”I accept the confidence vote result but Theresa May should still meet the Queen and resign"
Jacob Rees-Mogg
63% is no landslide unless you compare it to the Brexit vote that Jacob is an ardent fan of - not to mention that he’s been angling for her job for a while now.
Phew - just under the wire!
Part Two of Episode ZERO : Episode 0.2 in fact.
… where I explore a little more about how to make a podcast out of a fairy liquid bottle, some duct tape and a pair of scissors.
I also refer back to part one - and wonder if anyone can answer the quiz.

Being in ‘Europe’ in the early 70s I did know of the other bunny … on moving to the US and being exposed to Energizer bunny I just assumed that the crazy pink rabbit was developing. Only now did I learn that the bunny of my youth was a Duracell bunny.
The Transatlantic Battery Bunny Battle
THAT’s how good Duracell’s branding was!
I still buy Duracell.

Stood to the side of the road, walking stick supporting him. Well kept. Elegant even. Just standing. The traffic constantly passing him by. No slowing down, but then no attempt by him to get them to either.
I slowed down to let him cross. No movement.
I opened the window.
“Would you like a lift?”
“Thankyou.” he said. “Thankyou very much.”
Slowly walking towards the car, he gets in.
“Much appreciated.” he said. “I’m going to 4th street … is that ok?”
"No problem. Which cross street?"
“It doesn’t matter. Anywhere on 4th. I’m going to the bank.”

Words and Pictures ... There's Room For Both
In my world, there is even a space for both!
Pictures - they say - are worth a thousand words.
Words however are very specific and in many ways less open to interpretation (lawyers aside!!)
So, I am going for both.
Here on my muttering stream - i have oft’ referenced the closing down of my different social spaces, so might I welcome you to :
Words - now Archives - the lead content on this space are words - sometimes supported by pictures … but not always. (UPDATED LINK)
and
Pictures - now Archives- the lead content on this space are pictures - sometimes supported by words … but not always.
Both are based on Blot.IM
I will also publish a picture of how it all connects on … where else … Archives !
Also to come soon … Sounds.

And that … that right there … that is the rub (my bold)
”Let’s put that another way. No matter what happens from this point onward—no matter what the Mueller inquiry reveals or doesn’t about conspiracy with the Russian government—the fact is that prosecutors have evidence to allege that “Individual-1,” aka Trump, ordered Michael Cohen to break campaign-finance law and lie about it. Even if you believe, as Republicans do, that those crimes are unworthy of impeachment and removal (even if less severe crimes were enough to impeach Bill Clinton), few would say they should go unpunished after Trump leaves office.”

Consolidating Yesterday To Tell A More Connected Story Today.
I attended this yesterday …. a 1 day (actually closer to two days squeezed into one day ) event feauturing Tim Berners Lee, Vince Cerf, Professor Wendy Hall and a veritable host of others.
During the day I posted a series of images and comments in separate posts, today I am consolidating them into a single post to bring more of a story together.
In chroniclogical order »
Kick Off
… with Ray Wang, Mei Lin Fung
… and Vint Cerf
Later In The Morning
Vint Cerf and Tim Berners-Lee … who didn’t invent the internet or the www (respectively) … at least according to them.
TShirt Proof
Dame Wendy Hall …, with Sir Tim listening quietly in the background.
Sponsors For The Day
Vint and Ray Wang

The Enormous Life of Anthony Bourdain, According to Those Who Knew Him Best.
Why on earth the article is headlined ‘The Last Curious Man’ …. I have no idea, yet another reason why I am not a publisher, they must know what they are doing. Right?
More Americans get news from social media than newspapers
The devil is in the detail, which for such an article seems to be excruciatingly short.
The Cube Rule of Food, the Grand Unified Theory of Food Identification
Very clever .. and via the inimitable Kottke … BUT … shouldn’t number 5 be described as ‘Flan’ or ‘ Quiche’?
