“I occasionally get these memories that are so vivid, it feels like time collapsed for a second, pushing the past into the present, before it retreats back into the sea of time.”

Maybe it is just me, certainly not unknown !!!Is anyone else seeing WP 5.3 acting a little flaky under Safari?”
Not just you, and not just on Safari! I’ve been having all sorts of visual and interaction oddities with the admin area since I updated, and I’m using Firefox.
“*On October 24, 2019, I presented the Hawley Foundation Lecture at Drake University. It was an update and reexamination of a 2006 [speech on professionalism](() I originally gave at Trinity University”
“The role of ethics in our modern web space has been on my mind for the past few years and I suspect it will occupy my thoughts increasingly as I move”
“For years, filmmakers have used 2.5D parallax to make static photos feel more dynamic, as in The Kid Stays In The Picture, the 2002 documentary about film producer Robert Evans that popularized the technique.
Traditionally, a video editor would use Photoshop to isolate the photo elements on separate…”
“A low moment in Apple’s proud history, and a sadly iconic moment for Tim Cook. I hope avoiding those tariffs is worth it.”
“Dreich has seen off braw, glaikit and scunnered to be named “most iconic Scots word” by the Scottish Book Trust. It received 259 of the 1,895 votes cast in a poll as part of Book Week Scotland that…”
“An enormous amount is at stake, yet few people appear to be enthusiastic about the upcoming vote.”
“AKA the answer to all those people who ask “why isn’t there an International Men’s Day?” on International Women’s Day. Guess what: there is, and it’s today.
In the list of identities I carry, being a man isn’t something I think about most of the time. Which, of course, is part of the hidden privileg…”
“I’ve been using 1Password for years without too many issues. It’s a nicely designed and implemented app with a long history. I really had no reason to look elsewhere.
However, there’s been a lot of noise lately about them taking $200 million in VC money. I’m not that concerned. They’ve grown and want to grow faster, so fine. It did, however, make me take a quick look at the alternatives, just in case.”
“Navy Cmdr. Bryce Benson accepted responsibility for the deadly crash of the USS Fitzgerald and was told, “That’s done now.” But when another ship crashed, the Navy decided it wasn’t through with him. Its pursuit nearly destroyed him and his family.”

I’m giving Inoreader a quick go, based in part on Chris’s experiences using it as a Social Reader. The idea of hooking into IFTTT to create various posts on this blog based on what I read appeals to me. Inoreader allows subscribing to OPML feeds instead of importing a static file – allowing for dynamically managing my subscriptions. Chris manages this through his Following page, and I’m planning to do something similar with my Links page, although to get this working I’m going to have to go back through my list and add any RSS feed URLs to the entry.
I should take the time to get all my “followings” back in sync during the exercise. I dropped Feedly last year, and I’ve never quite finished porting everything I had there to Aperture/Monocle, or to the Links page. I’ve not synced everything I’ve added to Aperture back to the Links page either. So much housekeeping to catch up on.

“The human rights organisation disputed the Spanish Supreme Court’s definition of ‘sedition’, the charge facing exiled Catalan minister Clara Ponsati”
“Conservatives accused of misleading the public during ITV leaders debate with press account re-branding”
Twitter:
We have global rules in place that prohibit behaviour that can mislead people, including those with verified accounts. Any further attempts to mislead people by editing verified profile information – in a manner seen during the UK Election Debate – will result in decisive corrective action.
That statement doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. When was the last time Twitter carried out “decisive corrective action” about pretty much anything?
