Jag Man Must Die: The Inside Story of Jaguar's Polarising Rebrand When the British car manufacturer posted its audacious new brand campaign on social media last year, all hell broke loose. Esquire went behind the scenes on the big cat's punchy relaunch

Loved being interviewed by Esquire magazine about that weird moment where everyone lost the plot on LinkedIn about a car re-launch.

“..we have this absurd sense of belonging that it’s partly ours and the only way to react is to spill our guts on social”

Find some who looks at you the way Declan Rice looks at Mikel Merino.

I think it's interesting to track mood based on the spread of emojis you use.

I find I've recently had a dramatic uptick in the use of the surprised face emoji.

It's made it into my 'Frequently used'. 😲

THE MEDIUM IS THE MEH-SSAGE final word: meh-gorithm

All true.

Algos are feeding off our potential like software Weeping Angels.

Monday.
Took her for a drink on Tuesday.
We were making love by Wednesday.
And on Thursday and Friday is Severance day so don’t talk to me then. And I’ll probably be thinking about it all weekend so don’t talk to me then either. See you Monday.
Thanks.

Well, that's the rest of the day gone.

I tried to get ChatGPT (in o1 mode) to work with me to predict when St Totteringham’s Day would fall this year based on position/form/schedule.
It couldn’t even list the Premier League points correctly after a web search.

This makes a lot of sense. Perhaps the only thing that does make sense.

So how’s it going so far?

Fuck me, ChatGPT loves an Oxford comma. It's addicted. Even with the clearest instructions there they are, back again.

Totally agree. Doing consultancy over the last year I've found it weird that many businesses have lept first to customer-facing chat bots in their AI work. It's literally *the most difficult thing* you could attempt. Replicating a human is super tough. Mining stacks of data for insights is easy.

Starting work and channelling some masculine energy.

The LCD Soundsystem album that changed music – and sparked hipster culture Twenty years on from the group’s genre-splicing debut album, Mark Beaumont talks to those who were there, from The Rapture to Hot Chip, about the most influential New York band of the Noughties

This was everything. Still is.

Great piece from the legend @markbeaumont.bsky.social .

It’s like our own echo chamber for two.

After yesterday, that was an absolute joy to watch.

Proper legend. Works so hard for the team. Knows what it means. Love that man.

I love the fact that only you and I can see each other. 👋 😆

I’m just bloody excited and relieved that they made this appointment. She’s an incredible manager. I’d run through a wall for her. We’re very lucky to have her.

Why is it that I am constantly accruing followers here but I get zero engagement with any post? WTF is going on with this algo??

Using my ringlight to help grow my avocado seed rather than videoblog. Seemed like a much better use of the technology.

Bit of time between meetings so slight detour to make a pilgrimage. I think my cover’s still intact.

So good it’s making my ears hurt.

“Michael, I don’t want to suck you off on my lunch break.”

Feeling Rough.

Is it just me? I mean, IS IT JUST F***ING ME??

Saw this on TV last night. And it wasn't my drunk brain making it up, it's really there. Not only that, but checking on YouTube this morning it appears this ad has been up for a year and NO-ONE HAS EITHER NOTICED OR CARED.

So, is it just me...?

Just done the same at home to Nativity. Oops.
