online style accounts that try to look rich vs actual rich people
A small fluffy dog sits outside at a European cafe. They are surrounded by classical architecture. In front of them is a small cup of coffee, designer sunglasses, and a designer purse. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett walking with each other. Gates is wearing a peach colored short sleeve button-up shirt with tan chinos. Buffett is wearing a bright green, short sleeved shirt with geckos all over it. He also has stone colored pants.

It is fucking wild that Apple pulled 'The Savant.' I've watched all of it and there couldn't be a more relevant TV series right now.

A PR asked me to share “large pockets of time” that I am available tomorrow and it was one of the wildest things anyone has ever said to me. I don’t even have one small pocket of time.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

I can't be the only person who recently worked for a media organization (or still does) who knows the sentiment expressed below isn't true. nymag.com/intelligence...
Text from New York magazine column headlined "Do Media Organizations Even Want Cultural Criticism?": The consensus of the people I spoke to was that stand-alone reviews just don’t generate traffic, and reviews of more niche art forms, like an independent film or a string-quartet performance, are even harder sells. There are exceptions: the latest Sally Rooney novel, a highly anticipated Hollywood blockbuster, an especially beloved critic going to town on someone. But the vast majority of reviews go virtually unread.

I would follow Emerald Fennell off a cliff, so obviously I'm on board for whatever this Wuthering Heights movie is.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
