Ready to rumble with Michael Moore?

You know I’ve got it right, and I know you’ve had it too. It’s just only so much most of us can take… and when you reach that point, what do you do? What do you do that’s just on this side of legal, because not only do we love our country and we love the planet, we love our friends, and our family and our fellow Americans, and our fellow citizens of this world. To say that that we love, has to imply that we give a shit and we care enough to do the right thing; to undo the wrong thing.

That’s what I meant and you are with me, right now on my very first podcast. It’s called Rumble with Michael Moore, and it’s just what the name implies. This isn’t a podcast  to come to, to just have  the same old, the same old thing,  rehashed and help you confirm whatever your believe system is. This is the place to come if you want to join me in the rebellion.

We are here to revolt. We are here to not take it anymore. And there is a way to do this. I know that there’s a way to do this. We are, we’ll fix what’s wrong and we’ll create these things that we’ve never really had. And I don’t think its rocket science and I don’t think it is to take a long time.  I think we can all just decide to do it. I mean not everybody is going to join in. Some of them we don’t want to join in with us. But I think the majority of our fellow citizens are.., are ready to rumble, are ready to.., to get involved, to do whatever they can in their daily lives, especially between now and the next November. I know I am.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker and political activist Michael Moore offers his subversive and humorous take on the issues of the day and talks to a wide range of people from comedians and politicians to the people who’ve tried to kill him. Plus various mischief with Mike’s friends, family and the neighbors who don’t work for the NSA.

We are reaching the limit of the ‘move fast, break things’ mentality that Silicon Valley has pioneered for the past decade. With Facebook and Twitter under threat of regulation, and Amazon on the edge of becoming a monopoly, it is clear we need new rules in place.

The Trend Briefing of our friends at the London based Future Laboratory will examine how businesses can navigate a time of Morality Recoded as we define a new global, humanist moral code. They will examine how changing consumption behaviour is leading to a Post-growth Society and how brands’ presence must focus on new touchpoints and a less nefarious form of Subconscious Commerce.

A must for modern age marketers. March 14th 2018. London. Hope to meet you there.

Scott Thrift created two divine pieces of contemporary art which transform the tension and stress behind the idea of time into tranquility and peace.  The two minimalist timepieces are numberless clocks, their faces being reinforced custom glass which open up your living space, giving it a vibrant equanimity. Thrift’s exceptional design results in wall clocks which are a unique and irreplaceable part of home décor for any modern apartment.

TODAY is a timepiece which brings serenity into your home with the pallet of cool shades of blue and purple. Thrift has created a wall clock which masterfully melts the colors of placidity together, ironically transforming a wall clock into a piece of art which represents stillness and exudes calmness.  TODAY is a piece available with or without the brushed stainless steel frame (TODAY and TODAY Open), allowing the clock to fit in perfectly with a different number of contemporary pieces of furniture, becoming an integral part of the design of your home.

ThePresent is a more vivacious piece, adding a certain flavor of joie de vivre to the space it enriches with the warm tunes spilled across the glass. As is the case with TODAY, the wall clock has an inviting reinforced custom glass face, it is numberless, silent, and has a brushed stainless steel body. Thrift’s flawless craftsmanship turned the simple timepiece into a vehicle for the transmission of a tranquil livelihood and a thirst for the simple pleasures of life. It is an original piece of art which redefines the space it decorates.
