Files will be easy. Apps and settings a bit more challenging.

That might work. What do you need to recover? Just files?

Can you install an older version of the OS to use the Time Machine backup? Feel free to reach out. I have stumbled through this as well.

I tried to brush her yesterday. And she protested that it wasn’t long enough, and she didn’t feel it put her in the centre of attention enough.

At Casa Charman-Anderson, we have been watching TikTok explainers about the Groyper Wars. It is making more sense than most coverage. Newsweek is on it now. www.newsweek.com/groyper-char...

Newsweek has an overview as well. Breaking through from posts in the US in our feeds are people talkong about why the MAGA rhetoric has died down It is most likely because they know the civil war is amonst their ranks not the mation at large. www.newsweek.com/groyper-char...

Yes, this makes sense of what so many outlets are calling ‘incoherent’. The Groypers have their own cultural language. Moreover, friends of ours in the UK say their kids knew Charlie Kirk from TikTok. What does that mean for politics here?

Yes, we have been reading up on the Groyper Wars this morning. It is breaking into coverage in the US now. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

We had a lot in common, but I was in the UK on secondment from my job with the BBC in Washington DC. I didn’t know if I was going to be in the UK that much longer.

I remember seeing a lass (fortunately in a bike lane) on an e-bike in Chicago a couple of years ago blithely doing a video call or possibly live-streaming herself. Her attention was far more focused on her phone than traffic.

Who could forget that igit with a death wish. If only there were one of them. I remember a graphic Washington Pos article about e-bike accidents. They explained why they included the details. It started with a mother talking about her son wiping out and the entire back of his skull just gone.

So glad to hear that Smol Paul is better. Pulling for him to feel 💯 his normal yeeting self soon.

I have a taxonomy of the most dangerous e-bike riders. I remember witnessing two besuited clowns riding on them through a red light on Clerkenwell by the Yorkshire Grey talking side-by-side as if they having a bar side chat. They were completely entitled and oblivious.

Interesting. I look forward to the review.

Oh. I hope you are feeling better soon and are back to umpiring as soon as possible.
