"They were introduced only recently."
"Why do they make that weird noise?"
"I'm given to understand that it's a sound the males make during the #rut."
"The rut? What's that?" Brunhilde asked, eyes sparkling.
"Oh. Um..." The bear scratched his head. "Maybe you should ask your mother." #wss366

"I got nuttin' ta do. It's Sunday. You know I don't watch sports. Not even a Columbo playing on channel five."
He sipped his water.
It was warm and stale.
A long sigh followed after he wiped his lips. "I think I'm in a #rut."
"Why don't you go outside" she glanced at the sunny green day. She paused when she realized she sounded like her mom. "Just do something."
"Fine" the chair creaked and his knees complained as he rose. "I'll go outside" with a measure of resignation. 2/x

Run! A Stag Defends His Harem

Last October we spotted a herd of deer, both stags and hinds, in a field. It wasn’t long before another stag wandered in and decided to break up the party.

After running around for a bit, the stag ran through the group of hinds and then walked away, trailing 3 of them!

Timbro och Oikos la fram rapport Tidö 2.0 – nystart för Sverige. Ett i huvudsak mycket reaktionärt förslag som skulle dra Sverige i en klart fascistisk riktning. Det fick ETC att vilja skapa nåt motsvarande från vänster.

"Guess what? If you didn't do anything today to get out of your rut, it just became deeper!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

The thing about ruts is that you'll never get out of them if you don't start now!

Here are 10 signs that you're in a rut:

- clinging to the idea that "we've always done it this way."
- suffering from aggressive indecision.
- always displaying relentless negativity and pessimism.
- exhibiting deep complacency.
- over-reliance on past success and old glories.
- a culture that is risk-averse, fearing failure.
- a lack of urgency and procrastination.
- you rely on committees or rigid processes.
- you listen only to familiar voices.
- you resist adapting to change or new ideas.

That's a good overview of rut-thinking.

Stuck there? Here are 10 ways to get out of it:
- commit to decisive action.
- cultivate optimism, focus on opportunities.
- break old habits, abandon routines.
- embrace risks, learn from failure.
- seek diverse ideas, challenge old thinking.
- prioritize continuous learning and skill reinvention.
- think big, embrace transformative ideas.
- build urgency and restore a sense of purpose.
- seek partners, collaborate effectively.
- manage culture to foster innovation

Does this get you thinking? It should.

Are you in a rut? Maybe!

Futurist Jim Carroll has done hundreds of corporate sessions around the theme of innovation, and knows that far too many people and far too many companies are stuck in an endless rut!

Högerregeringen har just höjt Rot-avdraget. Det är ett av många bidrag som i huvudsak går till rika människor i flotta villaförorter runt storstäderna. De andra bidragen som främst går till samma grupp av rika människor är Rut, ränteavdrag och reseavdrag. I princip kan en säga att alla bidrag ocgh avdrag som börjar på bokstaven R är riktade bidrag till välmående och välbägade stadsbor med dyra bilar och dyra villor.

«Rut respondió:
—"No me pidas que te deje y regrese a mi pueblo. A donde tú vayas, yo iré; dondequiera que tú vivas, yo viviré. Tu pueblo será mi pueblo, y tu dios será mi dios.
Donde tú mueras, allí moriré y allí me enterrarán. ¡Que el señor me castigue severamente si permito que algo nos
separe, aparte de la muerte!"»
— #Rut 1:16-17

¡Eso es tener ovarios, carajo! 💪

Finns bättre saker att satsa på för att lösa livspusslet. T.ex. fungerande kollektivtrafik och tåg.
Eller varför inte arbetstidsförkortning.
