Truss vows to scrap remaining EU laws by end of 2023.

Make no mistake - she moves fast.
- from anti-Thatcher to Thatcher acolyte.
- from anti-Brexit to Brexiteer.
I wonder why something this small should take so long!

House panel showed Trump conspired to seize the election – but was it illegal?
“In this era of polarization, there are risks that both charging Trump – or declining to do so – could further undermine Americans faith in their system of justice."

Is that too many books to be reading ‘at once’?
Saving grace:
I am well aware that I haven’t even opened at least four of them since I first put this list up!
And another four got added today and I haven’t opened them either. They are just ‘looking at me’.

About Those Deep Links To Email Messages
MacStories : 🔗 Generating Markdown Links to Mail Messages with Shortcuts and AppleScript
Dr. Drang : 🔗 Mail links and percentages
I used to use hook - but not enough to pay for it - so stopped.
Spark has an easy way to generate deep links to emails - BUT - if you move the message to a different folder - the lnk breaks for me.
So question.
Does the MacMail linking also break when you move messages, or is the ID absolute?
‘Interim’ seems to be creeping back into job titles. Something happens … you got to move quick … interim … I get it.
What I don’t get is why you have an interim when you have had months to sort it out.
Maybe a way to bypass the law when the time comes to kill off the choice?
I had cause to check out Jerry’s Brain today and stumbled on this quote at the top of his site;

Data Is The New Soil
In 2013, Mark Cameron wrote
‘Data is not the new oil, it is the new soil.’
He concludes;
"Generating business value from consumer data isn’t about technology at all. It’s about how you use data to create a fantastic experience for your customers. If you can help your customer get value from their own information they will reward you for that effort. If you continue to use data to spam your customers or provide value to your company, you may find yourself wondering where everybody went."
💬 Mark Cameron
IMHO it's a soft article with most of the cleverness centering on the (S)oil pun.
Data is the new .... was the theme of an article I wrote for BizCatalyst a few years ago; Time To Terminate Analogies
"Sure, we wrap the idea up in customer care and nurturing, just as one does when growing plants in a garden, but at the end of the day Cameron’s argument – which seems to emerge from the work of David McCandless who writes at Information is Beautiful is simply a clever play on ‘(s)oil’ and sits squarely in old thinking. "
💬 John Philpin
“The soil analogy is certainly better than big oil but to me, it’s still about personal data being something that’s owned and used by marketers, rather than recognizing that data is used by all of us – both individually and collectively.”
💬 StJohn Deakins
But It Just Got Better
The other day an interview with Jerry Michalski appeared in one of my feeds, where he talked about Data Is TheNew Soil - nice piece - though no mention of Mark Cameron (rightly probably).
I still think the analogy needs to die - but there was a lot more insight and thinking around the idea (definitely not surprised - Jerry is a thinker). I can highly recommend the whole article which isn't just about the (s)oil pun, but includes many other topics, including these that tickled my particular fancy.
- Idea Superconductivity
- The Betterverse - not the Metaverse
- Linky Prose
- The importance of breaking Zettlekastens out of their private spaces
- Liquid Democracy
and a whole lot more.
Do take some time out and have a proper read.

In case you were wondering .. yes this is the same Jerry that runs Jerry’s Brain. I am even in there - though it is clear that a few updates are needed!
