Very exciting news: The Onion has started a creative agency. We've been doing this quietly for months, so if you've seen a funny ad somewhere, it may be us. But now it is a whole-ass company. Anyway, we have killed Don Draper for a second time and revived his drunk ghost. Contact me to access him.

a bunch of posts about abortion pills vanished from Instagram. Meta put them back after we asked what was happening: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/t...

Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

wrote about the meta-averse creators speaking out ahead of the tiktok ban

Ahead of looming ban, TikTok creators resist the move to Meta
Creators say “the vibes are not the same” on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and that monetization tools leave much to be desired.

My colleague @katiehicks.bsky.social at Marketing Brew interviewed Bluesky COO @rose.bsky.team. "Bluesky has more than 21 million users. Where does it go from here?"

Bluesky has more than 21 million users. Where does it go from here?
The platform won’t touch ads for now, and is instead focused on paid subscriptions, payments, and getting more people signed up, its COO said.

Love this @rose.bsky.team quote to @katiehicks.bsky.social: “We’re not positioning ourselves against X. We’re positioning ourselves as the new social web.” (And we figured out how to embed Bluesky posts into the CMS lol) www.marketingbrew.com/stories/2024...
