🔗 Man who stole and leaked Trump tax records sentenced to 5 years in prison (Apple News)
If it is 5 years for this and 4 months for Navarro;
1] are the punishments commensurate?
2] If so what the likely total sentence time will be for the Orange clown?
🎈030/366 | 🔗 Just A ‘Few’ Links
Still battling with my ‘in process’ (I am being generous) archive that 🖇️ I referenced here. Tucked away I had literally hundreds of links - some of which I have no clue why I saved them to drafts - rather than 🔗 Raindrop (a far more logical place). This is a random election from said list.

New Idea as I have been shuffling and deleting categories and realizing just how much stuff is in here.
As I rediscover posts I am adding three new categories that are ‘best’ post, image and quote … according to me. Once I hit 10 in any group - an 11th means one of the ten has to go out.
We will see.
🔗 Still struggling with emojis on my site - (The link takes you to a quick conversation with ChatGPT).
Most of them render correctly - but odd ones don’t … like this one for example : ❓
In my book that should be red?
🔗 The True Blue Ocean – ProjectVRM (2020 - I know - another old one!)
To understand the problem here, it helps to hear marketing talk to itself. Customers, it says, are targets to herd on a journey into a funnel through which they are acquired, managed, controlled and locked in.
This is the language of ranching and slavery. Not a way to talk about human beings.
Four years later nothing has changed.
🎈029/366 | 🎙️ Is Honesty The Best Policy❓
Don’t worry - this isn’t what you think it is.
If you are married or single, a writer or manager, paid for what you do or just for the love, delivered or received feedback, good or bad this is worth every minute of the 11 minutes and 44 seconds it will take you to listen to it.
I think this is my absolutely favorite podcast.
- Short - so there is always time to listen
- Good story telling, to keep your attention.
- Serious points made with humor.
W H A T - I S - N O T - T O - L O V E ❓
Sometimes There Is No Pleasing People
Another old note, that deserves to see the light of day. I have 🖇️ written before on my position (a fan - not a fanboy), still …
The Masses:
“Apple hasn’t produced anything new since the iPhone.”
But surely: …
- Apple TV
- AirPods revenue roughly equivalent to Netflix
- Apple Watch
- A whole new range of Apple Silicon
- Apple Services …
The Masses:
“Yeah yeah yeah … but nothing like the iPhone. Nothing innovative.”
Apple … hold by beer.
Behold, not just a new product, a new category that we call ‘Spatial Computing’, to give you an idea of what we mean.
The Masses:
“Yeah - that sucks it is going to fail.”
A couple of links.
This is about ‘that’ Andreesen post/ But first … context, because I know - life has moved on.
I am in the process of trying to catch up on a massive backlog of notes that I am steadily
- deleting
- filing in Obsidian
- posting to 🖇️John.Philpin
Not sure if this will end up taking longer than the 🖇️ category deletion. We will see.
This one is in the third category. The news has been and gone now - but my opinion hasn’t changed.
Some of you might have stumbled across Andreesen’s Substack :
TL;DR .. who cares.
Despite what he wrote, he’s wrong … not least of which being that word ‘world’ .. it will be fine - regardless of what Marc thinks. People? Yeah - that’s different. Anyway …
What you might NOT have stumbled across are these;
🔗 Alan Jacobs (pdf)
Just read that …
Hilton, together with 🔗 11:11 (Paris Hilton’s agency) launched a Roblox experience where players can earn 🔗 real-world travel rewards
.. and in all honesty I really do not care, except to say that in case you ever have any doubt … it really is a case of it’s not what you know - but who you know.
I learned about a 🎵musical 🎻 instrument museum through a Substack a couple of weeks ago. I’m a sucker for that ‘kind’ of museum.
Imagine my delight to discover that in another couple of weeks, when we have moved into our new digs, it will be just a 6 minute walk to visit.
For months I have had 4 ghost messages in 🍎 Mail. That’s 4 ‘unread messages’ according to the count - but no messages there.
It’s a known problem that has been there through many versions of OSX. In the past, I have always been able to flush it out with various tools like delete the plist, rebuild etc etc.
This time round - nada. I learned to live with it.
Until yesterday.
Out of the blue 13 more got added to the count. They just appeared (if that doesn’t confuse you - because of course the whole point is that they do not actually appear!
So now - a total of seventeen. FFS … Apple. Hello?
I just worked out how to add captions to my images on my blog like🖇️ here for example.
I adjusted my TextExpander template for future 🖇️ 🔎 366 posts.
I need to decide if I should go back and fix all the posts published in 366 thus far?
What’s the name of that psychological problem again?
🎈028/366 | 📸 Just A Picture
Because somedays 🖇️ Ain’t Nobody Got Time For ‘Dis’. Sorry.
📺 Fool Me Once
I have watched a lot of the Harlan Coban mini series on Netflix. The early ones used to be really good … and then somehow I think the way was lost. This latest, while not the best, certainly represents a turning of the order for ‘good story’.
That said .. final episode .. last 5 minutes? Yeah … No. Totally unnecessary.
Fool Me Once on 🔗 Reelgood
That’s how long I have been thinking about writing a newsletter around this thought (surviving that is).
I really should extract the digit!
🔗 Private Public Letters - I am guessing that it is fully subscribed?
🎬 🔗 Netflix Has The Best Assassin Movie of 2024 — Why Is It Being Buried? (Apple News)
Never heard of it. But then it isn’t coming out until June. Added to my list for sure. But why is it being ‘buried’? Well first we have to ask is it being buried? I am not sure it is?
This whole thing on film and shows where a couple of people are texting. Nobody talking - camera closes in on the device. Crucial part of the plot.
Yeah, No.
Am I the only one that can’t read it?
What’s the fix?
And no. The answer cannot be to buy an 85 inch telly.
🎈027/366 | 📼 Ain't Nobody Got Time For That
I remember a segment in Trevor Noah’s Daily Show that was called ‘Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That’
Today I learned that there was a whole video and thing from years before. Is that where he got it from?
