🔗 Pockets of Belfast - Gapingvoid
On 20th March, in celebration of the UN’s World Happiness day, the BBC’s Mark Easton conducted a little social experiment: dropping ten wallets (with money and his phone number inside) on the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
He got them all back.
Makes me happy - and today isn’t even World Happiness Day!
🔗 Were Your Managers Managing Your Decline?
This is “managed decline,” – the art of overseeing failure with exceptional documentation. Managed decline hides under terms like cost control, risk minimization, and streamlining, but it guarantees one thing: job security for managers. The EU and UK exemplify this, where managed economic entropy and decline have become a boon for the managerial class. Managers multiply like Gremlins in water.
Work Life Balance - AGAIN.
Long said that the whole work/life balance problem ‘solves the wrong problem really well’. For example - 🖇️ me, nearly six years ago
I conclude …
Does John Mayall feel fulfilled? Well, needless to say, I can’t speak for him - but I think he does. Is he the richest musician on the planet? Not by a long way. Is he the most well known? Not at all. But I’d wager he is one of the most fulfilled people out there. And not a work-life balance equation to be seen.

ð Big Tech: Proceed with Caution - Gapingvoid
“Imagine a âconnect-the-dotsâ (Ed: playbook). The people in an organization are the dots. Their relationships are the lines connecting them. That complex web represents an organization. And culture, which occurs in the spaces in between, is the picture that emerges based on how those dots are connected. If you erase 10,000 dots, what happens to the picture?”
