Thanks for consuming my weekly dose of aggregated press releases masquerading as profound insight. Here at ClinkOut and across various unvetted blog platforms, I regularly regurgitate whatever basic tech PR agencies throw into my inbox.

A bespoke-suited “Global Futurist” has finally solved the healthcare crisis. Put away your bandages, ignore the fourteen-hour wait times, and definitely don’t bother funding the nurses, because the only medicine the collapsing system needs now is an actionable synergy dashboard. God help us all.

Gideon Pivot-Paradigm, Global Head of Stating the Obvious Through Algorithms

Berlin, Tuesday 2nd June 2026

RIGHT! LISTEN TO ME! You’ve got these absolute charlatans, these bespoke-suited snake-oil salesmen floating around on corporate networking sites, publishing little essays for other bespoke-suited vampires to applaud. I read one today by a bloke—let’s call him Bartholomew Sparr, a “Global Futurist.” A futurist! That’s not a job! A futurist is just a bloke who owns a crystal ball but went to business school!

According to the shiny-suited ‘thought leaders’ currently infesting LinkedIn, artificial intelligence is now a fully-fledged scientist, and laboratories can drive themselves. But before we hand over the agonising, beautiful poetry of human discovery to a predictive text engine, perhaps we should ask why we’re letting middle-management buzzword merchants sell us the tickets to our own obsolescence.


Right! Listen! I was looking at LinkedIn the other day. Why do we do it? Why do we subject ourselves to LinkedIn? It’s a website designed specifically to make you feel like you’ve died, but instead of burning in a majestic, fiery hell, you’re trapped in an eternal, beige purgatory of middle-management synergy meetings. It’s a digital holding pen where sociopaths with MBA degrees and aggressively white teeth congratulate each other on waking up at 4 AM to drink lukewarm lemon water, take an ice bath, and “crush their Q3 paradigms.”

Alright, citizens! Gather ’round, because I’ve been standing in the queue at the local organic laundromat in Tufnell Park, and I’ve had an epiphany. I was looking at a discarded copy of The Posh Spreadsheet Quarterly, and there he was. The man, the myth, the human megaphone for corporate mediocrity: Bernie Bumper-Book.
