@WarnerCrocker You can see the haze on the Midway Airport live cam.

I didn’t know until today that Sam Neill was originally from Northern Ireland. His family relocated to New Zealand when he was seven.

"I was born in Omagh, we lived in Armagh and my favourite place here was Tyrella beach, I sort of think that's where I grew up," Neill told the BBC in 2012.”

@WarnerCrocker And the Governor gets to fill the vacancy? Is that what you think they are trying to do?

If McConnell is dead, why would they hide the news?
Do they need to hold a special election to replace him?
Isn’t he leaving office in January?
Does the Governor of Kentucky get to fill the role until the midterms?

Also, term and age limits are something to consider. Not just in the USA, but elsewhere that still has real elections.

@WarnerCrocker That option isn’t available on my profile yet. There is one about audio. But it’s already off.

I’ll check again in a few days.

Don’t get your hopes up people. Expect some bullshit from that dipshit Farage at 14:00.

If he does decide to fuck off, then celebrate that good news.

@WarnerCrocker For the record, I started using Dropbox again recently as it’s the native syncing service for Scrivener. I’ve had no issues with the native Dropbox client on my Mac.

@WarnerCrocker Remarkable.

Nick Clegg making a late play to reclaim his title as the most disappointing centre politician back from Keir Starmer.

@WarnerCrocker 🙏🏻

@WarnerCrocker Damn. That’s genuinely shocking. 🙁

@WarnerCrocker @dsilverman Agreed.

@WarnerCrocker @dsilverman I was considering it. But I think I’ll persevere with one of the remote desktop options to “run macOS” on my iPad Pro 13-inch with Magic Keyboard. By connecting to my Mac mini desktop.

Another domino falls…

@WarnerCrocker That’ll go down like a fart in a lift in France. Rightly.

Boosting this again because you need to hear it. Yes, you.

Ella McRobb. Bringing her classically trained voice to the rock stage. A chance to be a generational rock vocalist.

@WarnerCrocker I might backtrack into Grammarly again for a bit.

@WarnerCrocker Yes.

@WarnerCrocker Basically, they’re not working on the current beta. The Writing Tools toolbar button in Pages does nothing. There is no option for Writing Tools in a pop-up menu on selected text. I was able to get the Siri app to proofread selected text by invoking it from the pop-up menu and typing “Proofread” into the Ask Siri field. But there’s no UI to review suggested changes like some apps currently present. Unusable.
