When I read

"‘Ellison gets jail time’"

I immediately thought ‘what’s he done now’ - and then I wondered why I hadn’t read anything about it - and then decided it was one of those click bait headlines that then got me to wondering how they would connect the story to the headline.

Easy Answer.

The story was about Caroline Ellison. 🤦‍♂️

Observation

I am mainly a Safari boy- with other browsers around me for when I need them - which is less and less - except today I got to thinking.

Been working a LOT in Airtable and find myself hanging waiting for copy and paste or sorting or grid to form view etc

I had been putting it all down to Air... john.philpin.com https://john.philpin.com/2024/09/25/observation-i-am.html

I am pissed off that UGG can’t trademark their name - and so UGG ripoffs abound!!

It’s exactly the same deal with Wordpress and WPEngine. It should not be allowed.

Matt M … 🔗 WP Engine is not WordPress

The opening statement on the WPEngine site …

We power the freedom to create on WordPress

Because of course Wordpress don’t do that?

The Second WTF today - in as many posts!

🔗 Privacy Service Optery Faces Backlash After Plan to Send OpenAI User Data

What goes through the mind of these people? I want to delete something from the internet - but just before you do that please suck it in the giant AI thingy so it is built into the future and for posterity!

WTF

🔗 Everina Maxwell (don’t ask)

"She grew up in Sussex, UK, which has come a long way from the days of Cold Comfort Farm and now has things like running water and Brighton Pier."

(my bold)

Whilst I get that the author of the above is trying to be funny, I might grant more credibility with accuracy. Brighton Pier appeared (pun intentional) on the South coast 3 years before Stella Gibbons was even born and fully 33 years before Cold Comfort Farm was published.

As for running water, well - it was a farm - so highly likely.

I guess 50% true is pretty good in these modern times.

Anyone like the idea of having a way to add a title to each Home Screen of an iOS gadget?
