This isn’t incoherent. It reflects a clear principle: Only the president and his allies, his supporters, and their anointed are entitled to the rights and protections of the law, and if necessary, immunity from it. The rest of us are entitled only to cruelty, by their whim. This is how the powerful have ever kept the powerless divided and in their place, and enriched themselves in the process.

The Cruelty Is the Point – The Atlantic

There has always been a debate about the “right” order to watch the movies.

My new proposal; Andor, Rogue One, Episodes 4 to 8 and then stop. All tight great movies

And the story ends with hope…

Fortnite maker Epic Games has announced that Apple has blocked the game’s return to iOS. Following the rejection, Fortnite is no longer available on iPhones and iPads even in the European Union, where it had previously been available to download through the Epic Games Store.

I can’t see how this ends well for Apple, they’re trying to protect a moat that isn’t allowed under EU law. To make things worse, they’re drawing attention to it.

I wanted to add the Instagram feed to the site. I think that this is first step of moving my photos off of Instagram all together. (I’m almost off Facebook, have given up my Amazon habit, and am thinking about Apple, can’t imagine what they have in common!!!).

There are PlugIns to do this. One is called Spotlight. I tried to install and then gave up because it said I needed a creator account for Instagram.

Then a miracle. Someone at Spotlight reached out to my email, talked be through the process. And now it all works!!!

So Spotlight is recommended.

Season 1 was something special. Season 2 is exceptional…

In June 2023 I woke up on a Saturday morning to over a thousand new emails and was receiving new emails every few seconds.

Step 1 – Change passwords. Thank god for 1Password.

Step 2 – Work out how I’d been hacked. The emails were a clue. I’d been hacked via a WordPress plugin. Once in they’d managed to read my emails. However, I still had access to the console of the hosting company.

Step 3 – Sort out the emails. I’d been subscribed to hundreds of newsletters to camouflage the other stuff they were doing. Email by email, I pieced it all back together.

Step 4 – Recover the stuff that was stolen. Mainly air miles. That took three weeks.

Step 5 – Recover the hacked WordPress site. That took two years. Mainly because I didn’t have the time what with life and stuff. Today it’s back (I hope for good).
