Grey weather on the Mainline today. I grieve the crossing over of Charles Handy, the philosopher and business thinker.

What he called (w twinkle in his blue eyes) a “management guru…or charlatan(!)”.

A better human.
May he inspire you too toward your purpose.

Meta’s data-center accounting gets the Jon Weil treatment:

It’s “financed with debt, and neither the data center nor the debt will be on its own balance sheet. That outcome looks too good to be true, and it probably is.”

Bicycles are happiness machines.
Naturally, Willard had some detractors. “And then that small world of those who loved me best... did not encourage me, but thought I should ‘break my bones’ and ‘spoil my future," she said.

She wrote a book on the subject, called A Wheel Within a Wheel: How I learned to Ride a Bicycle, in 1895.

Suffragist and educator Frances Willard riding her bicycle, Gladys (because it made her glad).

“I learned to bicycle when 50... and I think it is one of the best things I ever did. What pleases me is to see other worn-out women take it up, and find a new lease of health and life thereby."

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass

It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...

Revelations about RW social media accounts being run from Russia correspond perfectly to data already revealed by the Panama, Paradise & Pandora Papers: Russian money streamed thru offshore accounts funds virtually all right-wing "populist" parties in EU & NAmerica. Same goal: undermine democracy.
This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.

It’s Russian.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

A buttery pecan gingersnap base, lightly sweetened pumpkin cheesecake center, and a swoosh of bourbon-spiked sour cream on top, I'm not even welcome at Thanksgiving without this and I'd take it personally if I didn't know how good this actually is.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*

The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.
