is the money faucet boundless for them, but in fact, most of the money coming out of the faucet is not their own. People who control large pools of money are very, very eager to let billionaires use their money.

.. is a new one on me - just received from a friend - but it is now part of my vocabulary.
Meanwhile, over on Reddit, I would argue that there is no need to answer question 1 .. just jump to question 2. #Effiicency

🎥 The Sleepover, 2020 - ★★★
If you have run out of movies from the ‘Spy Kids’ franchise, well now you have one not from the franchise .. but that is pretty much the only reason to watch it .. with your kids/grandkids .. oh … and get ready for the question …
> If mom was a baddy and all her old gang are not in prison .. how did she swing being in Witness Protection?
The answer?
Don’t be persnickety .. it’s a movie.
🎥 The Foreigner, 2017 - ★★★½
On the whole, when I eventually get to them (7 years in this case) I do enjoy Jackie Chan movies. This was no exception. If you aren’t into Jackie Chan movies, this won’t change your mind.

🎈182/366 The Monkees Predicting ATS software THIRTY YEARS before it appeared.
A friend on LinkedIN recently made a comment and referenced a video clip in support of his argument, which truth be told, I can’t recall - but it definitely wasn’t about ‘ATS’.
🔗 📼 This is the video clip .. it’s a scene from the Monkees TV show - this particular one directed by Bob Rafelson, written by David Panich - who I had never heard of - but given the subject matter of the clip, was intrigued enough to look him up .. IMHO - serious writing chops.
All this to say that if you have EVER been on the wrong side of one of those bloody ‘ATS’ machines that sift resumes before any human gets to it - this clip will resonate. It is from 1966 Series 1, Episode 3. The reality of ATS in business kicked off THIRTY YEARS LATER.

I remember a news item a few months ago about a series on one of the streaming services that plays the episodes in a random order for each viewer. Clever I thought, a non linear show played on a linear format, moved on and promptly forgot about it.
I just finished it. Really, really good. Arguably made so much better by the lead actor .. Giancarlo Esposito .. but seriously, no duds. Highly recommend it.
(Side note .. I didn’t even clock that the show was the one I had read about until the very end.)
