Trump: U.S. would be ‘punishing itself’ if it halts arms sales to Saudi Arabia

Besides, the issue is - so far - ‘alleged’ … like all the ‘metoo’ shennigans and even if true - it is exactly what he wants to do if he can … just like his position on metoo.



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?


‘This Is Pathetic’: Progressives Furious as Schumer Rubber Stamps 15 More Right-Wing Judges for Trump

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 …

Gaping Void. Yes. And.

The ‘industrialization of everything’ quickly reduces to automation and we forget ‘humanity’.

There is 1 discipline that needs humanity more than ever. Marketing.

There is 1 discipline that has had its humanity systematically killed off. Marketing.

I couldn’t always track the logic of what he said, but we’re talking people!

What’s logic got to do with it?


Apologies in advance.

I am about to catch up on announcing some of my recent placements at BizCatalyst.

If you are interested, I updated the complete index just yesterday on my blottings site.

Can anyone explain why, on reading this, I burst out laughing?


Not Voting Doubles the Value of Someone Else’s Vote

”I don’t care who you want to vote for, I implore you to register and vote. And if you think you are registered, double-check. It really does just take a minute.”

John Gruber.



Create your own visual journal of data

Knowing how many people out there are aficionados of the analogue journal .. couldn’t resist sharing this with you, where my own interest in visual thinking intersects.


”It’s also true that young people are notoriously unreliable voters. A poll this summer showed only 28 percent planned to certainly vote in the midterms.”

(74% of seniors plan to vote)

Which is why [this].

Sharing again because the lackadaisical complacency is staggering.
