COVID-19 Response: Removing trial limits to help businesses work securely from home.

Revisiting subscriptions (closing some out - pulling in others) and I thought - let’s take a closer look at Grammarly - I did - for about 2 seconds … $30 … a MONTH!

It’s clear that I am not in their target market.

‘I know what’s at stake’: can Biden win over skeptical Sanders supporters

Here’s an improved headline:

‘I know what’s at stake’: If Biden wins the nomination and skeptical Sanders supporters don’t vote for him in Nov, they are voting for Trump.

Ok - needs a wordsmith.

Raab ‘confident’ prime minister will recover.

“he’ll pull through because if there’s one thing I know about this prime minister, he’s a fighter.”

Riffing on Dave Pell, something I’ve long thought …

The corollary : If you die - it’s your fault for not fighting hard enough.

I’m a black man in America. Entering a shop with a face mask might get me killed.

I’ve commented previously on how the new normal of ‘masks’ flies in the face of laws in some countries.

This is not law, just real observation.

I went for a job interview today.

The interviewer asked me, “What’s your biggest weakness?”

I said, “Answering the semantics of a question but ignoring the pragmatics.”

The interviewer asked, “Could you give me an example?”

I said, “Yes, I could.”

BOOM BOOM

PHEW - FINALLY

MAMMOTH Task.

Note to self - don’t let it get this way again.

Call it a public service :

The world’s oldest .com domain is now a museum of internet history.

Oh, and then there is this.

The Big Internet Museum

BoJo in intensive care. Wonder if he will emerge with more compassion, understanding, caring and if he regrets saying;

“we should take the coronavirus ‘on the chin’ and count on ‘herd-immunity’. This, he claimed, is what his scientific advisers recommended.

In October 2018 Cringely predicted that ‘Redhat would take over IBM'. He wasn’t QUITE right, but as IBM CEO Arvind Krishna shakes up leadership team on first day at the helm it is interesting to see that though he didn’t get the top job - boy is he getting a large slice of pie.

The Plan Is to Save Capital and Let the People Die

Things we know - but when highlighted in such a stark manner - the craziness ‘makes sense’.

Millions in US at risk of ‘water shutoffs’ amid layoffs triggered by pandemic - Environment.

”Two-fifths of Americans rely on water utilities which have not suspended the policy of shutoffs for non-payment.

Is this what this was about?

Techstartups looks like a pile of auto generated crud, says it is based in D.C. and has a twitter account of 422 followers.

I don’t know, you’d think that tRump, being as he is so savvy (I know he is - he told me), would be on top of this. No?

If you are from, live in or love Hawaii - you might just enjoy Pono Shim talking about the meaning of Aloha.

If you start with this Forbes piece:

Inside Khan Academy’s Emergency Plan To Educate America’s Stay-At-Home Kids

It kinda puts into perspective the latest rant from the inimitable Galloway:

Post Corona: Higher Education

Capitalism’s Triple Crisis

”Despite US taxpayers’ significant public investment in vaccine development, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, recently conceded that newly developed COVID-19 treatments or vaccines might not be affordable to all Americans.”

The sign is clear - ‘please leave your resusable bags into the store’.

So why are 80% of the people in the line INSIDE the store carrying their reusable bags with them?
