Today my daughter had an abortion.
As a mother, I felt a whirlwind of emotions: grief, compassion, confusion.
But as a marketer, I felt... inspired.
Because in that painful moment, I realized: every decision is driven by story.
My daughter didn't make her choice because of stats or infographics. She made it because of narratives, values, and clarity of identity - the same forces that drive great brands.
It reminded me that:
-Customers don't want features — they want empowerment.
-Messaging must be clear, courageous, and deeply personal.
-Marketing is about helping people make hard decisions with confidence.
So to my daughter: thank you. You reminded me why I do what I do.
And to my fellow marketers: remember that every campaign should come from a place of truth - even if that truth is uncomfortable.

So encouraging. From @emwhitenoise.bsky.social emwhitenoise.substack.com/p/gen-zs-col...

Gen Z's College Radio Revival

Reports say Gen Z isn't discovering new artists. But college radio stations are overflowing with new DJs. As young listeners reject algorithms for analog—the industry should pay attention.

"The views expressed by users @kaioken8026, @mrright8439, and @ZxZNebula ... do not alter the Court’s analysis."

The Court holds, based upon a full consideration of the context in which “Not Like Us” was published, that a reasonable listener could not have concluded that “Not Like Us” was conveying objective facts about Drake. The views expressed by users @kaioken8026, @mrright8439, and @ZxZNebula, and the other YouTube and Instagram commentators quoted in the Complaint, Am. Compl., ¶¶ 73-74, do not alter the Court’s analysis. In a world in which billions of people are active online, support for almost any proposition, no matter how farfetched, fantastical or unreasonable, can be found with little effort in any number of comment sections, chat rooms, and servers. “[T]hat some readers may infer a defamatory meaning from a statement does not necessarily render the inference reasonable under the circumstances.” Jacobus, 51 N.Y.S.3d at 336.

We should re-kill the American movie musical trend by at last green-lighting a big budget adaptation of Pippin. Everyone will be weirded out and confused except for me, I will be delighted.

A picture from Pippin with Ben Vereen in the center doing some jazz hands. The women on either side of him are holding spears and are wearing armored corsets and helmets with bare legs and boots.

a crude drawing of a trash bin with a large human face sticking out of the top of it, surrounded by trash, with the caption "early testing for the public trash bins with human faces that beg to be fed garbage indicated that most found them too unsettling to use. However, the small number of participants, including some investors, who said they found the bins deeply erotic, and attempted to form romantic relationships with the bins was considered promising enough to continue funding the project."

My dope friend Adrian, who is trans, interviewed 90 transgender Texans. His project is finally out: www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

We surveyed 90 trans Texans. Most said they’re living in fear and weighing a move

Respondents said anti-trans policies have complicated their sense of home in Texas and pushed them to consider leaving the state.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

By the way, I'm not saying this as some sort of "why ain't we out in the streets" or to make us all feel bad but more in the sense of: if you're wondering why you feel bad or anxious but you can't put your finger on why, it's the horrors happening all around you that you're working around.

I try not to think about this very often because the most merciful thing is my mind's inability to correlate its contents and all but Gods damn, like, fucking really?

Our communities and nation are being irreparably harmed by people who are doing it for free.

That hurts the soul to acknowledge.

It's pretty weird that we're in the 4th longest government shutdown right now.

We're being terrorized by our own government pro bono.

They're trying to federalize National Guardsmen, over governor objections, so they can not pay them to act as jack booted thugs.

That's WEIRD.
