@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?

@ploafmaster NO. Just NO.
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.
… which on review is going to need some work - now I know why it had been parked 😜
@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’.
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.
@adamprocter sadly i am right in the middle of writing to Manton and Sven - there are issues that have emerged - and even after rolling back to base Sumo i have ghost post errors and oddities with emojis. I’m used to thinking it ‘must be me’ - mainly because it usually is - but this time I think not and seeing your comment gives me even more confidence that ‘prime time’ might be a little more elusive than I might like.
@bradenslen Found It! Well - not exactly …
Pretty sure it was an Ezra Klein podcast - couldn’t find it - but did find the background.

Upgraded my Hugo to 0.158 - errors up the yazoo - but a common problem underpinning them all. Reversed back - found file - and tracked issue to a plugin. Deleted Plugin. Moved back to 0.158 and voila … rebuilding as I type - so far so good - this has been a move in the making for what … 3 months? Very happy.
@manton … far from urgent … just trying to keep up .. this post shows screen grabs of before and after ‘AT’ over on BlueSky .. defo a change .. but not as significant was I was expecting.
@bradenslen about 2 - 2 1/2 years ago I heard a podcast about how left v right is no longer the lens we should be using .. will endeavour to unpack it — maybe a Swedish author?

@patrickrhone what @davoh said.
@patrickrhone a few more for your list - Don’t Stop 🎵 thinking about tomorrow, 🎵 believin’ or 🎵until you get enough .. ok maybe that last one is a tad misdirected.
