“I’m not remarkable” is brilliant strategy, casting and production. Kudos to Apple for making what I think is the best commercial of the year. youtu.be/KmFPWxjmnqE?...

Wow. Omnicom is axing the DDB, FCB and MullenLowe brands 🤯 and will operate only three global creative agency networks, BBDO, TBWA and McCann. Huge news in ad land. www.campaignlive.com/article/omni...

If “6-7” confuses you, here’s a thorough explainer on our long history of linguistic memes. Nice effort @gregswan.bsky.social gregswan.substack.com/p/eat-my-sho...

RIP Jack DeJohnette - one of the most artful and propulsive drummers ever. This duet with Michael Brecker is etched in my brain. open.spotify.com/track/3mewo7...

I think the rule is all calliopes must be mildly out of tune.

When someone is presenting and using a browser I am much more curious about all their bookmarks and tab titles than the actual slides.

“Assault rifles turn survivable injuries into fatal ones. They turn small tragedies into mass tragedies.” It’s that simple. www.startribune.com/several-annu...

These guys are simply not smart.

This is how normal people stir their coffee, right?

A Gentle Reminder is an awesome name for a metal band album title

A scintillating user experience! One could draft an opus to desktop printing, regulations, culture, bad habit, and adhesives. Also, fonts.

I think my favorite thing about @microsoft.com PowerPoint is its ability to absolutely mess up any and all typography - desktop app or online, it’s sure to fail you 100%.

Money quote: “As ever, this speaks to the discomfort financial executives have with the very idea of creatively leveraged alpha (above market returns).” @farisyakob.com In other words, creativity works, but how is an adamant mystery for some. www.warc.com/newsandopini...

“Solidarity and advocacy across generations are not just an exercise of empathy, it’s a means of future survival.” Kudos to @teenvogue.com for continuing to shine a light on complex topics, like aging. www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

Thank you, Mike Monteiro, for articulating the curse of addiction to certainty: “They want order. They want sameness. But the only sameness they want is for you to be as miserable as they are.“

MOPFNE SHOFERINE!

Hats off to @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social for scientifically describing Trump and team, as “committing economic suicide to chase the ghosts of an imagined past while promising an impossible future.” We’ve seen this not work at all, before!

I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

Walz: It's like trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country

Wow. @booker.senate.gov can talk coherently *and kindly* for 24+ hours, meanwhile POTUS can’t speak without malice or ignorance for a few sentences.

Jerry Seinfeld explains AI better than most

Thank you @teenvogue.com for writing coherently about disability rights. www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

I don’t agree with MN state rep Jim Abeler (R) on much, but do appreciate his willingness to advocate for the disabled here in MN. His colleagues in DC should listen. www.startribune.com/state-gop-le...

More of this!

I’m glad I ordered all those Girl Scout cookies @rickwebb.net - especially when it’s late and I have deadlines tomorrow

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Does criticism of Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 halftime performance resemble the frustration aimed at Bob Dylan in 1965 when he “went electric” at the Newport Folk Fest? Why get angry at an artist for doing what artists are supposed to do?

Congrats to @matt-levine.bsky.social on a decade of writing the best finance column on the planet. Money Stuff is an amazing accomplishment! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Kendrick. Enough said. Not Like Us wins the Grammy.

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about” - Beyoncé after winning Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”

Doechii wins Best Rap album. Fabulous! #grammys

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov - MN orgs like Gillette Children’s are actually reducing government funded research waste. And they don’t have to sleep on the floor in the office to get results.

@ryanhatesthis.bsky.social makes it plain for Journalism. “Welcome to 2025. No one reads your website or watches your TV show. Subscription revenue will never truly replace ad revenue and ad revenue is never coming back.” Thoughts @karaswisher.bsky.social ? www.garbageday.email/p/yeah-it-s-...
