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.

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.
I think it was ‘eclipsy’ that @dave called out as not a real word.
Might I add ‘winningest’ to the new ‘un-dictionary’
Flip IT in ‘UNITE’ to get ‘UNTIE’
At the same time you flip the meaning of the word.
.. 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?

ONE HUNDRED? A timely reminder that I need to bring these ‘dailies’ into alignment. Once ‘the daily’ became too much (because of the approach I was taking), I worked out how to simplify - but still not on top of it.
That’s a lot off missing years … assume the hamsters are doing something .. wish they’d hurry up. Will leave it overnight and check in tomorrow a.m.
I have had Raindrop for yonks, but it landed with a thud in my conscious this past week. Yes - the usual AND the possibility of 🖇️ this - or even this!
Not sure - yet - how / if it connects to everything else in my newly emerging connected world of NetNewsWireFeedBinReadWiseRaindropMicroBlog.
Looks like the eclipse has eclipsed any and all other news.
But all was not lost. Spotted as I was leaving …
.. and they say print is dead.
Were it not for ‘print’ and the ‘physical’ world, I would never have known about an AI presentation using a hologram.
Ironic - right?
🖇️ Meanwhile … I stopped off for a well deserved ‘Latte and Eggs Bennie’.
I don’t know who this young lady is
(angle to purposely disguise her identity) , but she talked for the duration. And I do mean talked, barely drawing breath, much less pausing to listen to whoever was on the other end.
