Literally just stepped off stage at #WTSFest Philly after my session on AI and content.

The key takeaway: Don't let the bots order your cheesesteak. They'll always sound like tourists.
By this time tomorrow, we'll have the keys to our new apartment and begin putting the hell of this last chapter at our current apartment complex behind us.

Happy first 5:30p sunset of 2026, Denver! We'll have 5:30p or later sunsets until Nov. 1.

And psst...we're less than a month away from 7p sunsets (March 8th)!

By this time next week, I'll be neck deep in moving with the movers packing us up and getting us the frak out of this hell hole. Can't wait. The countdown is on.

The people who say "Someday AI will buy concert tickets for you" have no idea how many weeks I spend

- staring at the seating chart
- analyzing new vs. resale
- studying price fluctuations
- estimating when the next ticket drop will happen, etc.

I will never let an AI buy concert tickets for me.

Re-reading This Is How You Lose the Time War and realizing it's a content marketing playbook.

Each letter: written to one person, not an audience. Specific. Brief. Earns its emotion without a warm-up. Builds trust through pattern, not a single moment.

Nothing like trying to plan a move in 2 weeks without being able to pack beforehand. These next few weeks are going to be super fun. /sarcasm

This is how you raise a son who can't take care of himself, believes everyone else exists to serve him (especially women), and has zero responsibility for his own actions. So, spitting image of his dad, basically.

Regular people are starting to trust AI like it's a confident expert.

Marketers don't. We've seen how it actually works: it can hallucinate, flatten nuance, and sound 100% sure while being wrong.

That gap is going to create a long-term trust problem.

“Delve”? “Ever-evolving”? 3 em dashes? AI wrote that.

AI didn't break content. It just exposed it.

On this episode of the Page 2 Podcast, I share my real workflow, the questions that uncover a brand's actual voice, and why "more" has never been the goal.

This is about working with intention, even at scale.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

Writing poetry again is changing how I see content and UX.

Users don't experience "features" or "funnels." They experience relief, confusion, trust, friction, shame, and delight.

Poetry trains the same skill: naming the feeling precisely, then earning it with words.

Who is paying for Claude Max? The $100 or $200/month plan? Is it worth it? Are you hitting capacity at either level? I really want to use Opus 4.5 more but trying to determine if my usage makes the spend worth it.
