🎬 I watched ‘Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning’ over the weekend. From beginning to end.
Popped over to Letterboxd to review - to discover 🔗 I had already done that! - and that story says all you need to know about how memorable it was!
So Dave Barry’s 🔗 Mission: Highly Improbable ❓
😂😂😂
A group of people in a room - and they all take it in turn to bring the audience up to speed on the ‘challenge’ - one sentence at a time - in strict rotation.
Is there really no better way? This goes back to the early days of CSI et al and now it’s everywhere.
Time to move on?
Leaving This Thought
The Transformation from ‘The Age of Reason’ to ‘The Age of Experience’. Letting this sit, wondering if there is more.

💬 I sometimes use a personal guide to ‘people’ based on MSOffice (a clue to how seriously I take this). Everyone is part Powerpoint, part Excel and part Word.

Discovered uneaten fries in fridge this morning 🤯
Breakfast recipe.
Cut chips in to small cubes.
Fry till crisp in oil with dash of Chili and seasoning.
Break in eggs to taste.
As old as I am - a first. Won’t be my last. #Don’tJudge
Wuh woh. It all started last year, but it just got a significant push with the judge granting approval for a variation on a class action in the U.S.A.
“The case involves Mobley and four other plaintiffs representing all job applicants ages 40 and older who were denied employment recommendations through Workday’s platform since Sept. 24, 2020. The court determined that the main issue – whether Workday’s AI system disproportionately affects applicants over 40 – can be addressed collectively, despite the challenges in identifying all potential members of the collective action.”
The Boss released his first album in â73 and it was clear even then that he wrote songs of disillusionment and protest. So when his fans got all uppity when they realised that âBorn in the U.S.A.â wasnât quite the all American anthem they thought - including âRonnieâ, I would have thought that this would have cleaned house of the âpeople that donât pay attentionâ.
