A Harvard researcher said something in their 2024 climate report that I’ll never forget: our climate doesn’t respond to intentions. It responds to chemistry. It’s a science. Period.

In 1967 my dad worked only in the summer, making $1,500. It was enough to pay his $750 per year college room/board and tuition at Rutgers.

For the same degree in 2008, I paid $48,000 just for the tuition. My rent was an additional $12,000 per year.

Incels are already upset they can’t get a girlfriend, it’s going to be a REAL rude awakening when Trump’s admin bans their coping mechanisms:🌽 and 🎮

Hear me out: Uber but you can specifically request a driver that brings their dog.

10/10 would take exclusively.

Learned how to talk about Trump in my Zulu lesson today.

If you’re looking for a place to get news without having to watch mainstream media or scroll social media, the news wires are literally the source material for everything. Subscribe to a wire service 👍 it’ll come straight to your inbox before anything else is published.

Either Barron is getting absolutely roasted by his friends rn for “I like my suitcase” or he doesn’t have any friends at all and it’s just the internet roasting him. Both work.

5️⃣ As women and marginalized groups continue to face challenges in other areas of society, we’ll see a huge boost of support for women and minority owned brands and businesses. Those creators will see bigger audiences as people find new ways to support those communities.

What else would you add?

4️⃣ To appeal to Gen Z and the Alpha’s, brands will create new product and service segments and continue to be extremely bold (think Ocean Spray Cranberries and Dunkin'​) with their campaigns - and it’ll work.

3️⃣ Nostalgia will be an important sentiment, especially for the Gen X and Millennial audiences, and we will get the return of more nostalgic players (we’ve seen this with the rise of Lindsey Lohan, N*sync, Christina Aguilera, and JoJo this year).

2️⃣ In response to this, we’ll see an increase in news coverage on social media and see traditional media outlets bring in creators as guests to appeal to their audience. As people start to get more and more news from social media, we’ll see news happen faster and even more misinformation.

Here’s what I think we’ll see as Marketing, Communications, and Media trends in 2025:

1️⃣ Mainstream media will continue to lose their viewers and subscribers to creators, podcasts, social media, and substacks in particular.

Them: do not obey in advance
Us: immediately obeys in advance

All I’m saying is I’m not sure if the ocean aliens had anything to do with the Oceangate debacle but I do think we should send a few more billionaires down there just in case.

Been asking myself the same thing all day.

Oh Jaguar please tell me it isn’t so.

When your brand is that iconic, changing it is such a HUGE gamble.

To me, this is a big miss.

What do you think?

Teflon Don man.

A beautiful and horrifying piece written by a 16 year old girl for The NY Times. Worth the read.

On LinkedIn no less

Let me see if I have this straight.

Right now it’s totally cool and normal to believe that aliens exist and they live in the ocean.

But it’s bat shit crazy to believe that a man who has done nothing but lie and cheat his whole life, would lie and cheat to steal an election.

Got it.

I thought we’d hit rock bottom with the Sec Def pick. I mean damn he was a weekend host couldn’t even find a weekday anchor to handle defense. And then AG hit today and tbh I think I’m broken now.

Taking bets for what Trump is going to appoint MTG to. I think she’ll be Press Secretary.

Matt Gaetz as AG tells me Trump is actually powerless. The most qualified people in the world for these roles won’t work for him. This will be a lame duck, shit show of an administration rife with corruption and conflict.

Honored and delighted.

All of Trumps appointees so far have openly killed or harmed dogs.

People who harm dogs have a special place in hell. Tells me a lot about the people he’s surrounding himself with.

This is absolutely on purpose. I just don’t know why.

The first guy is being replaced by the second guy. WE ARE SO COOKED.

JFC 🤦🏻‍♀️ we’re cooked.
