lol I’ve seen people argue over 3 or 4

The answer is 2, that is the limit

idk what it says about me that I needed a chatbot to remind me to stop responding politely to PR spam

Who decided that all consumer PR is “communications” and all political PR is “strategies”

My son’s key Super Bowl takeaways

Tom Brady: looks cool
Liquid Death exploding heads: lol
Instacart: is Ben Stiller ok?
Green Day: sucks

Totally valid point but she’s gonna be putting a lot more energy into investor relations and govt relations than advertising

Mamdani held his first press conference this evening at a rent-controlled building in Flatbush that’s located on the same block as several $2M-plus single family homes and a well-known crack house. The symbolism speaks for itself.

I know this because I live across the street.

Things may look bleak for the ad industry as AI slop takes over. But yesterday my son found a quarter on the ground, read the word liberty and immediately sang the liberty mutual jingle so I think we’ll be ok.

God, It's Brutal Out Here: lindseyadler.substack.com/p/god-its-br...

Just turned 46 and my goal for the next year of my life is to figure out why I felt the need to finish that Miranda July book.

Never read the comments… until the boomer rock historian logs on

Professional journalism is working three days to get Tom Cruise’s rep to say “no comment” about the guy who deepfakes his face on TikTok.

The future is already here and it’s one robot congratulating another robot for playing sia’s “unstoppable” on endless loop in every supermarket and pharmacy.

Did the producers of america’s funniest home videos realize they’d given birth to user generated content?

doing what you have to do to live that new york city middle class lifestyle every day

It’s generative AI! The last lines were great:

"This isn’t a future problem. It’s happening right now. But you wouldn’t know, because you’ve been covering crap that doesn’t matter.

Do better."

AI may not take over the PR industry after all.

This is very true… unless they’re describing ad agency employees.

best subway ad of the year. not even close. now where’s the QR code??

Fitter, happier, more productive, no apparent distress

I was ready to let go and trust my algorithmic masters until Spotify categorized mazzy star as shoegaze YET AGAIN. Everyone has a line and this is mine.

I must now retract any and all criticism of modern technology and apologize to the AI ego strokers.

ChatGPT is indeed the most important evolutionary development since man discovered fire.

My son appreciates the day after the super bowl.

Is it possible that we got through a whole Super Bowl without Kevin Hart in a commercial

My 10-month-old right before nap time

As the news cycle gets crazier every day, it’s time yet again to ask the year’s most important questions

-is it a Super Bowl ad or a SB-themed ad
-is it a national buy or a regional buy
-in which markets will it run
-will it air in-game
-is earned media your key KPI

And still the world turns.
