The true essence of modern capitalism is paying extra for a ‘priority’ service that takes even longer than the regular service

With the week ‘Prince’ Andrew’s been having, it’s increasingly likely that ITV will snap him up for the next series of I’m a Celebrity

FYI @amycharlottekean.bsky.social now handles all my bookings.

📣Delayed lunch and learn today is this interesting read from @amycharlottekean.bsky.social Well worth a read 🎯 magazine.shots.net/news/view/wh...

The reason most pitches are lost isn’t because the team were bad, but because they listened submissively to the loudest, most confident person in the room

I’ve studied people long enough to know that sometimes it’s not “imposter syndrome.” Sometimes you’re just not as good as you think you should be, and the volume of praise you received as a kid outweighs your capacity to improve.

Is ‘people pleasing’ actually fuelling fascism? magazine.shots.net/news/view/is...

This is at Universal Studios

I saw this on Sunset Boulevard yesterday. I’ve seen these Netflix ads on social media so much that it genuinely felt like I’d spotted a celebrity. 🤣

According to ancient myth, every time you sneeze it’s a demon leaving your body. Which is why people who sneeze two, or three, or four times in a row are actually more evil than the rest of us. There’s more demonic energy inside of them to expunge

All future parents should be forced to take an exam before they have kids to prove they’re capable of raising a human being. The reason this doesn’t exist is because most people would fail

If this is a trial run to see if women can go and live on another planet while men get some therapy, then I support it

This is my impression of consumers on April fools day

You know what’s sad? A few years ago on April fools day all these brands were out there going “woo hoo here’s a silly prank let’s have some fun!” and everyone on the internet was like “🤮🤮🤮 🤮ugh how cringe” and now hardly anyone does anything. Be creative. Be cringe. DO PRANKS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

When work associates ask me for a massive favour and then say "I'll buy you lunch to say thank you" - thus punishing me twice

Spoiler: it was a cow

I’m not normal. But why do I need a label for you to tolerate me? My latest column for shots magazine investigates the tricky space of neurodiversity and labels and why some of us just don’t need ‘em magazine.shots.net/news/view/im...

I know so many friends who use ChatGPT as a therapist or at the very least a shoulder to cry on. People are so lacking in real community these days and so desperate to never be seen as a burden to others that they turn to AI in times of need instead

People really don’t care about covering their mouth when they cough anymore, eh. This train carriage is an orchestra of open coughs and splutters

The Brits feeling pretty lacklustre this year. Does anyone want to be there?

Must read. “I’ve been white womanned”; is internalised misogyny fuelling a worrying wave of social media imitation? @amycharlottekean.bsky.social www.shots.net/news/view/iv... #Business #IWD #startups #social

Fine, I’ll bite. What the fuck is DOGE

When a brand sends me an email saying “we miss you!” it is guaranteed to make me never spend money with that company again

Every time the IPA Agency Census gets released

2025 is the year Marvel sorts it shit out. I can feel it

This is.... genius. While every brand is currently declaring their product "reimagined" or "reinvented" the folks at Cards Against Humanity are following suit, selling: EMPTINESS, REDESIGNED. It's a box. An empty box! Which they're selling for £59. It’s the perfect mix of parody and audacity

Powerful reality check by @amycharlottekean.bsky.social shots.net/news/view/th...

The industry doesn't care about DEI, and it's getting harder to pretend. Wrote a piece for Shots about the real reason nothing's changing and pay gaps are going up shots.net/news/view/th...

Do people still use Kickstarter, or is that uncool now? What's a good social way to get creative projects funded, in situations where you need to mass produce something to make the costs reasonable?

Good to see @amycharlottekean.bsky.social ...hope this is you 🤞 Talking accents www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If there IS a God, they'll let me be successful in this latest You Me Bum Bum Train ballot

I WANT A FOZIA AND LINDA CHAT SHOW #TheTraitors

Top marks for this subject line from River Island

If ever there was a solid proof point for the argument that women become invisible over the age of 60, it’s Linda from The Traitors

I always see memes like this and imagine someone like Elon Musk or Andrew Tate reading it and thinking YEAH! IT’S NOT ME - IT’S THEM!

I still have my Facebook account, but my only genuine use for it is to check in every few months to see which of my school friends is racist now

Someone just messaged me on LinkedIn comparing me to Dick Whittington

You know when retailers email you and say “Congratulations! You have unlocked a special discount!” You haven’t unlocked a single fucking thing and they’re liars

My goal for 2025 is to work with people who have talent rather than people who just say they have talent

Why do so many Gen X and old Millennials get angry about saying their pronouns when they literally used to play with toys called He Man and She Ra

Gentle reminder that even though it’s probably your first day back at work, you don’t need to be a moody c💜nt on the commute

In 2025 let's normalise calling creative women "geniuses" EVEN IF they're pretty and wear nice clothes

Ugh I completely and utterly resent the pinterestification of modern life. *sprays final layer of translucent rose gold glitter on 2025 vision board*

Anyone else think that British people are starting to believe that Paddington is actually real, and that he's the only one with any chance of repairing the country's decimated moral compass?

It’s only 10.30am and already all these thoughtful emails from brands are making it the BEST YEAR EVER! 🥰

Nothing has more intense cultural moments than vegetables. Remember when we started spotlighting cauliflower? Cauliflower rice, cauliflower wings, cauliflower STEAKS. It was everywhere. And now we’re over here acting like mushrooms are some kind of celebrity?! It’s too much. Too much too soon

When I go to the pub I wanna see those

Anyone else annoyed with the founders of Twitter for selling it to Elon being fully aware that he would completely tear it apart and damage the livelihoods of so many people who’d built huge communities there that they’d effectively monetised and now have to start again growing them from scratch
