No question now that Sweeney and the CMO of American Eagle made their genetics themed gene ad for people who think Haitians eat house pets.

Oh Timmy. You sweet, summer child.

The electoral success of a certain mayoral candidate in New York will lead to a run on broadcast campaign spots in 2026 that match the look, feel, and pacing of YouTube influencer videos. Kai Cenat > Hal Riney. It won’t work for every candidate but that won’t stop nearly every candidate from trying.

Brands have data. Lots of data.
More data than you might think is reasonable about who buys the products they push. The people in the ads are highly likely to be representative of the folks buying the products. That’s it. That’s the ball game.

Glad to see all the energy out there in defense of electoral democracy.

Would have been nice to see it last year around this time when the black lady was running for President.

The Andrew formerly known as Prince. Sign of the times.

Regarding creepy internet copy that just gets taken for granted, I’d argue that “Verify You Are Human” is ten times worse than ‘You Have a New Memory.’

It’s not fair how folks like Rick Ruben and Fred Moten get to dress anyway they want and the rest of us have to suit and tie our way through the world. #humbug

Glad to see folks calling out the “Good Good Father” crowd. Or “Light FM Jesus.”

I spent two years writing digital and print-based recruitment materials for the US Army on behalf of one of the consortium of ad agencies that won the business. I can’t possibly imagine what my ACD/Copy successor is thinking, given today’s speech by Pete Hegseth.

The halftime show choice makes total sense when you consider how nearly impossible it was to be a black kid on the east coast in the late 80s and early 90s and not hear the music of artists like Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe.

Won’t win Iowa. Won’t win New Hampshire. Won’t win South Carolina. Pay this drivel no mind.

Especially Dave Chappelle.

This has been true since 1980.

Would pay to get a transcript from the flies on the wall in Bob Iger’s office.

This is class solidarity.

In case you’re at all confused.

big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high

AKA, the PHD confederation.

And their target demographic is dying.

Consider the sentiment among many online that order had been restored when Sydney Sweeney appeared in her jeans campaign for American Eagle. Having shifted course, it’s a jump ball as to the restaurant's survival, in which shifts in demography is indeed producing shifts in consumer purchasing power.

There's a way of interpreting the Cracker Barrel logo controversy as a visual representation of the Great Replacement theory, which animates a good portion of the new American right. Hard to mention in a creative review meeting without having a culture in place that would support that perspective.

What verse in the Book of Revelation is this?

DP had the catalogue you leaned on when Tribe and De La were between albums. Then Pharcyde showed up and, well, the need dissipated.

Co-sign.

The price we’re going to pay for electing idiots may supersede the national debt.

Woof.

Can I vote for this Biden?

Sometimes, the second loss is the one that sticks.

Yeah … oh well.
