If Ukraine can do it … why the hell can’t the U.S.A.?
Of course he did ….

📚 Well that just through a wrench into my book queue … presents from a friend … and its not even Christmas!
Smart Photo Folders on iOS please. Have I said that before? I think so. But it bears repeating because I don’t ask🍎 for much!

In case you are wondering how to make a living once now that the AI masters are controlling the world …
Well that’s not good ….
🎵 Have to say, I am in two minds about this … but Beck’s guitar … sublime.
Side note … As a kid ‘Moonriver’ seemed to be played everywhere - even years after its release. Funny to see two artists that my parents railed against performing a crooner standard!
Emad Mostaque is the man I am paying attention to.
Umm - I just don’t know what to say …

It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.
Remember when Flashmobs were a thing?

I love the Playing For Change Series.
Stumbled across these over the weekend.
Enjoy.

You know when you are playing a game with a kid and they start inventing their own rules - even changing the rules - just so they can win … that seems to be the strategy for (certain) Rethuglicans.
I always like a good visual.
And when the visual is about creativity - well … who can resist?

Substack Spam
Om writing about Substack Spam
Anyone can add my email address to their newsletter list without my permission. Whether I want it or not, I get a pitch for their newsletter, and I have to go to their website and unsubscribe to opt out of the service.
I did not know that. Is he right?
“Opt out” is a growth hacking tactic that has become commonplace online and a time stealer, penalizing all Internet users. Online marketers are just a different version of spammers who annoy us on our mobile phones. And it is so because no one speaks on behalf of the people.
I have been observing this … just hadn’t thought of it as being a Substack issue. The whole thing flies in the face of good email practice that Chad and Jay wrote about in what seems like another life - but apparently the book only came out 10 years ago … is that right?
🔗 Why are so many young Americans adopting fake British accents?
I hope their accents are better than Dick’s.
I keep my RSS feeds organized into folders.
These days what I find in the ‘Apple Pubs’ folder is consistently routine, uninteresting, repetitive and adds nothing to my life.
That wasn’t the case a couple of years ago.
Meanwhile my ‘interesting people’ folder goes from strength to strength.

Perceived? We have to get out of this ’both sides’ shit.
ChatGPT is sucking the oxygen out of the conversation … just like Uber and AirBNB before it …
