📽️ I’m not saying Charlie Brooker always gets things right … but he does get some of his stuff so very right.
A new anthem? Sure … that will solve all the problems.
🪦 Farewell Alan .. loved your work. You will be sorely missed.
The Philippines have just added another 20 jobs to their total.
The U.S.A. have just lost 20 jobs from their total.
Thankyou Axel Springer.
A job training start up that raised $100 million has gone bankrupt.
I’ll just let that sink in for the moment.
Nvidia and Salesforce Ventures are investing $141 million in the ‘text to video’ AI startup Runway.
Curious. Runway has been around for a few years and doing quite well - if you have seen Colbert’s Late Show or Everything Everywhere All At Once - you have seen Runway in action … so why suddenly now? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Rhetorical people. Rhetorical.

Adding Spoutible to T2 to BlueSky to … haven’t we been down this path before?
Since I’d forgotten that this was installed … I guess it was doing a good job. Seems like the rules are changing. So … first job … what do others think? Anything better, plunge in … #ThinkingFirst
Xnapper or Cleanshot?
I get you might want to promote your streaming service to a wider audience. But why in the name of satan would you use Twitter to do that … you know who I’m talkin’ about … right?
Say whatever you want … add an exclamation point .. two to emphasize. Provide no link. Definitely no third party reference or validation. Maybe write the whole thing in CAPS.
Repeat. (Sometimes even using the exact same words, maybe vary slightly.)

I just read …
The company is a bit strange: they’re a combination of a non-profit and for-profit corporation
‘The company’ is OpenAI.
Is it really that strange?
Too much ink many bytes have already been devoted to exploding submarines. Please stop. The chatter that is … not the submarines, the hubris, the arrogance, the ignorance, the …. Let them all continue and let people climb into them and sink to the bottom of the ocean forever.
With two differences …
1] If they disappear .. nobody goes looking for them, unless they have paid in advance a deposit to cover such search and rescue operations.
2] The world pays as much attention to them disappearing as they do to the hundreds and thousands dying all over the world as they seek better lives.
One major benefit of MicroBlogging over Substack is that MicroBlogging quietly enforces tight editing … I think a few Substackers might benefit from that kind of discipline … or just get an editor.
Not big news in the scheme of things and I for one didn’t see it coming but I guess it is a clear ‘sign of the times’ … Farewell Stitcher.
