”Sears has been dying for many years. It’s been obviously improperly run for many years and it’s a shame." So said President Trump. (Sidenote: Steven Mnuchin was on the Sears board for those many years…)

Race and poverty aren’t the only challenges facing some students. During the last school year, 114,659 public students were homeless. That’s not across America. That’s just in New York City.

I think that is a staggering number … how about you?

How to use Spaces, Apple’s mostly ignored macOS Mojave productivity feature
Love Spaces .. and the smaller the screen the more likely they will be used .. on my 13” … that’s pretty much all the time.
Are we in brackets season?
Trump says he will call Saudi King Salman about journalist Khashoggi
And he’ll get off the call and say …
‘you know, the king said that the Saudi’s had nothing to do with it … and I believe him.”
Jared Kushner ‘likely’ paid little or no income taxes for years
Explains his ever present smirk.
There’s this:
Negotiators reach Brexit divorce deal
But then there’s this:
Britain’s Labour will not vote for ‘blind Brexit’
Which seems to negate the first item … since no deal can be done without a vote which can’t be done without the detail of the deal … which ….
Saved from being hung by a jury that was itself hung ….
Should I file it in the ‘hung pun bucket’?
About that voter suppression stuff that we shouldn’t worry about …

1 Password Subscriptions - A Gouge?
Asking myself why I hadn’t upgraded to 1Password7.
Because subscription I reminded myself.
36 dollars per year IF billed annually.
I have used since v 3 … I have had v 6 since Jan 2016 ( I upgrade asap for good valuable products).
Under subscription that would have cost me $90 to date … minimum - round about double what I paid.
That is a price increase that I see as gouging.
I am not anti subscription … I am for fairness. I mean - I pay that for Bear, more for Ulysses … so it isn’t that … under the old system existing customers got rewarded for loyalty.
Have I missed something?
More than pathetic. I know nothing of these new judges … but why make it so easy with the mid terms just round the corner.
Another blast from the past over on Beyond Bridges - this one primarily a quote from John Scalzi on why you should never - ever - abdicate ANY of your content to a third party … like Twitter and Facebook and …. but we all know that … don’t we?
Just re-discovered this post … one of my own … ‘Context Matters’ from 2013 …

There is 1 discipline that needs humanity more than ever. Marketing.
There is 1 discipline that has had its humanity systematically killed off. Marketing.
