2 planes with those trailing banner’s circling Coachella this afternoon .. no idea what they were promoting - too far away - but it does make me wonder about the ROI of such advertising.
Need a new guitar? Why not pop round to your local food market … for sale … right by the meat section.
Would love to know the rationale behind the decision.
I thought it odd having so few people inside this vast cavern of a Starbucks (don’t judge).
Still - no wait to order and my choice where to sit on the shaded patio.
That’s when I spotted the line of cars at the drive thru, which is constantly 6 cars long.
Clearly they aren’t in a rush.

The problem with Umair is that his writing very often depresses me. The bigger problem is that I have a hard time disagreeing with his observations and conclusions ( yes he is guilty of hyperbolic phrasing ).
🔗 Elon Musk pays for Stephen King and LeBron James to keep Twitter blue ticks.
Now what we want is for those guys that have been granted free ticks to tell Musk to ‘de-tick’ them.

I’m not really bothered that the gun is smart … unless by ‘smart’ they mean it’s in a perspex case. Now that I could go for and it’s not that hard to retrofit.
One Raabid (sic) MP down … many more to go.
Elon blew up his rocket faster than he destroyed Twitter.
I’m glad to see these companies defending end-to-end encryption, but this letter dances around the repercussions of this proposed legislation in the U.K. What they mean in the third paragraph quoted above is that if the legislation passes, people in the U.K. won’t be able to use WhatsApp or Signal or any other end-to-end encrypted service. Apple isn’t a signatory of the letter, but I think iMessage would be banned too.

Does the Orange one’s lawyer’s lawyer need a lawyer?
Related question …
I wonder if there is some kind of record for the number of lawyer’s in a sentence preceding ‘lawyer’ … I’m guessing it’s about to be broken.
I remain convinced that there is an untapped revenue stream that @danielpunkass is missing … back end bulk managment of posts ( and pages? ).

New Subscribers on Day 1 of Notes;
- Judd Legum - 3,500
- Me? 2
Putting aside that to follow somebody’s ‘notes’ I need to get their newsletter (so some of those 3,500 will probably fall of), but with 3,500 you have a margin. 2? Not so much.
