Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 01/09/2026A lot has been said about the death of 60 Minutes under Bari Weiss but look, if their total audience over the age of 2 (P2+) is 7.3m, and 707K only are 18-49, 6.6m are wither over 50 or minors. Median viewer age is 65. 60M was already in palliative care territory. It’s news for nursing homes. 020

Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 16/08/2026It’s raining in some parts of Ireland. The kind of gentle, persistent misting that soaks earth and bushes and layers of clothing gradually and totally and inescapably. Much needed. 110
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 05/07/2026If machines do all the reading on their behalf, what’s filling their heads? STUFF YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND WITH INFORMATION. 001
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 15/06/2026I delete most Facebook updates when I’m alerted to them but this one - felt like a key retain. I don’t miss much about NYC living but I do miss the unpredictability. 000
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 02/06/2026In New York? Come say hello at the Fin Labs Popup near St Pat’s Cathedral. Full suite of events here: luma.com/fin 000

Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 06/04/2026Genuinely curious if any female readers are into Karl Ove Knaussgard. His autobiographical series is so odd. Car-crash reading, in a way. 010
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 24/02/2026AI OG and friend of Boole, Claude Shannon, died on this day in 2001. Guess what’s named after him. 010
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 08/02/2026Can’t stop thinking about how algorithmic consumption hands an discerning, adventurous-thinking minority a massive, growing advantage 000
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 28/01/2026Back to my nerdy #dataviz roots over the last week with the talented creatives at Intercom as we launched the Customer Service Transformation Report. Love the styles they came up with. 000
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 22/01/2026Temperature due to drop here tonight. People still struggling with bills and credit cards post-Christmas. This is some awful, predatory phishing in that context. Sad to think how may people will fall for it and end up even more stressed 000
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 01/01/2026Might be time to re-read @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s dad’s book. Read it in college about 20 years ago. 000
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 01/01/2026Interesting way to think about the impact of mostly consuming content via algorithmic suggestions 000
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 31/12/2025Reading ‘Filterworld’ by @chaykak.bsky.social and loving. Highly recommend - the concepts in it affect all of us now, the chapter on Netflix will peel your eyelids back. amzn.eu/d/6ZnHPsB 053
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 24/12/2025Amazing little Irish detail from The Family Stone, one of the best Christmas movies. Ballybunion! 010
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 18/12/2025I find it wild that choosing the bulletproof grade of your kid's unicorn pattern school backpack is a choice that people make in an advanced society 010
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 17/12/2025Could not agree more with the words and the sentiment of this. Tech resistance among journalists & professional communicators is insanely self-defeating and something I've sought to combat for 15 years. www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/plea... 010
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 07/12/2025Just loved Parr’s work. He had this way of poking fun at public absurdity with his camera, without ever exploiting or punching down - he remained kind and empathetic and whimsical. This is the closest I ever got to emulating him. Will spend the rest of my life trying. 000
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 03/12/2025Normally I'd assume this little detail was intentional subtext but with this crowd, you can never be sure that it wasn't just an idiotic oversight 020

Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 19/11/2025As a media trainer, if you’re not a strategic advisor, what is your worth, exactly? If you are not coaching for spin, what are you doing? Also, podcasters have been doing disclaimers regularly for years. @caseynewton.bsky.social & @kevinroose.com do it every week on Hard Fork. 110

Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 08/10/2025I find it so baffling that a new leader like Bari Weiss would be allowed by her own team send such a tone deaf all-hands message. Even a quick audience sense check with AI shows it would bomb. Mine: claude.ai/chat/c3d2884... 100
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 07/10/2025I asked Claude to assess her memo from a strategic comms standpoint and.... I mean this would have taken her ten seconds. 131
Markham Nolan ☘️ @markhamnolan.com · 07/10/2025A lot of truth in this. Especially this chunk here. 000
