@writer.ia.net Why is your macOS app stagnating? Folding, automatic renaming etc. are long overdue on this platform (and on iOS etc.). Should I be cautiously optimistic about these features perhaps accompanying a Liquid Glass update?

“A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and the need to allocate that attention efficiently.” Endless information distributed through smartphones creates such a world … unlimited wants and scarce resources are the definition of an economic problem.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

Precisely. You don’t debate by first acceding to your opponent on fundamental, critical differences.
We’ve been warning against the Dems running the same playbook Starmer and Labour have been doing in the UK, but in many ways, they already have, and what we’re living through is the result of that politics of grievance sharing. If anything, we should be warning the UK that we’re their future.

Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."

Our local paper - the Bishop’s Stortford Independent - just up the road from Epping tries to stem the tide of hate (and this RNLI fund raiser sold out overnight) but is relentlessly trolled by the deluded, ignorant and extremists.
