"Writing is an intellectual activity, not a bundle of skills. Writing proceeds from thinking. To achieve good prose styles, writers must work through intellectual issues, not merely acquire mechanical techniques" —F.N. Thomas & M. Turner, 'Clear and Simple as the Truth' 1/2

Stop Scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

The Blues Brothers: Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi Toast

Alt: The Blues Brothers: Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi Toast on a fancy restaurant, while dressed in poor blues musician's suits, with hats and sunglasses on, wearing napkins hanging from their collars. We should all try this level of carelessness for classist norms at least once in life.

As someone who works communicating data to others, most people get confused by percentages. Tax brackets are complicated to most people. The best course of action here is to show full absolute numbers instead. A person earning 165k pays x in taxes now. They'll pay y. For different income levels.

National Party post a video lying about Green Party tax policy. They're caught, but Nicky No-boats doubles down and lies about the accuracy of the video. National Party posts a new video, lying about the criticism of the first video. It's lies all the way down.

2022: design is dead! 2023: designers will all be replaced! 2024: you won't be replaced by an LLM, but by someone using the LLM! 2025: juniors will be replaced and AI will be surpervised by seniors! 2026 so far: It costs **HOW MUCH?!**

Cartoon Men Burning Money

Alt: A cartoon of two sailors with shovels standing each at the side of a pile of money in front of a burning furnace. They are shovelling the money into the furnace with furious intent. An analogy to the current rage and money fueled haste of the tech industry to burn as much money as possible in the name of some sort of progress. I am not sure if the sailors know where the ship is going, but it doesn't matter, does it? What matters is to shovel as much money as possible into the furnace.

We leave this branch long when cutting back the Cherry tree as it is a favourite launching pad for Tūī accessing the feeder. One day it will probably break from the combined weight

Several Tūī clinging onto a long tree branch that is bare except for some Autumn leaves at the very top There is also one flying away and one flying towards the tree
