"I’ve been thinking a lot about how the “need to publish” and to constantly “put out content” have contributed to the overall devaluation of the media ecosystem, turning attention into a piñata for monetization. It’s prompted me to work ona longer piece, which I’ll keep refining for a few more days before sharing it with the readers. "

Way back in early 2024 my IFTTT action stopped posting to DayONE. I couldn’t be bothered to fix it. Yesterday I connected john.philpin.com to my DayONE .. and the posts have started again.
Why?
Because it could. Because I can.

Journals are typically private. So is mine, but this site is the public-facing part of that private journal
"In order for news to have a chance of working we need to be using only the web, commodity services that are completely replaceable, and we keep our own writing, and route it to everyone who’s interested via the open protocols of the web. That’s the only way people with important ideas and info can get it out there."

Trust Requires Trust. Who Do YOU Trust?
If ‘the future’ is trust.
Who/what - do you trust?
I mean really really trust?
And why?

There are in the same country
shepherds watching their flocks.

🔗 Russell Brand charged with new rape and sexual-assault crimes. - this link is 🍎 News - just sharing because Brand is - and always has been a total douche.
🖇️🔎 Me in a series of posts in 2023
But most importantly 🔗 the BBC earlier this year
"The BBC has apologised to staff who felt they could not speak up with concerns about Russell Brand’s behaviour because he was seen as “too influential” and they felt he “would always get his way and therefore they stayed silent”."
But Robin Ince? Fire🔗 the fucker.
All this comes to mind as I watch the emerging BBC/Trump case.

"Email design is a special kind of hell. While the rest of the web has moved on to modern CSS, flexbox, and grid layouts, email clients are still stuck in the dark ages. You’re forced to use table-based layouts, inline CSS styles, and work around the limitations of Outlook (which still renders emails using the Word HTML engine from 2007). It’s enough to make you want to just send plain text and be done with it."
