I love the defiance and relentless energy in this letter, it gives me hope…

Love this! It makes so much sense… the B2B buyer is scared of making the wrong decision and status quo seems safer unless the whole selling experience is taking this into account

Congratulations to China for becoming the leading nation in scientific study.

Advertising during a recession is like playing offense when everyone else is on defense.

📉 Costs drop.
💰 Attention grows.
🚀 Brands that invest now take the crown later.

Your competitors? Sleeping.
You? Playing chess.

We’re running a recession-proofing campaign. DM if you want in.

It took me a day to understand why I was seeing posts from freaking Melania! I was close to shutting down my FB account, thinking Zuck had gone way too far trying to make me a republican… I belong to too many groups to call it quits but I’m glad the account swap is not as machiavellian as I thought

I wonder what % of people will be offended by the idea that Coke uses AI for ad creatives, not remembering that their white bears Xmas ads were never real…

Screenshot of a 2021 Pew Research Center study that asked 900+ experts to predict key aspects of life in 2025.

In the midst of the pandemic in 2021, Pew Research Center asked 900+ tech and other experts to imagine life in 2025. Fascinating to read back through their answers today. Many predicted "greater inequality, rising authoritarianism and rampant misinformation."

So good to see #SEO peeps here! Now it really reminds me of the early days of Twitter when we were the most active users with coders!!
We’re good…
No doubt Bluesky is where great convos will happen after watching the bird slowly die for too long…

To start on a super positive note, so many awesome examples of #WomenLeadingonClimate at #COP29! Great to be with amazing women doing the work on climate including Brazil's Marina Silva & Ana Toni, my #WomenLeadingonClimate partner Marina Mendiluce & so many more! 💪🏾💪🏼💪🏽💪🏿💪🏻

If I could give an obvious top priority wishlist: ability to follow hashtags, create no code feeds, bookmark posts, location based search, alerts or other functionalities for major events and disruptions around me. I am convinced that making Bluesky the go to for catastrophes is how you’ll replace X

I’m amazed by the quality of the UI/UX so far. No doubt the engagement is going to be much better than on Threads and drive tons of people looking for quality content beyond the current political posts!

Sad. I’m hoping it will not be the case for many smaller companies and startups wanting to find ROI with a different audience

Just in case someone wonders where I stand on politics… #catsofbluesky #singlecatladies

Because 73+ million of us are gonna have lots of use for this:
