Long day travelling, lots of mapping ... arrived home. Shattered. Time to relax. Hmmm ... Pixies? Garbage? Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy? Cypress Hill? ... Nope, this evening let's start with something ... Lush
Gosh, I had forgotten how good Lush was ... cinquecento, shake baby shake -
Ok, that's it ... I'm definitely heading down the path of the Cure ... it might not be Friday but how can anyone not love this -
Oh, it's impossible to start the path of the Cure without getting deep into the woods ... A Forest ... once again, skating dangerously close to Siouxsie and the Banshees -
Fortunately, there's always that old stalwart Depeche Mode to pull you back on the right track with your own Personal Jesus - ... signing off for the evening, this is going to be a long night listening to fabulous music.

X : We have a problem with our people.
Me : What?
X : Most lack digital skills necessary and those we hire keep on leaving. We need to make our culture more dynamic, more digital, more agile.
Me : That's easy to fix.
X : How?
Me : Fire your direct reports and then fire yourself.
X : You're a bit of a clown aren't you?
Me : No, I'm serious. The problem is not your people, it's your leadership. It's crap. You're crap. You need to go for the good of the organisation. You won't nor will your direct reports and so this will just continue until the firm dies.
X : How do we make this better?
Me : Spend a small fortune on sending yourself and your reports on leadership courses and coaching in sunny locations.
X : Will it help?
Me : Yes. It'll get you out of the factory so that people on the floor can get on with what needs to happen.

The most popular option every time - backed on average by just over a quarter - has been to leave without a deal at all - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… ... well, I'd prefer GE followed by Corbyn + Brexit (preferably WTO but EEA docked to EFTA is fine) but that's a bit specialised.
... what I do find amazing is that "no deal" still tops the options after years of continuous campaigning both online and offline to overturn the referendum against no effective opposition. That is fairly spectacular, almost unprecedented.
But as always, do remember these are polls and not reality. Lest we forget 23/Jun/16 ...
Populus had Remain 10% ahead
ComRes had Remain 6%+
YouGov had Remain 4%+
Ipsos Mori had Remain 4%+
... One of the few dissenting voices was Opinium, who produced that recent poll.

X : Who created Wardley Maps?
Me : Err ... the clue is in the name?
X : Are they new?
Me : In terms of historical scales - yes. It's only 14 years old.
X : Why haven't I heard of them before?
Me : Because the world is large and techniques take time to diffuse?
X : Could you create me a map of my organisation?
Me : I could but it wouldn't help you.
X : Why?
Me : Because you wouldn't know what to do with it. You really need to learn to map for yourself.
X : How do I do that?
Me : Start here - medium.com/wardleymaps - just add practice.
X : How long will it take?
Me : To become really good at mapping, for it to become natural .. many years.
X : I don't have the time, how do I speed it up?
Me : Well, you could decide to actually start and use it i.e. practice. There is no shortcut for practice.

Home
no one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it’s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath

#home #warsanshire #poems
#WhereAreTheChildren
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn’t be going back.

you have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages
no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck
feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled
means something more than journey.
no one crawls under fences
no one wants to be beaten
pitied

Long, long thread. A re-write of @LadybirdBooks Sleeping Beauty to make it fit for the 21st Century:

Once upon a time, there lived a kign and queen wo were very happy, except for one thing. They both longed to have children but they had none. (1)
Now it happened one day, when the queen had been bathing, that a frog crept out of the water. The queen told the frog all about her longing for a child and felt much better. (2)
Later that year, she found out that she was expecting a baby. She and her husband were delighted. (3)

Long thread. I'm a bit of a spare-time video game history buff, and I have some things to say about politics, gender and (*shudder*) GG.
I often see the origin of GG cited as '80s nerd culture. It was actually the early-mid '00s. For example (NSFW):
That's a pre-YouTube viral video, dated around 2004. It's a perfect example of Xbox Live's infamous player culture. That kid's an adult now.
