From the Renaissance to the Reformation, from the fall of feudalism to
the rise of capitalism, from the Scientific Revolution to the Industrial
Revolution, from the way we order our thoughts to what we choose to
think about, nothing survived the printing revolution intact. Our world
is the world that the printing press has created. The post first

Another entirely unnecessary crisis. Everything about our energy system
is running on the edge. Despite sitting on a “lake of gas”, Victoria
Australia is in danger of running out of usable gas midwinter. The AEMO
is back in crisis mode (if it ever left). In Victoria gas supplies are
so low, two gas power plants have been ordered to switch off to preserve
some gas storage, and the AEMO is begging

We’ve talked before about how useful buying refurbished computers and
mobile devices can be, both in terms of the quality of tech you can get,
the price you can get it for, not to mention the environmental benefit
of reducing e-waste . If you’re looking for a new-to-you device that
gets the job done, even if it may have a scuff or scratch, then we may

There is so much going on in the world right now that it can seem
almost frivolous to even discuss beauty products or trends. However, it

trying out a new eyeliner trick, or finding out a classic product has

On January 6, 2021, then President Donald Trump wound up his
supporters, who he knew to be armed, with lies about a stolen election,
which he knew to be false, at a rally near the White House. He then

The Canadian truckers, who mounted one of the most peaceful and
inspiring mass protests in history, have been demonized by Trudeau and
his cointelpro thugs.
The White House keeps insisting that it will not directly involve
American soldiers in the war in Ukraine, but it keeps taking steps that
will inevitably lead to a large-scale open combat role for the US
against Russia.
Looking at on-the-ground battlefield reality in Ukraine, however, it
quickly becomes apparent that the generals’ boasts continue a
decade-long trend of rosy combat proclamations that all too often turn
out to be disastrously wrong. American media, Congress, and the public
need to start applying a little more scrutiny to what these officers
say.
With out of control inflation and a lurking economic catastrophe,
blaming everything on “Putin’s price hike” is backfiring on the
Administration.

Every year, we survey buyers of consulting to understand their
perceptions of consulting firms in what we think is the largest annual
survey of its kind, with over 3,600 responses this year. As part of
that, we ask clients what’s most important to them when thinking about
specific firms they’re familiar with, and—as we’ve explored before in
our blogs—we’ve seen a big shake-up in what clients tell
The factors clients take into account when deciding which firm to hire
have shifted radically in the last year. As we’ve noted elsewhere on

assumed that every major firm could do everything—now plays a pivotal
role. Clients seeing consultants afresh via Teams and Zoom, have found
