Had to abstain this time… I refuse to choose between West Side Story and the Devil Wears Prada. Honestly an impossible decision.

Favorite quote of the night (in the form of advice to today’s companies, regarding their comms approach): “Less control, more participation.”

PR Week’s Steve Barrett and Edelman’s Richard Edelman in conversation at the PR Museum

Among other eye-opening, troubling, invigorating insights from PR Week’s Steve Barrett and Edelman’s own Richard Edelman: “You’re doubling down on AI?” “I’m quintupling down.” #prmuseum #trustbarometer

Hits on a few levels. Seriously worth a watch! Five stars/ranches ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

48 Hours Without A.I.

“City and state, please.”

“Are you a human being?” I asked.

“Yes, I am.”

“Me, too!”

Thanks, @ajjacobs.bsky.social, I needed that today 😂

"Despite owning a car, and not being a regular bike commuter to work, @bradlander.bsky.social was comfortable enough on the ride to be able to talk and gesture and weave through mixed traffic." 😂 So silly but I also appreciate @davecolon.bsky.social checking that candidates can like walk & chew gum

Women's Sports Happened By Accident, And Could Be Taken Apart On Purpose | Defector It’s Monday night, and I check my local TV listings to see what women’s college basketball games are on. I make a note to catch all the big women’s college gymnastics meets coming up on Friday. I duti...

“Overshadow”? Hmm. I feel like there were some more action-oriented options… tho I admit the CAPS has punch with some demos… Diminish. Undercut. Outperform. Rise Above, even. I need those “nevertheless she persisted” vibes back in my life.

Genuinely still cackling over that line. And there's definitely an element of laughing-so-I-dont-cry.

I am finally a proud Hell Gate subscriber. For the record, @nickpinto.bsky.social pushed me over the edge with "..."Freedom is ethical," he mused, sounding like a towering political philosopher and not at all like a sociopathic vampire who feeds off warehouse-sized batteries of human labor..."

"The revolution about to be televised you picked the right time but the wrong guy"

Can You Change Someone’s Mind? – Lab 075 Dope Labs · Episode

I adore Dope Labs but fell way behind and only just listened to Lab 075 from August 2022… and it’s as relevant as ever. (I especially needed to hear the conclusion, starting around 26:00)

Such excellent commentary by Beth Gibbons and Shana Tabak as well. Tabak just got me with "the climate is the crisis—not the people displaced by it." 🥹

How to prepare for climate migration in the US YouTube video by Brookings Institution
