What if we measured what mattered?
New metrics. New goals. New leaderboard. New leaders.

#growth #wellbeing #newleaders

Just a thought from a couple of cartoons.

Reminding ourselves to have some fun.

Quote attributed to Lincoln (not true per Ditto’s 3-LLM research team); traced to 19th C, revived in Dr Stieglitz’s 1946 ad. Now throughout the social media universe.

Thinking about the need to speak out and remembering we do actually have the capacity to inspire one another to achieve better…

#hearts #cardiology #cartoon #bighearted
Cartoon of Ditto and Mello on a white textured background. Ditto, a white spiky-haired figure, sits on the left with a bright red heart on his chest (unique to this scene). He says: “Hey Mel, I really liked the cardiologist I met today.” Mello, a small ginger dog with spiky fur, replies: “I hope you don’t have a change of heart.” A small doodle heart sits below Ditto. Caption at bottom reads “DITTO & MELLO.” Notes in the margin say: “See editor’s note next →.” Cartoon page styled as an editor’s note. Handwritten text reads: “For the record, we are happy to report that even against some possible genetic odds, Ditto’s heart has been certified big, strong, healthy & able to keep up with Mello. Any aches are rooted in empathy, not physiology.” A small red heart is drawn in the middle. At the bottom, Ditto sits beside Mello the ginger dog, Ditto again shown with a red heart on his chest. Caption reads “DITTO & MELLO.”

Micro-mandering

#SocioPoliticalCommentary #Gerrymandering #PoliticalCartoon #LeftLeaningDog #VotingRights #Redistricting #PoliticalHumor #CartoonArt
Cartoon of a couple in bed with their black and white dog between them. A jagged red-and-blue boundary line—representing congressional district gerrymandering—runs vertically down the middle of the bed, splitting the room in two, then zigzags around the dog lying on the bed. On the left side, the person says: “Looks like we’re in different congressional districts now, honey.” On the right, the partner replies: “I always knew that dog of yours was left leaning.” Mello below: I love a left leaning dog. Ditto: Me too.

Now where was that off switch?
Frame 1: Title panel showing a robot labeled “DAIO” and a doodle character labeled “DITTO” under the heading “An Evolution of Doodle-AI Interaction…” Both are standing apart, facing forward, with simple backgrounds. Frame 2: The robot DAIO says, “How can I help you, Ditto?” Ditto responds, “Thanks DAIO. You know you make a lot of stuff up, right?” The scene is labeled “1.0” at the top in red. Frame 3: The robot DAIO says, “Here are some things you can try…” Ditto replies, “Good thinking. Thanks, DAIO.” A thought bubble from Ditto adds, “I’m gonna need a month to get thru all that.” The scene is labeled “TODAY” in red at the top.

Mello wonders why people seem rather intent on turning what should be warnings about the future into self-fulfilling, self-destructive prophecies. Calling all writers: Where's the vision for good stuff?

(Ditto wonders why in the world Mello thinks too much.)
