@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.
@manton Is there a definitive ‘this is what you do’ guide somewhere? I thought I followed all of this, but not working for me - but that is more than likely ‘operator error’. So want to try again.
@bradenslen 🖇️ In case you were wondering … |p is highly relevant .. a brilliant and stunning performance as I have come to expect from REN … pay attention to the lyrics.
@bradenslen Umm .. we seem to be on a single page …
Just for kicks testing my newly formatted ‘blog reply’ form - to make sure it is not broken. All part of my 🏗️ Blog Rebuild.
@mitch back in the day I think we all felt that it was something about applying photo copies to humans. It likely fell away when we realised that a copy of a jpeg was identical to the original. And then we realised that they weren’t. And then we discovered how much none of us knew about what copies were actually doing - like being a source of phishing and ransom aware - and that you have to have your wits about you …
And then suddenly ‘digital twins’ are good?
Do we learn nothing?
