Just like the Rolling Rock Ads all those years ago …

The Walker Brothers:

  • not Brothers - just Mause, Engel and Leeds
  • not Walkers - just a great Run

@technogeek75 same here …

1 of 2 macs
0 of 2 iPhones
0 of 3 iPads

I knew the iPads were in need of replacement - but the phones are both 16s - my 16 replacing a 10 … so not a natural upgrader there.

GUILTY - It is why I recently starting to experiment with ‘mark’. I just think I am the wrong person to add what emphasis I think .. because naturally - I think ‘it is all important’.

Were I better writer - maybe that would be a viable claim. But not today.

@manton a useful addition for sure - again - definitely a me problem - but in the default window not even all my categories are revealed without scrolling and/or resizing. ☹️

@JohnPhilpin Unless Steyer manages to grow his count by 25% in the final strokes - whilst the other two get nothing - it certainly looks like he’s made it to the final round, so it’s going to be a straight Red/Blue run. The question now is how many of the Dems in California will turn out in November and vote for a Trump backed Brit who made his name as Cameron’s ‘right hand man’ - before making his name in America as a Fox News host?

Now that we are finally back with my personal template - the journey continues. This is a test <mark>REPLY</mark> to my test design post so I can continue to tweak my first two pages - before I move on to the rest of the site and the final tweaking for phones.

Thought I would also drop in an image at the same time to make sure they also work and present properly.

Good News indeed - although this still lurks:

WHAT ARE SPACEX’S CHANCES OF JOINING S&P 500 NOW?

> For the ‌S&P 500, ⁠not before June 2027, and only if it also turns profitable and lifts its float above 10%. The Nasdaq and FTSE Russell have shortened their trading-history requirements, opening a faster route into the Nasdaq 100 and Russell indexes.

@lmika One blog to rule them all … I have a history of random blogs … at one point it was if I didn’t need blog categories .. I just started a new blog. Slowly importing them to micro blog and closing .. still a few to go.

Re self censorship … getting older helps.

@manton if a ‘prenup’ makes sense in a marriage of two people - sure as hell makes sense for a municipality and business come to a similar arrangement - after all - ‘Corporations are people too’.

Replying to: @bradenslen

@bradenslen

I think the two sides issue is the problem - which goes beyond politics.

It is - as Roger had it - the problem of ‘Us and Them’.

The original piece was called ‘Us and Them’, but on Roger’s ‘Us➕Them’ tour - the name subtly changed …

Can’t find an exact quote - but the essence was that ‘➕’ transforms the concept from ‘binary opposition’ to ‘mathematical unity’.

Paraphrasing:

Instead of ‘us versus them’ it becomes ‘us plus them = one humanity’ … a call to action to ‘pool our love’ and recognise we’re all ‘ordinary men’ who should work together.
