These Oreos are a weekly purchase for our family. Last year they were consistently $3.50. A couple of weeks ago, they jumped to $5. But good news! @coles has “dropped and locked” the price to $4.50. #marketing101 #swizz

Question for @restisents about @richardosman’s fave Gladiators. New Gladiators series in both the UK and Australia this year. Why has the UK’s done great, but Australia’s tanked?

I know you’re trying to help, Bing, but you’re coming off creepy.

@keredm It’s new to me too and it does make my grammar nerve twitch a bit.

@Alex_Frino @illawarramerc @UOW Interesting read. You say the good news is hard to find... are falling house prices not good news for first home buyers? Or do you think increased interest rates cancels that benefit out?

I'm burnt out. I know it. Its been a tough tough year. I've pulled back for the rest of the year. Need to regroup and refresh. Yet I've been bullied by it.

This article is so true.

Whenever you're frustrated learning something new, remember this:

In Opinion

"Human beings, if they are to thrive, need a bit of privacy — walls and a door," @nytdavidbrooks writes about open plan workplaces. "And yet employers, decade after decade, neglect to give workers what they need." https://t.co/hGsQEw5SWK

Kairos seems like a good way to describe how time is expressed in narrative interviews. My narrative maps on creative entrepreneurs’ stories, show time in a similar way to the diagram below. (@KateMfD this is today’s scratch pad thought.)

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

The Ancient Greeks had two words for time:

1. Chronos = sequential, quantitative time
2. Kairos = fluctuating, qualitative time

Here's why you need to understand kairos...
