  1. To all those unemployed public servants, here’s a tax cut to help you out. Now run along, and don’t forget to vote for me! My PTKPII numbers are unassailable. Polished turd KPI index.

  2. Gnats probably got all their training and learnings from Scott Adams’ book Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel. You too can possess the skills to guide our economy and society to its ultimate finale; (not tautology as we will experience numerous finales.) On the cover Dilbert holds a sign in large letters – ‘Unattended Piles of Money’. It’s available new online at The Nile and Trademe $40 approx. But such a good investment towards your billionaire future.

  3. We have jejune players in control, it can only get worse when they process the world through their rigid ideological lens. Buckle up folks.

  4. Love that word jejune, it sounds so fresh and lively somehow. Honestly we have used all our regular words over and over and they’ve lost their bounce. When we go over the cliff we will be flattened. We have to inject jejune into our lives with smarts alongside. Give it a try when appropriate. Oxford Languages gives this for meaning:
    Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages ·

    adjective: jejune
    1. naive, simplistic, and superficial.
    “their entirely predictable and usually jejune opinions”
    Similar:
    naive simple
    innocent artless guileless unworldly childlike ingenuous
    unsophisticated inexperienced ignorant green immature callow
    trusting trustful unsuspicious unwary unguarded
    credulous gullible easily taken in unaffected without airs
    open frank uninhibited natural unpretentious spontaneou
    down-to-earth childish juvenile puerile silly infantile wet behind the ears

    Opposite: sophisticated mature
    2. (of ideas or writings) dry and uninteresting.

    This may seem OTT but we may be able to get through to others or even ourselves see a different perspective with some new words. There are so many to choose from so how come we keep on repeating the same mistakes. The answers are out there. Find them, discuss them, polish them up, see their outcomes and alter to make them right for the need.

    And read ‘If’ by old Rudyard Kipling – 1st verse of four good ones.
    If—Rudyard Kipling 1865 –1936
    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;…

    (That is having a bit of humility, don’t be a patronising, always right middle class smarty.) Committing to being a good, honest friend to those who are also committed to that, and being aware of others who are not so committed.

  5. Something I noticed today. For good music that’s got grunt Queen is positive. And Billy Joel is softer but his words are good, Piano Man tells his understandings of people and Allentown too. I didn’t realise he had sold so much of his work. I hope he hasn’t been cheated out of much – think Leonard Cohen.

    Billy Joel’s new Turn the Lights Back On – with lyrics.
