I thought it was just me, but now I’m seeing more and more chatter online about frustrations with typos on iPhone keyboards.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

I may be an early riser, but it’s not often that hockey is what’s on my TV at that time, but I imagine much of the country has done the same. Even Missy is getting into it!

One thing that is on my mind this morning: There is a dangerous counterfactual attack on e-bikes all across the US right now and there are no bike companies or bike orgs pushing back with clear storytelling to combat it. A multi-billion dollar industry without a clear comms strategy.

The city just laid off 300 people. "Zero means zero" etc. But ok let's have a $2 million one-night show.

Honestly the dumbest thing about this is that the funding shortfall for the Celebration of Lights - for 3 shows - was about $650k
