Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th September, 2024.

6th September, 2024.


It’s officially official: it’s Friday.

And … ?

I’ve picked up — and taken — the Mounjaro I’ve been prescribed.

Hopefully, the blood tests I’m due to have, next week, will show what sort of effect it’s having.

I think it’s doing something.

Unlike the Trulicity I was on — but much the Ozempic I was originally using — I get a case of the jitters once I’ve had a dose.

I’m taking that as a good sign.

I don’t know if some things are wise.

I’ve done a few things over the years, that definitely weren’t!

But … ?

I’m thinking about politics, here.

Seemingly?

Donald Trump has confirmed that — should he win this year’s US presidential election? — he’s planning to appoint X owner, Elon Musk, to what Trump calls a ‘government efficiency force.’

After Elon publicly endorsed Trump’s campaign.

Outside of the fact that that sounds like a ‘Cash for Honours’ arrangement?

I don’t think that’s wise.

It’s whiffy, rather than wise: smelly, rather than sensible.

But if appointing a man who owns a media platform is wise, is sensible, is — ha — a good thing?

Then Silvio Berlusconi’s appointment as Italian PM — despite his owning three of Italy’s biggest TV channels, despite his alleged links to the Mafia, despite the many controversies — was very wise, indeed.
