I've been trying to find a nice UGA polo shirt that's all-cotton. Nope. They're all some sort of polyester or synthetic blend. Even the $125 ones. No thanks.

So how does that work? Does Andrew bring the dough and bake on-site? Or does some serious overnighting of food? 'Cause, you know, his bagels just won't taste the same without the unique, purified University Village water ;-)

When I was at Normandy I was overwhelmed thinking about 19-year olds from Iowa or Oregon far from home storming the beaches to defeat fascism. Such incredible sacrifice on behalf of people they didn’t know. So Pete- don’t bring your white supremacy to Normandy. You don’t speak for most Americans.

I think some of the Oscars commercials are way better than the Super Bowl commercials. Perhaps marketers are willing to do some more inventive work since they’re under less scrutiny but it’s still a big audience.

Yes the rupture remains. Donald Trump is not going to defend a NATO ally under attack, hence the core of the alliance-Article 5-is not operable for the US while he’s president. Also Rubio’s tone was friendly if you’re a white Christian nationalist.

Lots of #SuperBowl commercials are being pre-released in :60 and :90 lengths in the hopes people will see and like them before the game. Most of them will air in chopped up :30s that come and go in a blip, and are easily forgotten. Marketers get the Big Game wrong. #advertising #marketing

Had 4 offers to judge local ADDY shows this year. I'm wondering if AAFs are having a hard time finding judges because it's now entirely sitting in front of a computer judging 100s of case studies. It used to be way more enjoyable going to cities and judging in-person.
