Another image that sums up the protest.

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.

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.

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.

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

My son appreciates the day after the super bowl.

-is earned media your key KPI

And still the world turns.
