Each episode kept me coming back for more. An increasingly difficult thing to do in theses ‘streaming times’.

Me last July … 🔗 Read

Me last August … 🔗 Read

Why?

Because as the scuttle around that movie at the time - nothing was as it seemed.

🔗 Tim Ballard’s Claims to Fight Sex Trafficking Made Him a MAGA Star. These Women Told Police He Abused Them.

I wonder what percentage of people who mumble about ‘systemic change’ actually stop to think what it means AND what it takes.

Pace Layers is a nice starting point to understand the magnitude of what they are embarking on.

🔗 Shocking revelations about Sarah Wilkinson’s arrest and bail conditions

I am hoping there is another side to this story. But so far - only a hope.

I don’t hate them .. they’re just talentless nobodies from 30 years ago with very loud mouths that I assume have run out of money and neither of them can make more on their own … that I couldn’t give a fuck about.

Not sure about Wikipedia’s photo of the day - today - August 29/30 2024 ( never sure when days start and stop when operating in multiple time zones.)

Got off the ferry yesterday and looked for my usual scooter, and noted that the purple ones (Beam) weren’t there - only Lime available. Having lost Ola in the city earlier in the year - got me to wondering.

🔗 So I googled

It would appear at first glance that Beam have been ‘naughty’.

Worth reporting since I am writing a pitch where I am using this quote.

Meanwhile, over on HCR’s substack

"Trump began the day by posting an advertisement for the fourth “series of Trump digital trading cards,” or NFTs (which are unique digital tokens) featuring heroic images of Trump. People who buy 15 or more of them—at $99 apiece—get a physical trading card as well. Trump said that the physical card has a piece of the suit he wore at the presidential debate, and Trump promises to sign five of them, randomly. Up to 25 people who buy $25,750 worth of the cards with cryptocurrency will be invited to a gala next month at his Jupiter, Florida, golf club."
