My only contribution to the dumb iced coffee discourse is: what jobs are y'all interviewing for that have in-person interviews?? I have not interviewed in person since 2020.

I remain uncertain if this movie "needed" to be made or not, but from the teaser trailer alone it looks like Garfield 100% nailed Altman's weird little physical mannerisms youtu.be/rDZplZFnbOk

"In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library" donate.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton passed away peacefully on Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee, according to a statement from her representative.

"A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

"At Dolly's request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family."

"In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library."

If you're not tired of brand-produced series interviewing "creatives" showing their "archive" "inspiration" or "reference material", you will be soon.

I once had a rep from Muck Rack, the industry standard in earned media and PR, tell me with a straight face that a piece of content received "over 8 billion views" and when I asked to confirm "are you telling me that basically the entire population of Earth saw this?" they said yes.

What I think people closer to the marketing industry could see very early that is now becoming painfully clear to everyone is that OpenAI and Anthropic are less tech companies than they are PR/comms/lobbying companies that happen to own a tech product. This is classic spin covering a bad product:

Why do so many people turn their phone over (face down) when using it to tap-to-pay? Is this just a bizarre side effect of skeuomorphism where people think the card is physically in the screen? Was there some bad tech demo that people got thrown off by?

If Dimes Square was shorthand for the downtown post-ironic horseshoe'd to right wing Substack glitterati, I think we should start using Hudson Square as shorthand for the new wave AI accelerationist Palantir chore coat wearing bag chasers

Was setting up ads directly in Meta Business Manager for the first time in a long while yesterday and holy shit the amount of "AI enhancements" they try and force on to you every step of the way is astounding. Started making a lot more sense why there is such a glut of slop ads on Instagram now.

Trans rights are human rights, political funding should not tip the scales of American democracy, and the constitution says what it says. Other than that, I'd simply remind my friends to not post anything they wouldn't want to see quoted on Fox News tonight. (That's what the group chat is for.)

44% of social marketers think their boss doesn't understand social. Instagram is still the number one priority for social teams. A lot of teams want to create serialized video. All this and more in Pt. 1 of the results from Link in Bio's annual vibe check survey: www.linkinbio.news/p/social-med...

The only take I have on the Ferrari/Jony Ive EV is that they should have never branded it/badged it as Ferrari and used this opportunity to start an EV sub-brand instead. The car looks _ok_ I guess, but it definitely doesn't "look like a Ferrari."

For the first time since 2020 I am flying somewhere for a meeting and flying back in the same day. I’ll be on the ground for less than 8 hours. This feels doubly neolithic considering I was on a video conference with the same people for two hours yesterday.

Before the show the people behind me were trying to teach their friend what mpreg is (but had to start with slash fic first), after the show there is a line of people waiting to take a selfie with a connection conspiracy board of people named in the Epstein files. Well done @garbageday.email.

Most interactions I see re: AI accelerationism online are rooted in either: the pro-AI person is operating from a place of fear ("if I don't do this and the snake oil salesman is right, I will lose everything") or a place of greed ("if I can con more people into doing this I will be rich.")
