4K Mad Men was supposed to change things man, it was supposed to be a big moment

Got mine last week and really loving it so far. I read a lot of books on my phone and the big screen is basically Kindle-size.

I don't see many brand/agency folks here, but yikes this Omnicom/IPG deal is an apocalypse for an ad industry that was already struggling.

Oh hey, it's me in Adweek talking about how brands can keep up with culture (spoiler: most of them should stop trying).

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen at tech conferences Wyclef (last week!) New Order Busta Rhymes Beck T-Pain

I thought I loved King Arthur Baking Co as a baker. As a celiac parent, I want to kiss King Arthur Baking Co on the mouth. (Our first gluten-free Thanksgiving was a success.)

[whispers] we should also hold publications accountable for the actions, opinions, and writing ability of their editorial staff.

I can’t stop giggling at this. He’s posting like they’re on college tours

it really is such a damning indictment of all the odious fools and apes trump has surrounded himself that 10 minutes with a normal positive dude like mamdani de-aged trump like 10 years

love the idea of everyone putting aside their differences to fight ICE nazis together, like that one scene in The Rocketeer

I made it today on this recommendation, and both GF and non-GF family are all about it. 👍👍

"this is a movie about drunk santas, don't look for more meaning!" @sethporges.bsky.social intros his excellent and hilarious (and surprisingly violent) new documentary Santacon, streaming now!

He murdered one of your staff and this is your headline??

As a journalist/editor-turned-brand-guy guy, begging media outlets to consider that every piece you publish reflects on your brand. When you publish stupid stuff and stupid people, your brand gets associated with stupidity! And stupid stuff that gets lots of clicks does the MOST harm to your brand!

It's impossible to build a liberal, or progressive, or equitable, or even a FREE society without universal healthcare. Any policy or politician that doesn't start there is owned.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Breaks my heart that my two teenagers have grown up with this just being normal culture/political life. Year after year of horrifying scandals and abuses that are normalized by the sheer volume of them.

Same, shocked how dumb and servile these people are. Kinda makes me want to see how people email Musk.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

they're going to try to build almost 15,000 units of housing on the land that amazon wanted to have for a campus 🥲 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/n...

hell yeah to churches doing overtly Jesus-y stuff

Catholic bishops nationwide recently announced “You Are Not Alone,” a program that lays out ways for Catholics across the country to provide direct aid and solidarity to immigrants in the U.S.

BOSS: Quick, I need 20,000 words about the product. WRITER: Have ‘em for you after lunch. BOSS: And a five or six-word slogan. WRITER: Gimme three months, a partner, and a budget.

Desperate for it. Yearning. Take my money. I'm so hungry for news content by "good people with real spine," I subscribe to an indie SPORTS publication. And I don't really give a shit about sports!

People in quotes going "actually it's not profitable" and I gotta say an actual platform with good people* & real spine** would be showered with subscriptions right now, in this moment

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.

Love this thread. For me, it was learning Finnish that exposed just how silly English is. Finnish is difficult for other reasons, but "if you can say it you can spell it" is an amazing way to live. The only thing you miss out on is a spelling bee.

This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

Nothing, nothing makes my blood boil like holding up bipartisanship as a goal worth working toward. I don't want you to "work together" with them. I want you to fuckin destroy their party, salt their earth, fight, cheat, steal, and bully to enact your agenda, because you believe it's worth that.

Love to see Dem House reps openly saying "the Senate was designed to be anti-democratic and it should be abolished." Move that Overton window!

tired: disagreeing with your party's senators wired: questioning the legitimacy of the senate in a democracy

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Phew. This is the best thing I’ve read this week and is absolutely worth your time.

Judge McConnell basically walked them through the math, called all their arguments bullshit, and entered the order that the gov't stop playing games with the money while kids go hungry. Didn't even give the gov't the chance to respond.

With each round of media layoffs, I bang that indie-media drum harder. Band together and start your own thing! There's a playbook now, and startup costs and risks are real but not insurmountable. Power dynamics at big publishing houses ARE insurmountable, writers will never be safe at any of them.

I love these videos and photos that document a long history of Showing Up, even before he became a political icon. And Lander, another true Show-Up champion.

Everyone in congress can now plainly see from NYC to Georgia to Mississippi that their personal fortunes will prosper by choosing to impeach Trump

My neighborhood is so weird.

I do love the idea that the Senate Dem leader likely voted for the same guy that Trump, Musk, and Stephen Miller endorsed. Makes it very clear what the real sides are in this fight, and who's on which.

I'm firmly in this camp too. Modern life is absurdly technical and complex, most people could really use an assistant to help navigate, but can't afford a human one. "Help me make sense of this" is the killer use case.

Imagine signing up to be an orc based on bad meme. And not even an Uruk-hai, just the dumbest, ugliest, pulled-from-the-mud NPC that everyone hates and laughs at.

Freezing cold take but Waiting for a Star to Fall, She Drives Me Crazy, and Miss You Much are perfectly produced songs. Those snare tones alone validate this entire year of music. (And yeah REM and The Cure and Tom Petty and The Pixies and all the "cool" artists that aren't on this list)

ICE is abducting our residents. So Evanston will now send supervisors to every reported scene, demand IDs and document every abuse. For our community, basic justice, morality and safety is the floor — anything less is not optional.

The "don't talk about social issues" strategy only works if you *admit that was your strategy after the fact*. We're in this doom loop where Democrats try something, gaslight themselves into believing they didn't try it, then decide to try it again.
