.. there are some things in life that I clearly do not understand … such as the need for Democrats to self destruct.
A Public Announcement
Nobody else will even notice - much less care - about my achievement today, but gosh darn - it needs to be recognized. So this is …
A Public Announcement
Today I fixed the CSS on my MicroBlog so that the video container when looked at on a phone is now fixed and no longer runs off the screen.
AND no Google or ChatGPT in the loop …
AND I have had this in the back of my mind since March 27th, and was ignoring it in the hope it would just go away …
AND I have held off doing it because - well I ‘know’ me …
AND In the end it only took 5 minutes.
I am so utterly gobsmacked that I am going to have to lie down for the rest of the day.
You Know He’s Right.
As is so often the case.
🎥 The Gentlemen, 2019 - ★★★★
Watching the spin off show recently reminded me that I hadn't reviewed this - which I watched only this past Christmas. I like most of Ritchie's movies - this was no exception. I like most McConaughey work - this was no exception. And - DEFINITELY better than the spin off series.
🎥 The Beautiful Game, 2024 - ★★★★
One of those 'little' movies that just hits the spot and then there is 'Bill' - so really, what is not to love.
Turns out there is a soccer competition for Homeless people around the world - and this release sees to be synched with the first annual competiton since before COVID. (If I read right.)
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.
Homeless People - Soccer - Movie - Awareness .....
I watched a lovely little movie last night - fresh out on Netflix with Bill Nighy in the lead role.
Great movie? Not at all. Just one of those lovely little movies that I happen to enjoy - and seemingly that Bill happens to enjoy making.
Anyway - it got me to wondering. Is there really a soccer World Cup for homeless people? Turns out yes - yes there is …

I am part of a burgeoning collective that is out there and can be found - but we aren’t yet promoting. Homelessness is one of the threads running through the collective. I haven’t heard talk of this particular event - BUT - I am going to post this post into the timeless space and see what I can find.
Want to know more about that collective and what we are doing - Let Me Know

OOH OOH - here’s an idea - let’s take a movie from 25 years ago and turn it into an 8 part mini series.

Seperately I still look forward to having MicroBlog and Readwise just synch with my chosen folder in Newswire. And then I thought I read the other day that this is indeed possible. Is it? I can’t find anything about it anywhere. 🥺. But there’s more. I want the opportunity to change the order dynamically, based on ‘last post in’ - but no plans according to Manton.
.. from 🖇️ here - where i have just published V4 of my ‘blogroll - but still no answers to those question - plus - I wonder if there is any plan to offer a ‘nested’ list. (If you click through - the need becomes clear. 🤒

I wrote a post yesterday morning. It’s not my usual style, so I filed it in drafts while I cooled down.
I woke up this morning and saw the headline “Israel Blames Misidentification for Strike That Killed Gaza Aid Workers” … and so fuck it … it’s in the comments below. (If you are reading this and not on my site - click on the link.)

🔗 Google to delete search data of millions who used ‘incognito’ mode.
‘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 💩

Umm - a new record?
