From Rishad … 🔗 here.
My Take?
1 - been saying that for years.
2 - we know this - BUT seeing it written in out in 2 short sentences made me sit up.
3 - see ‘2’.
4 - depending on your domain - that has been happening for over a decade. look at marketing if you want a use case.
5 - yes.
6 - which will be a major change in how humans operate in large corporations - so not holding my breath
💬 Last one for now. An Osman highlight.

"Vivaldi" by Curved Air
Another one of those cross genre mind blowing tracks that just had me hooked - and never let me go. I wonder if two cellos would ever have happened without Darryl.
🪦 Thank you Clive … safe travels … ‘keep making stars ‘.

"Phaedra (Steven Wilson 2018 Stereo Remix)" by Tangerine Dream
But these were the guys that had my heart back in the day. Noting that I try to post links as close to the original as I can - this is the exception that proves the rule - a 2028 Remix by Steven Wilson.
Bonus points for the name of the river.
👁️ Let’s see if this works. I’m looking at you Inkwell.

📺 I watched the first 1 1/2 episodes of 🔗 Cold Call a long while back and forgot all about it. This weekend as I was poking around - redesicovered and finished it. (The whole thing is only 4 episodes - so an easy piece of homework) - and my goodness - maybe they spent a little bit too much time setting it all up - but somewhere in the middle - it just turns … you might know the lead - Sally Lindsay from 🖇️The Madame Blanc Mysteries that she created, co wrote and stars in. Nice gentle little show with a 🖇️🎵 great theme song.
Cold Call is nothing like that.
★★★
📺🔗 Dublin Murders over on Acorn is a few years old now (2019) but really rather good. Going to give it ★★★ - but - no spoilers now - that last episode might be require me to come back and knock it up to 4.

"Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding (2014 Remaster)" by Elton John
IMO he never did enough instrumentals. And no - not a 'yellow' brick' 'road'.
👁️🏗️💡Running some very large OPML imports into NetNewsWire recently as we are doing some testing - gotta say that the synching improvements that @brentsimmons recently added are definitely making a difference.
One More thing please: Nested folders and/or tags (as @dave uses in Feedland) 💗

An electric stringed digeridoo solo.
Who knew that there was such a thing?
Spoiler alert - there wasn’t until he invented hit.
Mesmerising.

"God Speed The Plough" by Stackridge
Part 2 of 2. Not The Korgis.
🔗 Daring Fireball: Yours Truly on The Vergecast: ‘the Epic Story of Markdown’
That’s it. So what I find gratifying isn’t that my “language” continues to thrive, because it’s not a language. It’s that the way I like to format plain text when I’m writing, and the way I like to see plain text formatted when I’m reading, has so thoroughly won the world’s mindshare battle. “Ha-ha”, I say, to people who want this to mean bold, not italic. (And to Slack and WhatsApp, I say “Fuck you.”)
Quick 30 minutes - nicely done.
🔗 Can someone who’s more green fingered than me tell me is this is giant hogweed please? asks Kevin Quirk.
No idea - but the danger was described over 50 years ago.
Turn and run!
Nothing can stop them
Around every river and canal their power is growing
Stamp them out!
We must destroy them
They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour They are invincible
They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering
