”A lawyer must first get on, then get honor, then get honest.”
Anonymous, quoted in The Book of Insults and Irreverent Quotations
Starting a conspiracy theory.
The Loop tells us that the story of Scott Kelly’s genes changing space is wrong
”The thing is, they’re both wrong, because neither NASA nor the researchers on the Twins Study ever said that.”
That statement is not at odds with the original story
”This was not a security breach. This is simply what Facebook is: a massive surveillance machine.”

Dear @ulysses users .. is there a way i can ‘embed’ text so i have a page:

Dear @ulysses users - is there a way that I can create a link in one place in Ulysses that will jump to another page - how do i dind that link?
🎵 OOOOHHHH
A nice primer / summary of Geoff Moore’s core / context model.
It also starts to move towards how I utilize the model i.e. how does it apply to people? How should an individual think about themselves within that framework.
A really good start, if 18 months late.
**Cambridge Analytica**, has been suspended from Facebook. The firm was suspended along with its parent company, Strategic Communication Laboratories, and two individual collaborators.
Marc Benioff is famous for the launching the idea and images of ‘no software’- maybe it is time to introduce something similar @wyatt @jmanes @simonmumbles
I would argue that if 885 stores close - then the loss of 30,000 jobs is more than ‘a risk’!
How do you define meat!
Cheesecake - is it a pie?
Hot Dog - is it a sandwich?
… and what exactly defines a bridge?
And all if that was just yesterday. Today there is a new one that has hit the national news.
Is meat defined by it coming from animals OR by what it is made of?
Those seem to be the two opposing arguments that are emerging today - and possibly coming to a Supreme Court near you soon.
ABC - Accelerated Bridge Construction - Faster - Safer - Cheaper … which sits at odds with the old adage that on that particular point … choose 2 of the 3.
Florida has just demonstrated that the adage holds.
What the SEC did not get from either Theranos or company founder Elizabeth Holmes was an admission of guilt.
Then again - Manafort is also pleading innocent
Another @gapingvoid image that reminds me of micro.blog - in fact it might even be an image created for @macgenie based on the first micro podcast she did.
When Is A Bridge Not A Bridge?
Building on a recent debate as to whether a ‘hot dog’ is actually a ‘sandwich’, which at one point had me listening to a podcast asking that if a ‘cheese cake’ is not a ‘cake’ - is it a ‘pie’ ?
I believe that this too fits into a similar debate category.
This image of a bridge (?) was shared by my good friend and And Another Thing co-conspirator, good egg and ‘chap’ Dr. Watson (I kid you not) … asking if I was still interested in bridges.
I am. But my question is whether this is one?
What defines a bridge for you?
Keeping The Dialogue Going
In a parallel space, on a different topic, someone directed me to 16 of Stephen Hawking’s Most Mind-Expanding Quotes.
Number 10 resonated for the micro.blog community, ending thus;
With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.
While searching my blog for 2 posts I came across this one referencing @dave back in 2016 .. ‘what nice internet users do’.
These 2 (and others) reminded me of micro.blog
- They comment on other people's posts. - They read posts before responding to them.
I have commented on Theranos for a couple of years now, eg; On 12 Sep 2016 and On 17 Jan 2017
In the past, Tim Draper defended family friend and CEO of one of his investments
Now SEC hits Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes with massive fraud charge
I wonder how he feels now?
Honorable Monks … just as it should be - a story of 🍺 and 🍻
The copy is the original
"We could even say that the copy is more original than the original, or the copy is closer to the original than the original, for the older the building becomes, the further it is from its original state. A reproduction would restore it, as it were, to its ‘original state’, especially since it is not linked to a particular artist."
"The Far Eastern notion of identity is also very confusing to the Western observer. The Ise Grand Shrine, the supreme Shinto sanctuary located on Honshu island, is 1,300 years old for the millions of Japanese people who go there on pilgrimage every year. But in reality this temple complex is completely rebuilt from scratch every 20 years."The Full Story
