If you find it hard to find a lawyer to represent you, it tells you something.
If you find it hard to keep the lawyers you have, it tells you something.
Clients in the intersection of the two parts of the Venn diagram are going to be - shall we say - problematic?
Perusing - as you do - and came across this compilation :
📚 The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy in Four Parts by Douglas Adams (sorry - Amazon link - couldn’t find this edition on MicroBlog)
It reminded me of a much older ‘trilogy’, penned by one Spike Milligan - who around book 5 wrote something like
Number 5 in the increasingly misnamed ‘War Trilogy’.
A week ago, CNN would have wanted to host the orange one’s rambles on Tuesday, but they didn’t even give air to the ‘event’. The Licht CNN is already becoming a thing of the past - but how large are the self inflicted wounds - and will they heal before the memorial service?

Crud Begone
In various places I play in - including professional ‘anti-tracking and privacy’ groups - I am constantly stunned by the link sharing that goes on. Stunned because people that should do know better always seems to share links ‘complete with’ the tracking crud that can so easily be removed.
It is so bad that when someone pastes the crud URL, I will post the crud free URL.
Nobody comments. Nobody does the same. Nobody stops posting the crud.
So, delighted to read about this move by Apple.
🔗 Apple hits email analytics again in iOS17
To be clear - I remove all crud, Apple’s intent is to only remove the crud that ties back to the individual. But it’s a start.
Not sure yet how it works, and in what circumstances, but already I think it is a pity it is only in mail.
Thinking about Linda Yaccarino and Musk over at Twitter and Safra Katz and Ellison over at Oracle.
Linda is fresh in.
Safra needed to ride a few waves, see off the competition and prove her chops inside the company first.
Otherwise, it’s just the same.
Is this a hail mary or a glass cliff?
