Elon Can't Kill The Video Star

The 'tumultuous' takeover complete, the world's richest person looks set to fire half of all Twitter staff. Hot on the heels of sacking the entire Board "for cause" (meaning no golden goodbyes), perhaps garnering less 'shocked' twitterati 'ratio-ing', is Musk's other pronouncement this week. That he's ending WFH. Everyone to

How Sensitive Are Your Fabs?

First, indulge me a few lines of anti-dictatorial pushback. Despot Xi Jinping places his boot firmly on the throat of over a billion humans. Now denied any hope or indeed, basic dignity. He's been busy extorting five more years ruling his now personal fiefdom. The criminality that is the Chinese

Pep's Overload to Tilt Secret

“In all team sports, the secret is to overload one side of the pitch so that the opponent must tilt its own defence to cope.” The reveal, according to Pep Guardiola. Does any sport hail as boundary reshaping and mindset shifting a coach as football's pre-eminent genius right now? Albeit

Hybrid Huddlin' Guiding Trio

World's Richest Man buys _____. Fill-in your own blank. Personal Plaything? Power & Influence? Status Symbol? Elon Musk pays (apparently well over the odds?) for Twitter. Give 'im his due though, the "sink in" stunt pic of said new owner walking into its head office, carrying a pristine white ceramic bathroom sink,

Sales on Easy Mode

Not to mention the generational chance spurned for structural reform in the GFC aftermath of 2008 seemingly coming home to roost. Is this the reason behind the

What Is Not The Problem?

The problem is not the problem. The challenge is finding a way to position yourself/rearrange your environment so that the problem vanishes. When you do it right it’s like a magic trick. — Alsek dreams (@alsekdreams) October 5, 2022 Here's 'Twisdom' that might well relate to us in solution

Greenwashing Fossil Fuelling Slides

What's Now 86'd?

I came across this American hospitality argot via reports of a 'lost in showbiz' incident. A talkshow host being barred from an NYC restaurant for being the rudest customer they'd ever suffered. A "tiny cretin of a man" to boot. After the publicity, a "profuse" apology followed and second chance
