🔗 The end of the content shortage
The ennui of infinite content is reversing our spiraling desire for more of it.

Here’s willing it to be so.
Headlines: ICE is starting to check ID’s in airport security lines. Be warned.
In his State of the Union address in January, Donald Trump identified a problem for America: “We’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it.” To give him his due, he seems to have found a solution.

🔗 Daring Fireball: Claude Can Now Take Control of Your Mac
The Claude Mac client itself remains a lazy Electron clunker. If Claude Code is so good I don’t get why they don’t prove it by using it to make an even halfway decent native Mac app.
I like reading release notes from developers who take the time to document changes, and I also like reading “Bug fixes and performance improvements” over and over and over again from developers who do not.
😂
🔗 Too complicated for people to understand.
Our first job is to do work that matters for people who care. It helps to follow that up with the scaffolding needed to cause cultural change, so the idea spreads.
But don’t dumb it down to reach people who don’t want to be reached in the first place.
🖋️ It's Fractal
Reflections on fractal communications - a very old idea - and its cropping up again as I am developing a very new idea - and even I hadn’t connected the dots.
Sad that I would believe Iran before POTUS on this topic.
Claude - please rewrite {my copy} in the style of {choose author} - gets {output}.

‘this seems to be your voice and tone’
Inspired by @derekpeden I recently started to rate movies, shows and books on a consistent scale - with real rules and bit by bit visiting the archives and updating accordingly. Posted my 🎬🖇️ Peaky Blinders review this morning and even I was shocked how low it came out - in the old days it would have hit 3 1/2 for sure.
I think AUT Marketing need to think things through more …
🎥 Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, 2026 ★★
This is a film - not a show and so lacked .. a lot. It also requires the watching of the magnificent series that preceded it to really get it. So yes … enjoyed, but if you haven’t seen the shows … don’t bother and if you have, you will be disappointed.
.. and very glad I missed it in the Theaters.
The star rating might seem harsh - it seemed that way - even to me - but this is a good example of how a normalised rating system can help you - dear reader - get better clarity on the 'why'. To cut to the chase - I did enjoy it - any film that sits with 2 or more stars in here are worth watches - but at this level - a lot of caveats.
🪦 97 is a hell of a run Len. You can stop now.

It’s worse than that … it might remember everything for them … but have you noticed that it never seems to remember everything for you❓
I get what he’s trying to do … but we seem to be a long way from this working. I think we also are missing a couple or more.
Joke … Rhetorical … Sarcasm … Irony … all spring to mind as concepts that too many people miss as they attempt to ‘finish the internet’.
