Responsible governance? This isn’t it.

Don’t get distracted by the bluster. Renewables are happening. #AusPol #governance https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/25/if-one-nation-wants-to-be-a-serious-political-player-barnaby-joyce-needs-to-get-his-facts-straight-on-the-climate-crisis?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Researching the corporate bullshit generator (it’s a thing). Findings? People who fall for the corporate bullshit consistently make worse decisions. Who is surprised? Not me.For folks who can parse language & think clearly, failure to challenge incoherent pap indicates obedience & a tacit agreement to keep critical & ethical analysis out of the workplace.For those who don’t see through it (or who doubt their own assessments), compliance gives the comfortable feeling of ‘the smart people know what they’re talking about, if I stay with them I’ll be ok’.In many workplaces this is a necessary condition for career advancement. To often it is the case in academia also.Who benefits perpetuating this crap? Those who wish to manipulate populations via bullshit.We see you.#CorporateBullshit #deception #incompetence #control #CriticalThinking #education #powet https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/mar/23/corporate-speak-study?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

@26pglt Yikes, how did you guess their dad was this way? I would have thought since I raised them that they would see what I daily or at least weekly cleaned. But, nope. I do think that common issues has their first point: they really are oblivious and then: they don’t feel it’s that important to clean. And I’m not known for being a super picky cleaner. I just get enraged that bending over to pick up an errant potato peel would just not happen unless I pointed it out and asked them to pick it up.
